It'd be incredibly funny if the Chain got their consciousness swapped before they even met in person and suddenly found themselves living the life of a complete stranger Link, and struggling real bad. Like, holy goddesses, how is this guy living like this? And why is his Hyrule so weird?
Wind: He wakes up in Sky's body and finds himself flying above the clouds on a huge fucking bird the size of the Helmaroc King. Then, promptly flings himself off and plummets toward the earth (which traumatizes Sky's Loftwing). Wind can't believe this! This Link lives on a sky island, which is cool! He has a flying whale and Beedle too! Cool. Cool! But what kind of shitty civilization doesn't invent a flying boat!? Wind is absolutely going to engineer bird-free travel.
Legend: He wakes up in Warriors' body and immediately decides he's in hell. This guy's stupid career choice is the antithesis of Legend's ethos of living a good fucking life, and this Hyrule must have been designed specifically to torture his free spirit. Understandably, Legend attempts desertion and gets hunted down and dragged back into service by the scariest Impa. He wishes they'd just throw him in jail for the crime (at least that'd be entertaining). Instead, he gets chained to a desk, forced to do paperwork while wearing pants.
Sky: He has an existential crisis when he wakes up in Time's body and is informed that he's a married adult with a full-time job. There's a wife, he's not in love with Zelda?? And this guy is adulty-adult, and Sky's expected to fill this guy's shoes without accidentally sabotaging his marriage? And what is a cow? And what is a horse? And what is a tax?? He has to do adult responsibilities? Miss Malon, may I wreck that rude man Ingo's house? Your husband would do the same, please.
Twilight: He's miserable because he wakes up in a world with no goats, and in the body of a Link who needs a power bracelet just to lift a pot (he wakes up in Legend's body). He doesn't have a great time investigating the Dark World (he goes there because he thinks it might be connected to the Twilight Realm. Don't blame a guy for having hope, will ya?), and ends up running for his life as a pink rabbit. This guy's body is weird, Twilight decides. He can't go anywhere without magic happening to him. Gets into the water? Fish tail activated. Ugh.
Hyrule: He's in Wind's world, in Wind's body, and realizes he really should've learned to swim ages ago. But in his defense, it never came up because he had his raft, and he could walk on water with his magic boots! None of which this boy has. Sad sigh. The goddesses gave this world far too much water, and Hyrule is dying to walk on his own two feet! He's drowned too many times after falling overboard and having to be fished out by the pirate girl, who charges him a ridiculous amount of rupees every time for being a landlubber.
Four: He gets Wild's body. At first, it's actually a pretty chill experience despite waking up in a stranger's body. He gets tall (not that he cares), but the moment he swings a sword and it breaks, his mind spirals, and he ends up bedridden with guilt because he's violating the smithing oath about doing no harm to a weapon. How could he ever face his grandpa? He's going to be excommunicated from his guild, his lineage forever tarnished, because no matter what he does-no matter how carefully he does it-this guy's body, or this guy's world, somehow finds a way for every weapon to break in his hands. It's driving him insane.
Warriors: He ends up in Hyrule's world, with lots and lots of dungeons that apparently expect him to clear them. Alone. He doesn't understand how this world expects a barely-adult man to wander into caves and dungeons by himself. Warriors demands a troop and a salary. He gets denied a troop and a salary because the kingdom's budget is tight. Warriors unlocks an impressive number of achievements for all the trauma he's accumulated in dungeons. "Why dungeons?" he sometimes sobs. "Why do so many weirdos live in dungeons too?"
Wild: He's already short by his Hyrule's standards, but holy Hylia, the guy (Four) he's possessing(?) is short-short. And whenever Wild pokes things carelessly, he somehow gets even shorter. Getting chased by a "cat" and every woodland critter is no fun. Also, Wild wants to wander and dilly-dally; he wasn't born and bred to work a 9-to-5 in a smithing shop (which he has absolutely no idea how to run), not to mention all the chores this guy's grandpa still expects him to do! Why is a kid this age already a professional smith, anyway? Child labor is wrong, Wild's Zelda used to say. Free him.
Time: He’s in Twilight’s body. He fares pretty well compared to the rest. Because Epona! Then he comes across his own grave and other reminders of the merciless tide of time, which always send him into a deep depressive episode that only an old man could have. Also, he fights tooth and nail to import cows to Ordon, but his request gets denied because goats are sacred here, boy, they're part of the village's living heritage. He gets into endless arguments with everyone over the merits of cow's milk versus goat's milk.
