Jesus this is long. The end comes pretty fast in the last chapter, so it's probably not a bad idea to just start there for re-readings.

Sorcerer of the Wilds by OrcusNoir

Summary
The newest member of the ragtag group of heroes throughout the ages literally falls from the sky in front of them.
It doesn't take long for them to realize that he's not a fighter like the rest of them, at least not anymore. And that's ignoring the fact that he's a shy nervous wreck who clearly isn't used to being around nine other heroes with questionable social skills.
(AU where Wild is the last to join the Chain and he's not a swordsman like everyone else, but is instead a sorcerer because his chronic pain meant he couldn't fight with an actual sword anymore. He's got a lot of healing to go through with that, and the Chain will help him because he's one of them, even if a sorcerer Link wasn't what they were expecting.)

Summary
Being sent to the Rito in the dead of winter is a punishment. Link is ostensibly relieving the longtime Hylian military attaché, so this could be construed a promotion—but for the timing.
Another birthday has come and gone, and still he has not presented. And even though everyone expects him to be appointed the Princess’s knight, one thing is for sure—the King will never select anyone but an alpha. And he certainly won’t trust his only child with someone who hasn’t even presented yet. Maybe it would be different if Link had the sword that seals the darkness, but he doesn’t.

Summary
It's always the Heroes that are left to clean up the mess the Royalty leaves behind. But, when The Chain finds this mess to clean up, they never would have thought it was one of their own. And never in their dreams was it one so young, even one hundred years after their gravest of sins were committed. They're lucky they're dead already or Time would have ripped them apart. Him and everyone else in the Chain, Hero or not.
