He had seen her face in his dreams, felt her heart beating beside his, heard her breathe when he listened, for as long as he could remember. When he finally became her Shadow, she was everything he had dreamed and more. She was also much, much too clever for her own good.

Siren's hymn by Zephyrella

Summary
The Siren of Eventide Island is a legend that pirates and sailors tell each other. They say she lures sailors to their doom, and that men who follow her voice never come back.
Link’s always been fascinated by the story. He feels the pull towards her island, even though he’s never heard her song. One day he sees her through his spyglass, and the image of her silhouette in the afternoon sun is burned into his brain like a brand.
She pulls him out to sea, and he goes willingly.
.....
He walks forward, taking another step, and then another, until the blade of her knife brushes against the cloth of his shirt.
“Go ahead,” he says, lifting an eyebrow. He watches the graceful lines of her throat contract as she swallows. She looks down at the silver blade in her hands, then meets his gaze again, defiance burning behind her eyes.
“Why did you come here?”
He shrugs one shoulder.
“Curiosity.”
The word is wholly inadequate to describe the force that had drawn him here.
“You would throw your life away so easily?”
“It isn’t worth much.”

Summary
After an attack by the Yiga Clan years after the Calamity was expected to return, King Rhoam orders Princess Zelda to learn how to protect herself, which Zelda already doesn’t want to do. But, when she realizes her instructor is— in her own words—'a rude, impolite, stuck-up, bossy, condescending, disrespectful, arrogant, selfish, wretched young knight' named Link who she absolutely can’t stand from the moment she meets him, she’s determined to make this experience difficult for him as well. At least, that's what she intended at the start.

Summary
“We never discussed ground rules,” Zelda said matter-of-factly. “And we really should have.”
Link didn’t say anything, waiting for her to continue.
“Obviously, no one can know it’s a ruse,” Zelda said. “If anyone finds out, my father will call off his blessing, and both of us will be back to square one.”
Link nodded.
Zelda suddenly felt too warm, and she decided to shuffle over to her desk, which was a good distance from Link, and dig around for a piece of paper and a quill. “It’ll be good for us to write it out,” she said, more for herself than for Link, who sat on the other side of her desk expectantly.
Why did he look like he was waiting to get marching orders? Like he might have been almost eager for it?
She focused on writing out the first rule. “Rule number one, no one can know.” She penned the words carefully. “We have to look genuinely head over heels for each other.”

His stomach dropped to his feet at the sight of Zelda restrained once more, this time with a knife against her delicate neck.
He couldn't run. He couldn't leave her behind.
Link's knife clattered against the floor of the cave as he dropped it, followed quickly by the sound of his belt hitting cold stone.

Summary
“The people are angry,” one advisor seethed. “They’re hurt, afraid, and they are demanding reparations. Some even go so far as to demand that the savages assimilate into civilized society, that we deliver an ultimatum.”
“What if we compromised, and made an attempt to obtain reparations and a peace treaty?” Zelda made a point to draw her eyes across each man seated at the table.
Her father’s hand stilled at his beard, face cast as if shadowed by an autumn storm. Finally, after what felt like years of silence, he stroked his beard thoughtfully.
“It will be so.”

Finding Princess Zelda by lylybex

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
“You know how I talked about my best friend—er, ex-best friend, I guess? How I sort of…ghosted him once we started college?” She took another swig. The liquor should have been smooth, but what she was about to say made it feel like sludge down her throat, forcing her to swallow thickly. Her voice was small when she said, “He’s here.”
“What do you mean, here? Like, with someone from work?” Riju asked, and for some reason, the idea of that made Zelda feel sick. It was a relief to shake her head and say,
“No, I think he’s catering.”
“Are you sure?”
“Riju, I would know him anywhere.”
Or, Zelda learns that not all romances go quite like the books have them written, and Link learns a thing or two about pleasing a woman.

“Lovers’ quarrel?” The motel receptionist asks with a wiggle of his eyebrows. “Or do you snore too much?”
Link chokes and turns it into a cough, unable to meet Zelda's eyes. “Neither.”
“We’ve only got a King bed available. Hope you make up soon,” the receptionist says with a wink.
Link sleeps on the couch.

Summary
Zelda Nohansen lived a normal life in Hyrule: her father is the wealthy Governor of the flourishing Windfall Island, she’s engaged to a respectable sailor, and she’s ready to travel across the sea to her new home beside them. But when pirates intercept her ship on the crossing, she finds herself in a new predicament she'd never planned: questioning everything she has been taught about strict Hylian rules, facing the harsh reality that not all pirates are simply the heartless creatures she’d been told stories about her whole life, and realizing Hylians are not as pure of spirit as she'd been led to believe.

Summary
Fresh out of college with her degree in computer science, Zelda Hyrule had dreams of working for the large scale tech company she'd had her sights set on since high school: Akkala Analytics. Graduating top of her class at the most prestigious University in the country, she is certain that this will be her path to a prestigious career. So when she unexpectedly finds herself in the middle of a corporate cover-up after just 6 months on the job, she is forced to choose between her career aspirations or her integrity. Out of desperation she resorts to her only available fallback plan: teaching computer science at a small-town middle/high school. This has to be the worst possible life plan for someone with such intellect and credentials, but sometimes life doesn't work out the way you plan.

Summary
Near the end of South Castle street, right down the dark stairway between the laundromat and the fortune teller’s, lies Telma’s Bar & Entertainment. Of course, “entertainment” was just embellishing the fact that it was a strip joint. Zelda had never gone in before, being a normal, non-perverted person. Tonight, however, was her first trip.
