Have you ever wondered what a modern Legend of Zelda game would be like? Well it would certainly not be like this because this is an alternate universe (which I created), but that is how I thought of this. I hope you enjoy!
(P.S.: The alternate universe is basically Hyrule, many, MANY years in the future. Its become like modern countries in our world, except they are still run by a monarchy. I took the characters from past games and remixed them into their new roles in this universe. Some of them are descendants of past characters, while others are completely separate from their name-sakes. I guess you can just assume the Zelda timeline is mostly unchanged, though must of it, by this time, is... Just a Legend haha...)

Link, his two brothers, his sister, and his father have all just moved from their homeland to the neighboring country of Hyrule. Whenever Link is enrolled in high school, he begins to meet an interesting cast of friends. Even more so, he discovers a mysterious birthmark upon his hand..
When a dangerous and poisonous fog with unknown origins appears throughout the country, a stay-at-home order is issued. Strangely, this has quite a lot to do with Link and his new friends...
The Legend of Zelda and its characters are not mine. They belong to Nintendo.
The cover art belongs to me. I used Ibis Paint to draw it :D (but i don't have rights to the ocarina of time- that belongs to Nintendo too)

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
Unforgotten Love | Zelink ✔️
In modern day Hyrule, Link is an orphan who lives in an orphanage. Because he is meant to be the Hero of Hyrule, his bunkmates get jealous and bully him for it. When Link enters first grade, he befriends Zelda, the most beautiful girl in Hyrule, and eventually falls in love with her. The two become inseparable, but everything changes when Zelda hits puberty; she vanishes and doesn't show up at school. Link tries to contact and find her, but no luck. Five years later, Link is a 16-year-old man with severe depression and a Hero chosen by the Master Rifle. He is still in love with Zelda and thinks about her every second of his life. One day, Link saves a woman from the Yiga clan members, and that woman turns out to be Zelda. She tells him about where she has been for the past five years, and once Link finds out the truth, he dedicates his days to helping Zelda feel safe and happy again away from her selfish, rich father Rhoam and her forced fiance, Ganondorf. While Link and Zelda try to save themselves from the abuse, an evil prince from another country declares war on Hyrule in hopes of annexing the kingdom, and Link must go to war, leaving Zelda. Will he come back alive or die in the war? ***ranked #1 in #Gerudo ***ranked #1 in #linkxzelda Cover drawn by @_yapsharlene.Complete
The Legend of Zelda: The Hero Reborn (Modern Adventure AU)
As Time's Wheel turned, Hyrule's ancient legends of kings, queens, and heroic knights in green slowly faded into myths. In the modern day Hyrule, everything seemed perfect; its economy flourished, its stocks rose like never before, its citizens were happy, and its military was one of the best in the world. That is all until Hyrule's neighboring nation, Gerudia, conducted a large scale invasion of its surrounding countries. Led by the former leader of a terrorist organization known for causing mass genocide and destruction, Ganondorf Dragmire and his nation plan to show the world the true power of a long forgotten magical element. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to my next big story! I have some great ideas for this, so I hope you all enjoy. Cover art: made by me!Complete
Written in Blood
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.

Heartless Courage Book One: Kingdom Hearts meets Legend of Zelda
▼△AS OF 28JUN16, THIS BOOK IS OFFICIALLY COMPLETED!▽▲ A being of immeasurable darkness lives his life in isolation, secluded from the world. As a more familiar hero completes his journey through time, it seems as though all will (Unfortunately) become peaceful. Yet peace is but a fleeting fantasy in the land of Hyrule. Good will clash with evil in a story that brings together two of the greatest light bearers ever created. When the unspoken adventures of Link and Sora commence, will they fend off the coming evil? Or will darkness finally retake the world?! ※MAJOR OVERHAUL※ As of 16feb16, This book will be off the shelf for a complete rewrite. I realized that some details and events simply do not contribute to the story, and if anything make it monotone and boring. Stay tuned for the final edit! *Small edit to Chap 2- Escape EDIT * A fan of my story has decided to make me a new cover..frankly that's awesome! This is a crossover of Zelda and Kingdom hearts. To be clear, I am not just half hazardly writing in new info into a set timeline- All events take place in a non specified timeline where anything could have happened. Of course, I do not own any of the Nintendo or PlayStation licensed characters, landscapes, weapons, etc., however the idea of this plot, the secret of Dark Link, and many new characters are my own original idea. I have begun writing this long before the screw attack death battle video was made, and have checked many sources to make sure I have not copied anybody. (To my surprise, nobody else has made anything even close to this idea,{ not the crossover idea mind you the, the Dark Link story} despite how...obvious it is.) Enjoy the story, I hope you guys like it! :DComplete

Fighters | Zelink Dystopia
"Ganondorf Dragmire - the tyrant that usurped the Hyrulean throne from the Lost Royal Family seventeen years ago; the cruel dictator that has had his troops terrorize small villages and drag villagers to his arena, in the outskirts of Hyrule Castle, for roughly ten years; the twisted ruler that's forced his citizens to fight to the death in his arena solely for his entertainment. He's a monster." Zelda Hark is just a regular girl, living in a backwards agricultural village, safe from the clutches of Dragmire - or so she thinks. Before she knows it, her life is turned upside when Dragmire invades her village, captures her, separates her from her parents, and throws her into the jail cells, forcing her to wait for her death in the arena. Along the way, she has to decide which she prefers - green eyes or blue... [[NOW COMPLETE]] 03/11/17 ----- 10/06/17 Zelink Dystopia All rights go to Nintendo, and all rights on the plot go to me.

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
