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.

Before the rise of Calamity Ganon, Princess Zelda of Hyrule was appointed to travel across the lands. She was to learn about the technologies of the ancient civilizations before her kingdom rose and speak to the leaders of each nation. And along the way, she must bring her trusty friend and guard, Link. But as they travel, with nobody else around to talk to, they grow to find an affection for each other that's deeper than a friendship. But how, in a world governed by politics and potential war, could they find a way to stay together?

Zelda. A beautiful princess who's failures reminded by her silent, personal knight. Link. Her personal knight who's sole purpose is to protect her, whilst not uttering a single word. •○●•○• Zelda develops a deep habit of overthinking, because she feels she's failing her role as upcoming Queen of Hyrule, especially with the rise of yiga clan attacks after her mother's death. More pressure is added with the recurring topic of duties especially when Zelda finally let's loose of the kings standards and expectations-- especially when spending time with Link... who somehow has more in common with her than she thinks, despite him not saying a word. He remains a mystery to her. A mystery she hoped to solve as she slowly gets closer to him. °•○•○●° But as they open up and spend more time together, will the initial clash develop into Romance? Or will this be unacceptable since boundaries certainly exist-- especially with the rising expectation of marriage for Zelda. And more importantly- will he ever talk? Enjoy the rollercoaster! ~ Might sound boring but I PROMISE theres more to come ;) -NOT THE SAME STORY as BOTW. (No calamity involved) -If u HAVEN'T played: keep in mind this is based in Hyrule. - Must read: • Keep in mind, could contain SPOILERS • I own SOME characters • I DO NOT own fanart (e.g the cover)- I think most art has credit written, but if u want more credit or it taken down, tell me! •This is my 1st and currently most successful fanfic--I really love the game so I will focus on their relationship with a lot of depth! So it might be a bit heavy and link will not talk until later on. But it'll be worth it, so please give this a chance :) Love to hear feedback & views I TRY follow back Thank you so much!
