Long ago, two races ruled over Earth: humans and monsters. One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell.
However, the humans later discovered that not all of the monsters were trapped underground, but many still roamed on the surface. These monsters no longer knew how to peacefully coexist with humans, and instead, they brainlessly and indiscriminately killed humans.
An evil sorcerer arose, taking control of the monsters with dark magic. He desired to gain the legendary Triforce and use its power to take over the world. As a result, war once again broke out between monsters and humans, and the humans were less prepared to face this new threat...
Luckily, a hero appeared, with the mark of the Triforce of Courage on his left hand. Using its power, the hero defeated the evil sorcerer and all of his minions, returning peace to the land.
Many years later...
MT. Ebott
201X.
The hero hears of a legend that says that those who climb the mountain never return. Deciding to investigate this legend, he climbs Mt. Ebott and discovers a world buried deep beneath the surface, a world beyond anything he could ever imagine...
For those who desire to read this story, I recommend that you have adequate knowledge of The Legend of Zelda, especially Twilight Princess. Knowledge of Undertale is also recommended, but hopefully it won't be necessary. Also, for anyone wondering, the Link in this story is Twilight Princess Link (hmm, I wonder which game is my favorite, haha)
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!
