    Summary

    She shouldn’t have looked. Zelda can’t stop chastising herself for it afterwards, cursing herself for her deadly curiosity.

    Rather than Link impaling a variety of monsters with his silly purple sword, he instead has a very different sword in hand and is certainly not slaying anything with it.

    -

    Zelda accidentally catches an eyeful, gets angry, and then gets even.

    Summary

    When an unexpected light appears after the ceremony in the Sacred Grounds, Zelda has a momentary flash of hope that she's awakened her powers somehow—but she's disappointed and startled when it forms into the shape of a man and a child before disappearing.

    The man immediately stands between them and the little girl, and Zelda is startled to see how familiar he is.

    He looks just like her newly appointed knight. Almost, but not quite: He’s older than he should be, for starters.

    Summary

    To become an immortal dragon is to lose oneself.

    The Demon King has been defeated, but not without a terrible cost.

    After they fall from the sky, Link discovers that Zelda is no longer the princess he once knew. Zelda chose to sacrifice her heart and mind just to give him a fighting chance, and now, in the aftermath of the battle, he must come to terms with what that decision truly means.

    For some sacrifices are not so easily taken back.

    Summary

    Somehow, they made it work.

    (the au where the triforce become a triad; quintessentially just domestic castle scenes.)

    Summary

    “Link! You’re hurt!”

    “I’m fine, Sid—”

    “In the mouth of a demon dragon? Absolutely not, you were nearly crunched!” Sidon whirls around. “Quickly! Does somebody have a healing elixir for His Majesty?”

    His Majesty.

    His Majesty.

    And that’s when Zelda realizes—it’s not her Sidon and the Royal Guard are addressing.

    It’s Link.

    ___

    Six months after the Upheaval, a weakened and dismayed Link appears in Zora's Domain.

    With no sign of Zelda, Impa follows the wish of Hyrule's previous sovereign, and names him king.
