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.

"Princess!" he yelled after her. "Where are you going?" "Back to the castle," she replied without stopping. "Not by yourself you're not!" "I'm sorry,"-she whipped around-"I didn't realize you were my father?" "Your father, the king, would execute me for letting you travel by yourself." "Oh, so this is about self-preservation?" "Yes. Yours. There are monsters all over Hyrule now, Your Highness." Blue eyes pointedly looked her up and down. "And by the looks of it, you're not equipped to handle that." She mirrored his scrutiny and scoffed. "What, and you are?" She gestured to the cairns beyond the trees. "Are you going to protect me as well as you protected them?" Calamity is upon Hyrule. The Goddess Hylia appointed but two children to prevent the end of the world. The powers they were promised don't come easily, and after years of outright failure, Princess Zelda can't help but wonder if Hylia chose wrong. It certainly doesn't help that the boy fate has tangled her with makes her seethe. Devotion, heartbreak, inadequacy. Faith, perseverance, and courage. This is a story of finding what lies within. [This story is set in a fusion of Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, with a couple tweaks and some familiar faces'n'places from older games joining along the way!] Thank you for the #1 spot in the Zelda tag! 💗 And thank you for #1 in PrincessZelda, LinkxZelda, Zelink, Midna and BreathoftheWild tags!! I'm so floored! All art courtesy of Hiyukee on Bluesky/Instagram!

Since Nintendo has announced they're not releasing DLCs for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, liberty has been taken to write about the author's vision of what additional questline(s) should be like. This story takes place prior to the final battle against the Demon King, but right after the other quests in the main questline, the equivalent of what the DLC: Champions' Ballad was to Breath of the Wild. Under a Bloodmoon's night, the Demon King is unleashing the full force of his army upon the remnants of the Kingdom of Old. The monsters Link has faced up until this point have been mere toys compared to what Ganondorf has in store. Features: -Character development for important characters, such as Ganondorf and Link -New characters and (mostly) villains, although not in excess and loyal to Zelda lore -More references to and continuity with Breath of the Wild, the Imprisoning War, and the Era of Hyrule's Founding, and other Zelda games. -Plot elements, lore, and themes explored in BOTW and TOTK at the surface level, developed further through action-packed storytelling and intriguing fan theorizing -Additional quests involving the Monster Control Crew -No new minor shrines, but new dungeons Disclaimer: Not smut nor a romance fanfic Dedicated to MajorLink on YouTube ⚔️ 🛡️
