"A time so far back in the past, it has become legend."

Zelda's travel to the era of Hyrule's founding surely isn't a coincidence, and Rauru and Sonia are keen on helping her to get back to her time. But as time goes on, Zelda becomes increasingly concerned with the rising evil in this time, rather than focusing on returning to her time. She then realizes that there are sacrifices that must be made in order to prevent both times from certain destruction.

Would this mean a happy ending for everybody, finally?

Alone We Fight by SilvermistAnimeLover

"Well, Wild? This is your Hyrule. Have you figured out why we're here?" Time asked. "Yeah." Wild swallowed thickly, forcing bile down his throat. "Well?" Legend raised an impatient eyebrow, and Wild turned away. How was he going to explain this? He'd told them virtually nothing of his journey. How was he supposed to convey how terrible this situation was? That the Blights had been revived. "Come on. We're heading towards Zora's Domain." A gang-meets-Wild fic with an actual plot (I think). Featuring a Wild who's a tad more secretive about his journey. Linked Universe belongs to Jojo, and I'm just a fan. :3 Cover art by Quasar Crew

When Link unwittingly unleashes a horror upon Hyrule, Zelda must protect this foolish prince and help him defeat the impending evil that is lurking in Hyrule. The cover art was posted on the internet by blueskittlesart. I do not own the pictures for the chapters either. Zelda and Link as well a few other characters are owned by Nintendo but the rest of the them are mine! February 21, 2021 - May 4th, 2023 I do not own Nintendo nor do I claim to.

Security. by BlackRoseSith

Modern AU wherein Zelda is the President of Hyrule and Link is head of her security force. *** During a tense year of unrest in Hyrule, Zelda finds herself faced with a problem; a problem in the shape of a renegade group of radicals which have been brainwashed into following Ganon, her political opponent and wannabe replacement. A night like any other turns into a struggle for the fate of Hyrule as Zelda finds herself the epicenter of an attempted murder. Needing to escape her assassins, Zelda must place all her trust in the hands of her Head of Security, Link. With the walls closing in, Zelda must get her hands dirty in order to protect all that she loves. *** If I owned The Legend of Zelda, you would definitely know about it. The characters belong to Nintendo and I do not own the cover art.

A Champion's Love |Sidon x Reader| by SomberSummerRain

You are the Hylian champion, chosen to be so a century ago. Waking up in the Shrine of Resurrection is a shock, but having no memories to go along with that isn't helping. You listen to the stories you're told, though. You need to save Hyrule and the Princess. Those you meet along the way will be of great help to you. And some of these friends you make will do more than just guide you along your journey... much more. TL;DR: There is no Link lol. You a r e Link. But, y'know, a girl. (This story is from my Ao3 but Imma yeet it over here so my account has some content. Just the typical reader insert lmao) Cover art credit: https://twitter.com/CrimChain

Dark Side of the World {A Legend of Zelda Retell} (Completed) by TheBoomStick

Link: a rogue troublemaker who steals from village people, flirts with all the women, and tortures the people of Hyrule. Living life the way he wants it, no rules, and not a care in the world. Zelda: a woman who gets tangled with the wrong people and doesn’t know that she was kidnapped as a child and is really the true ruler of Hyrule. She has a split personality where she thinks she’s Sheik, a worrier who fights for good. Ganondorf: the ruler of Hyrule who killed the king for his throne. He knows about Zelda being the real ruler but has kept that a secret this entire time. He also knows that Link is suppose to be the hero of time but doesn’t seem threatened by a rogue troublemaker. This story takes on a whole new twist of the Legend that I created. I do not own any characters, settings, or history in this story. This is just purely a fun fan fiction of the best video game ever. I hope you enjoy!

Until The Last Breath by ABeautifulBeginning

A lot of work needs to be done to rebuild Hyrule, and to convince others to help will take a lot of work from Link and Zelda. Having all his memories back, Link is plagued with thoughts and memories of the Champions, wishing he could go back in time and save them. He can't focus on the past too much though, because an incredible threat has woken up, and will certainly destroy Hyrule if nothing is done soon. Hyrule needs a hero, and that hero happens to be Link. Takes place after Breath of the Wild. The cover photo isn't mine! All character rights go to Nintendo, but the plot is mineee! You know, minus the whole botw stuff. Credits for the book cover art goes to Taulan-art, to check out the link, here: https://www.deviantart.com/taulan-art/art/A-Champion-s-Team-Print-774711805

Age of Calamity: The Seven Anomalies by JJules95

Age of Calamity - with a particular twist. What happens when Zelda's powers don't just transport the small Guardian to the past to stop the Calamity? Seven ordinary humans: Maria, Julia, Marissa, Ethan, Andrew, John, and Gavin are sucked into their television while playing Age of Calamity. Now in the land of Hyrule 100 years before BOTW happens, they have to mask their identities and join forces with Link and the Hyrule Warriors to stop Ganon's resurrection. However, with a familiar evil prophet lurking through the trees and the Yiga Clan biting their ankles at every turn, do they still have what it takes? Can they defend Hyrule? Give all the characters to their respected owners. I own anything new! Beware, fools, the Eye of the Yiga.

A Kindling, of Sorts (Revali x reader) by ghoshty-ghosht

"At least you have me to keep you company, huh?" you remarked, looking up at the rito cheekily. The flame licked at the bottom of the pot, crackling quietly. Revali only stared at you, feigning annoyance. "Oh, don't give me that look," You scoffed. "You'd be utterly depressed without me out here." Revali finally laughed a little as you nudged him playfully, content with the warmth he found in both you and the fire. • • • • • A cursed traveler stumbles into something bigger than themself, clueless to the incoming threats, but hopeful to make sense of their situation. This, however, comes at the price of aiding in the defeat of an ancient evil, known as Calamity Ganon. Stakes are high and time is short, but why not have a little fun on the side? • • • • • Cover is "Girl with a Burning Torch" by Johann Conrad Seekatz this story was called tardigrade but i changed it get fucked (No beta-reader we just fucking die!!! Gender-neutral pronouns are used to be as inclusive as possible, gay people are allowed) THESE CHARACTERS BELONG TO NINTENDO! Except for a few from me actually yolo

The Hands Of Time | A Breath of The Wild Fanfiction by HeyThereImACookie

Just when Link and Zelda thought all was well in the kingdom of Hyrule, Ganon's evil magic strikes again. It is soon revealed that some of the dark lord's dreaded malice wasn't completely eradicated upon his defeat. The very little that remains seeks to try and rewrite history in Ganon's favor, by going back in time and erasing the existence of the four late champions. Now, it's up to the knight and princess duo to go back in time to try and stop the malice from destroying the kingdom they treasure and the friends they dearly loved.

BOTW: The Lonely Knight by Prince_Aeris

It has been 100 years since the Great Calamity befell the land of Hyrule, leaving the once prosperous kingdom in ruin. After a century of slumber, Link wakes up alone with no memory of who he is. The voice of the long lost Princess Zelda calls to him, telling him to save her kingdom. With nothing but his courage and his name, he takes on the responsibility to put it back on track. But as his memories begin to creep to the surface, he soon finds not all is as simple as he once thought. Will he be able to cut himself off from his feelings to complete his quest? Or will he be swallowed by them, as every new memory unlocks another secret buried in his heart? A novelization of BOTW's story. (A/N: If anyone is confused about the writing style in the first few chapters, I apologize. I wrote this fanfic when I was still very new to writing. I was still using this odd script style before transitioning to a more normal novel writing style. I hope this clears up any confusion.) (Other A/N: None of the artwork here is mine.

The Legend of Zelda: The Hero Reborn (Modern Adventure AU) by sheikahtypebeat

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!
