Summary
When Link’s Twilight Shard is stolen from him and he’s once again stuck as a wolf, he doesn’t mean to accidentally fall through the strange triangular portal that appears in front of him. When he does, he’s transported into a strange Hyrule that he’s never seen before, and he meets eight strangers who claim to share the same name as him. The only problem: he’s not actually a wolf, and he has no way of letting the others know.
—
Twilight loses the only thing stopping his curse, is sucked into a portal, and meets the Chain as Wolfie.

Summary
A blade that can stop any curse. It might be a reach, but it had worked before, and it could work again. The Master Sword was the most powerful sword he’d ever known, and if he could just touch it, maybe everything would be okay.
The real issue was how he was going to get it away from Sky.
—
Now in Skyloft with no idea how soon he’ll be able to return to his Hyrule, Twilight tries to find an alternative way to break the curse.

“The snow’s cool and all,” Sky commented, crouching down and cupping some in his hands, “but what’re we supposed to…do with it?”
Time grinned, an almost scheming look in his eyes. “Have any of you ever had a snowball fight?”

Summary
The Sheikah woman cleared her throat and said, “Well, you’ve come at a good time.”
The Chain swapped glances. That couldn’t be good. Silently, Twilight resigned himself to more constant fighting for the next couple of days.
Artemis smiled pleasantly. “Yes. You have all arrived just in time for the anniversary of the War of Ages ending.”
Twilight didn’t know what that meant, but Warriors’ expression screamed oh, no. “That means…”
The Shiekah finished for him. “That means you will all attend the annual celebratory ball.”

Summary
“I know where we are.” Twilight had been wolfing (haha.) down the last of the meat skewers Wild had taken out of the Pad for a quick breakfast when he’d made the announcement. Heads turned in the old man’s direction. “We should make it to Hyrule Field in maybe a half hour.”
“And then where?” Four asked, a good night’s rest having chased away his headache. The glint in his eye made Twilight think he already knew.
“Oh,” Time said illusively, and was he smiling? “You’ll have to see, I suppose.”

Summary
Time cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, “who wants to help give Wolfie a bath?”
“Me!” Seven voices shouted in unison, everyone dropping what they were doing and running as fast as they could in Twilight’s direction. Faced with the option to accept his fate or run from it, Twilight found his decision easy to make.
He ran. Fast.

There was a blinding flash of light, contrasting against the dark cave so aggressively that Twilight couldn’t help but flinch back.
When the light faded, Four was gone.
No, scratch that. Four was—everywhere?

Summary
A small, reasonable voice in the back of his head said, should you be more worried about this? You might be getting sick.
Shut up, subconscious, he thought, somewhat deliriously.
—
Being sick while stuck as a wolf isn’t an experience Twilight has ever wanted. Unfortunately, Hylia seems to have it out for him specifically

Summary
He was a wolf, yes, but a wolf with a Hylian mind. He knew things. He could do things that he shouldn’t be able to do as a wolf. The Chain already knew there was something different about him, and while they could be pretty dense, all they needed was a push in the right direction, right? Maybe a really hard push, but a push nonetheless.
And so he started to scheme.

Summary
“Where—” Legend choked out.
“It’s okay!” Wind answered. The sailor in question was one of the two people on his feet already, staring off into the waves with a grin, and Twilight could see clearly now that they were on some sort of island beach, surrounded by water and standing on sand. The sailor turned to them all, beaming. “I know where we are! This is Outset!”

Summary
He lifted his nose to the air and pursued the stench, jumping over tree roots and shoving past overgrown plants, stopping only once to dispatch a large chuchu that got in his way. He could hear the others behind him, following after with a suspenseful energy, and the smell of dark magic gradually grew stronger and stronger as he closed in. He pushed his way past two withering trees and stepped into a clearing, coming to a stop.
The others stepped out of the trees and slowly halted, one by one, behind him.
“What is that?” Hyrule asked hesitantly.
“A hole,” Legend answered.
—
A mysterious island, an abandoned underground dungeon, and a series of vague messages leaves the Chain with a lot more questions than answers. But if Twilight is good at anything, it’s piecing together the facts.
And he intends to find out why this dungeon seems to know exactly who he is.

Summary
They can’t be far. He tried to think louder than his thoughts, dragging one aching paw in front of the other, feeling the mud squelch between the pads of his paws, feeling the bones in his body pleading with him to stop. If I just keep walking, they can’t be far.
There were trees all around him. They swayed in the stormy wind, their trunks screaming with the strain of staying up, their roots curled desperately in the soil, giving it their all not to break. He dragged one paw over the other. One step, and then the next step, and then the next step, and then the next step, and—
And then he tripped.
—
Injured and separated from the Chain, Twilight tries to follow the next best course of action.
If only he wasn’t so hopelessly lost.

Summary
Twilight hesitated. Time had told him to stay close…
But surely it wouldn’t take too long to follow, right? Hyrule had said it wasn’t going too well in there. He would be quick, and he couldn’t exactly afford to lose whatever trail he was on.
Sending a silent apology to Time, he left the fence and ran after.

The Chain goes to Hyrule Town to do some investigating. Left to his own devices, Twilight takes it as an opportunity to do some searching of his own.

Summary
Wind got a curious look in his eye. “If we’re not doing anything but planning today, I can totally ask what I’ve been wondering for the past thirty minutes—what are those?”
He pointed at the corner, where the boxes that had been spilled over in Sheerow’s attack lay. One box had cracked open, revealing several small bottles full of different colors.
“Ah.” Ravio winced as Legend shot him a look full of a past debate’s anger. “Those are art supplies.”

After a badly timed early morning portal, the Chain finds responsibility calling them once again. Instead of answering that call, however, they answer a different one:
The call of arts and crafts.

Summary
“I’d hope if there was a super scary or deadly fight, there would be some sort of warning sign from Hylia,” Hyrule said nervously. “Complete silence seems a little…”
“Unhelpful?” Legend tossed wryly over his shoulder.
There were no agreements at his statement, but there was also a significant lack of disagreements.
—
At the end of their time in Legend’s Hyrule, the Chain runs into a pretty big issue. Running out of other options, they decide to seek out Fable’s help.
Twilight does not manage to avoid a mini crisis on the way there, but what else is new?

Summary
Legend raised a hand in greeting and said over the music, “yeah, yeah. Surprise. We’re here to talk to you. Something important, and I know it’ll kill you, but I can’t dance until I tell you.”
“Can’t dance?” Din did not walk but rather twirled around the crowd to Legend’s side, grabbing his hand with her own, and even her eyes seemed to dance, with a mirth like they were sharing an inside joke Twilight couldn’t understand. “You know there’s no such thing. Speaking is a dance in itself, if you have the time to perfect it.”
“Would it kill you to wait?” Legend asked wryly.
“Absolutely!” Din replied, and then she pulled his arm and spun him into the fray of dancers, faster than Twilight could blink.

In Holodrum, the Chain works together to solve the mystery of the missing portals. As expected, they run into about seven brands of trouble before it all goes downhill.
