3 months after Calamity Ganon's defeat. Link and Zelda now live with each other in Hateno Village. one day Link feels an urge to go back to the now calm but abandoned Hyrule castle. With Zelda  by his side they go to the castle exploring the ruins, where they find mementos of their lives 100 years ago. In a now empty ballroom Link recalls another long lost Memory.

While this is just a oneshot for now, I'll likely expand on it in the future. mainly just  separate stories about Link and Zelda's lives after the events of the game.

Blighted Memories by Bard13

Amnesia was a funny thing. It strips you of all memories, both good and bad. But what it didn't take away from Link was his caring heart. He wasn't a man who had time to deal with or worry about things like memories anyway. All he cared about was doing what was right. But just because Link had no memories, or any interest to reclaim them, didn't mean they wouldn't return to haunt him. Ever since Link woke up, strange things have been happening around the land. Horrific creatures, not quite monster and not quite human, begin appearing at night to terrorize the denizens of Hyrule. Link, not one to simply let such evils do as they please, decides to investigate into the matter as he travels across the land to find a way to destroy these creatures. It should've been just another job for him, just a problem the people needed solved, just another errand for the incarnation of Hylia's hero. But as he investigates, he is haunted by his past. Link's mind cannot remember what happened. But his heart did. He still feels what he lost, what he failed to protect, even after one hundred years. That's what draws something toward Link, the very same evil that created the creatures he faces. It follows and watches him from the shadows, taunting him, waiting for him to remember the past he's forgotten, waiting for the pain to resurface, waiting for the time he can no longer carry the weight of it all. As he journeys on his quest to defeat Ganon and save Princess Zelda, Link must learn to contend with another ancient evil that taints the land, all while facing the ghosts of his forgotten past. But how long can a disgraced hero last in the face of his failures? Cover art designed by @DaybreakVision on Twitter. Some themes may be upsetting to some readers. Viewer discretion advised.

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?

✓Someday by Isla_Graves

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|22

A Shed of Hope by zeldafan100

A Legend of Zelda fan fiction. Princess Zelda is engaged to the Gerudo Prince, Ganondorf, though knows that it will only bring Hyrule to destruction. But do her parents care? No, they think that the union between these two countries will be the best for Hyrule. In an attempt to win Zelda over, Ganondorf gives her a personal servant, a slave, named Link. Link soon learns that he has nothing to fear from Zelda and soon starts falling for her, but little does he know that he'll be thrust into the most crazed adventure of his life, one that has the fate of Hyrule hanging on the balance. Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda. It belongs to Nintendo!

Fortune Favors the Courageous by wowimreallydoingthis

"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!!

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

(Zelink) The Legend of Zelda and the Last Knight by skycloudrain101

A Breath of the Wild Story- Calamity Ganon has been defeated. All is well in Hyrule and it would seem that Link and Zelda's troubles are finally over. However, not all is as it seems. With the Kingdom being left so long without a monarch, will all of Hyrule unite under one banner once again? With new enemies, political turmoil and romantic tension, things are poised to get in the way of the celebrations. Note: all artwork is mine in colored pencil. Thanks

✔Love triangle (Miphlink, Zelink) by Squishy2002

《COMPLETE》 - Note: this series is under ongoing editing - Before the Calamity, there were no troubles to face, no hardships, and no sacrifices that had to made for the sake of Hyrule. Instead, there was love. A blossom of new feelings to emerge and possibly old ones to die. Over time, Zelda starts to have feelings toward Link and tries to deny them, while Mipha already liked Link from the start of childhood. Link being his oblivious self, doesn't realize that the two girls are having feelings toward him. But once he does, how who will he choose? Or will he have to sacrifice his growing love for another in order to save Hyrule?
