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!)

However, they're too late, and darkness sweeps over the land once again. Link and this magician must now save Hyrule and bring it back to the light by repeating what he had done before; cleanse all the sacred temples and put to rest the spirits of the six sages who guard them. Yet, Link can't help but feel that this magician is familiar to him; and, oddly alluring. But does the legendary hero have time to stop and think on his feelings for this tempting magician? Or will submitting to his feelings cause the land to be soaked in its hero's blood? ~~~~ ~ Watty's 2020 FanFiction winner! ~ Wattpad's Featured FanFic's Ambassadors Pick of 2025 at #1 in Fanfiction Ambassador's "The Ultimate Fanfic Anthology" under the chapter "Ambassadors Picks | January '25"! ~ Featured on Fanfiction Ambassador's "Video Games FF" Reading List 2025! ~ Featured on Fanfiction Ambassador's "LGBTQIAP+" Reading List 2025! *Highest Ranking*: #1 in ghiralink - 2021/01/02 #1 in Ocarina - 2022/01/10 ~~~~ [WARNING] This book is still not immaculately edited.

One day, Link saves a woman from the Yiga clan members, and that woman turns out to be Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda: Rise of a Fallen Hero
This is basically a beta of my newest work, the Seventh Knight Awakens, so you can read that on my Ao3 if you want better quality, storytelling, and less grammatical errors. Last time, the Hero lost. The Hylian Champion, chosen to destroy evil, slain, and a kingdom fallen in darkness' wake. Not two decades later, a young man with strange origins finds his path uncertain, as he learns he is a reincarnation of that same hero. Now, he must be the real hero among all those who have fallen. Set in a version of Hyrule combining all elements from several mainline games. (Several characters and concepts belong to Nintendo). Also available on Ao3Complete
Hello again, Skychild (Fully Updated)
Adventures of a blonde haired Hylian name Link who lives on the edge if the known world. Many centuries of maps have been destroyed through the ages and he is one of the few remaining somewhat mythical Hylians. Link attends a private school with his childhood friend, Hylian Princess Zelda and is frequently bullied because of his tendency to be mute. Then everything changes and he questions his past due to the dreams he has started to have. Though the strangest of all is the councilor. Who will he be? Friend or foe? (I do not own Legend of Zelda nor do I claim to. I do, however, own the plot line and story, so do not copy. This is a Yaoi (boyxboy) fan work so if you do not like Yaoi, do not read.)Complete
Redemption (Link x Reader)
It was an endless cycle where he'd never fall for you. You've been betrayed and disappointment that Link will never accept you for who you are. You are born as half demon of the Dragon-Phoenix. You never hurt a soul in your life. You chose the path of being human no matter the world pulls you down. But this time... Maybe this life will be different. Maybe this time he'll be the one to swear his true love to you forevermore. Or, once again, you'll spend another lifetime crying for a love you'll never be able to set free.Complete
Deepening Shadows
As a humble knight living in the face of a growing shadow on Hyrule, Link struggles to quickly acclimate himself to the expectations placed on his shoulders when the self-proclaimed Twilight Princess recruits him on behalf of her world and that of Hyrule to confront a usurper in another realm. However, once Link crosses the threshold into the home of the Twili, a string of disastrous consequences born of dark power and darker secrets is set in motion, leaving both realms hanging in the balance. **This fic includes prominent elements of Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, and Hyrule Warriors**
Blighted Memories
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: A Hero's Legacy
The legend of the hero, Link, the Goddess reborn, Zelda, and evil reincarnate, Ganon has been ingrained in the history of Hyrule from its very inception. Link, a young boy clad in green, is always destined to vanquish evil and save Hyrule, however, what if Link was betrayed by those he called allies? Before Hyrule prospered, before Skyloft was created, a hero lived in the land of Hylia, and though his deeds earned him legendary status amongst the peoples of Hylia, there were those who resented the hero. Framed for a crime he did not commit, the young man was cast in chains, forever to be locked away. That is, until the traitor's plot was uncovered. However, years had passed as the hero rotted away in a murky cellar. Could he truly forgive the people their sins? Could he accept their offer to save them once more from the encroaching armies of darkness? Could he take on that mantle once more and be the hero he had forged himself as? Or would he leave them to burn...?Complete
