With one last summer before college, Zelda is forced from her books and other introverted habits to be a camp counselor at Lake Hylia. Her plush mattress is traded for a cabin cot and the mosquitos are out to eat her alive but it's what her parents wanted to teach her some social skills before the dorms. It's just one summer after all. Link is on his way to the army after joining the staff for the last time at the summer camp he was practically raised in. He's determined to make the most of it, and that means teaching the new girl all the ins and outs he's been learning since the seventies. And maybe it means getting her to kiss him too.

"You know, you should stop by my place on Tuesday," Zelda comments in a tone so jarringly sweet he's reeled right back in. He shakes his head, certain he's misheard her. "What? I-" "Our cleaning lady comes by on Tuesdays," she smiles. "Maybe she can vacuum all those cobwebs out of your ears-since your head is so pathetically void of any intelligent thought." Link slams the pencil down flat. "If you hate tutoring me so much, why don't you just quit already?" It's Link most daunting adventure yet-High school! Having just moved to the big city, Link is struggling in more ways than one: Relentless bullying, no friends besides his sassy little sister, and to top it all off, he's failing! But when tutoring pits him against the most popular girl in school, he realizes he might not be the only one in need of rescuing.

Among the civilized, kidnapping is under the long list of crimes one wouldn't commit for fear of a disrupted society. For a pirate, kidnapping isn't much of a crime at all.

The Heart of the Race follows a modern Hyrule where Formula 1 racing defines heroes and legends. Rookie driver Link joins the struggling Hyrulean Racing, turning the team into unexpected challengers with his fearless talent and quiet determination. As rivalries ignite - from Ganondorf's reigning dominance to Revali's pride and Zelda's conflict between duty and dream - every driver races not only for victory, but for identity and purpose. Across roaring circuits and desert sunsets, courage, ambition, and destiny collide in a story where the true battle isn't just on the track - it's within the heart that drives it. *All characters belong to Nintendo save for some original characters.

The night burned with fire and screams. Zelda stood amidst the chaos, her voice trembling between command and prayer. Then-through the smoke-a figure emerged. Cloaked in black, his blade shone with the light of the dying moon. Each strike carried purpose, fury, and something deeper she couldn't name. He was no knight of Hyrule, yet he fought as though its fate were his own. When the flames dimmed, and the silence fell heavy as ash, Zelda caught a glimpse of his eyes-bright, haunted, and unbearably familiar. And for the first time, she wondered if the kingdom's salvation... had been walking in shadow all along. - *I have a couple original characters, but all other characters belong to Nintendo.

School rivalries run deep. Championship games, fights in the bleachers, and bad blood that's been brewing for decades. Link is the star basketball player at Hateno High School. Their most hated rival being Kakariko High. So falling for one of their cheerleaders is definitely not a smart decision. - NOT MY COVER ART - MOST CHARACTERS BELONG TO NINTENDO
