--- Sequel to Hero by Heart ---

Link and Zelda have started restoration of Hyrule, and are well on their way to establishing a peaceful, prosperous rule. But what neither of them expected was to uncover secrets that might have been better left hidden. 
After everything they have been through, it seems like they still can't catch a break, and danger is ever close, lurking around every corner.


**Disclaimer: I started this story after the first trailer for TotK, so this is loosely based on those events, but will tell a very different story. There might be a few coincidental similarities, but this story is purely based on my imagination.

"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 and #2 in Zelink!

An ongoing book that thoroughly explores the lives of Link and Zelda after the events of TotK. Picking up immediately following the events of TotK, the story begins with Link and Zelda trying to find their places in a new Hyrule, one vastly different than 100 years before the Calamity. Flashing back to fill in gaps between BotW and TotK, one will see how Link and Zelda, bound to their past duties, try to restore Hyrule to its former glory. But struggles arise: Is Zelda still worthy of being the princess of Hyrule and claiming its throne? With peace reigning throughout the land, what is a duty bound appointed knight, who has known only combat and protecting the princess, most of his life, to do when there is no evil left in the land? Is it time to move on from past duties and claim a simple life for each of them? Where do they go from here? As time progresses, Link and Zelda have feelings, which have been strong ever since the time before the Calamity, that begin to resurface. Emotions and desires began to come out. Should they control these emotions trying to blossom, and remain bound to their duties, or let them surface and bloom into something greater? Link tries to learn how to relax. But, he gets a feeling something is not right in the land. He struggles to recoup after fighting for so long but remains vigilant should evil ever return. Link struggles from becoming complacent in his new life. Join Link and Zelda on a grand adventure filled with plot twists and detailed imagery of Hyrule after the Calamity and Upheaval. Follow them as they learn more about themselves, develop a bond that leads to love, and change into the people they were destined to become. Through trials to determine their ultimate abilities, they build courage and wisdom, forming the unbreakable spirit required to defeat the ultimate evil. The past is revisited and the present is thoroughly explored, all leading to a possible future of happiness and prosperity.

Written in Blood . {After OoT/MM fic} Hyrule is on the brink of another bloody war when he returns, the hero that had slipped away to be forgotten by the land. No longer a hero, living a life of isolation far away from the land that had made him a legend once. Resentful and broken, Link hides it best he can, trying to focus on the future and forget. But Zelda remembers him, the person he once was. He's so different now, and perhaps she is too. The whole land is, transformed by war as Ganondorf works to seize all that he believes once belonged to him, in a time no longer. Both Link and Zelda find themselves in the middle of this war, forced to fight and strategize and deal with their own inner demons as well as each other, amidst the war the Hylians fight to regain their land and defeat the King of Thieves. > < . DISCLAIMER . While this story is a war story, so it features violence, some gore, and death, it has many lighthearted moments and tons of (attempted) comedy. So enjoy and read at your own risk.
