Hero of Time, still clutching his stomach from laughing so hard, suddenly gasped for air between the fits of laughter. "I... I can't breathe! I can't..." he wheezed, his face turning a shade of red as he tried to catch his breath. The ridiculousness of it all—the endless antics of Wild Link's sleep-talk—was just too much.
"*Oh no...*" Hero of Time choked out, laughing even harder. "*That was the best thing I've heard in ages! I—*"
And just like that, with one final, desperate wheeze, he slumped forward, completely fainting from the lack of air to his brain. His body went limp, and he crashed to the floor with a soft thud.
"*Time?*" Zelda called, looking up in confusion. "Is he...?"
Tears of the Kingdom Link hurried over, kneeling beside him. "I think we broke him." He slapped Hero of Time's face lightly. "Come on, old man. Wake up."
"*He's really out for the count,*" Age of Calamity Link said, his voice full of amusement. "Well, at least we know *he* can't keep up with the madness."
Hero of Time let out a quiet snore, still unconscious. His body twitched occasionally as if he were dreaming, his face relaxing into the most peaceful expression he'd had in hours.
"I think he's done for a while," Zelda said with a smile, wiping away a tear from laughing so much. She turned to the others. "He's just... *so* dramatic."
"*Should we leave him like that?*" Tears of the Kingdom Link asked, amused but also concerned. "He *did* pass out from laughing. He might need a minute."
"Nah, he'll be fine," Age of Calamity Link said. "But I think we can leave him to sleep for now. I'm sure he's earned it."
And with that, the group let Hero of Time sleep off his laughter-induced fainting spell, though not without more chuckles from the rest of them. It was a rare moment, one where their usual serious adventures had turned into something utterly ridiculous—and they couldn't help but enjoy it.
The room was filled with soft laughter, everyone savoring this strange but comforting moment of peace, where even the most hardened heroes could have their funny, ridiculous moments.
But for now, Hero of Time was out cold, and the others settled back to wait for him to recover, knowing full well that even in his unconscious state, he still had the best laugh in the land.
As Hero of Time continued to snore away, the rest of the group couldn't help but watch in disbelief at how much laughter had overtaken the seasoned warrior.
Tears of the Kingdom Link was the next to crack, holding his stomach as he tried to stifle his chuckles. But it was too much. He stumbled back a few steps, and before anyone could say anything, his knees buckled beneath him. With an exaggerated gasp, he fell straight to the ground, fainting just like Hero of Time.
"Oh no, not you too," Age of Calamity Link groaned, shaking his head, even though a grin tugged at his lips.
"I... I can't handle it...!" Tears of the Kingdom Link's body twitched, and then, with a soft thud, he collapsed beside Hero of Time, completely out cold. His face wore a goofy smile, as if even in sleep, he was still caught up in the ridiculousness of Wild Link's bizarre sleep talk.
Age of Calamity Link glanced at Zelda, shaking his head. "Is everyone in this room a bunch of lightweights?"
Zelda, equally amused, could hardly contain her laughter. She was wiping her eyes as she spoke, her voice full of mirth. "I think you're next, Link. It's only fair."
"What?" Age of Calamity Link's eyes widened as he took a step back. "Me? I'm not laughing. I'm totally fine."
But before he could finish his sentence, he stumbled. It started with a small, almost imperceptible shift in his balance. His eyes glazed over slightly, his legs buckling as if they just couldn't hold him up anymore.
