《This story takes place after The Heroes of Hyrule!!》

It has been a year since Link and Zelda have restored Hyrule Castle and the morale of their people. The plains are bountiful with flora and fauna, the evils of the world have been erased, and Zelda has risen from the ashes of her past to become the Queen of Hyrule.

Link, however, is locked in a battle between being the knight that Zelda needs or letting his guard down and allowing himself to fall deeper in love with her. If she even feels the same way...and if she did, how would Hyrule feel about the young ruler averting her attention to focus on her own interests before her kingdom's?

"Finally, she swallowed and looked into the blue of his eyes. And all he could see were the stars shining young and bright in her own..."

"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.

""Everyone knows the tale of the Princess of Goddess Blood and the Hero of Legendary Spirit. How they are reborn every generation to fight the forces of Darkness that endlessly threatens the land. But what if there was a generation where things were different...?"" 30 years have passed since the Great Calamity had vanished from the land of Hyrule, and the kingdom had grown back to its former glory. The princess has made her triumphant return and was united with her knight in marriage. Prince Link, their only son, is the heir of Hyrule's throne. (Y/n), a young farm girl, is aiming to be the first female knight Hyrule had ever seen. She is the closest thing Link has ever had to a friend. All the knight captains believe she isn't strong enough, a "foolish young girl with a death wish". But she didn't back down, and eventually became one of the best, even ranking to top knighthood. But during the officiating knighthood ceremony, a premature reincarnation of darkness, Ganadaur, kidnaps the prince to wed him during the fabled Blood Moon. So now it is up to (Y/n) to save her friend before he is married to the latest incarnation of power. With the help of some friends along the way, she'll need to gather the power necessary to save her prince, as well as learn her destiny.

Amnesia was a funny thing. It strips you of all memories, both good and bad. But what it didn't take away from Link was his caring heart. He wasn't a man who had time to deal with or worry about things like memories anyway. All he cared about was doing what was right. But just because Link had no memories, or any interest to reclaim them, didn't mean they wouldn't return to haunt him. Ever since Link woke up, strange things have been happening around the land. Horrific creatures, not quite monster and not quite human, begin appearing at night to terrorize the denizens of Hyrule. Link, not one to simply let such evils do as they please, decides to investigate into the matter as he travels across the land to find a way to destroy these creatures. It should've been just another job for him, just a problem the people needed solved, just another errand for the incarnation of Hylia's hero. But as he investigates, he is haunted by his past. Link's mind cannot remember what happened. But his heart did. He still feels what he lost, what he failed to protect, even after one hundred years. That's what draws something toward Link, the very same evil that created the creatures he faces. It follows and watches him from the shadows, taunting him, waiting for him to remember the past he's forgotten, waiting for the pain to resurface, waiting for the time he can no longer carry the weight of it all. As he journeys on his quest to defeat Ganon and save Princess Zelda, Link must learn to contend with another ancient evil that taints the land, all while facing the ghosts of his forgotten past. But how long can a disgraced hero last in the face of his failures? Cover art designed by @DaybreakVision on Twitter. Some themes may be upsetting to some readers. Viewer discretion advised.

Back in Her Hands (NOT MINE)

16 parts Complete

[Original Description] Link has finally returned to Hyrule after being forced by the Hyrule goddesses to sit aside for seven years so that time itself can continue to flow smoothly. And naturally everyone is excited over the return of the Hero of Time, especially Princess Zelda. When Link tells Zelda of his journeys through other lands, one of those tales becomes all too real for the princess. What is it? Only one way to find out! To reiterate, this story isn't mine. It was written by someone going by the name "Grey" on VGGTS World all the way back in 2005 while the site was still active. While I don't possess ownership of this work and all credit goes to the original creator, I decided to upload it here because I wanted more people to read it, as i don't think too many people did untill now, which is a shame because I personally found it pretty good. If there's a need for this to be taken down, feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to comply.
