There was a before when we were confused and doing our best. There is a now when we can make up for the lost time. There will be an after when we can be together for yet another lifetime. ⚔ The third and final installment of the Between Them series. In which Link and Zelda try to navigate a life of peace.

In the hit game Breath of The Wild, DLC allows you to read other champions thoughts and feelings on their journey to the great calamity, but one diary is missing-Links. In this book, see what the hero may have thought and felt on his way towards the biggest fight of his life.

Zelda and Link have defeated Calamity Ganon and are now free to go their own way. However, it is hard to get to grips with their past, which can get in the way of their present. And as if that isn't hard enough, there seems to be a new threat that they will need to face. **This story takes place directly after Breath of the Wild and has no link to Tears of the Kingdom.

The Calamity is defeated and all is...supposedly well. A year later on a chilly night, the Champions regroup only to discover resentment is tearing them apart. Secrets are brewing, tensions are high, and accusations against each other are made. A body turns up and chaos ensues. Plunge yourself into a madcap, adventurous, grisly mystery for lovers of BOTW. Warning: Sensitive themes. I suggest if you're feeling unpleasant at a certain point in this book that you stop because these themes are only going to become more gruesome as the book goes on.

One year ago, Link defeated Ganon, freeing Zelda and saving Hyrule. After not having seen Link in many months, they are finally reunited at Zelda's coronation on her 18th birthday. The circumstances of their meeting, however, are not what either of them imagined. This story takes places between the end of the botw story line and the beginning of the totk story line, and tells the story of what happened in that time. P.S. this is a zelink story, but there will only be fluff here, sorry :) Disclaimer: the characters in this story are not mine, they belong to Nintendo, and the cover art is not mine either. There might be some slight totk spoilers, so be warned.

A betrayed Champion returns home.

Fate's infinite plans spin and twirl in ways that the mind cannot comprehend. But every now and again, something unravels into a story that even fate didn't expect. Zelda was never supposed to end up in the Shrine of Resurrection, and Link was never supposed to end up dead. But sometimes, mistakes end up being the origin of an even more intriguing story. Zelda, having inherited the name Link from her fallen knight, now forges herself into a new person. From the fires of defeat, rises a hero. And this one is doing things her way.

Calamity Ganon was stronger than anyone had anticipated. Link and Zelda gave their lives to seal him away in the ruins of Hyrule Castle. But an unexpected complication with Mipha's Grace has given Link a corporeal ghost form. Now stuck amongst the living, with one foot in the realm of the dead, he must struggle to figure out what Hylia needs him to do. Luckily, the Champions of Old are there to help him. Nobody could've possibly foreseen eight incarnations of the Hero's Spirit-very ALIVE incarnations-appearing from the mists of the Lost Woods asking for Link.

"Well, Wild? This is your Hyrule. Have you figured out why we're here?" Time asked. "Yeah." Wild swallowed thickly, forcing bile down his throat. "Well?" Legend raised an impatient eyebrow, and Wild turned away. How was he going to explain this? He'd told them virtually nothing of his journey. How was he supposed to convey how terrible this situation was? That the Blights had been revived. "Come on. We're heading towards Zora's Domain." A gang-meets-Wild fic with an actual plot (I think). Featuring a Wild who's a tad more secretive about his journey. Linked Universe belongs to Jojo, and I'm just a fan. :3 Cover art by Quasar Crew

When the three goddesses of the Triforce unintentionally grant the Princess of Hyrule the Triforce of Power, and the evil locked away from the world the Triforce of Wisdom, everything is in chaos as it was before, only it's the princess this time who's causing the trouble. Zelda had been power hungry for years. Years before the mark of the Triforce of Power appeared on the back of her hand, she'd always thrown fits if something didn't go her way. Now, at only seventeen and fully gifted with the Triforce of Power, she made sure things went her way, and her way only. Ganondorf had escaped the Sacred Realm somehow, and returns to the Gerudo Village in peace. Accidentally blessed with the Triforce of Wisdom, he acknowledges the Gerudo's hard work and thrives to make his village a better place for everyone. Link, still possessing the Triforce of Courage, has been assigned to be Zelda's personal bodyguard and do something horribly wrong to please her majesty, which he does not partake in ever doing. Fate brings Link and Ganondorf face to face. Somehow, Link and Ganondorf team up and secretly plot against the princess to stop her vile plans to make Hyrule miserable. After all, it was Courage and Wisdom who saved Hyrule all those times before, right? •• [Post OoT; Before the events of TP] The Legend of Zelda belongs to Nintendo.
