Summary
He had seen her face in his dreams, felt her heart beating beside his, heard her breathe when he listened, for as long as he could remember. When he finally became her Shadow, she was everything he had dreamed and more. She was also much, much too clever for her own good.

Summary
Running into someone once is a coincidence, but three times in a day is fate, right? Or it sure feels that way when fledgling Professor Zelda attends a conference at Rito Village and meets Link, a man with a disarming smile, a warm touch, and a propensity for turning up where she is.

May the Light Shine Ever by pseudocitrus
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
04 Jul 2023
Tags
Summary
He was exceedingly polite. An exemplary guard. He followed her everywhere, as close and as silent as a shadow. Despite his slight stature, the Sword that Seals the Darkness—a breathtakingly storied weapon—glinted perfectly over his shoulder at all times, like it belonged nowhere else. He lived up to the promise of every legend ever recorded in Hyrule’s history.
“What’s there to think?” she said finally. “He’s perfect.”
And she couldn’t stand him.
Pre-BOTW oneshots involving Zelda and Link reckoning with their destinies, together. Includes: one in which Zelda asks Link to teach her his way of signing; one where they get stuck in a cave; and one where there's a big dance at the castle.

Summary
She can feel fingers comb through her dirty hair, a voice trying to soothe her, but Zelda can’t stop crying, no matter how hard she tries.
No, don’t, she tries to say, don’t, you shouldn’t touch me, I’m wrong – something’s broken.

Summary
Link has fallen hopelessly in love with the princess of Hyrule, and has decided to express his affections the only way he knows: by cooking her delicious meals, while letting her think it's just the work of the castle chefs. Surely she won't find out.
A very low-stakes fic where Link serves Zelda various meals just to watch her enjoy them.

Summary
“Thank you Link, Hero of Hyrule.”
Her voice flows over him, filling him the way it had so many times since he first heard it in the Shrine of Resurrection. He forces himself to look at the princess he fought so hard to retrieve.
She lowers her head, clasping her hands against her chest. “May I ask…do you really remember me?”
She meets his eyes again, and something inside of him cracks. With pity. With pain. Because, as he stares at Princess Zelda, descendant of the goddess, the one who has guided him and called to him all this time, he knows he is about to break her heart.
Because he does not remember her at all.
----
After the defeat of Calamity Ganon, Link and Zelda set off to unite Hyrule, despite the fact that Link does not have his memories, and Zelda is still recovering from her imprisonment in the castle. Along the way, they wrestle with their relationships with each other, themselves, and the people they want to protect.
This story serves as a loose connection between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, exploring the relationship between Link and Zelda in the wake of disaster.

The Sheikah Court Poet sees how well Link and Princess Zelda have been getting along as of late. Perhaps too well.

And this upcoming trek to the Spring of Courage might just give him the chance he needs.
Now if only that pesky knight would make things easier on him.

Tapestry of Fate by AdenaWolf

Tags
Summary
"A single thread in a tapestry, though its colour brightly shines, can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design..."
For millennia, the Hero of Legend and Princess of Destiny have been bound together by fate. It's simple math, then, that putting them together as soon as possible will increase the odds of victory. Zelda doesn't care: it doesn't matter if this "Hero" will help her unlock her powers, she doesn't want him in her life! Especially not forever!

“I’m heading into town to buy food,” he tells her, welcoming the chill of the air, “I won’t be long.”
“All right,” she says, covering the safflina seeds with soil, “Do you need more?”
More? Link looks down at himself, confused. More what?
OR
Link finds extra money in his wallet every month, something he chalks up to him being bad at math. Unbeknownst to him, Zelda thinks he's her landlord.

The truth was, he never chose silence. The Master Sword had become a needle, his fate a thread; and Link could feel them working, ever so slowly, to sew his mouth shut.

Summary
She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.
(Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)

Siren's hymn by Zephyrella
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
26 Apr 2025

Summary
The Siren of Eventide Island is a legend that pirates and sailors tell each other. They say she lures sailors to their doom, and that men who follow her voice never come back.
Link’s always been fascinated by the story. He feels the pull towards her island, even though he’s never heard her song. One day he sees her through his spyglass, and the image of her silhouette in the afternoon sun is burned into his brain like a brand.
She pulls him out to sea, and he goes willingly.
.....
He walks forward, taking another step, and then another, until the blade of her knife brushes against the cloth of his shirt.
“Go ahead,” he says, lifting an eyebrow. He watches the graceful lines of her throat contract as she swallows. She looks down at the silver blade in her hands, then meets his gaze again, defiance burning behind her eyes.
“Why did you come here?”
He shrugs one shoulder.
“Curiosity.”
The word is wholly inadequate to describe the force that had drawn him here.
“You would throw your life away so easily?”
“It isn’t worth much.”
