The Vow (Link + Zelda BOTW Romantic FanFiction)

At just eighteen, Link, a young Knight-in-Training, faces a dark choice: He can step into his God-given destiny as a Royal Knight and be forever bound to his work; or he can betray his training, and his King, and make his suit for the Princess known.

But when a threat from the Gerudo tribe forces Zelda to pursue the unleashing of her power, Link finds himself suddenly thrust into the royal spotlight, chosen by the King himself as Zelda's Appointed Knight.

Link is left reeling, elated that he will be by Zelda's side every moment, eager to protect her. Yet, as her appointed Knight and the only man allowed into the Princess's bedchamber unchaperoned, he will be magically bound never to touch her, except in defense of her life or well-being.

To truly serve his beloved Princess, Link must abandon every hope that he could ever prove himself worthy of her hand.

Thrown together on a torturous journey to unlock Zelda's power, Link and Zelda clash as their tender hearts are tested by impossible odds. Distracted by Zelda's unease, the looming political threat, and his own tearing heart, Link doesn't see the dark clouds brewing over the castle.

Only Link has the courage to save Zelda from the darkness that threatens. But will his love blind him to the danger until it's too late? Or will he fail, driven away by his own longing before he even knows the danger exists?

Heedless of his battle, the shadow of an ancient magic rises . . . with Zelda fixed firmly in its single, glowing eye.
