For the last eleven months, Link has grown accustomed to the persistent course of adrenaline that has taken shelter within his veins. From the very beginning of this new life, he has felt the weight of duty propel him to every corner of Hyrule. There was never a moment to waste; his princess battled on against an ever-growing evil that threatened to tear apart a world unfamiliar to him now.
But now that the sky no longer threatens to fracture, Link has to learn how to live without a duty. He must learn who he is, and what it means to be alive.

I'm not great at descriptions! This is more or less a post-BOTW Link character study with an eventual Paya romance.

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 Letter -- A Zelink Fanfiction
A Post-Calamity Zelink Fanfiction. After Zelda finds a letter she had somehow missed, she and Link must travel to Zora's Domain and address the problem with the Divine Beast before the Domain is laid to ruin. However, Zelda is tired of Link constantly getting hurt to protect her and no matter how many times she tells him, it does not seem to make a difference. Will they be separated because of his recklessness, or will it bring them closer together? Disclaimer: This story does contain violence and blood.

Lone Arrow in the Quiver
The Calamity has been defeated, Hyrule is safe. It may take a good while but eventually the Kingdom of Hyrule might once return for the first time in a century. Everything is normal, up until something new appeared on the Sheikah Slate. Something that would not only change Link's life but the lives of those who suffered at the hands of the Calamity. Zelda sends Link to investigate what these mysterious new readings mean. His adventure is not over yet... far from it. Inspired by "Romance is in the Air" by @Azadia_the_Rito (please check them out their works are incredible) I've decided to try my hand at making a fanfic with the endgame being my favorite pairing: Link x Revali. I know it may seem odd to spoil but I want people to know what they're getting into. (BTW this is my FIRST time writing one of these so please bear with me) This will not be a purely romance story but it will be a major part later on. I just really wanted to dive into this wonderful world with my own touch, so here's how I'm going to do it. To start Revali is my favorite character in Breath of the Wild and I think all the champions deserve more story and interaction with Link. This will be taking place after Calamity Ganon's defeat so be wary of spoilers. This will be a SLOW burn and when I mean slow I mean like halfway between a snail and a glacier. Not crazy slow but just enough to make it worth the payoff. I'll say that right now no matter what happens there will be a happy ending because I can't bring myself to write a sad one. Not that it won't get sad along the way, oh no I'm going to take hearts and mince them into a fine chopped stew of emotion. I promise however I will preface anything I feel worth warning about in the beginning of each chapter in authors notes. No matter what happens I just want y'all to know that as long as one person smiles, all the work is worth it to me. Hope you enjoy! :)Complete
Force of the Wild
Zelda was everything a royal should be: poised, articulate, and trained to wear the weight of a kingdom with grace. But beneath the crown and courtly smiles, she carried a secret frustration. Despite years of effort, she still couldn't access the sacred light magic buried within her. And without it, she had no way to stop the destruction looming over her people. Link was a quiet guardian, always just out of reach, his presence steady but unreadable. Legends named him the chosen hero, the one destined to save Hyrule from a rising darkness. But legends said nothing of navigating a tense partnership with a defiant princess who had yet to awaken the power she was born to wield. As the threat of Calamity grows, the two must learn to trust not only each other but themselves. Because if they can't... the kingdom they're meant to protect may be lost forever. **This is a work of fanfiction based on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. All rights belong to Nintendo.

The Queen's Hand
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!)Complete
BOTW: The Lonely Knight
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.

✔Love triangle (Miphlink, Zelink)
《COMPLETE》 - Note: this series is under ongoing editing - Before the Calamity, there were no troubles to face, no hardships, and no sacrifices that had to made for the sake of Hyrule. Instead, there was love. A blossom of new feelings to emerge and possibly old ones to die. Over time, Zelda starts to have feelings toward Link and tries to deny them, while Mipha already liked Link from the start of childhood. Link being his oblivious self, doesn't realize that the two girls are having feelings toward him. But once he does, how who will he choose? Or will he have to sacrifice his growing love for another in order to save Hyrule?
