    Summary

    “Well, well,” the Great Deku Tree says, “it’s you.”

    There is a moment where Link cannot deny his identity. A fraction of a moment where he feels it, feels it all - the generations and generations balanced upon his shoulders, that every breath in the world depends on him. He feels the light breeze twist through the clearing, he feels each fiber of his clothing against his skin, the knots wrenching within his chest, his breath against his chapped lips.

    He feels the careful precipice that existence stands on. The crow flies and the vine grows and the child smiles at the sun in the morning because of him- because of him.

    //

    A retelling of BOTW from Link's perspective.

    Summary

    “Link? Are you hurt?”

    He stared at the corpses as if seeing death for the first time, spellbound by the red tendrils that rose from them like steam. His legs shook; his stomach roiled with sickness; it took him three tries to slide the Master Sword into its scabbard. Zelda drew closer, her brow creased with worry, a faint aura of light still shimmering around her as she reached for his shoulder.

    The Gloom recoiled from her touch, and Link flinched back, clutching his arm, digging his nails in again to feel something, anything else. She snatched her hand away as though burned, staring at him through the darkness.

    “Link?” she repeated, her voice shrinking down to something small and scared. “Can you answer me?”

    Summary

    “Do you know everything?” Link asks, tilting his head and flaring out his ears. They stretch across the soft pillow beneath his head, trying not to miss a single word coming out of her mouth. The covers on his bed are slightly rumpled where Saria has made herself at home, legs crossed and leaning back on her hands.

    She pushes a lock of emerald hair behind her pointed ears. “Of course!” She exclaims. “The Deku Tree told me lots, so I know lots as well!”

    “Can you tell me a story about the dragon in the sky?”

    Summary

    “Can anybody find me somebody to love?”

     

    Link was enchanted from the first note she sang. It was an old song, one that was written in the year before the Calamity struck, but one that was still widely beloved in this age—a “classic,” people called it. But as Zelda sang the opening lines, it was like he was hearing it for the first time. Her voice was as bright as birdsong and as warm as a summer afternoon, ringing out from her chest and floating softly on the wind. For all the time he spent at her side, Link wondered why he had never heard the princess sing; he knew he never would have forgotten a voice like that had he heard it before.

    Summary

    Written for Zelink Week 2024. Prompt: Blooming.

    -

    “It’s just you and I now, you know? In this future,” said Zelda as she looked upon him with imploring eyes. “It’s taken a hundred years, but we’ve made it back to where we were. It was a long time…”

    -

    Or, it's in the little things that remind Link of Zelda. But so many little things often lead to something much larger.

    Summary

    He’s never had any say in Sheik’s comings and goings; he’s never harbored any illusions of this alliance outlasting Ganondorf. Even so, the idea of losing his guide, his shadow—the person who stood between him and an unfathomably powerful shadow spirit—is suddenly unbearable.

    But if Link couldn’t bear the unbearable, he wouldn’t be the Hero of Time.

    Summary

    “Hero of Hyrule, chosen by the sword that seals the darkness…”

    Her voice washed over him as he knelt before her. Even the formality of ceremony could not entirely conceal the disdain laden in her voice. His hips were straining and his knee was aching from being pressed into the cold, hard stone beneath him, but he did not dare move. Instead, he distracted himself from his discomfort by staring at the hem of his tunic resting at the top of his thighs—pristinely cerulean, nearly the color of his own eyes.

    The idea that Zelda had crafted it so carefully for him was one that Link still could not wrap his head around.

    or: 5 times Link wore the champion's tunic as its color faded over time + 1 time Zelda wore it

    Summary

    She had stolen his heart under the stars. Having freed her from Calamity Ganon at last, he looked at her and she stole his heart without ever knowing she held so much power over him,

    She had stolen his heart under the stars; and, now, she takes it away with her as she soars aimlessly away in her dragon magnificence.

    Summary

    Stay with her, the Shade insisted. Treasure her. Be there long enough to say goodbye.

    Zelda raised her head suddenly, digging around in her cloak pocket. Link only caught a brief glimpse of what she produced—a painted miniature of a golden-haired woman—before the Shade choked out a sound that was undoubtedly, devastatingly human.

    “She treasured you too,” Zelda promised.

    Summary

    “My price,” It says, power brimming with each word. “Is that after all is done, you shall break the last seals that chain me to this place. In exchange, hero, I offer you the opportunity to erase your failure.”

    For the wails of the past weigh heavy even for those who don’t remember it and a kingdom that is built upon sacrifices will never be free of any burdens.

    —Or, a failure of a hero makes a deal with a fierce burden.

    Summary

    Whenever the urge strikes him, he can dive off of the island and land onto his soulmate’s back, racing across the skies to wherever his heart desires. More often than not, that desire guides him to glide next to his serpentine companion. Its eyes are a striking purple and blue, glossing over him like he is not there as it surveys the vastness of blue in its path. He keeps a measured distance between himself and the creature – despite his fascination, he knows nothing about how it behaves – as he soars next to its head. It makes his flights less lonely.

    Every once in a while, Zelda will join him. She will fly on the other side of the dragon’s head, hidden from his view by the mane of golden strands. Hours are spent like this, together, with their friend, basking in the quiet comfort.

    When he is seventeen, that all changes. Zelda falls. Link is the goddess’ chosen agent. Fi leads him on a mission.

    Summary

    — Eu… eu preciso de você. Você faz com que, mesmo nesse turbilhão de emoções e dúvidas, eu me sinta… feliz. Você é a única pessoa a quem eu já confiei meus pensamentos. E eu amo a sua companhia… ou você acha que eu sempre te seguia apenas por ser seu guarda-costas? Em teoria, quando você ordenava que eu ficasse longe, eu deveria obedecer. Por que você acha que eu sempre ignorei esses seus comandos? Mas não seria justo… nem com você, nem comigo… te pedir algo além do que nós somos. Não quando eu mal sou uma pessoa completa. Não quando eu nem sei quem eu sou fora essa maldita espada.

    E eu odeio o quanto é coerente o que ele me diz. Ele desvia o olhar e nós observamos o sol se pôr, junto com os meus sonhos.

    Embarque com Link e Zelda nesta jornada de autodescoberta, onde eles precisarão aprender quem são fora os salvadores de Hyrule.

    Nesta jornada para encontrarem a si mesmos e um ao outro, eles aprenderão sobre suas verdadeiras origens, as forças do destino, o livre-arbítrio e as obras dos deuses.

    A história se passa no intervalo de tempo entre Breath of the Wild e Tears of the Kingdom.

    Summary

    "I... I need you. You make me feel... happy even in this whirlwind of emotions and doubts. You're the only person I've ever trusted with my thoughts. And I love your company... or do you think I always followed you just because I was your bodyguard? In theory, when you ordered me to stay away, I should have obeyed. Why do you think I always ignored those commands? But it wouldn't be fair... to you or to me... to ask for something beyond what we are. Not when I'm barely a complete person. Not when I don't even know who I am outside of this damned sword."

    And I hate how much sense he makes. He looks away, and together we watch the sun set along with my dreams.

    Embark with Link and Zelda on this journey of self-discovery, where they will need to learn who they are besides the saviors of Hyrule.

    On this journey to find themselves and each other, they will learn about their true origins, the forces of fate, free will, and the works of the gods.

    The story takes place in the time gap between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

    Summary

    — Desse jeito você vai acabar colapsando antes mesmo de fazermos qualquer coisa, Link — diz enquanto se aproxima, me abraçando por trás.

    Zelda deposita alguns beijos no meu pescoço, subindo lentamente até que sua boca esteja próxima de meu ouvido para sussurrar:

    — Vamos fazer assim — diz, baixinho, fazendo meu corpo inteiro se arrepiar. Seus dentes mordem levemente o lóbulo da minha orelha. — Eu começo sozinha… e se você quiser se juntar, está mais do que convidado.

    Link e Zelda passaram mais de meia década separados, depois que Link deixou Hyrule para se encontrar após a queda da Calamidade. Cinco anos depois, eles se reencontram e, depois de muito trabalho, finalmente... ficam juntos mais uma vez (acho que você entendeu o que quis dizer).

    Este one-shot é, na verdade, um capítulo bônus da fanfic principal "A coragem de encontrar-me", também escrita por mim e disponível aqui no AO3. Ele se passa durante os saltos temporais mencionados nos Capítulos 19 e 21 da referida fanfic. No entanto, pode ser lido de forma independente, pois é bastante autoexplicativo.

    Summary

    No one was beyond saving. At least, that's what Link thought before encountering a mysterious man named Dark with an even more mysterious past. As they work together to reunite Hyrule with worlds long forgotten and pick up the pieces of Dark's life, they'll discover that no matter who you are, it's never too late to be saved from the edge of darkness.

    Set approximately one year after the events of Ocarina of Time, except Link never went back in time. In this story, Dark is not Link's shadow or dark side, but rather a person that he meets during a new adventure - but don't worry, dear readers. He still retains some essence of the Dark Link you might know and love from similar works of fiction. Certain chapters in this story contain trigger warnings, and there are several instances of strong language throughout the story.
