Summary
Two kingdoms, both alike in dignity -
A long-forgotten war returns to plague fair Hyrule, reviving ancient enmities and dangerous powers. Hyrule dreams, the spirits of her people adrift in the Zant’s shadows.The mageborn monarch of Twilight escapes her would-be assassin and seeks among the light-dwellers of Hyrule for a Champion. Midna & Link hunt the twisted monsters under Zant’s command. They fight to restore the shrines of Hyrule’s land guardians & raid sanctuaries for fragments of ancient magic to retake her country.
A cursed princess and a fallen king must find common ground before the cruelty of the usurper can destroy both worlds. Ganondorf fights two wars: one of secret steel & subtle magic to weaken ancient chains & subvert Zant; the other, his own spirit threatening the tenuous alliance with the Crown Princess Zelda, who will stop at nothing to free her country from the darkness. He covets the same relics Midna hunts to free himself from Zant & his own endarkened destiny before his beloved princess can discover his sins...
In the fullness of time, all wheels turn.

Summary
The campaign for Eldin is going about as well as anyone could expect. Keeping the wolfboy focused on infiltrating the fallen shrines - and only the fallen shrines - without losing more of his blin warriors to Zant's control proves more challenging with every passing week.
The whole army knows by now their King and the besieged Princess are lovers.
Ganondorf finds it difficult to care.
He craves her clever conversation as much as he longs for her gentle hands, and he keeps a growing pile of her precious letters by his pillow.
Zelda waits, watching from her tower as her king and the hero both work in their own way to free her country from the Twilight. Ganondorf is so much of what she hopelessly longed for in a true consort, a match of equals. Complicated and bitter and cagey, but real.
If they can prevail, if they can forge a true alliance, if they can bring Light and Shadow into harmony again, there is hope for tomorrow.
The sun shines once more on Hyrule Castle.
Victory begins to seem possible...
A collaboration written for the 8th bonus day of Zelgan Week, 2025, leveraging a prompt that didn't make this year's final cut: Garden

Summary
Ganondorf has learned patience, at great cost. He has tracked the aspiring hero to the tower of the gods and the enchanted gate leading down through it to the sunken ruins of Hyrule castle itself. There he will wait, and there the child will bring the remaining Triforce shards and the sword with which he will key a new seal.
But not yet.
First there is a waverat to educate in her own history, and the legacy of the Sacred Maiden and all her bloodline has woven in the world... if he can persuade her to slightly less violence than usual.
Written for Zelgan Week 2025, day 5 prompt: Mythology

If you're a LoZ fan and you aren't already invested in reading about Link and pony, I'm not even sure where to begin with you.
(Also it's really good, but you don't have to take my word for it.)

Summary
There is a place on the Great Plateau that the outside world could not reach. In a cave in the side of the hill, sealed by thick foliage and thorny branches, there lay dormant an enormous flower bud with its petals wound tight.
Today, on the hundredth Summer since the Calamity, the fifth and tiniest of the Great Fairies finally emerges from his fountain.
