Hey, I'm looking for Zelda Breath of the Wild fanfiction that follows Link not just before the calamity, but also before he becomes Zelda's personal knight.

I really wanna find a glimpse into Link's life as a regular knight/soldier, I don't mind if there's romance, but I'd rather any romance to be secondary.

I've always imagined Link being a lot more expressive and talkative before becoming Zelda's personal knight (I mean, look how expressive he became in his dialogue options >!after losing his memory!<) , and I've always wanted to know what his relationships with townsfolk and other soldiers were like.

So anyway, if anyone has anything like that, I'd be super grateful!
Thanks!

Hi searching for a Fic where link and Zelda have a child before the calamity and it is hidden away , and after the calamity they remember the child and then try to find her but she is a old lady in lulerin village and has a family

I remember reading this fic that started with the story of Links parents having him and their ensuing exile because they were part of the guard and having kids was not allowed.

After that it shows how Link was raised in the castle and him pulling the master sword out of a rock at a royal party.

Then he becomes completely mute after a misunderstanding with the king that he is to not speak whatsoever that makes of the conflict of the rest of the story.

It’s was either on ao3 or wattpad and I think it had either the word dawn or dusk in the name if I’m not mistaken. Thank you so much!

Hey! I made a fanfic that has an OC in it. The story follows Pre-Botw, with the memories (SO SPOILERS) and some in between chapters.

I'm looking for a fic I read around the time TotK came out. It's a goofy story about how the people of Hyrule only remember Link for all of the ridiculous things he did in BotW. Link escorts Zelda across Hyrule and the people they encounter as they travel insist on telling Zelda and her knight stories about when they met the Hero of Hyrule. They don't realize that the serious stoic knight sitting right next to them is the guy they're talking about. Zelda is just slowly coming to terms with the fact that Link is utterly insane anytime he's out of her direct line of sight. Did anyone else read this? I can't find it in my ao3 history.

I don't know how but I came across some images of the LU comic and found about the concept of all the different Links together. The joys of fanfiction amirite. And I am suddenly super interested. I love this kind of massive gathering, Avengers style.

I'm the kind of person that will go out of the way to consume all related content just to get the maximum feelings when all the main characters come together. So far, I've been youtubing walkthroughs of the zelda games release order. Just finished TW and Spirit Tracks. Didn't really do the Four Swords games though, was getting burnt out on the 2D hahaha.

Can I make do without knowing the games of the four swords, minish cap link? Also, I do want to play botw/totk one day when I get a switch. Will I be spoiled for those if I read LU?

This is not regarding any specific ship, but which goddess of the 4 major ones in the series, Din, Nayru, Farore, and Hylia, is most likely to have the urge to scream 'just kiss already' to her favorite ship/couple?

All opinions are valid, I am just taking what amounts to a poll. Supportive anecdotes or evidence are accepted.

I’ve read two really great fan fictions of Breath of the Wild:

• Calm Waters Run Deep, which is essentially a novelization the cutscenes in BotW, masterfully connecting them all together from Zelda’s POV.
• The BotW Novelization by The Zed of Ages. A >400,000 word masterpiece that I thought did a really great job.

I was wondering if you all have any recommendations for novelizations of other games, that really capture the essence/spirit of the game.

For example, do you know of any excellent novelizations of:

• Ocarina of Time?
• Majora’s Mask?
• Twilight Princess?
• Skyward Sword?
• Wind Waker?
• Link’s Awakening?

I feel like all of these have really good story material.

I loved the BotW novelization done by The Zed of Ages (it’s on Ao3 if you haven’t read it - highly recommend). It had great plot and character development, matched the game really well, and had a great and non-smutty ZeLink romantic arc.

So, I was wondering if any of the writers out there were working on a TotK novelization with the same goals? (Character development, plot development, matches the game, good romantic ZeLink arc without smut.)

Or, is the legendary Zed of Ages writing a TotK novelization? (If you’re reading this, please do.)

Maybe I'm just something akin to a contrarian, but I've read way too many comics where Zelda simps over Ganon, and now sometimes Sidon. So I was thinking about flipping the script and writing a piece set in ocarina of time where after Zelda sends Link back she watches in dejected horror as Link gets closer to Malon, eventually the two marrying and Zelda going through some existential and internal termoil. Has anyone done a fic like this?

I swear the name was Light of Hyrule or Hyrule's Light, but I can't find it. It was one where Link and Zelda wake up in the Shrine of Resurrection together with no memory. Strangely, I found a fic recently that felt very similar, but it didn't have the same name, and it didn't have near as many chapters. It went all the up to Death Mountain when I lost track of it, and I'm having a hard time finding it again.

Looking for a Proofreader that can check grammar and story structure. Anyone interested? You can be as harsh as you want, anything to help the quality of my story.

So this post is simply to ask people about this. So this version of link is a female and lives under her mother and her aunt who is the descendant of nabooru, the sage of spirit. Link I want to have a gerudo sword but I don't know realistically in a modern day hyrule what gerudo blade you'd give link. As for zelda, I wanna make her the most badass variant. She's not a damsel in distress and is kinda like tetra in that she's always badass and always sassy. She's very nice and sweet to people but has a tendency to snark. This zelda will basically look like her outfit at the start of tears of the kingdom with a cape. Only reason I ask what their starting inventory is, is because I want this story to be very cool.

Hi everyone,

​

I'm curious about Two things:

​

One:

​

I plan on writing a fanfic within the BotW world that is based in a time period 1000+ years in the future after the first calamity (TotK does not happen in this, but something else both slightly similar and yet unrelated). No, it’s not futuristic, it’s still mostly medieval fantasy since other events have happened that kept setting back scientific advancements, which are mostly (to a degree, somewhat incompletely) chronicled over time.

​

Since it’s very distant in the future, naturally the things that happened during Calamity era are, over generations, distilled into mythology and ancient history with much of the information lost to other races, yet substantially preserved (in an occult manner) by the shiekah (as you'd expect).

​

So, as naturally as the prior, a lot of the characters will be mainly OCs, but the big one is, the protagonist won’t be Link...But be 'a' Link...Kind of. (I mean most heroic protags in other media and stories are pretty much the 'Links' of their story, hence the 'kind of'.)

​

It’s kind of an isekai from a fictional/alternative counterpart of our world (protag) if that interests you/turns you off. No he is not a wishy nerd with insane luck, but more like someone who has some...shall we say, qualifications.

​

​

And the second thing which is split into two questions:

​

On which website do you read your LoZ fiction and which website do you think LoZ fiction has a larger audience?

​

I looked at FFnet but it looks kinda...lonely, not that there aren't fandoms with even less readers, LoZ just doesn't seem to have a solid reader base there.

​

Thanks for reading/answering.

So i've been thinking about writing a legend of zelda story set in modern day. I know that people would be against it especially since I'm making this link a girl but yeah. I'm gonna ask everyone what they think a modern day link and princess zelda would be personality wise? For me I think this link would be alot more self-conscious and she'd be pretty smart but impulsive and zelda would be that nice popular kid at school.

Context: Ever since I was a kid, I've always liked Young Link. I never liked 'growing up' in Ocarina of Time and as a six year old I cried when he got turned into a Deku Scrub in Majora's Mask. Now that I'm older, I guess it's because I love working with children and studying child development and because the games have been a huge part of my life (next to religion). And to be honest he's my comfort character. I've written fan fiction and drawn fan art (including art for the fan fics) and someone on another social media had me wondering if maybe it's coming across as bad because this person asked me (in regards to my art about a fan fic) why I don't mention the adult Links very often and said its weird for me to be so fixated on Young Link and asked if I was something that hurt alot that I don't want to repeat. I have a fan fiction that won't be posted online, it's just me as Young Link's mother and the journey of re uniting and growing up in Hryule (an AU if you will) I don't think I can unlike him but if it's coming across that way, I might have to change what I put online as I want to avoid anything that seems even remotley bad. In case anyone is wondering I NEVER write or draw NSFW content. Thoughts and opinions are appreciated! :)

For one: I’ll remove the secret-stone, demon king cutscene that plays at the end of every temple.

I was so irritating, that I skipped all of them during my initial playtrough in sheer annoyance!

Like Link has to acknowledge that something is so annoying since he heard this same conversation six times now!!! Often times repeating the obvious with no differences.

I always felt the sages could have said about their culture before, the personal history of the sage. This could have been used for so much ancient cool lore instead of SECRET STONE DEMON KING!

Number two:

There should be consequences for the people in these games instead of resetting.

There should be a lack of food and some issues with the Rito after the snowstorm, or the Gorons dealing with withdrawal symptoms from drug addiction instead of everything being wiped clean.

Number three:

Give a prologue of what happened to the Sheikah tech, or at least something to explain things what happened to the guardians.

It was established that Vah Ruta stopped working, and have it established that all the guardians stopped moving when Calamity Ganon was destroyed.

With this it won’t make everything seem forgotten, and you could add Sheikah tech as we could see Purah use some parts of the old scrapped tech to make her aging device.

Despite this rant, I have to admit that TOTK is an amazing game. Though the storyline had so much to be improved since I felt like the story structure of BOTW was a detriment to the game.

These are my thoughts of how I’ll change the games story in fanfiction, I’m curious as to your thoughts on my changes and your thoughts and ideas of adding changes to the storyline in your respective stories.

I had this idea ever since I wrote the Linked Universe prompt a few weeks ago where the chain has to accept a chaos worshipper Link who follows the chaos gods of Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh.

This has given rise to a unique notion where Link and Zelda wholeheartedly embrace chaos, worshipping and following it while engaging in acts of brutality for what they believe to be the true gods. And if you know anything about Warhammer and chaos, followers will do the most horrific things; such as mass bloodshed, lies/trickery/sorcery, diseased alive, and extreme hedonism. As a chaos champion is more bloodthirsty and greedy than Ganondorf is at his worst, especially if they are a follower of Slaanesh.

I'm curious just what Ganondorf would do or be like in this hypothetical scenario and how Demise's curse would be in effect, since both Link and Zelda do actions against people that are worse than Ganondorf?

​

​

- Just for fun, how do you think each of the nine heroes from LU would react and deal with this Link. A chaos champion and worshipper of all four chaos gods? As Time, Sky, Legend, Four, Wind, Wild, Warriors, Twilight, and Hyrule react to this new Link spouting and seeing his actions of Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull throne! While praising each chaos god.

Every action this new Link took was in service of the four chaos gods! While the nine heroes are stuck with him thanks to the goddesses.
