Summary
Months after Calamity Ganon's defeat at the hands of the Princess and the Master Sword's chosen hero, Hyrule is approaching something resembling peace. That is, until Link and Zelda go missing following a disastrous archaeological expedition.
Meanwhile, in Domino City, Japan: a dimensional domain emulator belonging to one Kaiba Seto abruptly self-destructs, causing an explosion that catches Mutou Yuugi and his friends in the crossfire and sends them all hurtling into the fields of Hyrule. Unexpected? Yes. Unforeseen? Maybe not.
Yu-Gi-Oh! DM/Zelda BotW isekai crossover
NEW CHAPTER, "Icarus Descending": In which Yuugi responds to an S.O.S; Ganondorf fights spectres of his past; Kaiba, Zelda and Anzu help the Twinmold perform its final duty; and the earth is born in the heavens as the moon is born on the earth.

Summary
Years after the events of Battle City, Kawai Shizuka is accepted after a longshot application to Empire State University's pre-med track. She joins Mazaki Anzu and the Kaiba brothers, who have all long since begun their own exciting new lives in New York City.
Though they've left all the cursed artefacts and god-battles in their past, it was only a matter of time before trouble would find them again. This time, the trouble comes in the form of Mokuba's lab partner at ESU: one brilliant, scatter-brained, good-hearted disaster of a human being named Peter Parker. Some people are particularly sticky where chaos is concerned.

Summary
“What will you do, when you go back to Egypt?” Isono deflects, taking the coward’s way out.
Immediately, Rishid volleys back: “What will you do when Kaiba has no more need of you?”
“I don’t like to think about it,” Isono says.

A glancing point of contact between two men who don't know where they stand, because to know it would be to change it.

Summary
Mai freezes in place, crouched down in front of the sorry corpse, arms around her knees. She can’t make herself turn around to face whatever horror has strangled the life from a warehouse full of bodies.
“Don’t kill me,” she gasps, a sound just as broken and piteous as that corpse's last whimper, just as futile. She’d never thought she would plead at the end; turns out there’s nothing like imminent death to wake up the part of your brain that desperately wants to be alive after all.
But death doesn’t come.
And it doesn’t come.
And in the third minute of death not coming, another sound breaks the silence behind her- Don’t, a small voice repeats in a whisper. Don’t - kill - me - but the syllables are strange, thickly awkward, like they’re unfamiliar to the mouth speaking them.
Mai realizes that after months of speaking only in English, her last words had somehow slipped out in Japanese.
A hopelessly adrift Kujaku Mai is on a mission to prove that she's worthy of the Seal of Orichalcos. Her very first assignment leaves her with the world's most unnerving houseguest: A woman with white hair, blue eyes, and the ability to rip human beings apart with her mind. Mai/Kisara

Summary
When the buzzer in Jounouchi’s flat goes off at midnight, he’s not sure what to expect. The only people who ever drop by unannounced are Honda and Anzu. Anzu has a key and doesn’t need the buzzer, and Honda only comes at ungodly hours of the morning to clean his apartment and lecture him the entire time while Jounouchi watches TV in a half-awake stupor.
“Hello?” Jounouchi says into the receiver.
“Hello,” a soft voice returns.
A pause.
“Bakura? The hell are you doing here at midnight?”
Bakura is silent for a moment, and then: “Do you like shrimp?”
No one's seen Bakura Ryou in person in months, the only proof of life being a few scattered texts. Until he randomly shows up at Jounouchi's apartment, in the dead of night, carrying a plastic bag full of shrimp. Jounouchi had never expected to be selected as the bridge between Bakura and what seems like the rest of human society, but he's not complaining: being adopted by a very polite feral cat is an honour of the highest magnitude, and Jounouchi intends to try his best.

Summary
In the midst of a number of life changes, Yuugi visits a city he hasn't been to since childhood. It's not exactly a coincidence that he runs into Ryou Bakura while he's there, but considering that they haven't seen each other in years, but when Ryou invites him over for dinner, Yuugi can't help but feel that this evening was meant to be.
Ryou put his elbows on the table, hands loosely folded around his glass. “Maybe to you,” he said, “It feels good, being with people you can share your memories with.”
“Not for you.”
“Not for me."

Summary
It was inevitable. Inevitable that Yugi would fall in love with Atem, the spirit he shared his very mind and body with. It was inevitable that he would one day have to fulfil his duty. The duty of helping the Pharaoh restore his memories, to end the 3000 year struggle. To face Atem in the ceremonial duel.
The story continues, but an unforeseen consequence of the ceremonial duel has a profound affect on Yugi's soul. Something that neither Yugi or Atem could have predicted. Yugi is left to try and pick up the pieces, to rebuild himself in the aftermath. Atem is left with a dilemma, knowing that his choices will lead to lasting consequences for both of them. Those choices will extend beyond solely themselves, with an unforeseen equation coming into the fray, complicating everything for Yugi.
