Precalamity Stories

Revali supposed he should be offended - why would the princess choose him for archery instruction rather than the pride of the Rito, and the greatest archer in all of Hyrule, over someone who can't even draw a bow properly. [Revali mansplains archery to the wielder of the Bow of Light]

For years, Zora princess Mipha has harbored romantic feelings for a certain Hylian Champion, even to the point of handcrafting a set of armor with extreme significance to her culture in hopes he felt the same. However, she soon realized how friendzoned she was when Link announced his engagement to another, Princess Zelda of Hyrule. Unwilling to destroy such a symbolic item of her people, Mipha's wishes turned to repurposing the armor as a gift of alliance. But with surmounting political pressure within Hyrule Castle, what started as the thought of a simple proposal had become extremely difficult; especially after learning something about Zelda shortly after the unrecognized marriage. With the omens of the coming Great Calamity happening more and more frequently, supporting her long-time friend and soon-to-be-ally, his newlywed wife and their kingdom just might require Mipha to rededicate herself to fighting battles for a man who would never love her back.

When Princess Zelda thinks she can have a little bit of faith n Link, he lets her down in a way only a teenage boy can.

As we all probably know, Link, champion of hyrule, was a very different person before the strike of calamity ganon. This is a story of said champion, and another talented knight, you. If you hadn't already realized, this takes place 100 years before the game Breath of the Wild takes place. Fair warning, my update schedule is all over the place, so if I don't update for long (and i mean LONG) periods of time, don't panic, I'm not dead. There will be NO smut in this book. Please don't repost any of this without my permission. If I do give permission you must give full credit to me.

Her father had cornered her in a way where the only way to save herself, and the life of another, would be to condemn herself and her born-in-exile bodyguard, Link. So that's what she must do. And pray to Hylia that her father follows Hylia's law about such matters.

This story revolves around my personal headcannon that LInk is a really good singer, but he only sings when he's alone or in a comfortable situation. Zelda is really anxious and has many different challenges and Link ends up singing to her or around her. Chapters should be in chronological order. Each chapter can be read as a one-shot, but they're all connected. What's up my dudes? How's everyone doing? I hope y'all have a good day and an even better life. Enjoy (I legit own nothing, not the characters, not the songs, nothing)

Surely it must be a coincidence? Zelda looks to her Father for reassurance, her disbelief escaping her body in the form of an inappropriate scoff. The King however remains indifferent to her silent plea, his gaze remaining fixed on the rest of the room and confirming her fears. The tension in her chest snaps and the weight held there sinks deep into her stomach. For all his chiding about what he perceived as a lack of devotion to her training, he had clearly deemed marriage a duty that could not wait for the passing of the apocalypse. She was foolish for thinking better of him. Zelda's blood runs hot, overwhelming the nausea. Curse him.
