''[[RunningGag Better be the last time…]]''

''Link to Life'' was a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' [[FanFic fanfiction]] by Tropers/NoLimit. According to him, it was supposed to be something of a SpinOff. However, No Limit unashamedly featured other companies' works besides Creator/{{Disney}} licensed ones.

According to the story's summary: [[OriginalCharacter Rika Itonami]], with help from [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Daffy Duck and Porky Pig]], has to "Link" the worlds together before all of existence is wiped out and face the new deadly foes known as the Purifiers and the Soulfuls. Will they save the day? Unlikely, but they'll try anyway!

Interestingly, the story featured more than one protagonist. While Rika is the lead character, other main characters include [[OriginalCharacter original characters]] Kai Higure, a CovertPervert and UnluckyChildhoodFriend to Rika; and Ashi Kiyomeru, a HotBlooded HeroicWannabe.

With consideration of the previous attempts at the story, each main character was accompanied by not only their two (three in Kai's case) party members, but a whole [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits crew of characters, each serving a purpose to the group.]]

The story, while attempting to be loyal to the source material, often poked fun at the original games and formula. Mainly running on RuleOfFunny and RuleOfFun, No Limit rarely took the story [[MST3KMantra that seriously.]] As you can tell by the page quote, this was No Limit's ''third'' version of the first ''Link to Life'', as No Limit did not feel he did a proper job with the first two - which, in turn, were redoes of his first FanFic. Yeah, he was something of a perfectionist. However, after three chapters, it was cancelled when No Limit decided to retire from writing fanfics.

!!This [[http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Chapter-1-190823284 Fan Fic]] provides examples of:
* AuthorAppeal: No Limit likes to cast female main characters.
* ContinuityLockOut: AvertedTrope. While the previous two attempts didn't even try hiding it was a FanFic, the first chapter of this one features an InfoDump of all the information No Limit thought necessary for readers new to ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' with scenes with Rika spliced in it.
* {{Crossover}}: Kind of obvious, being a ''Kingdom Hearts'' story.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Meanwhile, on the Martian home planet of the Martians called Mars..."
* {{Hammerspace}}: Blissfully demonstrated by [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Wakko Warner]] and his "Gag Bag".
* TheHeartless: It's ''Kingdom Hearts''.
* LampshadeHanging: Rika points out why Ashi didn't bother [[CellPhonesAreUseless calling for help with his cell phone until after they were attacked.]]
** Really, ''everything'' in this fic is lampshaded.
* MeaningfulName: Rika's name is Japanese for "link" or "linker".
* MythologyGag: Done splendidly with all sorts of references to ''Looney Tunes'' history in the second chapter.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Possibly the reason why Rika got her Keyblade.
%%* FreudianTrio: Not just Rika's main party members, but Rika and Kuro and Ashi together:
%%** Rika's Group:
%%*** Rika: Reasonable and reserved. (Ego)
%%*** Daffy: Wild and nutty. (Id)
%%*** Porky: Balanced and order. (Superego)
%%** Rika, Kuro and Ashi:
%%*** Rika: [[DeadpanSnarker Annoyed and sarcastic.]] (Ego)
%%*** Kuro: Believes in keeping everyone working together. (Superego)
%%*** Ashi: Passionate and rather impulsive. (Id)
* ShoutOut: All sorts of sci-fi references during the ''Duck Dodgers'' segment in the second chapter. This one particularly stood out for anime fans:
-->'''Duck Dodgers''': Initiate tactic One-Nine-Five-Two: [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann The Drill That Will Pierce the Heavens!]]
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Rika, Kuro and Ashi
** Technically, Rika, Daffy and Porky too.
