In this fantasy AU, Zelda is an alchemist hunter. She finds and harvests magical ingredients. (Think... catching a frog in botw, and her fascination with ingredients and their effects.) She also has light magic.

Link is a new apprentice to a witch in a nearby village. (He's sort of a mix of Twilight Princess Link, and my own blend of Wild.) 

First person PoV, Zelda's perspective. 

Fantasy/Magic Zelink AU, set in my original world. So I can sorta still feel like I'm working on my originals but still getting that sweet zelink I miss writing. 

Of freaking course it's a romance! I so so miss writing zelink fluff, and I'm so excited to write about them kissing again. There is never enough. Goodness, I'm also pretty hyped about drawing this AU. If I can. Art is hard.

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. [This story is set in a fusion of Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, with a couple tweaks and some familiar faces'n'places from older games joining along the way!] Thank you for the #1 spot in the Zelda tag! 💗 And thank you for #1 in PrincessZelda, Zelink and BreathoftheWild tags!! I'm so floored! All art courtesy of Hiyukee on Bluesky/Instagram!

Cinderella, but it's Breath of the Wild by HeyThereImACookie

Left an orphan at a young age, Zelda lives in a beautiful chateau with her cruel stepmother and two stepsisters. Yet, despite being surrounded by wealth, she works as a servant in her own home. Being closed off from the world, Zelda is an avid dreamer, and escapes into her thoughts whenever she can, projecting those ambitions onto the beautiful dresses and gowns she makes. One day, a letter from the palace arrives, telling of a ball that is to take place at the royal palace in celebration of Prince Link's birthday. Little does the young girl know how with this, her life will be changed forever. This is a Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild rendition of the Cinderella fairytale.

A modern AU of Botw! Link just moved in, hoping no one knows him... but he's wrong. He is a popular Sports player.

(This is my 2nd book i have if you like it then check out my other one called Fighting Alone! I DO NOT OWN THE ZELDA GAMES THOSE ARE NINTENDO'S!!! Thank you Nintendo for making such fun games! None of the art is mine unless i say other wise! Idk who the artist is but i love there work!

The Silent Princess by Zelink2408

Zelda and Link have finally reunited after the Calamity, and there's a lot to do to restore Hyrlue to its former glory. On their adventures together, Link and Zelda get closer than they ever were before. Could this finally be the Zelink we've all been waiting for? So we all want Zelink to happen, don't we, so I made this short story just as a substitute until it really happens (probably never). I hope you guys enjoy this and let me know if you want me to continue. Btw I don't own any of the characters (obviously) or any of the pictures (I. Wish I did though)

I Wish; Zelink, Modern (The Legend Of Zelda) by Inastaria

Every summer Zelda is forced to go to her family's vacation home in the mountains, leaving her only friend behind. Link has been there for her for years, and she hates leaving him every break. What happens when she gets permission to invite her friend along? I've been getting more and more annoyed, so I'll say it here in the descriptions. Please don't swear in my comment section. If you do, I'll delete it. Hate speech, swearing, and inappropriate comments will all be deleted. The Legend of Zelda belongs to Nintendo, thank you for reading :) The wonderful drawing is by SapphireStone91099 http://sapphirestone91099.deviantart.com/art/Star-gazing-521159235 Last Edited - November 23rd, 2016

The Princess and Her Knight - A Breath of the Wild FanFiction by nightowl2525

Before the Great Calamity, Zelda and Link travel amongst Hyrule together. They must learn to tolerate each other on their journey. Zelda, having barely been able to leave the castle much before him, discovered her sense of adventure when she went out with Link. Is it possible that the two of them harbored a secret admiration for each other than ran deeper than friendship? Or would Link maintain his silence and not speak to the princess at all? This story flashes back from before and after the Great Calamity. What happens after Link defeats Calamity Ganon? This story is very long, but if I do say so myself, I think it's worth it! There will be a sequel. Contains spoilers. I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS OR ANYTHING/MONOLOGUE THAT HAPPENED IN THE GAME, it belongs to Nintendo. Some parts of the story however did not occur in the game. I hope you enjoy! Contains violence and some implications of sex.

The Flirt and the Introvert; Zelink Modern AU (Legend of Zelda) by Inastaria

Zelda and Link meet at school before a test. Link is severely sleep-deprived, and Zelda's friend is out sick. While usually an introvert, Link's tired brain seizes the opportunity to sit next to the girl he's noticed since school began. Completed, but not 'wrapped up' just a cute fluffy ending. The Legend of Zelda characters copyright to Nintendo, the story belongs to me. (Inspiration came from tumblr I think. The whole coffee and monster 'I'm going to die' part, lol) They're not exactly in character, but then again, how many readers really care about that? I'm just having fun writing it, despite being retired. Cover art by me

BOTW: The Lonely Knight by Prince_Aeris

It has been 100 years since the Great Calamity struck the land of Hyrule. After a century of slumber, a young Hylian awakens to find the world in shambles. With nothing but his courage and his name, he takes on the responsibility to put it back on track, and maybe, just maybe, to find his place in the world. A retelling 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.
