"'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.

Zelderella: The Glass Princess by Dragongirliewrites56
6 parts Ongoing
This is a fairytale AU retelling of Cinderella with Zelink! Yes this is Dual POV I switch between Link and Zelda :) Zelda is a girl who had lost her mother at a young age. Her life was flipped upside down by not only her mother's death but with her father remarrying a woman named Morissa. Zelda didn't realize how awful her new stepmother would be. She became a servant to her and her new stepsisters as she was forced to complete every task handed to her without complaint. But something doesn't feel right to Zelda, there is something going on that she can't quite figure out. Link is a prince who has been reminded by his father, the King of Hyrule, to find a wife before his nineteenth birthday. Link is having none of that. He really didn't understand why he had to get married so soon, he wanted time to find someone he loved not someone he had to pretend to love. He sneaks out of the castle every now and then, not completely unattended. Sometimes his appointed knight Sheik catches him in the act and follows him. Will Link find what he's looking for? I don't own Zelda, Link, or any Nintendo characters! I only own OC's that I make up! This is strictly for fun and because I want to write it!

"I started to live the day I met your eyes." My life had always been planned out. Being the top of class, getting an economics' degree in Hyrule's University before I coud become Bosphoramus Industries' next CEO, following Father's path. All of this because I was Zelda Bosphoramus, the heir of an empire. But I met you. I met your blue eyes. Those blue eyes I immediately fell for. You were a prodigious fencer, the youngest to win a medal during the Olympic Games. The Hylian Champion. You, Link Farore. The boy that changed my life for ever. Nintendo own the characters.

"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! 💗 And thank you for #1 in PrincessZelda, LinkxZelda, Zelink, Midna and BreathoftheWild tags!! I'm so floored! All art courtesy of Hiyukee on Bluesky/Instagram!

A Linked Universe Reader Insert Fanfiction. This day was not going as you had planned. It probably was not going as planned for these travellers you had started to follow around either, because there was no way you would stay somewhere full to the brim with monsters alone and unprotected - dream or no dream. And well, some company is better than none. Even when they only communicate in "Hya"s. Or: A modern day person unexpectedly finds themselves thrown into Hyrule, where they run into the Links. _________________________________________ 28.2.2020 - 28.2.2024 Part one is now finished. The sequels are getting planned. Thank you for everyone who read and enjoyed this tale whether on AO3, Wattpad or Fanfiction.net.

How To Be a Prince by Zelink2408
46 parts Complete
A story which both Zelda fans and people who don't even know what Nintendo is can enjoy. It's a princess's dream to be swooped away by her knight in shining armour, but for Zelda, this knight has to be a prince as well, in order to follow the King's rules. Link and Zelda's love is put at stake when trust and loyalty are tested. Can the two break through the laws to pursue their love, or will they give in and follow the path chosen for them? Nintendo own the characters of Link and Zelda, as well as the location of Hyrule and Hateno Village, but the rest of the character are all my own, as well as... the other location. You'll just have to read to find out what that is. Front cover art by Holly Fig Twitter: https://twitter.com/HollyFig/status/942563336087990272
Who We Are; Zelink, Modern (The Legend Of Zelda) by Inastaria
44 parts Complete
((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. Thanks for reading~ Story started on 11/26/15 Story finished in 1/3/16 Story editing started 3/31/17 Story editing given up 12/8/18 Grammar editing finished 3/10/20
Soul Dancing (TP! Link x Reader) by BadTendenciess
17 parts Ongoing
REWRITTEN ⚠️WARNING⚠️ Possible Content: Abuse Smut Blood & Injury Sexual Assault Traumatic Events Please do not read for the sole purpose of smut. If that's all you're interested in, let me refer you to my book of lemons revolving around Link. Check my profile for it! (Currently drafted) For the sake of sanctity, you and most characters including Link will be 18+ present time. ▲ ▲ ▲ I always felt such a bond with him, one that ran deep like the temple of Lake Hylia, or so I've heard. Among the rest he was the only human I'd ever felt close to. But there was a problem. That bond only ran so deep as it hit steel within Link's soul, that of which never once had truly allowed passage of my being. I've always felt that perhaps our fondness of one another was barely mutual, but it became apparent to me the moment I felt his soul falter and stop dancing with mine. I thought I was his best friend. What was the reason? ▲ ▲ ▲ The soul is the only thing the hero carries along his reincarnations, bound to Hyrule's aid by the goddess Hylia. ▲ ▲ ▲ ⚠️ A slow burn romance. You're in for a weird ride. Also, story may not be for you if you personally do not like large Y/N character development. (Story is in the making, expect possible changes of story) Disclaimer: I do not own you or any of the characters accounted for. You belong to yourself of course, and the rest of TP's characters to Nintendo. Very few OC's will be present for plot development.
