''[[http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Prologue-87731227 Kingdom Hearts: Link to Life]]'' is a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' [[FanFic fanfiction]] by Tropers/NoLimit. According to him, it is supposed to be something of a {{Spinoff}}. However, Tropers/NoLimit features other companies' creations besides [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]] licensed ones.

The story tells of the OriginalCharacter Rika Itonami, daughter of original main character Sora, and her journey through discovery of her destiny. With help from [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes 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 [[OriginalCharacter original characters]] Kuro Higure, lifelong friend of Rika's, son of Riku and something of a [[CovertPervert pervert]].

Along with that, each main character is accompanied by not only their two (three in Kuro'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 pokes fun at the original games and formula. Mainly running on RuleOfFunny and RuleOfFun, No Limit rarely takes the story [[MST3KMantra 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 ''Fanfic/LinkToLife'', which you can read [[http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Prologue-87731227 here]]. After three chapters, that too was canceled when No Limit decided to retire from writing fanfics.

!!''Kingdom Hearts: Link to Life'' provides examples of:

* AlternateContinuity: So much so that the ''Final Fantasy'' characters' ages aren't consistent!
* AnatomyOfTheSoul: Souls and Hearts are complicated.
* AuthorAppeal: No Limit likes to cast female main characters.
* BadassArmy: Radiant Garden's [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII SeeD]]. And when Rika, Kuro and [[spoiler:Ashi's]] teams work together.
* BigDamnHeroes: Also part of No Limit's AuthorAppeal. Oh, let us count the ways...
** [[SelfInsertFic No Limit]] and other original character Wolf save Rika from her first Velasoulraptor attack.
** [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Jack]] saving [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Ron Stoppable]] from a Morning Star Heartless.
** And, in turn, [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack the SCOTSMAN]] rescues Jack from the Power Arm Heartless.]]
* BloodlessCarnage: Averted. Whenever someone slashes one of TheHeartless, blood is always mentioned. To a slightly disturbing effect.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[http://nolimit5.deviantart.com/art/Link-to-Life-Chapter-9-124792432 Chapter 9]] was all about ''setting them up.''
* CirclingBirdies: Variations of these occur between Rika, Daffy and Porky when they [[CrashIntoHello first meet.]]
* CombinationAttack: Carries on the Combination Attacks with party members.
* CrashIntoHello: [[GenerationXerox Just like how Sora first met Donald and Goofy.]]
* DeathInAllDirections: [[spoiler: The huge battle for Radiant Garden.]]
* DisneyDeath: Unsurprisingly, Kuro after Destiny Islands gets destroyed. ''Again''.
* DynamicEntry: Just when the Power Arm Heartless is about to take [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Jack's]] heart, [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack THE SCOTSMAN]] COMES IN, CUTTING OFF THE POWER ARM'S ARM WITH HIS [[{{BFS}} CLAYMORE]]!]]
** Also done earlier by Wolf to a Soulful.
* EldritchAbomination: The Soulfuls. Described as ''worse'' than the Heartless. Then again, they DO destroy souls....
* FreudianTrio: 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:[[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Donald]]]]: Wishes to get things done and lawful. (Superego)
*** [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Goofy]]]]: Has to keep the two working together. (Ego)
** Rika, Kuro and [[spoiler:Ashi]]:
*** Rika: [[DeadpanSnarker Annoyed and sarcastic.]] (Ego)
*** Kuro: Believes in keeping everything together. (Superego)
*** [[spoiler:Ashi]]: Passionate and rather impulsive. (Id)
* GenerationXerox: The destruction of Destiny Islands and how Rika meets Daffy and Porky to the point of ''ridiculousness''. However, adverted with Kuro.
* {{Hammerspace}}: [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} The Warners]], dammit! The Warners!
* TheHeartless: It's ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.
* HumanoidAbomination: The Purifiers.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Rika, Daffy and Porky pick up some rather nice ones from [[spoiler: [[Franchise/TheIncredibles Edna Mode]].]]
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Pete is still with Maleficent. And [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Chase Young]] has [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Jack Spicer]], [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim and GIR]].
* LampshadeHanging: Another AuthorAppeal. Rika, Daffy and Porky do it multiple times per chapter.
** The ''chapters'' hang lampshades.
* MacGuffinLocation: 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.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Ever want to see WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack ask for a [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Squishee from the Kwik-E-Mart?]] Now you can!
* MeaningfulName: Rika's name is Japanese for "link" or "linker"; and Kuro's is Japanese for "black."
* MrExposition: [[LampshadeHanging 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.]]''
* MythologyGag: Several for the various series featured, and one toward the story being a redo of the first ''Link to Life'' when [[EmpathicWeapon Stardom Key]] mentions déjà vu when Rika first arrives in Traverse Town.
* NowWhereWasIGoingAgain: 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.
-->'''Wakko:''' Mmm, vowels....
* OneManArmy: Adverted. Unlike what Sora did in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', the others has backup.
* OriginalGeneration
* OurSoulsAreDifferent: The Soulfuls.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: It's what helped Rika out of her [[HeroicBSOD BSOD]].
* RefusalOfTheCall: Rika's reaction when told the plot.
* SavingTheWorld: 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.
* ShoutOut: So many that it breaks continuity. Such as [[spoiler: Batman]] being in a universe where ''one of his movies is mentioned by Daffy earlier''.
* TookALevelInBadass: If ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' didn't count, Daffy and Porky here. Also [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Toad]].
* TrueCompanions: 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.]]
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Rika, Kuro and [[spoiler:Ashi]]
** Technically, Rika, Daffy and Porky too.
* TheUsualAdversaries: The Soulfuls, the Heartless, [[RuleOfThree the Nobodies]]...
* WellIntentionedExtremist: What the BigBad is, considering she's [[spoiler: [[OmnicidalManiac destroying worlds]] so they'd form together again into Traverse Town.]]
