« Nothing will never do us apart. »

It's been six months since I fell in love for the first time of my life. All of this because of him. 

Him, Link Farore. A talented fencer, ready to do his third Olympic Games in Paris . A twenty years-old reckless man from Hateno with incredible blue eyes, the eyes I fell for, the eyes that made me break all the rules my father obliged me to follow my whole life. 

A man that has nothing in common with me, Zelda Bosphoramus, an eighteen years-old student in Hyrule University who spent her whole life in her books, too scared to face the world. Too scared, because of Father, Rhoam Bosphoramus, the most powerful man of the world, the leader of a kingdom named Bosphoramus' Industries, a kingdom I didn't want to be the heir to. And, maybe I had no choice, but I chose to follow my beloved Mother's one and study archeology and economy at the same time. 

A girl who had dreams, a girl who was scared. A girl chained in a world she didn't belong to. 

A girl who changed thanks to him. 

My Hylian Champion.

"You will aid the hero during his journey in defeating Calamity Ganon." That was the order that was given to you by goddess Hylia. Although the goddess had first planned to have the hero do his journey alone, she took sympathy for him and decided to create him a partner, one that would aid him during the dangerous travels to the Divine Beasts and finally, Calamity Ganon. That was your purpose. 100 years passed since the defeat of the Champions, although one remained. The one you were to help once he awoke from his slumber. Link. // This is a story entirely based on the game BOTW. Although a few changes will be made the overall story line will be game-based.

Destiny of the Kingdom by ChrisJLegend
15 parts Ongoing Mature
An ongoing book that thoroughly explores the lives of Link and Zelda after the events of TotK. Picking up immediately following the events of TotK, the story begins with Link and Zelda trying to find their places in a new Hyrule, one vastly different than 100 years before the Calamity. Flashing back to fill in gaps between BotW and TotK, one will see how Link and Zelda, bound to their past duties, try to restore Hyrule to its former glory. But struggles arise: Is Zelda still worthy of being the princess of Hyrule and claiming its throne? With peace reigning throughout the land, what is a duty bound appointed knight, who has known only combat and protecting the princess, most of his life, to do when there is no evil left in the land? Is it time to move on from past duties and claim a simple life for each of them? Where do they go from here? As time progresses, Link and Zelda have feelings, which have been strong ever since the time before the Calamity, that begin to resurface. Emotions and desires began to come out. Should they control these emotions trying to blossom, and remain bound to their duties, or let them surface and bloom into something greater? Link tries to learn how to relax. But, he gets a feeling something is not right in the land. He struggles to recoup after fighting for so long but remains vigilant should evil ever return. Link struggles from becoming complacent in his new life. Join Link and Zelda on a grand adventure filled with plot twists and detailed imagery of Hyrule after the Calamity and Upheaval. Follow them as they learn more about themselves, develop a bond that leads to love, and change into the people they were destined to become. Through trials to determine their ultimate abilities, they build courage and wisdom, forming the unbreakable spirit required to defeat the ultimate evil. The past is revisited and the present is thoroughly explored, all leading to a possible future of happiness and prosperity.
The courage to find me - The fate of us: Part I by analazarini96
26 parts Complete Mature
"'I... I need you. You make me feel... happy even in this whirlwind of emotions and doubts. You're the only person I've ever trusted with my thoughts. And I love your company... or do you think I always followed you just because I was your bodyguard? In theory, when you ordered me to stay away, I should have obeyed. Why do you think I always ignored those commands? But it wouldn't be fair... to you or to me... to ask for something beyond what we are. Not when I'm barely a complete person. Not when I don't even know who I am outside of this damned sword.' And I hate how much sense he makes. He looks away, and together we watch the sun set along with my dreams." Embark with Link and Zelda on this journey of self-discovery, where they will need to learn who they are besides the saviors of Hyrule. On this journey to find themselves and each other, they will learn about their true origins, the forces of fate, free will, and the works of the gods. The story takes place in the time gap between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
The Legend of Zelda - School of the Wild by zeldaslink7

Zelda Hyrule's life has always been one that is not her own. Zelda has always been the spitting image of what her Father wants her to be. She has never broken a rule. That being, never been out past 9 pm, has never cut a class, and most importantly, has never, ever had a boyfriend. She goes to her private academy like her Father wants, and that's the end of her story. However, her fate takes an unfortunate turn when she accidentally gets herself blamed for something she didn't do and is expelled. Now, with her Father furious with her, she has no choice but to finish out her high school years at a regular public school. She has her eyes set on clearing her name, and no intention of staying in this crappy public school. As if by pure sheer coincidence, or maybe it was fate, she meets Link. Link, the silent superstar of the school, who, in her hour of need, comes to her side with no hesitation. She is undoubtedly drawn to him, yet she needs to stay away. As she progresses day by day, she meets a couple of new friends, and even a few enemies. Will Zelda clear her name? Or will she stay in this public dump for a couple of friends and a silent knight?

No Woman Beyond by Nightsangel89

"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.com

Blood Moon: A Story Before the Calamity by 135795e
56 parts Complete Mature
Spoiler alert for this entire book! If you have not completed the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this story will reveal the entire storyline of this game. Also some parts of the other Zelda games as well. **** Two people, both crippled by grief and both struggling with great expectations. Two people, but seventeen and still older than Hyrule itself. Two people, who will grow to rely on each other, torn apart by the final ruination. The blood moon rises... The shadow of the Calamity rises over the kingdom of Hyrule, rearing its terrible head, tearing apart all that stands in its way. The deadline was hanging over the head of the citizens who depend on the success of a powerless girl and the mettle of a simply talented boy. The full Triforce shall collide once more, and when it does, are they courageous enough to overcome the own demons that haunt them and stand firm against the evil ahead? Hey everyone! There will be quite a lot of angst so if you're not okay with that, then please don't read my book. There will be rather graphic descriptions of war and battles, and self-harm and depression will trigger some of you, but there are no sexual scenes, nor swearing. Some characters will belong to me, but the majority of elements involved in my story belongs to Nintendo. Thank you guys so much and enjoy!

((read whole description to know what you're getting into xD)) There is a secret hiding in the nation of Hyrule. For centuries this land has been a democracy, but few actually know just what is going on behind the scenes. What use are the old tales when no one even believes in magic anymore? Zelda is a girl who lives her life trapped within the walls of her family's mansion. She only leaves to go to school, and there she meets someone who will quite literally change her life forever. ((Please don't swear in my comment section. If you do, I'll delete it. Hate speech, swearing, and inappropriate comments will all be deleted.)) WARNING; This story has only been partially edited and I cringe to high heaven reading it. I don't mind you enjoying it, so I'll leave it up but don't judge my writing by this book. If you can't stand it, like me, please head on over to Raising the Stakes, which I have put much more time and effort into and is a million times better. The Legend of Zelda is (c) to Nintendo.
