Summary
He doesn’t know if “love” is an action more than a feeling; if anything, he’s loved her as the sun loves the moon. Devoted, always following. He’s chased her beyond horizons and celestial fields. In his actions, he was certainly in love. Link rests his cheek on her head, brows furrowing. Eyes squeezing shut, a kiss is returned to the princess’s crown.
It’s quiet aside from the roaring blood in his ears.

Summary
My attempt at a botw fic, this was supposed to be a one shot but nooo I just had to change the ending a little too much. Also, since the hero of the wilds is running on a timer until Ganon is done making a body wouldn't he be stressed as all hell and not silly as I've seen some people write him?

Summary
“Your mother is sick.” Arn says gently—no, weakly. Link hears the slight crack in his words, bleeding with hurt and worry. “You can't…you can't give her no more stress, you hear?”
“Yes sir.” Link mumbles.
“She needs to rest and get her health back up. She needs a doctor.”
Link’s hands curl into his tunic, trembling. His voice cracks. “Yes sir.”
“Link.” Arn’s hand claps atop Link’s shoulder, firm and unmoving. “You need to be a man. You need to grow up.”

Summary
Link is used to being the strong one. His job is to be there for others, and he'd do anything for his friends, especially Zelda. It's his purpose in life, and it makes him feel fulfilled. As for his own needs, he's self-sufficient and likes it that way - he can't fathom anything different. But when the Demon King's attack beneath Hyrule Castle robs him of his strength and vitality, Link finds himself in the unbearable position of not only having to grapple with sudden and profound weakness, but also having to rely on others when it comes to his own wellbeing. It might surprise him to learn that his freinds are more than willing, able, and even happy to give him the support he needs as he works to get well and regain his strength during the course of his journey to find Zelda and save Hyrule a second time.
As of Jan 2025: NOT ABANDONED! Author is dealing with some pretty significant health issues atm. I want you lovely readers to know that I’m hoping to return to this fic soon and think about it daily!

Summary
Maybe the resurrection chamber which brought him back to life thought it wise to keep him with only the essential to destroy the calamity: survival instinct and fighting skills. Everything else was disposable. But how could a machine predict that the thing which came out of it would be nothing more than an empty vessel, ready to be filled by other people’s demands. Because that was exactly what Link was now, and she couldn’t see anything else in his glazed eyes than that deep emptiness such as a bottomless lake.
Somehow it was a bit frightening that people would put their entire faith in a man who lacked everything but rage to destroy the calamity.
He seemed much closer to destroying himself first.

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.
