The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | BotW Novelisation
"..." "...Link...Wake up." "...Link...Open your eyes." "Link." ----- 100 years after the events of the Calamity, Hyrule still lies on the verge of annihilation. The Princess, the King, and the five Champions were believed to be dead. However, the Princess and the fifth Champion are still alive... With Tears of the Kingdom released, I thought it'd be nice to remember the tale before it. Follow Link on a magical journey through Hyrule with his trusty companion, Tech, in this retelling of a beloved story, but with a twist. Find out what happened to Hyrule and unlock secrets about the distant past, all while trying to save Hyrule before time runs out! Can our Heroes do it? Read to find out! Disclaimer: Rights of the storyline goes to Nintendo as well as the characters for Zelda. Rights go to Lucasfilm for Star Wars things. Note: It'll have some fanart done by other artists and me, and it'll have the BotW OST. ----- Written by: Zelda_Story_Teller Cover by: Zelda_Story_Teller Illustrations by: Zelda_Story_Teller The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Original Soundtrack by: Nintendo Editorial by: JazzJambos
How A Princess Fights.
When Zelda is forced to marry a tyrant that would bring her country to ruin, she lashes out at her new husband. The new King plots against her so he can have the kingdom and the Triforce for himself but Zelda has many friends in Hyrule. She must leave Hyrule Castle, her home, with no one but a knight at her side. She leaves with a promise, a promise to return some day, an army at her side and retake her kingdom, liberating her subjects from the King's tyranny. This is a Zelink story but I doubt it will be as good as my first Zelink story, 'A Princess Problem' but let's give it a try. I love feedback so comment on anything and everything, and correct me if you think I'm wrong. Be warned, there maybe smut but it is minimal. #1 Zelink OH MY HYLIA! THANKS!Complete
Unforgotten Love | Zelink ✔️
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.Complete
Lost in Time- A Zelink Story
What if, when Zelda and Link were plummeting into the depths together, Link had just managed to grab Zelda's hand? This is that story. Now, both Zelda and Link are stuck in the past, in a world very different from their own, trying to find their way home. Tensions are rising at court as Ganondorf takes power, and Zelda can't deny that she has feelings for her best friend and only tether to the world she once knew. Will they both make it out alive? Disclaimers- The main characters in this story belong to Nintendo, they are not mine. There might be some totk spoilers, so be warned! The inspiration for this fanfic comes directly from one of my readers, so thank you so much! This story should be pretty PG-13. I hope you enjoy! :)Complete
Fighters | Zelink Dystopia
"Ganondorf Dragmire - the tyrant that usurped the Hyrulean throne from the Lost Royal Family seventeen years ago; the cruel dictator that has had his troops terrorize small villages and drag villagers to his arena, in the outskirts of Hyrule Castle, for roughly ten years; the twisted ruler that's forced his citizens to fight to the death in his arena solely for his entertainment. He's a monster." Zelda Hark is just a regular girl, living in a backwards agricultural village, safe from the clutches of Dragmire - or so she thinks. Before she knows it, her life is turned upside when Dragmire invades her village, captures her, separates her from her parents, and throws her into the jail cells, forcing her to wait for her death in the arena. Along the way, she has to decide which she prefers - green eyes or blue... [[NOW COMPLETE]] 03/11/17 ----- 10/06/17 Zelink Dystopia All rights go to Nintendo, and all rights on the plot go to me.

Tears of the Deity
Link, the Hero of Hyrule, has just learned of Princess Zelda's fate after seeing the final dragon tear. Overcome with grief, he sets out to seek a legendary power, one he believes will guarantee Hyrule's victory...and his revenge. But will he lose himself in the process? A HUGE thank you and shout out to @fire_bird_ana for making the cover art for this fan fic! She has some incredible LOZ art you should check out, as well as her own fan fic that I highly recommend. Author's note: This story takes place during Tears of the Kingdom, right after Link discovers the last of the dragon tears. It combines elements from that story, in addition to some of my other favorite Legend of Zelda games. Though I generally try to stay true to lore, at times I made adjustments to help things flow. I don't claim to be a professional author or Legend of Zelda expert, I just wrote a story that I would enjoy. *I do not own any characters used in this story.

The Legend of Zelda: The Magician
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.

No Woman Beyond
"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.comComplete
