Summary
Sometimes, he called his beauty a curse. And perhaps it was.
(The tale of Narcissus and Echo, but I made it sadder and now it’s about Link and Zelda… it’s still set in Ancient Greece though!)
Please note: Link is NOT a narcissist in this fic. I mixed it up a bit :)

Summary
To put it bluntly, Link hadn’t felt safe a day in his goddesses-damned life.
Right now, soaring miles above the kingdom on the back of the thing that used to be his best friend, out of sight and out of reach of anything that could hope to lay a finger on him, was probably the closest approximation of comfort he had ever experienced.
or: making the dragons rideable was the best change nintendo has ever decided to implement and i have a lot of feelings about it

Three years after the defeat of Majora, Link is now a traumatized and forgotten teenaged drifter, trying to make ends meet after an unceremonial exit from Termina.

Summary
Now, his journey had led him to this moment. Link knew it was inevitable since he needed the sword to seal away Ganon, so he thought he would be prepared for when he found it again, but now that he is standing before it, Link found that he was grossly mistaken. He was trembling profusely, staring at the Master Sword with dead, widened eyes, mouth forming a thin, straight line, and teeth gritting against each other harshly.
He started to back away, his breathing becoming labored. One, two, three steps.
I am not ready, he thought. I am not ready, I am not ready, I am not ready-
Link halted dead in his tracks as a thought flashed through his mind.
Was I ever ready?

Summary
Ganon is dead, so where is she?
Really short and probably not great alternate ending where Zelda was dead the whole time. I wrote this really quickly so if it is awful I apologize, I'm really just trying to get back into writing fanfic.

Summary
He was going back to a place he had never seen before. When he’d shown the eccentric man in Kakariko the way to the fairy fountain he hadn’t thought that this was where the journey had been going. He’d shown the pictures on a whim, not expecting anything to pop up but when the man had recognised the large arches he knew he had to see it.
Maybe Impa was wrong, maybe he would remember nothing and the pictures were useless, only capturing a memory now lost to time. But he had to know. -
