Summary
When he was first appointed as the Princess’ guard, Link did not know what lay ahead. Top of his class, and widely considered the most capable swordsman in Hyrule, he assumed that he would live a comfortable life following the Princess around until she became the Queen, if his retirement did not come first. What he did not expect was the extraordinary and all-consuming adventure that came to be.
And it all began with the words, "Oh, Link. I'm home."
(Or, Link finally starts to realise how he feels about Zelda after she returns from what he assumed would be an eternal fate as a dragon. Brave enough to save Hyrule (twice), but not enough to confront his feelings head-on.)

Summary
What happens after a sudden loss?
Retraced memories, last time seeing them, last conversations held. What if the last impression was a sour one?
Messy, so messy. Was it ever not?
The man who sleepwalked one-hundred years, unsure of what he had was ever real, or a figment of his imagination....

Summary
“Thank you Link, Hero of Hyrule.”
Her voice flows over him, filling him the way it had so many times since he first heard it in the Shrine of Resurrection. He forces himself to look at the princess he fought so hard to retrieve.
She lowers her head, clasping her hands against her chest. “May I ask…do you really remember me?”
She meets his eyes again, and something inside of him cracks. With pity. With pain. Because, as he stares at Princess Zelda, descendant of the goddess, the one who has guided him and called to him all this time, he knows he is about to break her heart.
Because he does not remember her at all.
----
After the defeat of Calamity Ganon, Link and Zelda set off to unite Hyrule, despite the fact that Link does not have his memories, and Zelda is still recovering from her imprisonment in the castle. Along the way, they wrestle with their relationships with each other, themselves, and the people they want to protect.
This story serves as a loose connection between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, exploring the relationship between Link and Zelda in the wake of disaster.

Summary
Neither Link or Zelda had a chance to respond before the mummy held its hands over its chest and gathered the smoke-like gloom that seeped from its chest. With a guttural roar, it raised its arms. The gloom surged upwards and violently collided with the cavern ceiling above.
Zelda could only stare in horror before the ground cracked underneath her feet. She gasped, stumbled back, and fell backward. Link jumped after her, face twisted in panic and pain, and reached out to her with his damaged arm. They just brushed fingertips before Zelda felt herself come to an abrupt stop in the air, and Link fell past her. He twisted in the air, trying to grab onto her outstretched arm, but to no avail.
“Link!” Zelda screamed, watching in horror as Link tumbled into the depths below, swallowed by the darkness.
After that, she felt a tug on her arm, and the world went white.
——————
Or: a TOTK AU in which neither Link or Zelda are sent back in time. Instead, Link is trapped in the Depths with a corrupted arm, and Zelda is brought to the Great Sky Island by Rauru, tasked with saving Hyrule and finding Link before he's overtaken by gloom.- Language:

Summary
“We never discussed ground rules,” Zelda said matter-of-factly. “And we really should have.”
Link didn’t say anything, waiting for her to continue.
“Obviously, no one can know it’s a ruse,” Zelda said. “If anyone finds out, my father will call off his blessing, and both of us will be back to square one.”
Link nodded.
Zelda suddenly felt too warm, and she decided to shuffle over to her desk, which was a good distance from Link, and dig around for a piece of paper and a quill. “It’ll be good for us to write it out,” she said, more for herself than for Link, who sat on the other side of her desk expectantly.
Why did he look like he was waiting to get marching orders? Like he might have been almost eager for it?
She focused on writing out the first rule. “Rule number one, no one can know.” She penned the words carefully. “We have to look genuinely head over heels for each other.”
