The Hero of Time is needed once again!

After battling Majora in an alternate Hyrule, Link awakens to find himself in a mysterious forest and his memory gone. Returning home to Kokiri forest, he finds that nothing has happened. It's as if he had never left. Seven years pass and Link has grown. Though the forest had yet to be touched, the rest of Hyrule was in a state of decay. Learning that the Goddesses left much of their power in three rings, he sets out on his journey. But this time he will be aided by many friends along the way. The foe that threatens the lands this time is no pushover; an unknown enemy locked within a crack in space and time. Can Link obtain these rings and stop him from escaping his prison? Along the way, he will come across new and old foes and gain memories of another timeline.

She's the only one who believes he's still out there, everyone else has moved on but her. She's stuck in a repeating cycle, her mind only focusing on one thing. Link, on the other hand, has far less control over his own repeating cycle. ~*~ Cover art by my friend @bookworm6310 ^^ The characters, world, and The Legend of Zelda all belong to Nintendo.

Written in Blood . {After OoT/MM fic} Hyrule is on the brink of another bloody war when he returns, the hero that had slipped away to be forgotten by the land. No longer a hero, living a life of isolation far away from the land that had made him a legend once. Resentful and broken, Link hides it best he can, trying to focus on the future and forget. But Zelda remembers him, the person he once was. He's so different now, and perhaps she is too. The whole land is, transformed by war as Ganondorf works to seize all that he believes once belonged to him, in a time no longer. Both Link and Zelda find themselves in the middle of this war, forced to fight and strategize and deal with their own inner demons as well as each other, amidst the war the Hylians fight to regain their land and defeat the King of Thieves. > < . DISCLAIMER . While this story is a war story, so it features violence, some gore, and death, it has many lighthearted moments and tons of (attempted) comedy. So enjoy and read at your own risk. Heavily inspired by Rose Zemlya's fic, LOZ:The Return (it's on ff.net, I recommend reading it!!) Characters, world, etc. belong to Nintendo Plot, any ocs, and cover art are mine > < . 1/6/19 .

[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.
