Summary
After years of fighting between Hylia, Demise and their allies, Hyrule has been burnt asunder and has been rendered uninhabitable, both sides so beaten down there is barely anyone left to fight. To save the mortal races, Hylia devised a plan to abandon the surface and send the survivors into the safety of the skies.
The final sky island is about to be raised, but The First Hero cannot shake the feeling that this isn't over. Not yet.

Summary
When Mineru’s spirit passes on, her broken construct body is left behind, along with her secret stone. Zelda, Link and the sages can’t let such a powerful ancient artefact fall into the wrong hands. They have two options:
Either, they return the stone to the Spirit Temple, which, while difficult to find in the Depths, is defenceless now that the seals upon it have been removed. Or… They appoint a new sage to carry the secret stone and use it to protect Hyrule.
Choosing the second option is easy, especially when everyone already knows who the new sage will be.
An AU where Wild gets Mineru's secret stone after the true ending to TOTK, and where the Chain is more in sync with their inner beasts.

Summary
It all starts with a memory.
When Time, Twilight and Wild realise that they have something in common other than the Hero's Spirit and their Beast Souls, they fall down a rabbit hole of secrets and family relationships, not just concerning themselves, but the rest of the Chain as well. The blood of heroes runs through their veins, and not just because they have all proven themselves to be worthy of the title.
The Chain finds themselves with a new goal, besides just defeating the Shadow and its black-blooded hordes. They find themselves an opportunity to right a wrong twenty years and multiple timelines in the making. And they will correct it, even if they have to break time itself to do so.

The Quirks of Beasts by Azure_Aeraki

Summary
Having another body, the form of a legendary beast no less, naturally leads to developing some odd habits, behaviours and routines. Instincts are the worst, taking care of a body that is completely anatomically different to a hylian has a steep learning curve, effects bleeding between the two forms make even being hylian strange sometimes, and even once you think you've got it all under control, there's always the inevitable mistake.
Thankfully, when the Links start travelling together, meeting nine other heroes who all share the same spirit and a similar soul, these various quirks are almost normal. Relatable. Understandable, even. Support and empathy are freely given when you're surrounded by people who know what you're going through.
