In her free time, she likes to read and spend time with her best friends, Impa and Purah. She doesn't have that many friends, but who knows, maybe she'll find some new ones, and maybe someone who's more than a friend. ;) But enough explaining, Let's Dive Into The Story!!

The Princess and Her Knight - A Breath of the Wild FanFiction
Before the Great Calamity, Zelda and Link travel amongst Hyrule together. They must learn to tolerate each other on their journey. Zelda, having barely been able to leave the castle much before him, discovered her sense of adventure when she went out with Link. Is it possible that the two of them harbored a secret admiration for each other than ran deeper than friendship? Or would Link maintain his silence and not speak to the princess at all? This story flashes back from before and after the Great Calamity. What happens after Link defeats Calamity Ganon? This story is very long, but if I do say so myself, I think it's worth it! There will be a sequel. Contains spoilers. I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS OR ANYTHING/MONOLOGUE THAT HAPPENED IN THE GAME, it belongs to Nintendo. Some parts of the story however did not occur in the game. I hope you enjoy! Contains violence and some implications of sex.

The Wilted Flower | Zelink BoTW AU [COMPLETE]
Soon, seventeen-year old Zelda will be forced to marry if she cannot make her decision on her own. She must follow the Royal Law, one which her father strictly enforces. She must chose one suitor to take over the kingdom and rule alongside her. 1. The suitor must come from a royal bloodline. 2. The suitor must be an ally of Hyrule. 3. If the royal does not choose his/her suitor in a time span decided by the King or Queen, they must be forced to marry the King or Queen's ideal suitor. Time quickly running out, Zelda realizes she does not want to marry someone that only cares about inheriting the throne. She wishes to marry for happiness. And if she cannot prove herself and her happiness to her father soon enough, she will be forever forced into a life she does not want to live.

She's never fallen in love, or even thought of getting married. So when her Father, King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, said she would be getting married to a prince she had never met... she was not happy. And to make matters worse, her Father has appointed a young man to be her personal knight.

Little Bird | A Legend of Zelda AU of the Wild
[Discontinued] Following the death of her mother, Zelda comes face to face with anxiety and guilt as she sees her father go from happy and warm, to cold and furious. Although it wasn't her fault, the anger was always taken out on her, to the point that parent and child no longer had any social interaction. After Zelda is awarded a scholarship when her father becomes principal of a prestigious high school, she is forced to tear off all past relationships to focus on one thing and one thing only. To get principal's daughter worthy grades. Not about the guy with blue earrings and a ponytail that doesn't seem to speak. Or the rumors that are floating around her. Not even the Gerudo guy who's eyes always seem to follow Zelda... '...I'm not supposed to pay attention to those things at all. I'm supposed to focus on my studies. But, oh Hylia what have I gotten myself into!' This is a Modern School AU, enjoy! Cover art not by me, but there will be some art by me in here:) All characters are by Nintendo(unless I throw some OCs in there you never know) and I have no association with the making of The Legend of Zelda(although I would love to do so someday!)

Fortune Favors the Courageous
"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! π And thank you for #1 in PrincessZelda, LinkxZelda, Zelink, Midna and BreathoftheWild tags!!

BOTW: The Lonely Knight
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.

βSomeday
After witnessing Link and Zelda's on and off relationship, Y/N had had enough. Link was always sad, Zelda was sad and confused. Everyone was just, done. Everyone needed a vacation, however, after the Calamity had struck, there was a lot of build and fixing up to do. Y/N is Zelda's younger sister, it was all good and well, until Link and Zelda started dating. One relationships ends, and a new one starts. *** A Linkxreader fic. Yay! Please know that I do not own any of the Legend of Zelda characters. This story takes place after the Calamity happened in Breath of Wild. This is also a year after. And in this story Zelda's father is still alive. Also, I added one of my own kingdoms. Added some of my OC's so I guess not everything is canon. Started: 8|20|21 Ended: 1|14|22Complete
The Silent Princess
Zelda and Link have finally reunited after the Calamity, and there's a lot to do to restore Hyrlue to its former glory. On their adventures together, Link and Zelda get closer than they ever were before. Could this finally be the Zelink we've all been waiting for? So we all want Zelink to happen, don't we, so I made this short story just as a substitute until it really happens (probably never). I hope you guys enjoy this and let me know if you want me to continue. Btw I don't own any of the characters (obviously) or any of the pictures (I. Wish I did though)Complete

Authors Note: Hello! This is my first ever story and I was really bored one day so I decided to just start typing! I did not plan for this story to go for this long but since so many have been reading it and loving it I have been adding in extra chapters! Thank you for checking it out and I hope you enjoy :) P.S. Yes, this is a Zelink type of story but there is NO 18+ scenes between the two, I kept the romance light, HOWEVER there are slight mentions of violence and blood!
