Summary
||Info: Finally instead of a narrow perspective of the princess you get the perspective of Link himself. On all the pre-calamity preparations, as well as the life of a knight, and his trauma. So if you hated how you always only got Zelda’s perspective, this fanfic is for you.||
Link’s life turns upside down after the burden of the sword falls on to his shoulders. He faces many struggles and obstacles on his way.
Feeling like he is a burden to Zelda, and a nobody to Revali, he begins to believe that.

Summary
“Hey, Zelda?”
“Yes?” the fluffy white cat responds, flicking her tail.
“What’s it like being the princess’s cat? Is it super comfy at the castle?” Link asks, tail wagging so vigorously that Zelda was half convinced he might take off. “I mean, you gotta be super pampered!”
“Well I’m actually…”

Summary
IN WHICH, Hyrule is a shadow of its former glory. The Calamity has arrived, at long last, and the people are woefully unprepared leading to death and destruction. That night, Princess Zelda falls to the brink between life and death, and in a last desperate plea she is laid to rest in the shrine of ressurection-- her loyal knight, on the other hand, makes his way to the castle and uses the power of the Master Sword to buy the Princess some time and seal Ganon away.
(Basically, a role reversal of the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Oh-- and somehow the champions make it out of this alive too!)
Updates are not guaranteed for a set time but I will try and get this whole thing out there by the end of this year.

Summary
The final girl went missing today.
Zelda sits huddled in the corner of her prison, arms gripping her legs and forcing them closer to her chest. She does not want to take up too much space. Just in case Agahnim remembers she is there.
The girl had been in the cell next to hers – only a crumbled layer of brick stood tall between them, keeping them from each other. She had been so scared. Her voice was soft and wavering, reaching through the cracks in the walls to seek what comfort Zelda could provide. Zelda had whispered back promises of freedom and safety with as much hope as she could muster. There was not much left.

Summary
The malice burns.
It creeps across her skin, singeing the hairs dotting her arms and legs and digging into each pore. A scabbed, blackened trail is left in its wake, replacing her previously unscarred form. Every second that passes allows it to sink in deeper.
Zelda squeezes her eyes shut tighter, concentrates on pushing Hylia’s light out of her muscles, and pushes the pain from her mind.

Summary
People had looked at her many times since then, but they did not see her. They saw cracked brick through her chest, or the blue sky in her head, or the uncrushed grass beneath her shoe. Their greetings dart past her to reach Link, who answers every statement with a blinding smile and a helping hand. The weight on his shoulder is never noticed. It is why she prefers to stay with the train instead of venturing into town.
Her carelessness stripped her personhood from her. The wisdom she supposedly inherited left her vulnerable. Even if she does get her body back, she does not think she will ever escape this numb feeling in her soul.

Summary
It is a strange thing, living a life she was so sure she would never get to see again.
When she ascended, Zelda had done her best to make her peace with it. She had known what she was giving up. Mineru’s words were branded into her brain, red-hot and all-encompassing, a hated truth. As she stepped up to the altar, as she handed away the Purah Pad, as she raised her secret stone to her lips – she knew. Living as an immortal dragon meant living without the essence of herself. Her mind and heart would have to be surrendered fully, and she would never get it back. It was a death, but one so abstract and unthinkable that she doubted it was widely seen as one. It was a point of no return.
But it was. And she did.
She does not know what to do with the life she has been granted when she had resolved herself to never grasp it again.

Sometimes, he called his beauty a curse. And perhaps it was.
(The tale of Narcissus and Echo, but I made it sadder and now it’s about Link and Zelda… it’s still set in Ancient Greece though!)
Please note: Link is NOT a narcissist in this fic. I mixed it up a bit :)

After a hundred years of sleep, Wild doubted he'd ever be able to handle people the way he might have used to.
Especially not when they all but chase him all the way to Hateno.
(At least he has Zelda.)
