***A Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Fanfiction (With some Ocarina of Time)***

When Midna broke the mirror, she did not think of the problems it would cause. 

She became stuck in time and space, because the portal broke before she completed her travel to the Twilight Realm. 

When she wakes up in Hyrule Field, she has no idea of who she is. She finds her way to castle town, where her vague memories seem to point her. It is there that she finds a blond-haired knight who takes an interest in her.....and he wants to help her remember who she was before. 

Unlocking Midna's memories comes with a price, though. The Hero of Time must embark on one last journey...to find the one he loves. 

Rated PG because of a few words and hinted relations.

Highest Rating: #2 herooftime

***I do not own the Legend of Zelda, and I do not own the fanart used for the cover.***

Blighted Memories by Bard13
42 parts Complete
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.

Link being sent back in time didn't save Hyrule. Ganondorf is still refusing to give up his attempts to take over Hyrule and Link is tasked with finding a powerful magician to stop Ganondorf's advances. 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.

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.
