A relationship between an internationally praised athlete and a straight A student who hates any kind of attention is bound to go wrong. But these two college students don't care about the odds. While Link works hard on recovering from a traumatic injury, Zelda is trying her best to juggle the school's expectations, her Father's upper class life style, and the anxiety of a million eyes prying on her relationship.

Living amongst the ruins of Hyrule for years can strengthen a person far beyond what they'd originally planned. What will become of (y/n) when she is tasked with defending the reincarnated Hero of Time?

(Cover by @Zelinkie) - (Art by finnichang on tumblr) {-------------------} Zelda's eyes were glued to the page of the old, tattered book, her eyebrows burrowing deeper into her brow. "Blessed by the Goddesses, Zelda and her companion Link the Hylian champion, had once again defeated the great evil and saved this land. Thus, this ends the journey with the Princess and the Hylian champion once more, another adventure to be expected once again in a new generation." --- If you see someone being turned down in the middle of the park, would you go and comfort the person that got turned down? Not really, right? Well, what Zelda had done was comfort the poor boy, known as Link, from a heartbreak she never experienced. But that's all she had done, she didn't expect that their relationship from strangers would turn out to be bigger than that; she never expected that the person she had met will be the start of something new emotionally and mentally. As well as put the fate of their own land into their own hands. {-------------------} This is my first Zelda fanfic plz no flame, but I will take criticism. Comments and/or votes alone really keep me going, so if you enjoyed the chapter please let me know with one of those.

In modern day Hyrule, Link is an orphan who lives in an orphanage. Because he is meant to be the Hero of Hyrule, his bunkmates get jealous and bully him for it. When Link enters first grade, he befriends Zelda, the most beautiful girl in Hyrule, and eventually falls in love with her. The two become inseparable, but everything changes when Zelda hits puberty; she vanishes and doesn't show up at school. Link tries to contact and find her, but no luck. Five years later, Link is a 16-year-old man with severe depression and a Hero chosen by the Master Rifle. He is still in love with Zelda and thinks about her every second of his life. One day, Link saves a woman from the Yiga clan members, and that woman turns out to be Zelda. She tells him about where she has been for the past five years, and once Link finds out the truth, he dedicates his days to helping Zelda feel safe and happy again away from her selfish, rich father Rhoam and her forced fiance, Ganondorf. While Link and Zelda try to save themselves from the abuse, an evil prince from another country declares war on Hyrule in hopes of annexing the kingdom, and Link must go to war, leaving Zelda. Will he come back alive or die in the war? ***ranked #1 in #Gerudo ***ranked #1 in #linkxzelda Cover drawn by @_yapsharlene.

A year has passed since the fall of the Calamity Ganon. Things are reliving in the kingdom. Zelda thought that things would have returned to normal between her and Link, but Hyrule's hero seems to carry a burden in these peaceful times. The princess wonders if she is the one causing him to be so distant and silent once again...

A fanfiction based on HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF CALAMITY. (Cover by @Nebulace on Instagram) On the princess' birthday, three years after the Calamity's defeat, Link offers an unique and timeless gift to her, clearly unveiling his true feelings towards her. While this confession remained unanswered, a few months later, and with Link's birthday coming soon, Zelda decides to answer his yearning feelings with hers. But coming with a gift as grand as the one received from her knight? This task will prove to be more challenging than she thinks.

Link is the star athlete of Hyrule University and Zelda an exceptional scholar. They should be focusing on school and sports, but they keep getting distracted by each other. This fanfic includes characters from the Zelda franchise, but mainly from botw and aoc.
