Summary
“Link!” Zelda calls out, racing toward her. “You did it, you got the sword!”
Link’s smile is dopey, and she rolls her head so that she can look at her Princess, her calling, her duty. But when their eyes meet, everything is wrong.
“You aren’t her,” Link breathes, and the voices in the room go silent.

A lovely story in between the events of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, as well as the thrilling sequel to Prelude (an incredible pre-BOTW fic).

Summary
10,000 years before the events of Breath of the Wild, Hyrule is at its peak of technological advancement. Young, rebellious Princess Zelda is unbothered by her kingdom’s troubles: overpopulation, political tension between nations, or the threat of the Wild—the vast, overgrown forest that covers most of the continent and is home to the mysterious people known as the Zonai. But unbeknownst to her—Calamity is on the horizon.

Summary
“Let’s say you’ve been asleep for a hundred years and when you wake up you’ve lost all your memories, but you defeat the big bad monster like you’ve been told to, because a girl told you to, and because you were in love with her. And after defeating the big bad monster she comes back, only she’s not the person she was a hundred years ago. And you’re not the person you were a hundred years ago. And yet every time you look at her, your chest hurts so bad you think you might be dying.”
He looks up from his breadstick. “Am I dying?”
“No,” Beedle says. “I think you’re stupid.”
All roads lead to Hateno.

An absolutely fuckin’ incredible exploration of trauma, plus a bit of zelink. Read this when you want to cry and feel or when you want to look up at the stars so that you feel small in comparison to the universe but you’re working a 9-5 and you just got there so you can’t. So you read this instead.

Summary
“You would choose me?” he asked softly.
“Yes. Not the Hero, but you, Link. Could you choose me, too?”
He started to nod, then put his voice behind it. “Yes.”
She looked at him, and he looked back, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that something momentous was taking place. The girl with the Goddess blood and the boy with the spirit of the Hero, bound together by fate to fight a war they never wanted a part in. To fight a war that began millennia ago, to protect a world that should have been protecting them. Having no choice, but making one anyway.

Listen. This is my FAVORITE. Pre-Calamity Zelink Fic of all time: my favorite version of “man of few words” Link, plus slow burn, plus quirky & intelligent Zelda, plus deep canon compliance and it is. By FAR the most satisfying. I’ve read it twice and plan many more times (also Link talks back to Roham and it is so so delicious)
