Now I started reading in the middle of it first, so it took me a while, but I figured out how to tell the Links apart 90% of the time:

• Red Link has either a big goofy grin or he's bawling his eyes out;
• Blue Link has the Crazy Black Eyebrows of Big n' Angry Emoting;
• and the impassive Violet Link has inexplicably paler/lighter-colored eyes than the other three do.
• If none of the above fit, it's probably Green Link.

The story begins like this...

Once upon a time, Original Link was happy.

He beat up pirates and wasn't afraid of anything.

But one of his favorite hobbies was ironic foreshadowing.

Since you probably can't tell, the knight scolding Link up above is apparently his father. He asks Princess Zelda to try and talk some sense into that boy:

(I have it on good authority that that last line is more accurately rendered in English as "Well excuuuuse me, princess," but was shortened to save space.)

So for Original Link, life was good. Best friends with Princess Zelda and everything!

Then she got kidnapped by Link's evil doppelganger. Woe.

If only there were a magic sword nearby that could give him the strength of four people!

And so from the body of Original Link, four colorfully diverse heroes were born! With their ultra-super powers, they've dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil!

Little did they know that withdrawing the sword not only breaks the seal and releases the evil sorcerer, it triggers the first boss.

Unfortunately, this particular giant rock monster can only be defeated with the power nothing short of a valuable life lesson in teamwork! can provide.

Ironically-foreshadowed lesson duly learned, they can't help but notice a fell wind escapes the fresh pile of vanquished giant bits.

Dun-dun-dun.
