almost nothing can hurt me like thinking of you by raincoatjpg

Summary
"The Yiga Clan loathes Hyrule's good hero, and will stop at nothing to claim his life. Given their… numerous failed attempts at doing just that, they've clearly adopted a different strategy; if they cannot kill him, it appears they'll settle for causing him the most pain they possibly can, and they are certainly not above harming the people close to him for that purpose. Sidon doubtlessly features in that category, and he is endlessly proud of that, but he hadn't thought he'd be the prime target for such an endeavour.
Now, there's the kicker; somehow, some way, for some inane reason, the Yiga have become convinced that Link is in love with him."
Or, the Yiga are very proud of themselves for finding out Link's secret. Sidon finds the whole thing frankly hilarious, until he doesn't.

Summary
When a divine rift drops eight Heroes named Link into a Hyrule that's already been saved, they expect battlefields and danger. What they get is mist, good cooking, and a lot of confusion.
There's talk of another Hero—one they haven't met yet.
He's quiet. He's powerful. He's... nowhere to be found.
But someone’s been clearing monster camps.
And leaving suspiciously well-balanced meals.
And rearranging their boots.
Maybe the Hero they're chasing isn't lost.
Maybe he’s watching.
And maybe he’s got opinions.Series

Mine to Look After by hylianhoneycomb

Summary
The world began to narrow.
The hooves, the wind, the creak of leather, the rasp of the soldier’s breath—all of it folded in on itself, until there was only cold.
Only pain.
Only that one memory of Link’s voice, the way it broke when he begged her to stay.
She wanted to tell him she was sorry. Wanted to see his face one more time. Wanted to stay awake.
Her eyelids fluttered once. Twice.
Then fell shut.
And this time, she didn’t open them.

In all fairness, Link didn't mean to hide his injuries from Zelda this time. It just…sort of happened. And now she's giving him that look that tears his heart into a million pieces everytime he sees it in her emerald eyes.

Summary
Revali believes he's going to die and despite finding it pathetic after being so vocal about his so-called superiority, thinking about Link and the loss of what they are is what tortures him more during those minutes he believes will be his last.
He probably deserves it, but it doesn't make it any easier.

Summary
The night was so cold, cold enough to make her shiver when she awoke suddenly in the dark, but it was not the cold that made her blood freeze. It was Link, standing beside the loft's stairs, clutching his sword like a lifeline and staring at the full moon as if any second now it would turn a bright blood red.

Summary
Nobody knows what to make of Wild.
He’s a half-feral kitchen witch with wings, scars, and too many Sheikah hacks. No fear of God or physics. An instinct for chaos. A habit of vanishing. One moment he’s serving gourmet buffs like a traveling innkeeper, the next he’s soloing a Lynel with a soup ladle and a smile.
He shouldn’t work. He shouldn’t exist.
But he does—and surviving the wild starts with keeping up.
(A post-canon BotW/TotK series about food, found family, and one hero’s deeply alarming ability to troll his multiversal counterparts.)

Rifts in Time: Before the Adventure by AmayasAngel

Summary
"Rifts in Time: Before the Adventure" is the secondary collection of stories for my Links Meetup AU. The one for the stories that happen before the main adventure starts. The main series is called "Rifts in Time".
Most of my Links are queer in some manner. If that's not your sort of thing, then move on. If it is, then welcome! The story 'Rainbow Rupees Revisited' has an intensive character study of each Link (and Ravio!), including their queerness, but I'll also be putting a list of general pronouns and such at the bottom of each main Link Meetup story of mine, just to help people remember.
I now have a tumblr for this AU where you can find art that I, and others, have drawn for the heroes that will be in this story. It's called lozriftsintime.

Summary
I am too damn cold for this shit, Link thought. He stared down from the rock outcrop where he was perched. The sky was a pale gray, threatening rain or sleet if the temperature dropped any further. He could already feel icy flecks of spray misting down on him. He was out in the middle of nowhere in a desolate rocky barren canyon. A place so foreboding that even the birds looked miserable and they were the only animals he'd seen in days. He should have been alone out here.
He wasn't.- Language:

Summary
At Skyview Temple, Link's first meeting with Lord Ghirahim is drastically changed. A shocking, true vision of Demise's cruel treatment of his most loyal servant reveals to Link just how much it hurts to be a servant of evil. Instead of drawing his sword to fight, Link treats Ghirahim with kindness and insists on protecting him.

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
Rusl gets him sitting comfy, with a pillow under his arm - “To help you keep his head up; he can’t do that on his own, yet” - and then very carefully sets Colin in his arms.
And then Link is holding his baby brother.
Colin is so tiny. He’s got such little fingers, and no hair yet, and Link is easily holding his whole body in his arms.
“Hi, Colin,” he whispers. It’s like the whole world has stopped existing, and it’s just the two of them. “I’m Link.”
