Under the guise of Sheik, the once-princess Zelda awaits the coming of the hero of legend to free her kingdom from the usurper who stole her birthright. But when she finds him, she discovers the new queen has stolen her likeness: All of Hyrule believes that Princess Zelda grew up to be an evil tyrant, and Link himself is on a quest to slay her. Fearing the worst, the true Zelda hides her identity from the hero. But as the two grow closer, keeping secrets grows harder.

When truths finally come to light, however, it is not only her name that is revealed. An ancient curse is brought into the open, and the very foundation of the realm of Hyrule is shaken. The undying hatred of a god slain long ago must finally be laid to rest, and in the end all must come full circle.

(Draws lore from Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword, but very little prior knowledge of any one game is necessary to understand.)

But Zelda remembers him, the person he once was. He's so different now, and perhaps she is too. The whole land is, transformed by war as Ganondorf works to seize all that he believes once belonged to him, in a time no longer.

The Legend of Zelda: The Fall of Hyrule ✔️ by -KatyWritesStuff-
24 parts Complete
When the three goddesses of the Triforce unintentionally grant the Princess of Hyrule the Triforce of Power, and the evil locked away from the world the Triforce of Wisdom, everything is in chaos as it was before, only it's the princess this time who's causing the trouble. Zelda had been power hungry for years. Years before the mark of the Triforce of Power appeared on the back of her hand, she'd always thrown fits if something didn't go her way. Now, at only seventeen and fully gifted with the Triforce of Power, she made sure things went her way, and her way only. Ganondorf had escaped the Sacred Realm somehow, and returns to the Gerudo Village in peace. Accidentally blessed with the Triforce of Wisdom, he acknowledges the Gerudo's hard work and thrives to make his village a better place for everyone. Link, still possessing the Triforce of Courage, has been assigned to be Zelda's personal bodyguard and do something horribly wrong to please her majesty, which he does not partake in ever doing. Fate brings Link and Ganondorf face to face. Somehow, Link and Ganondorf team up and secretly plot against the princess to stop her vile plans to make Hyrule miserable. After all, it was Courage and Wisdom who saved Hyrule all those times before, right? •• [Post OoT; Before the events of TP] The Legend of Zelda belongs to Nintendo.

Path of Shadow: a Sheik Origin Story by rinrin4thewinwin
11 parts Complete
This fanfic was fully narrated on YouTube! Check out Rin's Legendarium to listen :) In the seven years since Ganondorf's successful coup of Ocarina of Time's Hyrule and its Royal Family, much is unknown of Zelda's whereabouts and her transformation into Sheik, the shadowy persona she uses to hide from the King of Evil. While Link sleeps in the Sacred Realm, Hyrule burns, its residents scatter, and a new reign is anchored. Just as Link had been too young to wrest his destiny and save Hyrule, Zelda, too, needs time. Time to grow, time to process her self-perceived failures as a princess, and time to grieve. But in that time, how does she evolve herself into the mysterious Sheikah warrior that Link will come to know and trust when he awakens? What trials does she overcome, what people does she encounter along the way, and what lessons is she forced to learn? Zelda's journey in Path of Shadow is a tale untold and lost to time. Just how much can happen in seven years? Follow her story to uncover the long unanswered questions that have plagued the minds of many for decades.
Dark Side of the World {A Legend of Zelda Retell} (Completed) by TheBoomStick
27 parts Complete
Link: a rogue troublemaker who steals from village people, flirts with all the women, and tortures the people of Hyrule. Living life the way he wants it, no rules, and not a care in the world. Zelda: a woman who gets tangled with the wrong people and doesn’t know that she was kidnapped as a child and is really the true ruler of Hyrule. She has a split personality where she thinks she’s Sheik, a worrier who fights for good. Ganondorf: the ruler of Hyrule who killed the king for his throne. He knows about Zelda being the real ruler but has kept that a secret this entire time. He also knows that Link is suppose to be the hero of time but doesn’t seem threatened by a rogue troublemaker. This story takes on a whole new twist of the Legend that I created. I do not own any characters, settings, or history in this story. This is just purely a fun fan fiction of the best video game ever. I hope you enjoy!

What if Link was on the verge of death? Goddess Hylia opened up a portal when the hylian hero Link was close to dying at the hands of Calamity Ganon, who has a way to stop the reincarnations. What if something went wrong? What if the triforces were mixed up? Ganondorf gets courage, Link becomes wise, Zelda becomes evil. Can the castle astronomer, Y/N, fix all this before it's too late? "Oh, Y/N!" Zelda cried "What do I do? I need to have Wisdom- not power!" Zelda flopped down on the stone steps. Y/N pats her friend's back "Maybe it's a mistake..?" "Hylia makes no mistakes!" Zelda bursts out. "Who could've ended up with Wisdom...?" Zelda muses. Y/N taps the princess lightly and points to Link, who is whistling quietly in the corner. "Remember when he fixed the guardian?" Y/N whispers, Zelda looks at her in horror. Disclaimer: I do not own nintendo or you! I only own the new characters and events in this book! I made the cover but not the cover art!

Meanwhile, in the midst of rifts between the Gerudo and the Hylians, the King of the Gerudo has travelled to Hyrule Castle Town to make peace, and pledge allegiance to the King of Hyrule. Zelda, the young princess of Hyrule and heiress to the throne, does not trust the Gerudo King, but the words from the child's mouth fall against deaf ears. The Royal Family guards ancient secrets of the goddesses, but Zelda knows something more about the fate of Hyrule.
How A Princess Fights. by BlackRoseSith
62 parts Complete Mature
When Zelda is forced to marry a tyrant that would bring her country to ruin, she lashes out at her new husband. The new King plots against her so he can have the kingdom and the Triforce for himself but Zelda has many friends in Hyrule. She must leave Hyrule Castle, her home, with no one but a knight at her side. She leaves with a promise, a promise to return some day, an army at her side and retake her kingdom, liberating her subjects from the King's tyranny. This is a Zelink story but I doubt it will be as good as my first Zelink story, 'A Princess Problem' but let's give it a try. I love feedback so comment on anything and everything, and correct me if you think I'm wrong. Be warned, there maybe smut but it is minimal. #1 Zelink OH MY HYLIA! THANKS!

The surface was supposed to be safe again with Demise defeated, however, its anything but. In the shadows of the uninhabited land lurk rebel Sheikah, who call themselves the Dark Interlopers, who plot against Hylia's human reincarnation, Zelda, and her loyal hero, Link, in secret, building up power to take them both down. Around the same time, Link and Zelda come across a land parallel to the surface, a strange country called Termina, protected by the goddess Terminus. Terminus begs them to help her subdue the mighty Fierce Deity, who was once the goddess's hero before he was corrupted by the demon Majora. Link fights the Deity and defeats him, but he is wounded in the battle and filled with the demon's corruption himself. As he and Zelda return to their own land, the hero slowly starts losing himself mentally and physically, ultimately putting Zelda's life in danger as he tries to fight against something he cannot control. To make matters worse, the Dark Interlopers soon launch a massive attack against the two of them, capturing Zelda and leaving Link for dead. He is found and saved by the mysterious Sheik, the leader of the Sheikah who are still loyal to Hylia. With both the surface and the sky in great danger, the hero must fight to save them and the goddess once more, all while fighting the corruption that he is falling ever deeper into. Post Skyward Sword. references Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess. Rated T for violence, blood, and other things. Involves HUGE amounts of ZeLink shipping. Book 1 of the Bound Destinies Trilogy.

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?

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...?
