''Kingdom Hearts: Link to Life'' is a ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' [[Fanfic|fanfiction]] by [[Tropers/No Limit|No Limit]]. According to him, it is supposed to be something of a [[Spin-Off]]. However, [[Tropers/No Limit|No Limit]] features other companies' creations besides [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney]] licensed ones.

The story tells of the [[Original Character]] Rika Itonami, daughter of original main character Sora, and her journey through discovery of her destiny. With help from [[Looney Tunes|Daffy Duck and Porky Pig]], Rika has to "Link" the worlds together before all of existence is wiped out and face the deadly foes known as the Purifiers and the Soulfuls. Will they save the day? Unlikely, but they'll try anyway!

Interestingly, the story features more than one protagonist. While Rika is the lead character, other main characters include [[Original Character|original characters]] Kuro Higure, lifelong friend of Rika's, son of Riku and something of a [[Covert Pervert|pervert]].

Along with that, each main character is accompanied by not only their two (three in Kuro's case) party members but a whole [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits|crew of characters, each serving a purpose to the group.]] Expect [[Loads and Loads of Characters]].

The story, while attempting to be loyal to the source material, often pokes fun at the original games and formula. Mainly running on [[Rule of Funny]] and [[Rule of Fun]], No Limit rarely takes the story [[MST3K Mantra|that seriously.]] This is actually a redone version of the first ''Link to Life'', as No Limit did not feel that the first time around was done very well - which, in turn, was a redo of his first [[Fanfic]].

Has been announced to have been canceled in favor of a ''another'' remake of the story, simply called ''[[Link to Life (Fanfic)|Link to Life]]''.

=== This [http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Prologue-87731227 Fan Fic] provides examples of: ===
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: So much so that the ''Final Fantasy'' characters' ages aren't consistent!
* [[Anatomy of the Soul]]: Souls and Hearts are complicated.
* [[Author Appeal]]: [[No Limit]] likes to cast female main characters.
* [[Badass Army]]: Radiant Garden's [[Final Fantasy VIII|SeeD]]. And when Rika, Kuro and {{spoiler|Ashi}}'s teams work together.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Also part of No Limit's [[Author Appeal]]. Oh, let us count the ways...
** [[Self-Insert Fic|No Limit]] and other original character Wolf save Rika from her first Velasoulraptor attack.
** [[Samurai Jack|Jack]] saving [[Kim Possible|Ron Stoppable]] from a Morning Star Heartless.
** And, in turn,  {{spoiler|[[Samurai Jack|the SCOTSMAN]] rescues Jack from the Power Arm Heartless.}}
* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: Adverted. Whenever someone slashes one of [[The Heartless]], blood is always mentioned. To slight [[Nightmare Fuel|disturbing effect]].
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: [http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Chapter-9-124792432 Chapter 9] was all about ''setting them up.''
* [[Circling Birdies]]: Variations of these occur between Rika, Daffy and Porky when they [[Crash Into Hello|first meet.]]
* [[Combination Attack]]: Carries on the Combination Attacks with party members.
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: [[Generation Xerox|Just like how Sora first met Donald and Goofy.]]
* [[Death in All Directions]]:  {{spoiler|The huge battle for Radiant Garden.}}
* [[Disney Death]]: Unsurprisingly, Kuro after Destiny Islands gets destroyed. ''Again''.
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Just when the Power Arm Heartless is about to take [[Samurai Jack|Jack's]] heart,  {{spoiler|[[Samurai Jack|THE SCOTSMAN]] COMES IN, CUTTING OFF THE POWER ARM'S ARM WITH HIS [[BFS|CLAYMORE]]!}}
** Also done earlier by Wolf to a Soulful.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Soulfuls. Described as ''worse'' than the Heartless. Then again, they DO destroy souls....
* [[Generation Xerox]]: The destruction of Destiny Islands and how Rika meets Daffy and Porky to the point of ''ridiculousness''. However, adverted with Kuro.
* [[Hammerspace]]: [[Animaniacs (Animation)|The Warners]], dammit! The Warners!
* [[The Heartless]]: It's ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: The Purifiers.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Rika, Daffy and Porky pick up some rather nice ones from  {{spoiler|[[The Incredibles|Edna Mode]].}}
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Pete is still with Maleficent. And [[Xiaolin Showdown (Animation)|Chase Young]] has [[Xiaolin Showdown (Animation)|Jack Spicer]], [[Invader Zim|Zim and GIR]].
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Another [[Author Appeal]]. Rika, Daffy and Porky do it multiple times per chapter.
** Hell, the ''chapters'' hang lampshades.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Considering ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''...
* [[MacGuffin Location]]: You know how Traverse Town is the fragments of the worlds whose hearts were lost to the Heartless? The entire premise is ''based'' on that small fact.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Rika's name is Japanese for "link" or "linker"; and Kuro's is Japanese for "black."
* [[Mega Crossover]]: Ever want to see [[Samurai Jack]] ask for a [[The Simpsons|Squishee from the Kwik-E-Mart?]] Now you can!
** [[Crossover]]: Kind of obvious, being a ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' story.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by ''[http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Chapter-4-103063413 chapter] [http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Chapter-7-112991297?submitted=1 titles.]''
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Several for the various series featured, and one toward the story being a redo of the first ''Link to Life'' when [[Empathic Weapon|Stardom Key]] mentions déjà vu when Rika first arrives in Traverse Town.
* [[Now Where Was I Going Again]]: Yakko, Wakko and Dot take on the role of chroniclers for Rika like what Jiminy Cricket did for Sora. However, they often lose interest and Wakko keeps eating the pages.
{{quote| '''Wakko''': Mmm, vowels....}}
* [[One-Man Army]]: Adverted. Unlike what Sora did in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]]'', the others has backup.
* [[Original Generation]]
* [[Our Souls Are Different]]: The Soulfuls.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: It's what helped Rika out of her [[Heroic BSOD|BSOD]].
* [[Power Trio]]: Not just Rika and {{spoiler|Ashi}}'s main partners, but Rika and Kuro and {{spoiler|Ashi}} together:
** Rika's Group:
*** Rika: Reasonable and reserved. (Ego)
*** Daffy: Wild and nutty. (Id)
*** Porky: Balanced and order. (Superego)
** {{spoiler|Ashi}}'s Group:
*** {{spoiler|Ashi}}: Always proud and full of passion. (Id)
*** {{spoiler|[[Classic Disney Shorts|Donald]]}}: Wishes to get things done and lawful. (Superego)
*** {{spoiler|[[Classic Disney Shorts|Goofy]]}}: Has to keep the two working together. (Ego)
** Rika, Kuro and {{spoiler|Ashi}}:
*** Rika: [[Deadpan Snarker|Annoyed and sarcastic.]] (Ego)
*** Kuro: Believes in keeping everything together. (Superego)
*** {{spoiler|Ashi}}: Passionate and rather impulsive. (Id)
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Rika's reaction when told the plot.
* [[Saving the World]]: Well, worlds. However, they're actually all little worlds that were broken off from one world, so technically that's still one world.... My head hurts.
* [[Shout Out]]: So many that it breaks continuity. Such as  {{spoiler|Batman}} being in a universe where ''one of his movies is mentioned by Daffy earlier''.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: If ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'' didn't count, Daffy and Porky here. Also [[Super Mario Bros|Toad]].
* [[True Companions]]: Rika, Kuro and {{spoiler|Ashi}}'s teams. Rika, Daffy and Porky's especially shown at the end of [http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Chapter-5-104711951 Chapter 5.]
* [[Two Guys and A Girl]]: Rika, Kuro and {{spoiler|Ashi}}
** Technically, Rika, Daffy and Porky too.
* [[The Usual Adversaries]]: The Soulfuls, the Heartless, [[Rule of Three|the Nobodies]]...
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: What the [[Big Bad]] is, considering she's  {{spoiler|[[Omnicidal Maniac|destroying worlds]] so they'd form together again into Traverse Town.}}
