fanfiction ganondorf gerudo hyrule rauru sages sonia tearsofthekingdom thelegendofzelda totk zelda

The Demon King's ultimate rise to power is an unceremonious and indiscernible one, his history steeped in legend and morbidity. While those with knowledge of his past have a vague interpretation, no one truly knows how Ganondorf came to be the King of Evil, Malice, and Gloom that Hyruleans recognize and fear today. Demise's curse, after all, leaves much to the imagination when it comes to how each affected hero or villain is chosen for the battles ahead. The enigma, Ganondorf, does have a backstory, however. And it is every bit as malicious as one can imagine...

A prequel to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, delving into the founding of Hyrule and Ganondorf's childhood and subsequent rise to power. Every villain has his reasons and The Demon King is no exception...

Promises : A Zelink Story by EmberMan_

(Editing/Rewriting) Set in the time of Twilight Princess. Not in the same Plot. Rated T (Teen) for Strong Language Link and Zelda, miles apart in stature as the Knight and the Princess, but that didn't stop them from falling for each other. But what happens when reality strikes and one fatal mistake splits them, seemingly forever. 7 years later, while Hyrule is at War with the Gerudo, fate unites them again, albeit they aren't the same as they used to be. Are they destined to be apart forever? Read on to find out! Dedicated to @Zelink2408 and some characters taken from their book with permission. Disclaimer : I do not own the Legend of Zelda and its characters but the plot is mine so please don't copy my work and post it elsewhere. I don't own any of the images used in this book including the story cover and the chapter covers.

Totk: Cycles End (ganondorfxlink) by Ashwielder

There is always the hero, the princess, the demonking. The hero always being destined to kill the demonking. That is what the cycle says and how it has always been. But what if the hero were to refuse? What if, instead of fighting evil, he would join it instead? Lured by the only force even stronger then curses, or the gods themselfs. Love. (Please keep in mind that I have not finished Totk yet. So this might include some wrong info on the lore. Have fun)

Blinding Darkness - Zelda X Ganondorf by 135795e

"What if I don't have to be defined by the curse I bear?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It all started by a peace offering. Zelda was tired of watching destruction reign in the land she loved. Tired of reincarnating again and again, tired of fighting, of rebuilding Hyrule just to watch it fall again. So she did what no other Princess of Wisdom had ever done. She gave up war, the time-old struggle over the Triforce. 60 days to forge eternal peace, 60 days to shatter it forever. OKAY PEOPLE. New ship! Honestly I'm not sure where the story is going to go, like I don't even have the full storyline planned out yet, but LETZ GET IT ANYWAYS! This story is not recommended for people under 13 years old.

How A Princess Fights. by BlackRoseSith

When Zelda is forced to marry a tyrant that would bring her country to ruin, she lashes out at her new husband. The new King plots against her so he can have the kingdom and the Triforce for himself but Zelda has many friends in Hyrule. She must leave Hyrule Castle, her home, with no one but a knight at her side. She leaves with a promise, a promise to return some day, an army at her side and retake her kingdom, liberating her subjects from the King's tyranny. This is a Zelink story but I doubt it will be as good as my first Zelink story, 'A Princess Problem' but let's give it a try. I love feedback so comment on anything and everything, and correct me if you think I'm wrong. Be warned, there maybe smut but it is minimal. #1 Zelink OH MY HYLIA! THANKS!
