Summary
I wanted to do an in-depth character—and trauma—study, to explore the idea of a single hero for the Four Sword (Four from Jojo56830's Linked Universe AU is my fave because I love the Four Swords manga and Minish Cap) where his other selves aren't just arbitrary splits of his personality via the Four Sword's magic, but the result of a traumatized Link developing Dissociative Identity Disorder.
So here are the stories of the Hero of Men, of Minish, of the Four Sword, and of Light.BTW, you don't need to have played the games to read, and I'm too gay to not ship the Colours. (Primary: Red/Blue, Vio/Shadow, Green/Zelda. Secondary: Everyone/Everyone.)
[Note: Since Four Swords (the game with the second Hero of the Four Sword, who I like to call the Hero of Three Fairies for clarity) is mostly an oversized side-mode for aLttP's GBA port I'll reuse its story and dungeons for the sections of the series dedicated to the Hero of Men and the The Four-Who-Are-One—who have only been mentioned and do not have games—to poetically reduce the number of adventures from 5 to 4]

YO, this is so good?? It's so interesting to see how Link slowly splits along his quest (and collects more trauma, I mean Blue literally first came out when they ALMOST DIED so-) I like all of the fun stories for their names (makes it more meaningful than their names just being arbitrary colors) LOVE to see the hints of each of them before they first appear (definitely seeing some hints of Red, and good foreshadowing for the others as well)
ALSO, Shadow- poor boyo has so much trauma already please give him a hug and someone who cares about him
AND THEY'RE ALL ONLY 8, poor bois are not gonna have fun when their next adventure comes around.
Very very good verynice wonderful writing!
