Free to Love - A Zelda x Link Fanfiction by lewd_lemons

Before the rise of Calamity Ganon, Princess Zelda of Hyrule was appointed to travel across the lands. She was to learn about the technologies of the ancient civilizations before her kingdom rose and speak to the leaders of each nation. And along the way, she must bring her trusty friend and guard, Link. But as they travel, with nobody else around to talk to, they grow to find an affection for each other that's deeper than a friendship. But how, in a world governed by politics and potential war, could they find a way to stay together?

TOTK: The Lonely Hero by Prince_Aeris

It has been five years since the defeat of Calamity Ganon. As Hyrule and its inhabitants strive to rebuild their once despoiled homeland, a new danger begins to awaken. With a potential threat begins to reveal itself, the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda, and the Hero of Hyrule, Link, descend down into the dark underground in search of answers. What they find though is much worse than they could have ever feared. On his own once more, it's up to Link to uncover the mysteries of the past and defend Hyrule once more. But with the sword that seals the darkness gone, Zelda missing, and his strength sapped away, can he even hope to prevail? A sequel to BOTW: The Lonely Knight (None of the artwork here is mine. Link to the artist who made the art of this cover: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/aog3aL )

Breath of Eternity by _GoldenDragonS_

Link defeats Calamity Ganon, only now it came as a price. He sacrificed his humanity to save the one he was made to protect, and became a vampire-like creature... He was now eternal, and could make others like him... He fed off blood, and the one he wanted the most was the one he couldn't have... The Blood of Princess Zelda, the Blood of who he protects... The Blood, of who he loves... - A Vampire Zelink story - (Cover art is from Kaido_Sakura on Twitter)

The Queen's Hand by SierraScribe

It's been 5 years since the end of the Calamity, and all is well in Hyrule. Zelda and Link have settled comfortably into their new lives - Zelda as Queen, and Link as her right hand. But when a marriage offer arrives from a nearby Kingdom, they will both have to decide what it is they each truly want... for themselves, and for the future of Hyrule. ~ ~ ~ Post-BOTW, Zelink, short and fluffy, from both Zelda and Link's POV. Stayed in-universe and in-character (or what I consider to be in-character, though opinions may differ). (Special commission for Alana and Bri - Hope you enjoy!)

The Silent Queen by Zelink2408

~Sequel to The Silent Princess~ Hyrule has been re-built, and Zelda is now Queen, but when the pressures of ruling Hyrule gets to her head, Link suggests that they take a trip around Hyrule to take her mind off things. A journey full of laughter and jokes is bound to cheer the young Queen up. As always, Nintendo owns the characters and places used. I don't own the front cover, and if the artist would like me to take it down, please let me know and I will happily do so.

Until The Last Breath by ABeautifulBeginning

A lot of work needs to be done to rebuild Hyrule, and to convince others to help will take a lot of work from Link and Zelda. Having all his memories back, Link is plagued with thoughts and memories of the Champions, wishing he could go back in time and save them. He can't focus on the past too much though, because an incredible threat has woken up, and will certainly destroy Hyrule if nothing is done soon. Hyrule needs a hero, and that hero happens to be Link. Takes place after Breath of the Wild. The cover photo isn't mine! All character rights go to Nintendo, but the plot is mineee! You know, minus the whole botw stuff. Credits for the book cover art goes to Taulan-art, to check out the link, here: https://www.deviantart.com/taulan-art/art/A-Champion-s-Team-Print-774711805

The two of them encounter new struggles as they try to readjust in a world with no place for them. Breath of the Wild belongs to Nintendo. Ps- cover art is mine ;)

The Princess Bride, but it's Tears of The Kingdom by HeyThereImACookie

The story tells of a young, sharp-witted princess called Zelda, who finds herself betrothed to the future king of Hyrule. However, her heart belongs to another; a poor, commoner boy named Link, whom she believes passed five long years ago. One day, she's taken hostage by a band of vagabonds and a mysterious man in black appears. The unsuspecting princess has no idea she'll be going on the adventure of a lifetime.

How To Be a Prince by Zelink2408

A story which both Zelda fans and people who don't even know what Nintendo is can enjoy. It's a princess's dream to be swooped away by her knight in shining armour, but for Zelda, this knight has to be a prince as well, in order to follow the King's rules. Link and Zelda's love is put at stake when trust and loyalty are tested. Can the two break through the laws to pursue their love, or will they give in and follow the path chosen for them? Nintendo own the characters of Link and Zelda, as well as the location of Hyrule and Hateno Village, but the rest of the character are all my own, as well as... the other location. You'll just have to read to find out what that is. Front cover art by Holly Fig Twitter: https://twitter.com/HollyFig/status/942563336087990272

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.

Dark Side of the World {A Legend of Zelda Retell} (Completed) by TheBoomStick

Link: a rogue troublemaker who steals from village people, flirts with all the women, and tortures the people of Hyrule. Living life the way he wants it, no rules, and not a care in the world. Zelda: a woman who gets tangled with the wrong people and doesn’t know that she was kidnapped as a child and is really the true ruler of Hyrule. She has a split personality where she thinks she’s Sheik, a worrier who fights for good. Ganondorf: the ruler of Hyrule who killed the king for his throne. He knows about Zelda being the real ruler but has kept that a secret this entire time. He also knows that Link is suppose to be the hero of time but doesn’t seem threatened by a rogue troublemaker. This story takes on a whole new twist of the Legend that I created. I do not own any characters, settings, or history in this story. This is just purely a fun fan fiction of the best video game ever. I hope you enjoy!
