Finding Princess Zelda by lylybex
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
08 Dec 2024

Summary
When he was first appointed as the Princess’ guard, Link did not know what lay ahead. Top of his class, and widely considered the most capable swordsman in Hyrule, he assumed that he would live a comfortable life following the Princess around until she became the Queen, if his retirement did not come first. What he did not expect was the extraordinary and all-consuming adventure that came to be.
And it all began with the words, "Oh, Link. I'm home."
(Or, Link finally starts to realise how he feels about Zelda after she returns from what he assumed would be an eternal fate as a dragon. Brave enough to save Hyrule (twice), but not enough to confront his feelings head-on.)

Summary
“What are you doing here?” He asked evenly.
It was obvious what she was doing there, she thought miserably, fixing the pack slung over her back. “Taking a walk,” she huffed. He could easily call out to the guards, alerting them of her presence, foiling her escape plans. But he had explaining to do, too. “What are you doing here?” She asked.
He gave her a once over, spotting her bag. Caught. “Sneaking out,” he said.

How to Raise a Wild Child by MistressofInsanity19

Summary
When the Hylian delegation arrived with a child no older than a tadpole, King Dorephan was not at all surprised when his daughter expressed concern.
Nor could he refuse when she wished to know just what the captain was thinking, beginning his son's lessons in the art of the sword so early in the boy's life.
What DID surprise him was how badly harried the man was (perhaps the sake was a bad idea).Series

Summary
The princess had confided in him that she would rather make it look like they had some sort of whimsical romance rather than her being the subject of even more dour gossip about the arranged marriage they were truly being put in.
And how could Link have said no? It wasn’t hard to act like he was head over heels in love with her when that was the truth.Written for Zelink Community's weekly prompt Bury

Summary
With the defeat of Calamity Ganon, Hyrule has entered a new age of stability. The Princess of Hyrule, now free from her prison, tries to find her place in a new era of peace and prosperity. Done with the idea of spending her life as the damsel in distress, Zelda enlists Link to teach her how to defend herself and what starts as something constructive turns into a battle of wills with neither side willing to yield first.
“Please,” Zelda begged him softly, not knowing what exactly it was that she was begging for. All she knew was that only he could relieve her of the tension that had been building inside her for months before it finally boiled over.
“Tell me what you need,” Link murmured, watching her with dark, hungry eyes and spoke with danger in his tone.
“You,” she responded and arched her back in hopes of getting the friction she desperately needed to quell the fire in her veins. Your hands, your mouth, your anything. “Just you.”

Link smiles.
It’s big, and toothy, and wide. One side of his mouth quirks up slightly more than the other. He snaps his fingers, then points at her. “Oh! You’re the voice in my head!”
What.

Summary
Eight years after the Demon King's defeat, Link and Zelda find themselves caught up in a new adventure. Together, they must travel to uncharted, unfamiliar seas and seek out the long-forgotten fourth dragon goddess named Nyssa.
Through trials, mystery, and love, all while navigating an island wrought with new and undiscovered monsters, they must find the lost dragon.
The fate of the entire world is at stake.
I’ve turned the tides since stars were young,
Harnessing the moon with Dragontongue.
Her sway is mine, her light my crown,
I raise the sea; I pull it down.But silence took whose prayers once swelled,
My name unspoken, my temple felled.
I turned away from crown and fame,
And sank beneath the sea, unnamed.Bookmarked by Eclipse42

Summary
This was not the gentle man who lay in bed with her when the nights threatened to swallow her whole. Not the man who was fond of Koroks, who children were expressly fond of, whose rare smile was biggest when he was eating a meal he adored.
This was the man who knew what it was to be truly alone, with not even memories to keep him company. The man who had conquered Blights, obliterated the Calamity and slain the Demon King.
This was the man Link had kept under lock and key from Zelda, untamed and wild.
Or: Zelda discovers Muddlebuds for the first time, and Link suffers its effects firsthand.
