Link dressed in his old shirt with a boko bow on his back and cheeks puffed out due to a whole mushroom skewer's worth of food in his mouth.  He also looks kind of anxious.

    Summary

    The Kingdom of Hyrule has been usurped by the Demon King Ganondorf, but Princess Zelda refuses to officially cede her throne to the monster who killed her family, landing her in the castle dungeons. There, she meets her cell-mate, an injured young soldier named Link whose blatant defiance matches her own. Keeping her identity hidden from him becomes harder as they grow closer, a dangerous situation that Ganondorf could use against them to finally break the Princess' spirit and gain the throne.

    Summary

    Her eyes are as green as Faron’s forests, and they glisten with tears.

    “Do…Do you really remember me?” she asks, her voice shaking as she begs, “Please, please say that you do.”

    Link stares at her, at this beautiful girl he only remembers in thirteen fragments, and shakes his head. He doesn’t remember that much about himself, but he knows that he’s not a liar. “Not all of you, Princess.”

    Something in her face changes, her eyebrows on the verge of furrowing. “Princess?”

    Frowning, Link nods. “Princess Zelda. I…I am getting your name right, right?”

    Right? He doesn’t remember hearing it that much in his memories but it’s what Rhoam said on the Great Plateau, that his daughter is Princess Zelda and that he had to save her as soon as possible-

    “Is it?” she asks. “My…My name is Princess Zelda?”

    “What…” he trails off. “What do you mean? You don’t…You don’t know your own name?”

    OR

    Link finally saves Zelda from Calamity Ganon's clutches, desperate for her to tell him who he is. It turns out she doesn't know him, either.

    Summary

    He is ancient, too, he knows. It’s all anyone says about him anymore. No one he remembers meeting on his initial quest recognizes him except for Impa, Purah, and the Sages. Maybe it’s because his arm is not his arm and all that was ever important about him was that there was a special sword in his hand, because he isn’t following three steps behind the Princess whenever she shows her face in public, because he’s nothing but a legend to the kingdom he died to protect a hundred and some years ago, fading away with the passage of time.

    OR

    Link's arm is not his arm. Zelda is not his Zelda. He struggles to reconcile when both are returned to normal.

    OR OR

    A during and post-totk fic where I explore Link's disconnect from Rauru's arm, and his emotional state after learning the truth about the Light Dragon.
