    Warning: I do not own Nintendo, The Legend of Zelda, Hazbin Hotel, or Helluva Boss. All rights belong to their respective owners. Y/N lived an ordinary life. No magic. No destiny. No grand adventure. That all changed the night four assassins broke into his home. Outnumbered and wounded, he fought with everything he had. Blood stained the floor as the battle raged, but even after defeating his attackers, fate showed him no mercy. Trapped within the burning remains of his own home, Y/N watched the flames consume everything he had ever known. Death should have been the end. Instead, it was only the beginning. Awakening in the depths of Hell, Y/N expected to become just another sinner among countless souls. But something far stranger awaited him. Reborn in the body of the legendary Demon King, Ganondorf, he now possesses unimaginable power in a world ruled by demons, overlords, angels, and endless chaos. As ancient darkness stirs within him and Hell itself begins to take notice, Y/N must decide what kind of king he will become. A conqueror. A tyrant. Or something far worse. For in a realm where monsters thrive and sinners fight for survival, the Triforce of Sin has found its bearer. And Hell may never be the same again.

    This is part 2 of my fanfic series, so If you haven't read the prequel of this story "Botw Reimagined: The Past", I highly recommend reading it before starting on this if you don't want to get confused. Moving from the past of breath of the wild, we finally get to the game portion of the story. Any feedback is appreciated, as well. (Story) 100 years after the tragedy that was the Great Calamity, Hyrule has finally seemed to have regained its footing. However, the seal on Calamity Ganon seems to be weakening, threatening to break any day now. Fortunately for Hyrule, a hero who has been thought long dead finally returns from a long slumber. That hero is Link. After sleeping for 100 years, Link seems to have lost all of his memories, especially the memories of his failure to protect those that he loved. of course, All rights to any known part of the game go to Nintendo please Nintendo, do not strike me down before I finish this series.

    "And yet... I fell in love with you again. I will in every life, in every universe-I love you." He doesn't remember saying it. He doesn't remember her. When Link awakens in the Shrine of Resurrection, the world greets him as a hero-but he is nothing more than a hollow echo of one. The name, the blade, the destiny... they all belong to someone he cannot recall. Even his own reflection feels like a stranger staring back at him. But there is something else. A feeling. A presence that lingers just beyond his reach-warm, aching, and impossibly familiar. It follows him through quiet forests and ruined fields, curls in his chest when the wind shifts just right, and haunts his dreams with fragments of a voice he cannot place. He knows, without understanding how, that there was someone. Someone he loved. Someone he lost. (Sequel to The Legend of You, but can be read separately)

    For anyone who wishes more about Mipha's and Link's life together, this story is a sequel to "Life in Zora's Domain". Please note that this story is a direct continuation and will make no sense to you if you have not read the prequel and know who the characters are and what has happened to them so far. Cover art is by Lily E. under the name Nurple at the time, and used by permission. This is a work of fan fiction using characters from the world of The Legend of Zelda TM: Breath of the Wild, which is owned and copyrighted by Nintendo. It is work of my imagination and is for entertainment only. It is not part of the official Nintendo storyline. I would like to clarify my approach to managing comments. I welcome all feedback, both positive and negative, as long as it's expressed respectfully. Comments containing offensive language will be removed, as they do not align with the intended tone of my narratives or the expectations of our audience. Constructive criticism and questions about certain choices in the storyline are appreciated and respected. However, I find it tiresome and unproductive when individuals use comments to disparage one plot element after another, chapter by chapter, indicating their fundamental displeasure with many aspects of the story. I hope it's clear these stories are a work of my imagination about hypothetical events in a fictional world. Obviously your vision or interpretation of possible events may differ. To those readers who find so much fault with the stories that they're compelled to deluge us with negative comments, I would politely suggest they move on to stories more to their liking. I have no intention of rewriting mine.

    Mipha's spent her whole life keeping her circle small and her feelings smaller. Randomly assigned to room with Link Alessi - the guy who knows everyone, deflects everything with a smirk, and has already broken her friend Kodah's heart - she plans to keep him at arm's length. But arm's length gets harder to maintain when he's the one catching her glasses before they hit the floor, holding her during a storm, and showing affection no one has ever shown her. Everyone warns her he isn't being real and that being the center of his attention doesn't mean being the exception. Mipha has no frame of reference to know the difference. She's about to find out the hard way whether she's the one thing that's real to him, or just the next one. (a college AU of tloz botw, very modern so don't expect much real fighting haha) (cover is also very much ai) (experimental book, so have fun reading <3)

    Las leyendas dicen que los héroes aparecen cuando el mundo más los necesita. Nadie habla del precio que deben pagar. Durante siglos, la paz ha cubierto con un velo de silencio los ecos de un pasado que jamás debió caer en el olvido. Los nombres se desvanecen, las verdades se convierten en cuentos y las antiguas promesas terminan sepultadas bajo el peso del tiempo. Pero el tiempo nunca olvida. Porque hay historias que no terminan cuando se escribe su último capítulo. Solo esperan. Pacientes. Inmutables. Ocultas entre las sombras, aguardando el instante en que el destino vuelva a llamarlas. Y cuando ese día llegue... Algunas puertas nunca debieron volver a abrirse.

    SEQUEL TO "MY WATER" A year after the war, Mipha has finally found something like steady ground - helping run the Domain, settled into her place as her father's heir, settled into life with Link. Then something happens that tears the two of them apart, cleanly and completely, with Mipha the one forced to say it to his face and mean it. What was easy between them is gone, replaced by a silence neither of them knows how to cross. And there's no time to sit in it. The Upheaval has begun - old seals cracking, Ganon's presence stirring back to life across Hyrule - and with it, the six Secret Stones have broken loose from wherever they'd been kept, ancient sources of power tied to each Champion and their people. Mipha, Link, Impa, Zelda, Daruk, Urbosa, and Revali are pulled back into the fight together whether they're ready or not, racing to find the stones before something worse does, all while carrying whatever's left unspoken between the two of them into every mission.

    In a modern-day Hyrule, a prophecy in which none believed to be true was beginning to actualize. 10,000 years ago, there had been a great disaster, which had wiped out hundreds of people in the ancient civilizations of Hyrule. Zelda was determined to figure out why. Against her father's will, she studies archaeology, and one day in the black of night, she sneaks past the guards of her family's castle in search of an answer. She comes upon an abandoned quarry, full of ancient relics--and discovers one that had yet to be unburied. What she learns changes everything. Before it's too late, she needs to convince her father that what she discovered could drive the people of Hyrule to extinction, and they must prepare before it's too late. This story mainly based on Age of Calamity, but also includes elements of Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom and Twilight Princess, all packed into a modern-day version of Hyrule. Zelda, alongside her personal guard Link and the companions she meets along the way, must find a way to end the great Calamity that threatens the country. This is a story of survival, of friendships made in unconventional times, and of a young princess, who must come to terms with the power that has been passed down for generations in her bloodline in order to save the world. !!Cover image is temporary until I draw one :)

    It has been a week since the defeat of the Demon King and the return of Princess Zelda. But though the war is won, there is still much to do. Setting out with her trusted knight, the princess seeks to use her newfound power to eliminate the remaining monsters and heal the land of the Demon King's influence. ... This fanfic heavily incorporates elements from TOTK, the Switch 2 Zelda voice memories, and Age of Imprisonment. Seeing as AOI is likely the last we'll ever see of the wild era Link and Zelda, I wanted a bit of closure on some aspects of the story that the games never give us. Therefore, here is my personal "dlc." I hope you enjoy it! I do not own the characters or the cover art for this story. All rights to Nintendo.
