Pursuit of Power by KnightofRaccoonCity

Summary
In the quiet after Twilight, a new darkness rises — not from an evil king, but from a single, devastating lie.
As Link aches for freedom from destiny's pull, Zelda draws him closer, hiding truths that make him question everything he’s fought for. The more he chases forbidden answers, the more his soul warps — bending under the weight of an ancient force and a heart long restrained, becoming the danger the queen fears most.
Caught between them is Ashei — the woman he loves and his last fragile thread to a world beyond the hero’s shadow. Forced to choose between the hero she stands by and the queen she swore to serve, she becomes an unwilling piece in a dangerous game neither side can afford to lose.
In a realm steeped in secrecy and deception, love turns into a weapon, trust corrodes, and every step forward pulls them deeper into a tangle of heartbreak and half-spoken prophecy. And in the pursuit of power, the greatest cost is not strength — but what you’re willing to lose to keep it.
Forged in golden fire and blood, Hyrule faces its most terrifying monster yet: the one wearing the hero’s face.

Summary
We elected a president and got an authoritarian. The president's voice crackles through the radio speakers as he makes his announcement: magic has been outlawed.
I’m a walking target so long as I have this wild magic. I am ruled by my fear. I keep my head bowed and hope that nobody notices me as each day passes, and so far my prayers have gone answered. This is the only thing left I have to be thankful for. The president’s motives are not mine to know, but what he wanted was clear, and he’s got it. I live in pure, unadulterated fear with my townsfolk, my co-workers, my neighbors. It’s all the same.
My only respite comes in the form of a mechanical man that's existed for centuries thanks to his magic, but releasing his soul is a daunting task. Especially when the mage that took his original body holds a prominent place in the government and swears Link Coutts killed Hylian Impressionism.

Summary
It's two in the morning at the Stock Pot Inn, and for some reason Mr. Barten has the bar open. “I think I need to be somewhere else,” Link says at last, and he gets the feeling like he’s echoing that. Hasn’t he said that before? Gotten that feeling?
Stupid déjà vu. Didn’t he get rid of that?
Mr. Barten’s sympathetic expression is a hard slap though. “You always find your way back to her one way or another,” Mr. Barten assures him. He smiles a bit devilishly at Link, and Link can’t help but think there’s something sleekit about it. He doesn’t like it. “She can wait. Don’t you like whisky?” Mr. Barten asks. “You look like a whisky man.”
“As long as it’s without the ‘e’,” says Link.
“Oh, I would never serve you whiskey,” Mr. Barten promises. “I know what regions you like.” Whatever bizarre stupor Link’s in shatters at that, and Link numbly rises from his seat and steps back from the bar. He TOLD Zelda that this better not be some super spooky supernatural crap. Link's had enough of that to last a lifetime.
Sequel to Link and Midna's - the one shots in between on the series aren't crucial.

Summary
Link eyed him.
“…You can come closer, you know.”
Ghirahim’s heart kicked against his ribs.
He responded the only way he knew how:
“I refuse to share body heat with you, mortal.”
Link made a noise somewhere between exasperation and a laugh. “I didn’t offer.”
“You were thinking it.”
“I was not.”
“You absolutely were, this body? These long supple legs? Of course you’ve considered it, anyone would.”
Link and Ghirahim argue.
They complain.
They threaten each other with blades, brooms, and words.
And Skyloft realises, long before the demon and the hero do, that this is less a rivalry and rather instead some odd form of foreplay. -

Summary
Midna Dahl gets the sense that she is on the precipice of something, feet hanging over the drop precariously. She just doesn't know what, but she can smell it.
"How do you even put up with him?” Midna admits, “It’s definitely not like I haven’t thought about dumping his body off in the river.”
Zelda smiles brightly and says, “Ah, I suppose it’s easy when you’ve known them since forever.”
And Midna just thinks Link and Zelda are frickin' weird. She’s not sure if it’s related to the big something though. “You’re being weird,” she accuses Zelda. Zelda doesn’t even blink when Midna storms by and whips the front door open. “I’m out,” she tells Zelda. As Zelda gives her a quiet “Okay, see you,” Midna snaps, dragging the door behind her, “I’ll figure it out!”
Midna does, but that doesn’t happen for about another year after Link starts coming back stupid late from his Monday talk therapy sessions. That annoys Midna to no end, because she’s over here starving.

Summary
Link spends his days waiting in the late summer of 1917. He’s got not much else going on, honestly. He can hobble his way down to the park and wait, or he could wait in a bread line, or he could wait at the flat for his next disability and maintenance checks to come. So yep, Link decides that he might as well go and wait somewhere scenic like the park.
Link looks over at Ravio, accusingly almost. “You know that I walk here, sit around for a long time, and yet you judge me for not having anything else to do?” He counters, “I could ask the same of you then.”
Ravio tilts his head to one side. “Ehh…” Ravio hesitates. He sucks on the cigarette. “It’s just a job,” he says vaguely. He looks over at Link and asks, “But hey, you do a lot of waiting yourself, don't you?”

Summary
They say the heat makes people crazy. Deep in an economic depression, the simmering civil unrest reaches a fever pitch on Summertide in Castleton when the Yiga cause a citywide blackout. When Link offers to accompany Zelda to check on her ailing father, he quickly finds he has more to worry about than the dark when rioters flood the streets and a killer takes advantage of the chaos to make a final sacrifice to the Old Gods.
Zelda gapes at the blackness beyond the window of Romani's. Suddenly it feels like she’s floating in some dark cloud, not high above a city that should be filled with the glow of lights and neon. Five minutes pass, then ten, then fifteen, but no sign of the lights coming back on. The quiet murmur begins to pick up to a light chatter and then to animated talking in the restaurant.
The first was Revali on Summertide. The next was Urbosa on Autumntide. Then on Wintertide was Daruk. Mipha was last on Springtide. Rusl wonders who might be so unlucky to face Calamity tonight. The fierce look in Mipha's little brother's eyes and the way they demanded that somebody DO SOMETHING haunt Rusl even in the waking hours.

Summary
Zelda’s mother hates Link’s guts, but Link had thought he and the old man got along. With the chess board between them, Link is currently reconsidering this.
Link glowers at Nohansen. “Zelda gets that same stupid smirk when she thinks she’s got the upper hand,” Link tells him, which sets the old man off again in new bubbles of laughter.
When his laughter finally subsides enough, Nohansen asks him, “I take it, then, that you’re calling it?”
Link throws his hands up.
Zelda's mother hates Link's guts, but hey, at least the old man likes Link.

Summary
He just asks Zelda, “You want to play cards Saturday? You should make a deal though under the table with Ashei, or she’ll clean you out.”
“The sixth?”
“Whatever it is.”
“It’s Mikau’s week, right?”
“… You keep track of that?”
And on the sixth, Link forgets how close to fire he is playing. “Gods, you men are so stupid,” says Midna, unwittingly to the rescue. Partially. “Does no one listen to me?” Link would prefer they don't in this specific instance. Can he just get out of here without being interrogated? Midna’s making it very hard.

Summary
The curious minds of Hyrule all presided within the tall walls of the Royal Research Lab, searching for answers behind the mysterious. Quentin, however, was not one of them, despite how badly he wanted to be. He let his intellect simmer within the stuffy rooms of the kitchens, hoping for a life where he was permitted to wield his curiosity for the sake of their Kingdom.
It was mere coincidence Princess Zelda had spotted him that day, where his path had changed into one of destiny, where he met the fate of love in the forms of silent dinners, brutal adventures and a divine purpose.

Summary
A splatter of blood hits Link’s face and he looks up, trembling with tension as he thrusts upward and is rewarded with a shocked gasp. Ganondorf looks human now, glassiness taking over his eyes, knees too weak to hold himself up. Link may be exhausted, covered in wounds and bruises, but he is victorious.

"Why did you leave?"

"Do what?" Revali asked.

So, he quit.

(I'm really bad at summaries, but basically Link is done with being a champion and tries to find a place to live alone. He fails:))

Summary
“Daruk. Urbosa. Revali. Mipha.”
He says their names like a prayer spoken too late. Like the kind of prayer you say at a grave, not a battlefield. His hands fall to his sides. “I’m sorry. I never wanted to fight you. But I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here to save you. To make right what time and fate destroyed.”
His voice catches, falters, then carries on, soft as falling ash. “I failed you once. I won’t do it again.”
