Zelda, the governor's daughter, is an aspiring author who can only write in coffee shops. 

Forced by her father to move away from Central, and her beloved coffee shop, she must find a replacement. She finds this in "Hyrule Coffee," owned by a kind young man her own age. 

When he proposes a deal to her, how will it change both of their lives? 

Story is the fluffiest I've ever written, but it also has much deeper subjects. It changes drastically near the end.

How To Be a Prince by Zelink2408

A story which both Zelda fans and people who don't even know what Nintendo is can enjoy. It's a princess's dream to be swooped away by her knight in shining armour, but for Zelda, this knight has to be a prince as well, in order to follow the King's rules. Link and Zelda's love is put at stake when trust and loyalty are tested. Can the two break through the laws to pursue their love, or will they give in and follow the path chosen for them? Nintendo own the characters of Link and Zelda, as well as the location of Hyrule and Hateno Village, but the rest of the character are all my own, as well as... the other location. You'll just have to read to find out what that is. Front cover art by Holly Fig Twitter: https://twitter.com/HollyFig/status/942563336087990272

Authors Note: Hello! This is my first ever story and I was really bored one day so I decided to just start typing! I did not plan for this story to go for this long but since so many have been reading it and loving it I have been adding in extra chapters! Thank you for checking it out and I hope you enjoy :) P.S. Yes, this is a Zelink type of story but there is NO 18+ scenes between the two, I kept the romance light, HOWEVER there are slight mentions of violence and blood! Just a small warning if those topics make you uncomfortable :) #2 in Zelda #4 in botw Thank you all so much for your love and support!! *I do not own any characters used in this story!

Notes (zelinktines 2025) by zelink_for_life

A collection of short (and I mean SHORT) oneshots for zelinktines 2025! I just had to join this super sweet, prompt-based event that started on Tumblr. The goal is to write something for each prompt! I've probably skipped a few. All these are SFW (might have suggestive themes but nothing worse). Enjoy! Cover art by Bangju on Lofter!
