This is a fanfiction, I only own the OCs and some of the plot. Breath of the Wild belongs to Nintendo and so does most of the plot. This contains spoilers for BotW do not read if you haven't played through it.

This story contains mature language. Technically there is slight Cannon x OC in this fic even though it's one-sided, so if you don't like that don't read it. The story will be updated whenever I can fit it into my busy schedule. 

The cover was edited together by my friend Maddie.

Blighted Memories by Bard13

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.

[ Discontinued ] When The Last Petal Falls [Link x Reader] by XxInsanity9870xX

- 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!

No Woman Beyond by Nightsangel89

"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

Fortune Favors the Courageous by wowimreallydoingthis

"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!

✓|Twisted Triforces (Link x reader) by -Wishi_Washi_Writes-

What if Link was on the verge of death? Goddess Hylia opened up a portal when the hylian hero Link was close to dying at the hands of Calamity Ganon, who has a way to stop the reincarnations. What if something went wrong? What if the triforces were mixed up? Ganondorf gets courage, Link becomes wise, Zelda becomes evil. Can the castle astronomer, Y/N, fix all this before it's too late? "Oh, Y/N!" Zelda cried "What do I do? I need to have Wisdom- not power!" Zelda flopped down on the stone steps. Y/N pats her friend's back "Maybe it's a mistake..?" "Hylia makes no mistakes!" Zelda bursts out. "Who could've ended up with Wisdom...?" Zelda muses. Y/N taps the princess lightly and points to Link, who is whistling quietly in the corner. "Remember when he fixed the guardian?" Y/N whispers, Zelda looks at her in horror. Disclaimer: I do not own nintendo or you! I only own the new characters and events in this book! I made the cover but not the cover art!

The Legend of Zelda: The Magician by kpoemsinger

Link being sent back in time didn't save Hyrule. Ganondorf is still refusing to give up his attempts to take over Hyrule and Link is tasked with finding a powerful magician to stop Ganondorf's advances. However, they're too late, and darkness sweeps over the land once again. Link and this magician must now save Hyrule and bring it back to the light by repeating what he had done before; cleanse all the sacred temples and put to rest the spirits of the six sages who guard them. Yet, Link can't help but feel that this magician is familiar to him; and, oddly alluring. But does the legendary hero have time to stop and think on his feelings for this tempting magician? Or will submitting to his feelings cause the land to be soaked in its hero's blood? ~~~~ ~ Watty's 2020 FanFiction winner! ~ Wattpad's Featured FanFic's Ambassadors Pick of 2025 at #1 in Fanfiction Ambassador's "The Ultimate Fanfic Anthology" under the chapter "Ambassadors Picks | January '25"! ~ Featured on Fanfiction Ambassador's "Video Games FF" Reading List 2025! ~ Featured on Fanfiction Ambassador's "LGBTQIAP+" Reading List 2025! *Highest Ranking*: #1 in ghiralink - 2021/01/02 #1 in Ocarina - 2022/01/10 ~~~~ [WARNING] This book is still not immaculately edited.

A Blood Soaked Tale (TP Link x Reader x BOTW Link x SS Link!) by ShizukaKioko

(Y/n), thought she knew her friends.. But she doesn't know everything about them.. When she does learn their secret, how will she react? (Assassin! Breath Of The Wild Link x reader x Assassin! Twilight Princess Link x Assassin! Skyward Sword Link!) [Kinda Updated-] I don't own any of the Link's, or any of the characters that are mentioned in my story the original owners are Nintendo. And I don't own you! I only own the plot. ( I may have two or three OC's in here.. ;) (I don't own the fanart ether. So, credit to the original artist! Oh, yeah. And, incase you couldn't already tell, the story was also inspired by, 'Assassin's Creed'! ^^ If you haven't played it, then I suggest ya do!.. But, ya don't have to..)

BOTW: The Lonely Knight by Prince_Aeris

It has been 100 years since the Great Calamity befell the land of Hyrule, leaving the once prosperous kingdom in ruin. After a century of slumber, Link wakes up alone with no memory of who he is. The voice of the long lost Princess Zelda calls to him, telling him to save her kingdom. With nothing but his courage and his name, he takes on the responsibility to put it back on track. But as his memories begin to creep to the surface, he soon finds not all is as simple as he once thought. Will he be able to cut himself off from his feelings to complete his quest? Or will he be swallowed by them, as every new memory unlocks another secret buried in his heart? A novelization of BOTW's story. (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.

The Silent Princess by Zelink2408

Zelda and Link have finally reunited after the Calamity, and there's a lot to do to restore Hyrlue to its former glory. On their adventures together, Link and Zelda get closer than they ever were before. Could this finally be the Zelink we've all been waiting for? So we all want Zelink to happen, don't we, so I made this short story just as a substitute until it really happens (probably never). I hope you guys enjoy this and let me know if you want me to continue. Btw I don't own any of the characters (obviously) or any of the pictures (I. Wish I did though)

Breath of the Wild: Link and Friends by yulimalane03

Elyza looked past her village to the land beyond. She saw the Dueling Peaks. She had never left Necluda. Even Kakariko Village seemed far away. Now, looking at it, it didn't seem so far. She looked the other direction. She saw what looked like a big...tower. Huh? Has that always been there? Elyza thought. I don't think I've seen that before. Ever. When did that get there? And... why is it glowing orange? A story that follows the storyline of Botw but we gave Link some friends (my ocs). :) Pretty angsty in places. Also, this was the first fanfiction I ever wrote and while I have edited it some, the beginning is not that great, but it gets better, promise.
