Summary
Link learns about his past, his childhood, his heritage. Somehow nobody knows why Link is the only Hylian (no explanation for real?) with the Triforce clearly visible on the back of his hand (come on, Nintendo) living in a treehouse in a small village at the edge of the kingdom. And nobody knows about his family either. OoT Link shares a similar fate, but at least we know his mom took him in care of the Kokiri before she (most likely) passed away. I know, the TP manga has its own plot about this, but I like to share my own fiction, too :D Also some Link/Ilia hints. Or more like obvious stuff. Take it or leave it. I you don't like (or even hate) their „relationship“ (because of her bossy attitude) you should skip that fanfiction.

Summary
The events leading up to the destruction of the Gerudo are a mystery, even to the history books. All they know is that the curse finally took hold of Ganondorf and he destroyed everything. So why is Link having dreams about a city he’s never seen, of a place that couldn’t possibly exist? Rusl thinks it’s a blessing, but Link wonders if it’s actually a curse. The more he travels across Hyrule, the clearer the picture becomes, but there comes a point where he has to decide what to do with that information. He can pretend as much as he’d like, but one way or another, history always has a way of repeating itself.
OR, the Ganonlink mummy au no one asked for.

Summary
They say the heat makes people crazy. Deep in an economic depression, the simmering civil unrest reaches a fever pitch on Summertide in Castleton when the Yiga cause a citywide blackout. When Link offers to accompany Zelda to check on her ailing father, he quickly finds he has more to worry about than the dark when rioters flood the streets and a killer takes advantage of the chaos to make a final sacrifice to the Old Gods.
Zelda gapes at the blackness beyond the window of Romani's. Suddenly it feels like she’s floating in some dark cloud, not high above a city that should be filled with the glow of lights and neon. Five minutes pass, then ten, then fifteen, but no sign of the lights coming back on. The quiet murmur begins to pick up to a light chatter and then to animated talking in the restaurant.
The first was Revali on Summertide. The next was Urbosa on Autumntide. Then on Wintertide was Daruk. Mipha was last on Springtide. Rusl wonders who might be so unlucky to face Calamity tonight. The fierce look in Mipha's little brother's eyes and the way they demanded that somebody DO SOMETHING haunt Rusl even in the waking hours.

Summary
A land that the goddesses no longer look over. A world that is wracked by monsters, a darkness that has infected their land and their people. Hyrule has forgotten their truths, their virtues, and their balance. The death of their guardian tree has led the lands astray and the people need heroes to arise once more and set things on the correct course once more. Fate itself has splintered; Link, Zelda, Melo and many others will help to put the pieces back together.

Summary
It’s because she loved you” Saria said, answering his question. “And you didn’t abandon her, out of your own will. You fought to defend your home from a looming threat. You did what you thought was best for her safety. Because you also did it out of love”.
Link grasps her hand tightly, like he wanted to feel her warm but also to reassure himself that this was real. What she said was real. Because, deep down he knew that Saria would never lie for something like this.
“I didn’t deserved her” he could only said in the end.
“You deserved her. You did everything you could for this land and her and everyone you care about. And she manage to provide you with a peaceful and quiet life. A life that would not be possible without you”.
“Don’t you think that you also deserve some rest after everything you have done?”.
(Or Hero's Spirit get a visitor, sometime after he return to the Lost forest and after learning something he decided to return back to LOn Lon ranch and got a first meeting with his descendant and future hero of Twilight).
