    Summary

    After four adventures Link had already lost too many people. After his fifth, he lost another. When the fissures connecting Hyrule and Lorule closed, both their heroes mourned. Then a new fissure appeared.

    This is a story about the development of Link and Ravio’s relationship, both platonic and romantic, as they both settle into a quieter life and come to terms with what they have endured. Together, perhaps the scars of their pasts will not just fade but heal.

    While the Link featured in this is based on Legend from Linked Universe, LU will not actually happen. It will likely go beyond when he would have joined the chain, so you can think of this as a what-if Link got to retire instead of becoming Legend.

    Summary

    Link fights.
    And fights.
    And fights.
    Is he even useful anymore?
    Is fighting all he can truly do?
    Link's job is, and he suspects never will be, finished.
    Or
    Link thinks he a tool to be used and discarded, Sidon disagrees
    (Could be platonic or romantic)

    Summary

    Four tries, "Does it count if it's only like twenty-five percent of me?"

    "YES!" Twilight shouts exasperatedly, finally reaching his limit and throwing his hands to the heavens, "The normal amount of wanting to kill yourself is ZERO!"

    That cannot possibly be true.

    Summary

    Prompt: Above all else, what Link needs most is kindness.

     

    No, Ravio and Link were not perfect. Still, they were real, and Ravio would not give up his mirror, come hell or high water. He had earned the right to call Link his, and would keep that right if he had anything to say about it.

    Summary

    The small wood with the shrine rising up in the center could barely be called a wood, more a copse or thicket at best. But the shrine provided a haven for Link. A place to rest, recover, and determine his next steps...

     

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.
    And miles to go before I sleep.

    Summary

    Link has always loved bugs. Finding them, admiring them, caring for them. Something about the way they shimmer in the light is just...captivating.
    Zelda...does not. She would much rather be among ancient artifacts, restoring them and seeing what made them tick.
    So when both are assigned to the art wing of the Greater Hyrule Museum of Histories and Natural Science, it comes as quite a shock. Both were perfect applicants at the top of their classes, there should be no reason neither was granted their requested position. The two quickly form a rivalry, fighting for approval from the directors in hopes of transferring to somewhere preferred. (and without the other...) Will they learn to get along? Who knows.

    Link and Zelda are both new volunteers at the same museum, but neither are assigned to their preferred area of interest within said museum. Mishaps, chaos, kissing, trauma, all the fun stuff. (Link and Zelda's ages are not specified, so imagine they're somewhere in high school. Just know they are the same age.)

    Summary

    Ten (or is it twelve?) Links, one by one, join up to fight against a mysterious evil wreaking havoc on the timeline. Not even Hylia herself knows what’s truly going on.

    Part one: An Adventurer reunites with his old friend, the Wolf happy to see him again. A Sailor falls from the clouds, his pendant not making a single sound.

    ———
    Your classic Links meet AU! (that started out as a Linked Universe AU but spiraled out of control—none of these boys are like their LU counterparts really, and the line up is different as well, however a lot of inspiration is drawn from the LU fandom).

    5-11-2025: Got a beta (Lilyhatesthenumber4 on Tumblr), and all previous chapters have been edited and improved upon. :)

    Summary

    When half the chain is taken out by a spell, the others have to do their best to protect them (and stop panicking. Maybe that should be their first task-wait. Wild was caught up in the spell? Who's going to cook?!).

    Warriors is doing his best as surrogate leader, but wrangling the other Links takes more effort than it should (please return quickly, Time).
    Legend just wants this adventure to end already. And for Hylia to stop existing, please and thank you.
    Four wants to release his inner demons (literally. Please, let them get somewhere he can split before he goes mad).
    Wind is just enjoying the chaos.
    Sky is...is he actually sleeping through this?!
    Time, Twilight, Hyrule, and Wild are...indisposed.

    Summary

    What up bitches, bros, and my fellow nonbinary hoes!!! I created this book based on the popular game Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom!!! Now if you have played the game you will know that Link (the hero) gets rescued and revived by an ancient zonai spirit named Rauru. Rauru proceeds to help Link enter the Temple of Time, so he can find Zelda. And that is the last we see of Rauru, but what if instead of leaving Link alone to fend for himself he appointed someone to accompany him? What if Link partnered up with the last living Zonai in Hyrule? What if that Zonai was tall and handsome? (Just kidding…..or am I?) There are so many questions yet so few answers. So, I made my own! Also my writing skills suck.

    Summary

    We don’t like to admit it, but waking up like that, on the sky island, alone, had to have been so hard for Link.

    A short ficlet describing how that whole scene felt to me, while I’m restarting the game, again.

    Summary

    “It’s too much,” Link admits. “It’s too much all at once.” I don’t know how to deal with this, he does not say. He doesn’t have to, not when the silence overpowers the layout of the area and the house is forever one chair empty, a family portrait that will never be complete anymore.

    Link buries his head into his arms, ears pinned back and shoulders tense. “I want things to return to how they used to be.” The words are rasped out, as if they are something to be ashamed of. “Before that cursed island, before the Oracles, and before Agahnim.”

    Nima has nothing to say to that last sentence, for she knows nothing about going on adventures or being a hero, nothing about fighting or having the weight of a whole kingdom rest on your shoulders, or the sacrifices needed to be made to ensure everyone’s safety. She hates how she has no words of comfort or advice to offer.

    or, Nima is not blind to how Link struggles after his travels. She can't watch as he deteriorates, as the sweet young boy he once was is washed away with someone unfamiliar and haunting. One day, she approaches him with the promise of company and a shoulder to lean on, and can only hope it's enough.
