Masterpost!!!
Another writing idea for Linked Universe. One I may or may not write. Not sure yet. Now this idea is full of angst but if you write it, it could have an happy(ish) ending. I will understand if you either hate me or love me for this prompt.
Prompt: Mask and Tune leave the Captain’s time for their own and hope that Link can finally rest and relax. Unfortunately the exact opposite happens to Link. Link is constantly dealing with traitors that want to kill him for starting the war. (The fact the woman who actually started the war can seen roaming through the halls of the castle freely is irrelevant to them.) For over a year Link has many many many attempts on his life. 3 major attempts a day that Link is aware of and several minor ones that others has taken care of.
Everything comes to a breaking point when someone attempts to take Linkle’s life, thinking she was her brother. Linkle survives but Link has a major mental breakdown. Like really bad.
Zelda temporarily relieves him of duty (with hopes of him, one day, returning) and Impa takes him the secret Sheikah village to recover. Recover does not come fast. Link is severely paranoid. Has to watch every food for him being made. If he doesn’t see it being made, he will not eat it and will throw it. (He did this to a child delivering a bowl of soup in the beginning of his stay. The bowl narrowly missed the child’s head. He apologized later.) Plus among other things, like the fact Link can’t sleep without 2 knives under his pillow, at least 4 on his person, and his room being insanely boobytrapped to the point even Sheikah are both impressed and worried.
By the time 8 certain heroes come through a portal into his Hyrule a few years later, Link is a bit better but seeing blue or green colored fabrics, among other things, will send him spiraling back. By that time as well, Zelda has shown what happens to those who turn traitor. It is not quick and painless like it was before. Cia is also finally punished for her part because while she was under some control, most of her actions were her own. 
Time and Wind are at first excited to see their big brother when they realize who’s Hyrule they’re in. Until they meet Zelda and she tells them what happened.
Time and Wind wished they never left.

Hylia fans, enjoyers, critics, slanderers, folks who like Linked Universe but are mine's, Legend's and Time's spirit animals in wanting to vibe check a goddess for what she did with them and First, an idea/sleep deprived headcanon for y'all. Just an idea that will be completely obliterated by Tears of the Kingdom but hey I can dream.
Hylia, but she purposefully uses the appearance of each of the Zelda's depending on who she's dealing with, but just a bit... Off, Lullaby, but her head moves like an owl's, too bird like in nature for it to look normal (alluding to her connection to the Loftwings), Dusk, but her lips don't move when she talks, her voice booms like thunder but is as soft as a breeze, Flora, whose words feel scorching like an inferno and sitting near a crackling fire at the same time, just a bit grating but you can't help but be comforted, wanting to get close, wanting to stay close. Artemis, but her eyes are blank, not even how the Light Spirits portrayed the Interlopers in Twilight Princess, straight up no iris or pupils, because 'eyes are the window to the soul' an deities wouldn't leave theirs, if they even have any, open to anyone to use, her looking at you makes it feel as if you have just been flayed open from neck to gut, your organs on display, a bone deep cut of too much knowing, does she know it? Knows your deepest secrets? Your deepest fears and insecurities? The things you would want no one to know? Will she execute you for them or will she accept you for a it?
Just saying, if y'all don't want to go full on monstrous (though if ya ask me monstrous Hylia is PEAK), uncanny valley is always a good idea as any, maybe have her wear a bird mask to 'hide' her identity so that it gets harder to tell, make it so that her voice and speech patterns are all of rh Zelda's melded together. Remember, Hylia's form in the manga was as close to a human as she could make it probably because she didn't want to scare First/The First Hero off (because ya know, deities are basically living concepts, they can have multiple forms and usually looking at their true ones is a bad move, hence why many of them shape shift in myth), Sun/Skyward Sword Zelda is her human vessel, but who's to say after so many years from there some things wouldn't start slipping through the cracks? It's in the subtleties, the very, very subtle differences that tell anyone the Zelda's aren't human, but the vessels or something much bigger than them, something which is always on the edge of time, waiting. Watching.
Also, if we go the Tears of the Kingdom theory route, or a ghost Chain in general, I also proposed Ghost Zelda's, all of them by Flora's side, but she could only really see or talk to them after she unlocked her powers and the differences between them and Hylia is very, very obvious once you start looking at it.
Plus, if we are possibly seeing the 10.000 years ago Zelda, then I propose we just leap and see them all after so long. Or that BOTW Link/Wild also can see the 10.000 years Catalyst Hero, or the rest of the Links and/or dives into their memories for maximum emotional damage, in this essay I will-
