Description:

This is an entirely original Links Meet story, featuring four new Links (not connected to any existing games). But there’s a twist: none of these Links won their final battles. One was captured, one was killed, one turned traitor, and one fled. Now, years later, beaten and in various stages of acceptance, these former heroes have the chance to help those worse off than they are. They must have a little courage left, because they’ve agreed.
This is a story about gratuitous angst and, through it all, hope and courage and healing.

Also nicknamed "Bad End Links." Find the side series (extra fics) here: Sword's Power (working on reorganizing)
