Considering how In tears of the kingdom everyone built torture machines for both koroks and monsters
But instead of the chain reacting like it is a silly joke they truly feel sick at it (because it might be fun for us but in the Zelda universe a maniac who commits war crimes is a really disgusting and dangerous thing)
A fanfic where the chain ends up in tears of the kingdom separated and then start feeling truly afraid of the one who would do such cruel things
Everyone ends up in more and more horrifying places
Time ends up in korok forest and hears just what horrible things happened to them and how much they fear the SCARY MONSTER who did it and assumes that at first it is the shadow
Wind ends up in a korok church and burns that shit down saving the poor things (because he actually interacted with koroks seeing them like that would hurt) he assumes that the blue stuff is some monster’s ability and swears to kill that thing
Twilight ends up in a monster prison (basically just a lot of boxes fused together to make a prison block) and he thinks that there are some sort of monster hunters who went to far (while also feeling extremely uncomfortable because he also is kind of a monster and if they treat monsters like that then he really is in trouble because being threatened with death is more pleasant than the kind of torture happening with them) he also later sees TONS of buckets filled with what he assumes is black blood and then questions just were the jailer in questions even got that much (it is way to much)
Legend ends up in a town and he quickly notices how fast the town’s people hide from him (even as he tried to calm them by saying he is a hero they just got more frantic) and he makes the only right conclusion of a hero being the one who has abused his powers (he does not yet know which)
Warriors and Hyrule end up in the depths and everyone acts accordingly (they all freak out ) especially when faced with a lot of angry arms (their faces when they saw phantom ganon was something else
And sky ends up on the sky islands and then has a mental breakdown about how much it reminds him of home (and just how empty it is now)
He also is the first one to notice the new hero who appears to be some form of CAT? goat thing the most noticeable feature being just how much the face of the person looks like it is a mask
This is how the hero of tears was introduced
He is absolutely afraid of anyone finding out what he did
