The Legend Says I Love You | Zelink
Zelda doesn't believe in soulmates; Zelda barely even believes in herself. That is, until Link turns up with a sword strapped to his back, heralding the end of times. Now, they must work together to prevent the fall of Hyrule and rise of Calamity Ganon. But, the task proves as tricky as expected, especially when Zelda feels like she's falling faster than her Kingdom...and perhaps in a way she never expected to.

The Silent Princess - A Breath Of The Wild Fanfiction
Time has passed. Hyrule is getting rebuilt. Zelda on the other hand is not quite sure what to do. She is no longer a princess, She's a queen with responsibilities. A dark force is looming. Old friends are getting rediscovered but that boy. That man. Link. There's an unfinished story with him. This is my take on the universe. There will be new characters that aren't canon. There will be a few POV swaps but let's see if I can make this a cohesive story.Complete

What it Means to be a Hero
The night burned with fire and screams. Zelda stood amidst the chaos, her voice trembling between command and prayer. Then-through the smoke-a figure emerged. Cloaked in black, his blade shone with the light of the dying moon. Each strike carried purpose, fury, and something deeper she couldn't name. He was no knight of Hyrule, yet he fought as though its fate were his own. When the flames dimmed, and the silence fell heavy as ash, Zelda caught a glimpse of his eyes-bright, haunted, and unbearably familiar. And for the first time, she wondered if the kingdom's salvation... had been walking in shadow all along. - *I have a couple original characters, but all other characters belong to Nintendo.

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. All rights to Nintendo. *The pictures before each chapter are screen shots from Tears of the Kingdom.Complete
