Summary
"How many times is this?" Wild asks, giving him a small smile as a greeting.
Time sighs. "The last one."
"And how many times have you said that to me?"
It’s said matter-of-factly, not overconfidently, and Time hates that Wild knows that it’s not his first, second or even third reset.
And to think all Time's current problems would be solved if Wild just got out of his way.
A.K.A. Unstoppable force meets immovable object.
Or the Sans boss fight but the only stake is Time's sanity. And maybe his life. But mostly his sanity. -

Summary
The first time Twilight sees Time, he recognises him as the Hero's Shade. More surprisingly, Time recognises Twilight as the hero he once trained.
It takes them far longer to talk about this relevation than it should have.
A.K.A. Time and Twilight eventually have a long overdue conversation about their feelings, what a hero is supposed to do when their quest finishes, and the Hero's Shade. It goes better than anybody expected it would.

Summary
Link looks at the picture in his hands and can't decide whether to burst into tears or laughter. He takes in the other Champions' faces, takes in his own unscarred face, and feels like everything inside him suddenly makes sense. He tips the picture so Wolfie can look at it.
"Even after everything, I still look the same, don't I?"
A.K.A. Local amnesiac finally realises the person he's been trying to emulate for the past year and a half is literally himself, has a minor mental breakdown, and gets sat on by a wolf.

Summary
Despite what most people seem to assume, Wild is still Link, even after the one hundred year nap and resulting amnesia. He is still the last living Champion of Hyrule, still capable of doing everything he could do before he got whacked by too many Guardian beams and discovered that a century of sleep was not something he'd ever recommend anyone else try.
There's only really one big difference between Link one hundred years ago and Wild now, amnesia aside, and that is this: Wild cannot concentrate. Focusing? Never heard of her. Paying attention is hard and draining and most of the time not really worth expending the mental energy to do.
But people don't realise that Wild is still one hundred percent able to fight the way he did before the Calamity. There are just... a few side effects now.
A.K.A. Wild is lore-accurate in combat for three minutes, and then passes out for half a day, much to the general bafflement of everyone else.

Summary
Look, when you’re a Hero and there’s a Ganon worshipping cult out for The Hero’s blood, it’s reasonable to assume you’re the Hero in question, right?
Or: Hyrule, Legend, and Wild meet in Hyrule’s era.

Summary
Sky felt, more than saw, his earrings fully activate, the carved red hoops glinting as they shielded his body from the force of the deadly magma.
He definitely saw the utterly filthy look Wild threw them, though, and couldn’t quite suppress the urge to snort at how grumpy he looked, all swaddled in layers of enchanted rock-slash-metal.
“Something wrong?” Sky asked innocently, tilting his head slightly.
Wild rolled his eyes, clanking his way past and muttering something to himself about goddesses and favouritism.
