// NEW HOME. Link x Reader Fanfiction. //
\\ Currently undergoing revisions. \\

Home is very rarely a house, or a house alone; it is those who inhabit it, those who occupy your time and space in your heart... Those you love, and those who love you.

Home, for you, has not felt like home for a long time. In a house left to you by family, in which the family is very rarely present, in a village you'd never left...

It was as stifling as it was monotonous, and that was to say it's incredible, mind-numbingly, terribly monotonous.

Nothing happens in Hateno, the village of the normal, and it was a peaceful sort of calm, one in which you were a lone dreamer of something more, something exciting, something adventurous. 

It's obvious to everyone in Hateno that you're growing restless, but to take only what you could carry on your back and an adventurous spirit and leave the only life you'd ever known... No one thought you could, nor that you would.

But that's exactly what you did.

However, that's not to say you didn't have help. Actually, those old stories about the heroes of legend, and specifically the one you felt was unfinished, of the calamity a century ago... perhaps you could go help write them an ending.

And really, who better to journey with than the hero of legend himself? 

// DETAILS: //
First Person. Mild language, spoilers for the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Several liberties taken with Hyrule's landscape - don't expect a 1:1, exact representation of the map. Story is currently being revised, which is why it looks strange. If you read it before, I encourage you to take another look, and please, above all else, enjoy.

BOTW: The Lonely Knight by Prince_Aeris
53 parts Complete
A rewrite of BOTW's story. It has been 100 years since the Great Calamity struck the land of Hyrule. After a century of slumber, a young Hylian awakens to find the world in shambles. With nothing but his courage and his name, he takes on the responsibility to put it back on track, and maybe, just maybe, to find his place in the world. (A/N: If anyone is confused about the writing style in the first few chapters, I apologize. I wrote this fanfic when I was still very new to writing. I was still using this odd script style before transitioning to a more normal novel writing style. I hope this clears up any confusion.) (Other A/N: None of the artwork here is mine.

Unforgotten Love | Zelink ✔️ by TerminalWaifu
39 parts Complete Mature
In modern day Hyrule, Link is an orphan who lives in an orphanage. Because he is meant to be the Hero of Hyrule, his bunkmates get jealous and bully him for it. When Link enters first grade, he befriends Zelda, the most beautiful girl in Hyrule, and eventually falls in love with her. The two become inseparable, but everything changes when Zelda hits puberty; she vanishes and doesn't show up at school. Link tries to contact and find her, but no luck. Five years later, Link is a 16-year-old man with severe depression and a Hero chosen by the Master Rifle. He is still in love with Zelda and thinks about her every second of his life. One day, Link saves a woman from the Yiga clan members, and that woman turns out to be Zelda. She tells him about where she has been for the past five years, and once Link finds out the truth, he dedicates his days to helping Zelda feel safe and happy again away from her selfish, rich father Rhoam and her forced fiance, Ganondorf. While Link and Zelda try to save themselves from the abuse, an evil prince from another country declares war on Hyrule in hopes of annexing the kingdom, and Link must go to war, leaving Zelda. Will he come back alive or die in the war? ***ranked #1 in #Gerudo ***ranked #1 in #linkxzelda Cover drawn by @_yapsharlene.
No Woman Beyond by Nightsangel89
11 parts Complete Mature
"There isn't a woman in Hyrule or beyond that could satiate me like you." Alright ladies and gents, It's wedding season in Castle Town and on this season of the bachelor is non-other than the Hero of Time! Link has defeated Ganondorf and Hyrule has once again recaptured its' reign of peace and prosperity. Or has it? Mayhem has returned to the land of Hyrule as news sweeps the nation that the Hero of Time must be wed! The royal family will hold a competition/ball, and all are welcome to enter. However, our hero Link has only eyes for one girl... and that's you dear reader! (For the sake of the story we are going to pretend Zelda does not send Link back to the child timeline.) This is a Link x Reader romance and my first time writing something of this genre. There will be a PG-13 ending AND an NC-17 one. I'm giving a whirl at some smut writing (you can thank the lack of romance in my life for that.) I will add a warning disclaimer for the romantic and friendly ending for those that do not like strong, sexual content. A/N: I DO NOT OWN ZELDA! I kinda wish I did though because I'd be stanky richhhhh. All of Zelda belongs to the royal family of Nintendo and King Shigeru Miyamoto. Art for cover done by the fabulous wren stout! Whose art I use quite a bit. Wrenstout.com
The Twilight Veil (Link X Reader) by catfishhamsterlady
39 parts Complete
"Where did you come from?" Ilia asked and that's when everything stopped. Where did I come from? I tried to remember, I thought really hard but all I could say was, "I came from a place where no mortal should ever come from if they dare keep their head." The words tumbled from my mouth before I could stop them. I slapped a hand over my mouth, scared I would say more I didn't understand. Why would I say that? (Y/n) had awoke inside of a strange house, surrounded by strange kids. The only issue with that logic, she has no memory. Nothing to trigger why the young man Link and the group of children would be so kind to a stranger. It dawns on her that she needs to find out who she is again. However a darkness is brewing, and Link has a destiny to follow. The strings of fate tangle between the young duo, and (Y/n) makes a decision to help save Hyrule from the darkness. With nothing more than a brave face and an emerald pendant tying her back home, she sets out with Link. They also fall under the service of an imp itching for revenge. However, there is one person standing in the way of (Y/n) getting home. Her best friend, the Usurper King, Zant. He has made it his life goal to protect (Y/n) from himself and place a veil over her eyes to keep her from seeing his wrongs. Her wrath would for sure be the end of his evil plans. This is, the Twilight Veil. A reader insert. COMPLETED- 2018 (Y/n)- Your name (L/n)- Last name (S/c) -Skin color (E/c)- Eye color (H/c)- Hair color The plot for this story is made by me. The plot of the game is made by Nintendo. I do not own you, I do not own this game. All characters are licensed to Nintendo and I'm just a nerd in love with Link. (Y/n) is for YOU and she may not act like you, but it's how I portray it. #1 For the Tag Zant
Venture into the Unknown (Link X reader) by Pixzieez
22 parts Complete
A reboot from @KuroNinetails. Its a different story from totk, like how was going to be in the original fanfic but it still roughly follows it. This is based of the botw 2 trailer, I seen some theories about it and like, that's a good one, why not write about it. Its still a love story, but it has more adventure than anything. A girl travelled through time with the Hero of the Wild. Love. Betrayal. A love story with a grand adventure. Y/n and Link venture through the world of future Hyrule to put a stop to her father's plans to plunge Hyrule into darkness and who is gonna stop them? They are! and for Link? He never thought he fall in love with the enemy's daughter.

"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!

Dear Journal, Impa told me that writing this after Link passed would help me heal. Heal in what way? I don't want to heal, I don't even want to live. Link was my everything. I haven't seen him in weeks and suddenly he's dead? I should've been a good wife. I should have stayed by his side and fought. I wish it were me. I wish I died instead. He's the hero, he should be alive. I miss him so much. (Y/n) has remained alive for 100 years. One hundred painstaking years. Each year that ticks by, she has no idea why she lives. That is until strange towers rose from the ground and ancient shrines lit up across Hyrule. When (Y/n) returns to Impa to ask, she finds the answer. Her fiancé. Her dead fiancé had come back to life with no memories at all. A Breath of You (Link x Reader) Breath of the Wild! #1 for the tag Breath of the Wild #1 FOR LINK X READER BABY LETS GO!

And some of these friends you make will do more than just guide you along your journey... much more. TL;DR: There is no Link lol. You a r e Link. But, y'know, a girl.

One day you got transported to another universe, with all your memories of that universe being erased. You woke up in this mysterious world, with no memory of any of your past, or how/why you were there. when you suddenly you run into Link. (Cover Art isnt mine) (I'm not good at descriptions, but to clear things up, the reader is originally from this universe, and was absolutely in love with the Legend of Zelda universe before his memories were wiped. Oh, and Link is in a Abusive relationship with a made up character.) 《p.s, this takes place after he saved Hyrule, cause yes :)》 《Also, I forgot to mention, the lore and what not, like character personalities, is my own combination of the game and books combined. Forgot to mention that sooner, and finally remembered to.》
Life in Zora's Domain - Part Two by Andremoi_88
92 parts Ongoing
For anyone who wishes more about Mipha's and Link's life together, this story is a sequel to "Life in Zora's Domain". Please note that this story is a direct continuation and will make no sense to you if you have not read the prequel and know who the characters are and what has happened to them so far. Cover art is by Lily E. under the name Nurple at the time, and used by permission. This is a work of fan fiction using characters from the world of The Legend of Zelda TM: Breath of the Wild, which is owned and copyrighted by Nintendo. It is work of my imagination and is for entertainment only. It is not part of the official Nintendo storyline. I would like to clarify my approach to managing comments. I welcome all feedback, both positive and negative, as long as it's expressed respectfully. Comments containing offensive language will be removed, as they do not align with the intended tone of my narratives or the expectations of our audience. Constructive criticism and questions about certain choices in the storyline are appreciated and respected. However, I find it tiresome and unproductive when individuals use comments to disparage one plot element after another, chapter by chapter, indicating their fundamental displeasure with many aspects of the story. I hope it's clear these stories are a work of my imagination about hypothetical events in a fictional world. Obviously your vision or interpretation of possible events may differ. To those readers who find so much fault with the stories that they're compelled to deluge us with negative comments, I would politely suggest they move on to stories more to their liking. I have no intention of rewriting mine.

Life in Zora's Domain by Andremoi_88
184 parts Complete
An AU about Mipha's and Link's life together post Calamity. I tried to have some fun with this story, taking it in different directions, developing Mipha's and Link's family, making up some adventures, and creating some connections to other Zelda stories. But the main theme is Mipha's and Link's love for each other and building a happy life together. I'm sure I don't always succeed, but I try to keep the story light hearted and generally opt for happy outcomes. The first 2 chapters now incorporate the prequel stories 'His Future is in the Past' and 'Beginning Life in Zora's Domain', so this AU is self-contained in one story. If you've already read the prequels just jump to Chapter 1 - Studying. Cover art where available is by Nurple(twitter dot com/nurpleynurple) and used by permission. Spoiler Warning: This story has spoilers! On the other hand, if you haven't played the game this story won't make sense. This writing is a work of fan fiction using characters and events from the world of The Legend of Zelda TM: Breath of the Wild, which is owned and copyrighted by Nintendo.

Blood Moon: A Story Before the Calamity by 135795e
56 parts Complete Mature
Spoiler alert for this entire book! If you have not completed the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this story will reveal the entire storyline of this game. Also some parts of the other Zelda games as well. **** Two people, both crippled by grief and both struggling with great expectations. Two people, but seventeen and still older than Hyrule itself. Two people, who will grow to rely on each other, torn apart by the final ruination. The blood moon rises... The shadow of the Calamity rises over the kingdom of Hyrule, rearing its terrible head, tearing apart all that stands in its way. The deadline was hanging over the head of the citizens who depend on the success of a powerless girl and the mettle of a simply talented boy. The full Triforce shall collide once more, and when it does, are they courageous enough to overcome the own demons that haunt them and stand firm against the evil ahead? Hey everyone! There will be quite a lot of angst so if you're not okay with that, then please don't read my book. There will be rather graphic descriptions of war and battles, and self-harm and depression will trigger some of you, but there are no sexual scenes, nor swearing. Some characters will belong to me, but the majority of elements involved in my story belongs to Nintendo. Thank you guys so much and enjoy!

- DISCONTINUED Legends have told it themselves. If there was ever an era wherein the Hero had his heart residing in a girl not of the royal blood, it was the era of the Sky and the Wild. Your past reincarnations have went through a lot, two achieved his heart, the rest had failed. A twist was made after the era of the Wild, and things became hectic. It wasn't that of the human race anymore. It was told that Hero had lost his lover in the Era of the Wild due to her sacrifice to save his life, thus, in the next era.. You were born to be 'temporary'. Your only hope of living is for him to love you. But that isn't easy. Especially when you two are sworn enemies. - (This fan fiction is entirely different from the rest of what I did. The characters will remain the same, however, the setting will be altered. Like mentioned before, it isn't the humanrace anymore. This one is basically fantasy mixed with LoZ. If yu no like, I'm sorry. Thanks for reading though!) Cover made by me~ Disclaimer : I do not own you and Link. Have fun! [Original : At the Brink of Time •Revised•] [Directly linked to 'A Hero's Regret' in some chapters | Mentions of 'Death'sEmbracebasically]
