Like a River's Flow by gerudo__desert
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Summary
Back then, they stood on opposite sides of a gulf: Zelda resenting the confines of her childhood, Link trying to pick up the shattered pieces of his. Bridging the gap now means building upon grief and unfamiliarity. But she’s spent so long missing him—she’s sick to death of wasted time.
“I’m right here,” she says, sliding her fingers through his. “Will you tell me what happened?”
Fireplace shadows flicker over his bandaged face. Maybe he’ll refuse. Zelda remembers Epona’s hooves kicking up dust, his proud green tunic disappearing behind the crest of a hill. Maybe all hope for their future died that day—or maybe time and tragedy only helped it grow.
Link’s answer comes slowly, like drawing venom from a wound. “Well,” he murmurs, tightening his grip on her hand, “I got lost.”
The hero searches for something he’ll never regain, the princess becomes a queen, and fate gives them a second chance.

Summary
She asks if he remembers her.
He doesn’t answer.
There is quiet longing between them in moments when they are alone that Link still cannot place. He thinks he needs time but Hyrule won’t grant them peace. Especially not when there is a kingdom to rebuild and the Blood Moon still rises. But Link doesn’t want to rebuild, he just wants-
(Or, Breath of the Wild 1.5 for those who are tired of waiting.)

Summary
Mottled red claims every visible inch of Link's skin. His mouth is open and horrified, breath wheezing in desperate gasps she last heard the day he died. His eyes—his eyes are the hardest part, the sclerae pitch black, the irises chewed up by acidic yellow.
Neither of them move. Neither of them look away. Tears roll down her cheeks, just as gloom drips from his. And for the first time since Zelda woke at Lookout Landing, the world crystallizes around her.
She made it home, and home is barely recognizable.

Summary
By the time he opened his eyes, he wanted to burn the world down. He wanted to take her place. He wanted to tear apart everything that had ever hurt her: with this sword or any other, with his own teeth and nails if necessary. Better yet, he wanted to be back in their bed the morning before it had all gone wrong, when he still had a chance to keep her safe.
But some failures could never be undone. Link had learned that while kneeling in the sunlit waters of the Ash Swamp, remembering his own death.

Bookmarker's Notes
Best line: Over a century ago, Zelda had collapsed in the ashes of their burning kingdom and told him she’d sacrificed her childhood for nothing. He could not let the same be true of her humanity.

Summary
“Link! You’re hurt!”
“I’m fine, Sid—”
“In the mouth of a demon dragon? Absolutely not, you were nearly crunched!” Sidon whirls around. “Quickly! Does somebody have a healing elixir for His Majesty?”
His Majesty.
His Majesty.
And that’s when Zelda realizes—it’s not her Sidon and the Royal Guard are addressing.
It’s Link.

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.

Summary
When Sophie’s son was born he didn’t cry and his skin was the dusty hue of blue nightshade after it’s been hung up to dry.
Sophie was determined she’d make the most of the time she had with him and nurture his spirit as best she could. She’d instill in him the kindness and compassion that his father possessed. Tucked away in the rolling foothills of the Lanayru Mountain range, she would shield him from the harsh realities of the world outside for as long as possible.

She looked down at their daughter. The protector of the realm, the one who would purge the great Calamity and return peace to all of Hyrule, was sleeping soundly against her chest. No other name would do. It was tragically, inarguably perfect.
“Zelda,” the Queen declared.

“Is this a dream?” he asks. “Or a memory?”
“I don’t know,” Zelda says, and winks conspiratorially at him. “Maybe it’s a premonition.” Then she offers him a wildberry, and he leans forward and eats it right out of her fingers.
After rescuing Zelda from the Calamity, Link decides to remember her.
