Slap a Band-Aid On It

by liketolaugh

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.

No Love Without Forgiveness

Wounds That Never Heal

by liketolaugh

Link brought a lot of things back with him from the future: ancient weaponry, warnings and foreknowledge, all of his armor and elixirs and stockpiled supplies. All of that was invaluable to the group of survivors working determinedly to reclaim Hyrule from the hands of the encroaching Calamity.He also brought his fear of guardians, and he can't stop looking at the guardian egg's glowing blue eye.

Children Playing at Being Adults

by orphan_account

(Prompt from Tumblr user: Diecasual): Wild gets a big memory dump at the worst time, and the others have to cover for him. During a large battle in Warriors' land, Wild is pulled into his own past, stuck within a memory far preceding his time as Zelda's knight. While he relives memories he had no idea even existed, learning a deeper side to someone he thought he knew well, he's left incapacitated on the battlefield.

Two Ghosts

by gaymatcha

Link and Zelda have finally defeated Calamity Ganon together after over a hundred years. It seems that Hyrule has moved on without her, giving her time to heal from the century-long trauma gifted to her so graciously by Ganon. Link remains by her side, stirring up old emotions as her feelings for her trusty swordsmen only flourish under her newfound freedom. As they begin to travel around Hyrule together, she is able to learn more and more about him, leading her to believe these feelings may not be unrequited. Zelda also vows to be a bit kinder to Link, but that seems to be an even more daunting task than getting Link to fall in love with her too. Post BOTW [ON HIATUS UNTIL I FINISH SCHOOL]

One Thing About You

by thesadpuffin (polarbeararts)

"H-Hello, my name is Zelda. I'm looking forward to starting school here." Gaining confidence, she smiled brightly and continued. "I enjoy studying science and English, and I hope I can get to know you all-' She was interrupted by the door bursting open. Everyone turned to stare at a rather small boy with long-ish blonde hair and blue eyes who had just thrown himself through the door in a hurry. Aliza raised an eyebrow at him, his hair a mess, tie loose and top button undone. "Late on the first day, Link?" He faltered, taking in the scene as he realised he'd not made it in time despite his rush. Zelda frowned a little. He had disrupted her speech which she thought had been going rather well, and for some reason his presence had sent a ripple of giggles and whispers amongst the girls in the classroom. --- Zelda begins high school at a brand-new, highly prestigious private establishment. Hoping for a fresh start where no one can judge her for her father's wealth and fame, things are going pretty well... until she's forced into a tutoring job with that annoyingly popular Link kid.

This Sinking Feeling Now I know it's the Same One That Makes You Rise

by A_Blu_Jay

Impa sighed, sadness washing over her. She could sense grief and love wash over Hyrule, sense five spirits holding so much within their hearts. Of course she knew it was inevitable, sooner or later the light of Hyrule would fade. Ganon fell and so his dire enemy would too. After all, an eye for an eye is the rule of the beasts.____Wind saw all the spirits that trailed after each person in their band of Heroes. Wild's were the most confusing

An Inconvenience

by embyrinitalics

There’s half a skull with protruding horns on his head, and bones and teeth and leathers and swathes of fur and warpaint over the rest of him, but it isn’t his savage-looking armor that’s causing the thrill hammering in her ribcage. It isn’t even the way their bodies are quashed together in the insufferable Faronian heat, chests heaving, as he presses her into the tree bark, shielding her as best he can from the onslaught of wild animals rushing past them in an absolute fury. It’s the look he’s giving her out of the corner of his cutting blue eyes, half-feral, half-incredulous, as if to ask, How is it that you keep getting yourself into so much trouble, and I’m always having to drop everything to come and save you?

To Learn To Feel Alive

by wwwhttps

"His voice, the first time she heard it after all these years, was void of emotion. Was he upset with her? His eyes were still locked onto hers, and it was starting to make her uncomfortable, the way they seemed to look straight through her. Like she wasn't even there."Zelda had been prepared for the Shrine of Resurrection to strip Link of his memories. That much had been written. What she wasn't expecting was for it to strip away something far more vital: his ability to feel emotions. She will do anything in her power to fix him.

Prior Engagements

by Fyreflare

Princess Zelda's hand is pledged to an unknown suitor: the legendary hero who will wield the Sword that Seals the Darkness. Too bad she's fallen head over heels for an anomaly of a knight - who happens to be engaged to Princess Mipha.Surely that won't complicate matters at all.
