    The Wondrous Sword of Legend by ,

    Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, Linked Universe - jojo56830 (Webcomic)

    Summary

    “Well,” the boy said to it as the sun dipped closer to the trees, “your hero didn't show up yet, but I bet they're coming! I bet they're real nice, too. You’re probably going to save the world together.”

    He was borrowing it. He was borrowing the Sword of Legend, and… what, checking in to see if it was needed? Waiting for a hero to come for it?

    It wasn’t sure what to think. It wasn’t supposed to think about its wielders. But it found itself looking forward to the stories, keeping an eye out while the boy slept, memorizing as much of the information he gave it as it could.

    Its job was to protect the innocent, after all.

     

    Or: Hyrule finds a sword. The sword has opinions about this.

    Coloring Inside the Lines by

    Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild  

    15 Feb 2022

    Tags
    Summary

    “How do you feel?” the Zora pressed after a very long moment, rocking forward just a little, eyes wide with worry. Her hands and arms were painted in soul paint of varying shades and colors, all plainly visible in her loose outfit. There was one particular streak of grass green on one of her palms, one that felt somehow intimately familiar.

    Link blinked at her, and discovered that his mouth didn’t want to speak the way hers did. His hands moved to do it instead, as if on instinct. I feel tired. What happened? Where are we?

    “We’re in the Shrine of Resurrection,” the Gerudo interrupted, sweeping in beside the Zora and setting a firm hand on her arm. Her eyes were narrow and uncompromising, though still, Link thought, warm. There was a child-sized smear of bright sunshine yellow soul paint on her cheek, and just a few scattered over her hands. “It’s no wonder you feel tired, you’ve been through quite an ordeal. But it’s time to get back to work.”

    Link blinked at her, blankly bemused.

    Who are you? he asked, in signs he seemed to recall only as he used them.

    Hylian Lavender by

    Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild  

    13 Feb 2021

    Summary

    Zelda remembers how Link looked during their run to Fort Hateno: bone white with pain, fingers trembling even as he stayed on his feet and on his guard, rigid with tension and determination. Zelda had worried constantly, not just about her kingdom but about him, about the rips in his clothes and the burns starting to litter his skin, the way he refused to let go of his sword. By the end she had started to wonder how he was still conscious.

    The way he looked now, it reminded her vividly of those terrible days.

    Summary

    The first fight against the Calamity leaves Link permanently disabled, in constant pain, and dogged with nightmares and insecurity. The second fight has fewer permanent effects, but when it still leaves him all but bedridden for weeks, Zelda goes to Impa for help while he recovers.

    Link doesn't want to. Impa has never been there for him before, so why should now be any different?

    Summary

    One of the first places Link takes Zelda after the fall of the Calamity is to Kakariko, where Impa has been waiting for her for a very, very long time. He can't bring himself to stick around for more than a few minutes, and he's not entirely sure why Zelda thinks he would.

    Impa is not his friend.

    Summary

    It turns out that the death of the Calamity doesn't prevent more things from falling apart.

    A year after the fall of Calamity Ganon, eighteen year old Link goes back in time to before the end of the world, before the fall of Hyrule, before he ever even drew his sword, and starts to fix things before they can go wrong. It takes a while before he realizes he might be able to regain pieces of himself, too.

    Summary

    Zelda just wants one night to herself. Everything in the castle is constantly out of her control, with her royal duties being the last of her worries when the world is in a constant state of chaos. She just wants one night of relaxation with a good book, one she hates to admit is romance but yearns for the words written on the pages nonetheless. She is lonely, painfully so, committing the scenes she reads to memory as if she'd ever get the chance to be intimate with someone. When her loyal bodyguard interrupts a particularly heated moment, however, the idea of company is too good to let go to waste, and she lets herself take a bold step forward in their relationship.

    Summary

    Link is three years old when he kills his first monster, he’s fifteen when he becomes Princess Zelda’s knight, he’s seventeen when he dies. This is the tale of the in between times. A story of loneliness, grief, tragedy, and friendship, told through the eyes of a terrified hero.

    Or

    I thought too much about what might’ve been going on pre calamity and accidentally wrote a short novel instead of a oneshot. Expect angst, sadness, and some cute friendship moments that might end up making the ending we all know even sadder.

    Summary

    Those like you, those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero, they are eternally bound to this curse. An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time.

    This is the curse that has bound Link's soul to Zelda's bloodline, to Hyrule, and to malice for thousands of years. It is through this curse that he is born again, and again, and again, the same soul worn down into something harder and more serious with every passing generation. With every evil that Link defeats, he grows wearier and more determined, and by all rights that should be the end of it.

    Then a portal through time opens, from one Master Sword chamber to another. And Ocarina meets another Link for the first time.

    Four years later, Wild's portal finally opens, and as a collective they decide that this curse needs to be cut off... before it gets any worse than it had for Wild.
