The Sacred Promise by tdubois1982

Summary
This tale in the making is about the beginnings of Link and Zelda falling in love. It aspires to explore how their bonds deepen before and after the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and what the two would realistically be feeling about each other and themselves through it all.
It aspires to question how you know when you really do love someone else, and what that means, and what you want for another person when you love them.
In my mind this starts immediately after the ending of Breath of the Wild where Calamity Ganon is slain, and before its "True Ending" cutscene. It began with two simple questions.
The first: In a memory shown in Breath of the Wild, we know that Princess Zelda thought to leave a message for Link with the Great Deku Tree. It said to wait. What was she going to say?
The second: How would "Link's House" become "Zelda's House" after the ending of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
This all led to a big question more vital than any canon. If at some point the love of Link and Zelda were tested, what would that look like and how would that be overcome? My theory about loving another is the answer.
It's a lot. It's completely new for me. Here we go.

Summary
Written for Zelink 2024, inspired by the prompt of "Blooming".
After the events of "Tears of the Kingdom", the land of Hyrule has known perfect peace for many years. Now a daughter has turned seventeen, and she has a wish for herself in the peaceful times that Link and Zelda fought for. After the greatest battles have been won, can a dreamer find a way to shine for everyone?
7/26/2024 update: A fourth chapter is added as an Afterword with lots of thoughts about what I put into it and how I imagine the Link x Zelda pairing here. If even a few get something out of it, it was worth it.

Two Proposals Under the Moon and Stars by tdubois1982

Summary
Written for Zelink Week 2024, following the day one prompt of "Under the Stars".
In the era of "A Link Between Worlds", following the wish upon the Triforce at the end of their grand adventure, the Princess Zelda and the chosen hero of that time find themselves growing ever closer with every night they spend together under the stars and the full moon. The salvation of Lorule required the intense strength of their wishes, the perfect harmony of their thoughts and feelings. With the two sharing that kind of understanding, who wouldn't want to believe in what such a thing means?
Finally, on one fateful moonlit night, Princess Zelda desires to make a confession long considered. She is certain she already knows his answer and everything her words will mean, but can their bond survive a serious misunderstanding from young Link?
7/25/2024 update: added headcanon & creative notes at the end

The Will of Zelda, Conjurer Princess by tdubois1982

Summary
This work is the first draft for a simple idea I had: what if a story were written about a Legend of Zelda game that was like a journal or a diary written by the main character, where each entry concerns the play sessions of the author playing the game?
I thought it was a fun idea that for far away in the future, but then The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was revealed. This short fic is the first attempt at that concept, based on what we know and assume from the first trailer shown for the game.
This is written from the perspective of Princess Zelda after being rescued by Link, and the night before she would venture out on what she would consider to be the beginning of her adventure. What might her first thoughts and feelings be about Link and her quest, as she considers what she must do and what she wants to do? This is my (first) version of that answer.
This may or may not be the first chapter of what becomes a much longer work down the line, after the game comes out. For now, it's hype. Maybe it makes you want to play and beat the game even more, & if so that's a success in my book.

The Dragon of Light and the Vow of Love by tdubois1982
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
14 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
"To become an immortal dragon is to lose oneself." The Princess Zelda had been told that in antiquity, once upon a time. She knew it and sacrificed even so, praying that her hero would receive her thoughts and feelings and reclaim the Master Sword to carry out her will.
But even the wise have not all wisdom. Love is not so easy to kill, and there are many powers in the world. The belief of Link the hero is very far from the least.
This work dramatizes Memory 17 of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the event of pulling the Master Sword.
Concept #1: What thoughts go through Zelda's mind when she swallows her secret stone?
Concept #2: Observe the Master Sword event. At first the effort is an extreme struggle, and then everything becomes serene and Link easily pulls it. Why did it go that way?
It's meant to explore the thoughts of Zelda and Link as these things happen and how they react to these events. Here I also dare to speculate about the experience of being the Light Dragon. The sentience of the Master Sword comes up too.
It is also how I celebrated their unbreakable bond on Valentine's Day. I might be crazy, but there it is.

Their First Promises by tdubois1982

Summary
"Stop following me!"
Every relationship has to start somewhere. For Link and Zelda in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the true beginning for them is the events in the Gerudo Desert. And so this work centers around the events of memories 6 and 7 (Urbosa's Hand, Blades of the Yiga) and dramatizes those events.
If these two had a terrible argument before being in love, why would it happen? What would that look like and how would it be resolved?
What circumstances would cause a severe misunderstanding between a troubled princess and her seemingly "perfect" knight?
What does it take to get beyond a fight and the hurt that goes with it, and to move forward?
How can it be that forgiveness heals both the giver and the receiver?
Here I try to explore questions like those a bit. "Angst with a happy ending" definitely applies here.
Guest starring the champion Urbosa as the surrogate mom who also shocks people.
It's never as bad as it seems.

Snowy Recollections by Mistress_Lrigtar

Summary
Link could not help but wonder how he was supposed to save this world if he could not remember his own past or why he had been chosen in the first place. Maybe he was going about things the wrong way. Perhaps, instead of trying to force himself to remember important pivotal moments, he needed to focus on remembering small things, like his favorite color, and possibly, if he could grasp a simple recollection, the bigger ones would come in time.
