Written in Blood . {After OoT/MM fic} Hyrule is on the brink of another bloody war when he returns, the hero that had slipped away to be forgotten by the land. No longer a hero, living a life of isolation far away from the land that had made him a legend once. Resentful and broken, Link hides it best he can, trying to focus on the future and forget. But Zelda remembers him, the person he once was. He's so different now, and perhaps she is too. The whole land is, transformed by war as Ganondorf works to seize all that he believes once belonged to him, in a time no longer. Both Link and Zelda find themselves in the middle of this war, forced to fight and strategize and deal with their own inner demons as well as each other, amidst the war the Hylians fight to regain their land and defeat the King of Thieves. > < . DISCLAIMER . While this story is a war story, so it features violence, some gore, and death, it has many lighthearted moments and tons of (attempted) comedy. So enjoy and read at your own risk. Heavily inspired by Rose Zemlya's fic, LOZ:The Return (it's on ff.net, I recommend reading it!!) Characters, world, etc. belong to Nintendo Plot, any ocs, and cover art are mine > < . 1/6/19 .

On a person's pendant is the first name of their soulmate, the name of the person their soul is bonded to. When young figure skating prodigy Zelda and young ice hockey prodigy Link received their names at the same time and it happened to be the other, they weren't pleased and they were determined to keep it a secret and keep away from eachother. However, being in many of the same classes, having the same birthday and having extremely bad luck, the two just couldn't do so. Now there is a pair figure skating competition, and it just so happens that Zelda is chosen to partner with the captain of Hyrule's ice hockey team to represent Hyrule. All characters are owned by Nintendo.

What happens when a popular girl finds out that a not so popular boy lives on the same street as she does? They start walking to and from school together. What happens when that popular girl has to bring a date to a Halloween party? You'll just have to see. I've been getting more and more annoyed, so I'll say it here in the descriptions. Please don't swear in my comment section. If you do, I'll delete it. Hate speech, swearing, and inappropriate comments will all be deleted. Also, note to readers, I love the character Lana, and I know very well that she's a lovable kind character, who is good. For the purposes of this fic, she ended up being bad, and I apologize, it wasn't supposed to go that way. It just did. I don't own anything in relation to the Legend of Zelda, I only own the writing. Thanks for reading! Full Edits 11/4/16 | 5/4/17 Epilogue added 11/4/16

What could be better than to have your name recognized everywhere throughout the high seas? Nothing. At least until your life is troubled by a stowaway squirming his way onto your ship. Legend of Zelda (c) Nintendo This is my favorite fic I've written. It didn't take as long as the others, but it has a lot of action, and a LOT of fluff. I consider it my fluffiest book, but I'm just biased cause I love it so much xD -- I've been getting more and more annoyed, so I'll say it here in the descriptions. Please don't swear in my comment section. If you do, I'll delete it. Hate speech, swearing, and inappropriate comments will all be deleted. Whoo, enjoy ;) Started 2/1/16 Finished 3/28/16

"Ganondorf Dragmire - the tyrant that usurped the Hyrulean throne from the Lost Royal Family seventeen years ago; the cruel dictator that has had his troops terrorize small villages and drag villagers to his arena, in the outskirts of Hyrule Castle, for roughly ten years; the twisted ruler that's forced his citizens to fight to the death in his arena solely for his entertainment. He's a monster." Zelda Hark is just a regular girl, living in a backwards agricultural village, safe from the clutches of Dragmire - or so she thinks. Before she knows it, her life is turned upside when Dragmire invades her village, captures her, separates her from her parents, and throws her into the jail cells, forcing her to wait for her death in the arena. Along the way, she has to decide which she prefers - green eyes or blue... [[NOW COMPLETE]] 03/11/17 ----- 10/06/17 Zelink Dystopia All rights go to Nintendo, and all rights on the plot go to me.

The Princess of the vast kingdom of Hyrule, Zelda Nohansen was only sixteen by the time she was diagnosed with a illness called Huntington's Chorea. Which causes her memory to be very fragile from time to time, and sooner or later, it'll drive her to her deathbed.

Yet, she tries her hardest to fulfill her one wish in life, finding her own knight in shining armor, who would truly love her until the very end. Now being twenty-three years old, she embarks on a journey on her own after she gets frustrated over a personal guard that is ordered to follow her around anywhere she goes. However, during this journey her fate took an unfortunate turn and she completely lost her memory. As she continues to remember bits of her past she grows more and more curious about this one particular boy that seems to appear alot in these flashbacks. ~ All rights to Nintendo, The legend of Zelda series, thank you for making my childhood so memorable. If you happen to find any typos in the chapters, I'd appreciate if you'd let me know. I am not English, so my language is not perfect.
