Forgotten Champion is a BOTW AU where Link's body can not be found after being shot by a guardian and is assumed dead. Now, with the Divine Beasts still fighting, Link has to figure out who he was with the help of a local village girl. No one knows he's alive, and being a new recruit, no one remembers him. He is a completely forgotten Champion.



A LITTLE AUTHOR'S NOTE: I really liked Link personality when he talked to NPC's in game, so I wanted to make a story around that (maybe him hanging out with the townies or meeting a nice person and going on a few misadventures). Turns out, this became something huge and way different than what I had in mind, and I really like how it turned out. I think it has the best character development of any of my stories so far.

Chapters will take a bit because I have to do a lot of 'research' and consult my resident BOTW nerd/lore master a lot, since this timeline is pretty confusing and raises a lot of questions and plot-holes I gotta answer/fill, but it's always worth it in the end.

The Silent Princess - A Breath Of The Wild Fanfiction by Ellieaziya
62 parts Complete
Time has passed. Hyrule is getting rebuilt. Zelda on the other hand is not quite sure what to do. She is no longer a princess, She's a queen with responsibilities. A dark force is looming. Old friends are getting rediscovered but that boy. That man. Link. There's an unfinished story with him. This is my take on the universe. There will be new characters that aren't canon. There will be a few POV swaps but let's see if I can make this a cohesive story.
The Legend of Zelda: The Silent Princess by HisPencil
85 parts Complete
We know Link's story throughout all the games, but there are still many missing pieces that only the power of the goddess can bring to us. In the eyes of young Zelda, all will be revealed. The Silent Princess will speak with her wisdom of what she has seen over the span of the 100 years she has been fighting. *credit for characters, music, images, some dialogue, and other things I may use or quote from Nintendo belongs to them, not me. The same goes for any other images and music from different artists. *All I claim rights on is the idea of this and the other parts that solely come from my own imagination and outlook of the story from Breath of the Wild and a few of the other featured games mentioned.
Blood Moon: A Story Before the Calamity by 135795e
56 parts Complete Mature
Spoiler alert for this entire book! If you have not completed the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this story will reveal the entire storyline of this game. Also some parts of the other Zelda games as well. **** Two people, both crippled by grief and both struggling with great expectations. Two people, but seventeen and still older than Hyrule itself. Two people, who will grow to rely on each other, torn apart by the final ruination. The blood moon rises... The shadow of the Calamity rises over the kingdom of Hyrule, rearing its terrible head, tearing apart all that stands in its way. The deadline was hanging over the head of the citizens who depend on the success of a powerless girl and the mettle of a simply talented boy. The full Triforce shall collide once more, and when it does, are they courageous enough to overcome the own demons that haunt them and stand firm against the evil ahead? Hey everyone! There will be quite a lot of angst so if you're not okay with that, then please don't read my book. There will be rather graphic descriptions of war and battles, and self-harm and depression will trigger some of you, but there are no sexual scenes, nor swearing. Some characters will belong to me, but the majority of elements involved in my story belongs to Nintendo. Thank you guys so much and enjoy!
A Breath of You (Link X Reader) by catfishhamsterlady

Dear Journal, Impa told me that writing this after Link passed would help me heal. Heal in what way? I don't want to heal, I don't even want to live. Link was my everything. I haven't seen him in weeks and suddenly he's dead? I should've been a good wife. I should have stayed by his side and fought. I wish it were me. I wish I died instead. He's the hero, he should be alive. I miss him so much. (Y/n) has remained alive for 100 years. One hundred painstaking years. Each year that ticks by, she has no idea why she lives. That is until strange towers rose from the ground and ancient shrines lit up across Hyrule. When (Y/n) returns to Impa to ask, she finds the answer. Her fiancé. Her dead fiancé had come back to life with no memories at all. A Breath of You (Link x Reader) Breath of the Wild! #1 for the tag Breath of the Wild #1 FOR LINK X READER BABY LETS GO!

No Woman Beyond by Nightsangel89
11 parts Complete Mature
"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
Blighted Memories by Bard13
42 parts Complete
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.

"You will aid the hero during his journey in defeating Calamity Ganon." That was the order that was given to you by goddess Hylia. Although the goddess had first planned to have the hero do his journey alone, she took sympathy for him and decided to create him a partner, one that would aid him during the dangerous travels to the Divine Beasts and finally, Calamity Ganon. That was your purpose. 100 years passed since the defeat of the Champions, although one remained. The one you were to help once he awoke from his slumber. Link. // This is a story entirely based on the game BOTW. Although a few changes will be made the overall story line will be game-based. That doesn't mean there won't be cliffhangers and all that juicy stuff. Yes, romance will play a part, but I just overall hope you guys enjoy the story! Be sure to leave feedback so I know how I am doing. Enjoy! // Started: April 1, 2020 Finished: June 15, 2024 Ranks: #1 in botw #1 in zelda #1 in zeldafanficton #1 in breathofthewild #1 in thelegendofzelda
A Champion's Love |Sidon x Reader| by SomberSummerRain
50 parts Complete Mature
You are the Hylian champion, chosen to be so a century ago. Waking up in the Shrine of Resurrection is a shock, but having no memories to go along with that isn't helping. You listen to the stories you're told, though. You need to save Hyrule and the Princess. Those you meet along the way will be of great help to you. And some of these friends you make will do more than just guide you along your journey... much more. TL;DR: There is no Link lol. You a r e Link. But, y'know, a girl. (This story is from my Ao3 but Imma yeet it over here so my account has some content. Just the typical reader insert lmao) Cover art credit: https://twitter.com/CrimChain
Redemption (Link x Reader) by Dragon-Pheonix123
26 parts Ongoing
It was an endless cycle where he'd never fall for you. You've been betrayed and disappointment that Link will never accept you for who you are. You are born as half demon of the Dragon-Phoenix. You never hurt a soul in your life. You chose the path of being human no matter the world pulls you down. But this time... Maybe this life will be different. Maybe this time he'll be the one to swear his true love to you forevermore. Or, once again, you'll spend another lifetime crying for a love you'll never be able to set free.
