"This is but one of the legends of which the people speak...
Long ago, there existed a kingdom where a golden power lay hidden. It was a prosperous land blessed with green forests, tall mountains, and peace.
But one day, a man of great evil found the golden power and took it for himself. With its strength at his command, he spread darkness across the kingdom. But then, when all hope had died, and the hour of doom seemed at hand a young boy clothed in green appeared as if from nowhere. Wielding the blade of evil's bane, he sealed the dark one away and gave the land light."
In a land of myth and legend, deep in a forbidden forest lives a village where young Annabella resides as an outcast - shunned for not receiving the traditional gift of their patron deity. There is no world outside of the thick forest, at least to her. But darkness is creeping into the land of Hyrule as a vicious tyrant threatens to take the throne by force - so power hungry that he believes he could challenge even the Gods.
Anna is soon thrust into a desperate plot to save a land she hadn't even known had existed. With the help of a fairy guardian and the guidance of a young princess, ten year old Anna is sent to save the world from the darkness. If she dies, Hyrule dies with her - and not even the Gods can protect her from what lies ahead.
*I own Annabella and a select few other characters, nothing else! This is an OoT Novelization.*

The Legend of Zelda: Blood and Spirit
The surface was supposed to be safe again with Demise defeated, however, its anything but. In the shadows of the uninhabited land lurk rebel Sheikah, who call themselves the Dark Interlopers, who plot against Hylia's human reincarnation, Zelda, and her loyal hero, Link, in secret, building up power to take them both down. Around the same time, Link and Zelda come across a land parallel to the surface, a strange country called Termina, protected by the goddess Terminus. Terminus begs them to help her subdue the mighty Fierce Deity, who was once the goddess's hero before he was corrupted by the demon Majora. Link fights the Deity and defeats him, but he is wounded in the battle and filled with the demon's corruption himself. As he and Zelda return to their own land, the hero slowly starts losing himself mentally and physically, ultimately putting Zelda's life in danger as he tries to fight against something he cannot control. To make matters worse, the Dark Interlopers soon launch a massive attack against the two of them, capturing Zelda and leaving Link for dead. He is found and saved by the mysterious Sheik, the leader of the Sheikah who are still loyal to Hylia. With both the surface and the sky in great danger, the hero must fight to save them and the goddess once more, all while fighting the corruption that he is falling ever deeper into.

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
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.

Back in Her Hands (NOT MINE)
[Original Description] Link has finally returned to Hyrule after being forced by the Hyrule goddesses to sit aside for seven years so that time itself can continue to flow smoothly. And naturally everyone is excited over the return of the Hero of Time, especially Princess Zelda. When Link tells Zelda of his journeys through other lands, one of those tales becomes all too real for the princess. What is it? Only one way to find out! To reiterate, this story isn't mine. It was written by someone going by the name "Grey" on VGGTS World all the way back in 2005 while the site was still active. While I don't possess ownership of this work and all credit goes to the original creator, I decided to upload it here because I wanted more people to read it, as i don't think too many people did untill now, which is a shame because I personally found it pretty good. If there's a need for this to be taken down, feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to comply.Complete
Kings (Ganlink)
-plus comic vers- one night, Link (Oc) closed the store he worked at when he was interrupted by a mysterious client. His long luscious red hair, his soft expression and a helping hand made him fall on more than the floor. His heart racing, he watched him walk away. Will he see that man ever again? (Part one) >>>>COMIC VERSION AT THE END<<<< As the group thought their adventure was finished, one heard a voice calling for thir help across time. At their awakening, they were scattered among different eras. Ganlink, Sidlink (Part two) The two parts are same story and characters (continuity) I just separate it for people more interested in one of the two. This is a Zelda fanfiction I started writing that puts a Link oc of mine in love with young ocarina of time's Ganondorf. (Link is 19 and Gan is 22) I post short updates, but I do so very often! ~~~ I don't mark it as mature, but know that subjects can go into it, but nothing too deep. The story is technically done, but I am doing a comic adaptation of it that I put here. It's on tumblr : Dearchose Good reading! ^^
The Legend of Zelda: The Dark Agenda
Far in the future, Link and Ganondorf battle in broken world, a fusion of the 'child' and 'adult' timelines. Hyrule is ravaged and all inhabitants, even Ganon's minions, have abandoned their homes due to fear of Link and Ganon's conflict. A Demigod takes advantage of their weakened states and places power inhibitors on their necks, forcing Link and Ganon to work together. This is an old fanfic from 2014. Keep in mind that this is not written as a thoroughly as novel, so this story does not have detailed descriptions of environments or senses. This is written as a plot synopsis/script for a video game premise. I have written this plot in such a way that it can easily fit into the far future of any Zelda timeline. (I should mention that I do have a copyright on this plot, not all of the characters. Because the plot I have written can fit into any JRPG video game, I acquired a copyright by swapping out all of Zelda's characters, places and terms with other names. However, the Demigod (his personality and goals) is my creation as well (ergo, also under the copyright) since he is a character that is from one of my novels. I know that my plot would essentially be a Zelda rip-off as it is, so I would not sell it on that basis. I have a copyright on the plot just in case, so no one can just randomly try to steal it without giving me proper compensation.)Complete
The Silent Princess
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)Complete
