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.

Link and Midna's Investigative Services by Snowyflakes (Schneeflakes)
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom

Summary
Five years post a world war, the former sailor turned alcoholic PI Link Coutts and his snarky assistant Midna Dahl are tasked by Daphnes Nohansen with finding his missing daughter Zelda, whose disappearance comes following her auction win of an eerie, talking mirror piece. The mirror's strange powers and abilities to open portals to dark realms pits the three against adversaries looking to seize the mirror for their own twisted desires.
When he’d been drafted, nobody asked him if he knew how to swim or if he was any good with machinery. Link simply had all his limbs and a heartbeat, and he could nod on command. That was good enough. And thus, he was quickly reduced, like so many other young men, to his family name and a serial number, and then told, “Congrats, you’re submarine material!”
He turns to Zelda, feeling chilled from all the sweat now. “Can you help me up?” he asks her. “I can’t get my leg unstuck.”
She squeezes his hand. “Link, you’re not stuck. You don’t have a leg to get stuck."

Summary
Link had thought about what it would feel like to finally defeat Ganon. He thought he'd feel nothing but victory and peace, but as Ganon was reduced to a pile of dust and he reunited with Zelda, another feeling struck him.
Grief. It was grief.
He'd only felt it in such intensity once before, after freeing Vah Medoh. Something about the short encounter with Revali sent a sparkle of grief up his heart, and by the brief look on Revali’s face, he hadn't been the only one.
And the most frustrating part was that Link had no idea why.Or: An exploration into Link's grief and frustration upon his lost memories, with a side of Revalink.

Summary
Four tries, "Does it count if it's only like twenty-five percent of me?"
"YES!" Twilight shouts exasperatedly, finally reaching his limit and throwing his hands to the heavens, "The normal amount of wanting to kill yourself is ZERO!"
That cannot possibly be true.

The Mirror Beneath by vampiredroid
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms

Summary
The castle is fucking floating. Link is supposed to be relishing in the peace he pried from destiny’s uncaring grip but now the castle is fucking floating. Why can't he ever catch a goddamned break?
TOTK but the Depths are further utilized, the Gloom attack has lasting effects on Link's health, and the sky islands are actually interesting (oh, and Link is dying lol). This is by no means a full rewrite. You will be confused if you have not played the game.

Summary
"Looks like the system can't account for the new weight of the frame. Re-tweak the power core and then overclock the stabilizers. It'll sort itself out. Should give it a wider range of movement too." Said a voice from off to the side. There was silence for a moment, followed by "You did add stabilizers, right?"
Purah clicked her fingers. "Snap! I knew I was missing something! Thanks!" She called, turning to the mini-guardian to continue her project.
Zelda was confused, she hadn't heard that voice before. Maybe a new assistant?
Her eyes scanned the room but she found nothing but her knight, Link, standing sentry as always. With a rather odd expression on his face.
Who just called that out?
WAIT.
Or: Fluffy oneshot at Link randomly contributing to a scientific debate and Zelda realizing her knight has a personality behind the guise after all.

Evoking the best of paranormal thrillers and heartfelt character dialogue, this work is a delight from start to finish. Starting with the mystery of hunting down a recently missing Zelda, that mystery starts going and doesn't let up. An absolute blast to read, highly recommend getting to know this cast and the trouble they're up to.

Bookmark Notes:
I love character studies, and this is a great example. One of my favorite characterizations of Twilight Princess Link post-game so far, using prompts and the journal format to look at more and more implications of the events of the game and their effects on Link's mindset. Sometimes it's really about the small things.

Summary
Link spent every day searching for her in desperation, he needed her. He went multiple nights with no rest, and spent his days yearning and grieving his lost lover. The day he finally found her was the most cruel punishment of all. He could no longer hold her in his arms. He could no longer feel her breath. He could no longer hear her gentle voice. He could no longer feel her heartbeat. He had finally found her, but she was not the same. Link’s love did not falter, for even as a dragon, she still had all of his heart.

Summary
"He's just a stupid knight. He shouldn't even be allowed to court the princess."
At first, the Rito champion thought he was jealous that he hadn't been chosen to protect Zelda. He was the strongest of all 4 mighty warriors, no? He was qualified enough for the task. But instead, Link, who he found an utter nuisance and brat of a knight, was given the opportunity, chosen by King Bosphoramus himself.
Link, on the other hand, is busy with his own burden.
"With so much at stake, and so many eyes upon me, I feel it necessary to stay strong and to silently bear any burden." The first words ever mouthed to Revali. Somehow, they were similar. No, he wouldn't change his perspective upon the silent knight.Not even if... in the worst circumstance,
Revali falls for him. -
