The Hero of Time is needed once again!

After battling Majora in an alternate Hyrule, Link awakens to find himself in a mysterious forest and his memory gone. Returning home to Kokiri forest, he finds that nothing has happened. It's as if he had never left. Seven years pass and Link has grown. Though the forest had yet to be touched, the rest of Hyrule was in a state of decay. Learning that the Goddesses left much of their power in three rings, he sets out on his journey. But this time he will be aided by many friends along the way. The foe that threatens the lands this time is no pushover; an unknown enemy locked within a crack in space and time. Can Link obtain these rings and stop him from escaping his prison? Along the way, he will come across new and old foes and gain memories of another timeline.

A Linked Universe Reader Insert Fanfiction. This day was not going as you had planned. It probably was not going as planned for these travellers you had started to follow around either, because there was no way you would stay somewhere full to the brim with monsters alone and unprotected - dream or no dream. And well, some company is better than none. Even when they only communicate in "Hya"s. Or: A modern day person unexpectedly finds themselves thrown into Hyrule, where they run into the Links. _________________________________________ 28.2.2020 - 28.2.2024 Part one is now finished. The sequels are getting planned. Thank you for everyone who read and enjoyed this tale whether on AO3, Wattpad or Fanfiction.net.
