Last Surprise by Croliv_writes
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Summary
Her head spins. Every bone and muscle in her body aches. Her magic burns in her veins. Everything is slow – her limbs obeying her sluggishly as she tries to move, rolling onto her side, her thoughts coming back to her. Opening her eyes is a difficult task and for a moment she is blinded by the bright light of the Triforce. Its magic pulses and weaves, slowly dying down until the pieces fade away again – its deed and wish done.
A figure lies on the ground before her and Zelda blinks. It is a man, face turned away from her. His long hair was a fiery orange-red, the tunic he was clad in too big now. Zelda crawls closer and grasps his chin gently, turning his face toward her.
„G-Ganon?“ she whispers softly.

Summary
Campus princess Zelda Daphnes has a reputation for being elegant, untouchable, and perfectly aloof. Ganondorf can't stand the ice queen, and until now, they've never exchanged more than a few glances. But when she shows up at his apartment, asking to join his research study, the two find themselves wrapped up in a daring bet and a risque card game.
The rules are simple: draw three cards and perform the resulting dare on your partner, which could be anything from a simple touch to something far more scandalous. The first to refuse forfeits the bet. Zelda's pride won't let her fold, and Ganondorf refuses to admit defeat, despite the fact that they're both wildly out of their element as the night heats up. What starts as a contest of stubborn wills turns into something far more dangerous as they both begin to realize just how far the other is willing to go to win.

Summary
When Ganondorf inherits a farm from a father he never knew, he immediately makes a deal to sell it for a massive profit. Now, the only thing that stands between him and his goals is the very fierce - and very charming - Zelda.
Zelda, far too cute for the dilapidated fields she still helps tend, insists that he's making a mistake, and she's bound and determined to prove it to him. He decides there can't be any harm in hearing her out.
He's never been more wrong in his entire life.
A Harvest Moon / Stardew Valley style AU. Standalone for now, with plans to become an ongoing series later.

Summary
Amidst the demands of a kingdom clawing at her every waking moment, the Queen of Hyrule seeks refuge in the quiet garden she tends with her own hands, where a rare wedding gift from her husband flourishes. There, among the moonlit blossoms of a flower thought long extinct, the King finds her—unguarded, undone, and radiant with a power that Hyrule never meant for her to hold.

A Study in Chemistry by The_Twilight_Duchess
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
29 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
“I would very much enjoy a chance to… study you, as it were.”
He stared at her silently.
Zelda pressed on, mind already churning with ideas. “I’ve heard so many stories about you, and you sound… well, truly exemplary. It would be only for research purposes, I assure you! My study, that is. And you’d be quite compensated for it.”
His brow rose higher.
“It may take a significant amount of time,” she added quickly. “We can agree upon a rate that you deem satisfactory. There may also be some, um, disrobing, required, but I assure you I am quite a professional and will handle it with the utmost respect!”
Ganondorf snorted. “You want to pay me to take my clothes off and let you handle me?”
The sound that escaped her resembled a drunken keese. “That is not what I said at all!”
“That’s exactly what you said.”
~*~*~*~
Research specialist Zelda Hyrule makes Ganondorf an offer he can't refuse.

Summary
Link must sail alone to restore the power of the sword of evil's bane, and Tetra must wait.
The pirate queen is not used to waiting.
Nor is she entirely certain how to feel about her strange company: a ghostly voice in the amulet stone her mother passed down to her, and a grumpy old sorcerer from Hyrule's past...

But not yet.
First there is a waverat to educate in her own history, and the legacy of the Sacred Maiden and all her bloodline has woven in the world... if he can persuade her to slightly less violence than usual.

Past is Prologue by StudioRat
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
22 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Hyrule has fallen into memory and legend beneath the waves. Those who were warned by the prophecies of Zelda Rainbringer fled to the mountains in that age of storms, and built new lives.
Zelda Iseult DeLeon is a direct descendant of that long-ago refugee Princess, heir to the powers in the bloodline of Hylia, for whatever that's worth to an adjunct professor at one of the better academies on Triardu. Tradition demands little enough in her era -- some pageants and parades on the old holy days, a certain responsibility to maintain the Chronicles for the next generation, a knack for predicting mundane events and a sixth sense about people.
Then the dreams started.
They were easy enough to explain away... at first. Loneliness, longing, the fantasy of The Perfect Lover. Idle romantic fancies. Season by season the dreams escalate in frequency and visceral intensity, until she begins to doubt they are dreams at all. But what else could they be? She confesses troubled sleep to her dearest friend, and the vaguest sketch of the red-haired shadow haunting her restless nights, but no more... until the pressure is too great to bear.

Summary
The campaign for Eldin is going about as well as anyone could expect. Keeping the wolfboy focused on infiltrating the fallen shrines - and only the fallen shrines - without losing more of his blin warriors to Zant's control proves more challenging with every passing week.
The whole army knows by now their King and the besieged Princess are lovers.
Ganondorf finds it difficult to care.
He craves her clever conversation as much as he longs for her gentle hands, and he keeps a growing pile of her precious letters by his pillow.
Zelda waits, watching from her tower as her king and the hero both work in their own way to free her country from the Twilight. Ganondorf is so much of what she hopelessly longed for in a true consort, a match of equals. Complicated and bitter and cagey, but real.
If they can prevail, if they can forge a true alliance, if they can bring Light and Shadow into harmony again, there is hope for tomorrow.
The sun shines once more on Hyrule Castle.
Victory begins to seem possible...

22 Sep 2025

Summary
“Here we are again,” he says, his voice like smoke.
“You must sincerely enjoy the taste of defeat, to return so many times.” Her reply is sharp, though not nearly as biting as she wants it to be. “How have you returned this time?”
There is a rumble in his chest, like a thunderstorm. In anyone else, she might have called it laughter.
“Play dumb with the rest of the world all you like.” He pauses, eyes following the red moon as it rises so very slowly. “I know you better than that.”
~*~*~*~
One year has passed since that fateful battle, since Ganondorf was destroyed and Zelda was freed from her draconic imprisonment.
One year, and the blood moon rises once again.
Atop the cliffs of the Gerudo Highlands, the Princess awaits his return, certain that this time, victory will be hers.

Blood Moon Madness by Croliv_writes
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
22 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
The gazebo stands on a tiny hill, one lone birch tree next to it. It looks haunted and so empty without its usual occupant dropping sugar into her tea and circling her teaspoon, out for more gossip, eyes glinting. The clinking of porcelain is another sound to its daytime symphony. For now, only cicadas and rustling leaves make up her company.
Zelda steps closer, circling the stone table set in the middle of it as she lets her fingers caress the carved patterns on it, registering every raised line. A nonsensical pattern to her, but according to Rauru it meant something – what, she had already forgotten again. Must have been something mundane.
„The Lady is also unable to find respite on this beautiful night?“
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A nightly encounter will change Zelda's and Ganondorf's fate forever, after months of looming around each other. The Blood Moon's rise plagues the mind after all.

In the Fires of Anathema by The_Twilight_Duchess
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms
23 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Three years ago, Princess Zelda was killed in a tragic accident. Now, what's left of her lives on in shadows, disguised as the last of the Sheikah and bound to serve the very man who claimed her kingdom: Ganondorf Dragmire, bearer of the Triforce of Power.
To protect Hyrule, she plays the loyal spy, forever balancing the razor’s edge between obedience and defiance in an attempt to keep her people safe from his wrath. But in the dark, where not even he can see her, something far more complicated transpires between them -- something that makes her feel again, even if it means betraying the woman she was in a past life.
The scars that cover her body have deprived her of sensation, of a chance at being more than a living corpse. But when an assassination attempt on Ganondorf fails, she finds that she is not the only one marred by old wounds. That which damns her may just be what binds her to the man she hates, almost as much as she hates herself.

Summary
Once upon a time, when the world was filled with gold and beauty, there lived a young princess who held within her soul the key to the heavens. No one can say what went wrong, only that she was lost, and with her, a precious light that has not graced this world since days long considered legend. Is the Princess still alive somewhere? Does she watch over these lands from afar, like an angel called home to her mothers, the Golden Goddesses who themselves play no role in the world anymore?
All the magic they gifted us through her has faded. Some believe it never existed at all.
And you, little Ganondorf?
What do you believe?
~*~*~*~
Ganondorf, hungry for power, scours the ends of the earth to find himself the Lost Princess, desperate to devour her and become a god. What he finds, however, is not what he expected. But hunger never sleeps, and it never dies, no matter the toll it takes upon its host.
