Summary
Link felt misplaced.
Scratch that -that isn’t his name right now- Wild felt misplaced.
And, oh, isn’t that ironic?
The only thing he’s ever felt familiar with, ever felt like it belonged, and he can’t even use it anymore.
But he gets it.
There’s eight other Links, him himself making it nine. It wouldn’t be fair for him to be the only ‘Link’ there, when there are others (and god does that mess with his head, there are others like him-) who deserves it more (way, way more).
So yeah, he gets it.

Summary
Link had considered his existence a little far from normal compared to everyone else for a while now. From the whole waking up in a glorified tub after a hundred years of slumber, to fulfilling the dead Champion’s wishes to free their souls and defeating the evil that took their lives too early and tormented the land of Hyrule for too, too long, Link considered his case a little bit more than average.
But for the normality that had come to accompany him since the fateful day he brought his sword against the malice that fed on the land of Hyrule, Link felt like a piece to a puzzle that doesn’t exist.

Pushing Forward by Spliinkles

Summary
For a long time now, all that Link has ever known was to push forward. It was ingrained in his mind, and into his bones; the foundation of his body and soul that encompassed his entire being was melded to the concept of pushing himself for the sake of survival, not just for himself but for the world he knew and the people who lived in it.
He was their key to defeating the evil, after all.
Their key that had wasted a century in slumber, oblivious to the chaos that evoked fear and projected a dreadful horror on the lands of Hyrule in its wake throughout the years it stood tall.
Yet, Link was their key all the same, and Link wasn’t going to waste his time to lose his chance once more.
So, he pushed forward.

Summary
Link considers himself one of the quieter ones out of the group, if not, the quietest.
He doesn’t mind that at all.
Being the quietest means no one really tries to talk to him, and although usually he’s ok with people talking to him, the idea that they encompass the same hero’s spirit as him; holds the same purpose as him, made him want to hide away.
So he likes to be quiet.
It also gave him a way to sneak off sometimes, too.

Summary
Link stared in horror, and the Hylian clad in murky brown and dark green (Hyrule, his mind delivered) stared back.
The difference?
Their eyes stared at the pot of burning rice and the flames that accompanied them, overtaking the surface of the pot with extraordinary strength and billowing smoke to top it off-
Link felt his hand twitch.
He should’ve known this would’ve happen.
Out of everything that could have happened, it was this that started it all.
Firstly, let's get this one thing straight-
Link is good at cooking.

The Shrine of Resurrection shouldn’t exist, but it does, and it does things to people.
Link knows that all too well.

On those nights, Link burns.

Summary
Everything who he had become, every second of his journey taken, every battle fought and friend made, had started with the name Link.
Now, to them? He was Wild.
Link hates that name.
OR
This is what happens when you put imposter syndrome and identity issues into a 17 y/o who failed at what others succeeded in.
