Summary
Hyrule yace bajo el yugo de un imperio forjado a sangre y miedo.
Un dios tirano gobierna desde el trono, y la profecía que alguna vez prometió salvación ha demostrado que incluso los héroes pueden caer.Link no es un elegido ni un caballero.
Es un mercenario.
Un hombre moldeado por la violencia, la pérdida y el silencio. Cuando una misión aparentemente trivial lo arrastra al corazón de una rebelión condenada, se ve forzado a enfrentar algo peor que cualquier enemigo: el peso de un legado que nunca quiso cargar.Mientras el imperio se resquebraja y la guerra se libra desde las sombras, antiguos mitos despiertan, alianzas se quiebran y la Espada Maestra —rota y olvidada— aguarda a alguien dispuesto a pagar su precio.
Porque en esta historia, el héroe no brilla.
Resiste.
Y a veces, para vencer a un dios, primero debe sobrevivir a sí mismo.Crimson Silence es una reinterpretación oscura y adulta de la leyenda de Zelda: una historia sobre guerra, pérdida, venganza y la frágil línea entre la redención y la condena.

Summary
“Whatever happens tomorrow, I’ll be by your side,” Link responds, squeezing Orville’s hand. “Nothing can tear us apart, you hear me? Not even the will of the goddesses.”
“You promise?”
“On my life,” Link swears. He says it without hesitation, without any hint of uncertainty in his voice. “I love you too, Orville. To the heavens and back.”

There is No Version of This Story Where He Lives by Raylin_James_Shire

Summary
Somehow, impossibly, he looks directly at You. And you know he has never hated anything more. The Hero didn't need to die. You could have changed it, so many times. But you knew before you wrote it that their story would be a tragedy, and so a tragedy it became.
Idk I started drawing Orville holding Link's body and started thinking about how Orville would feel if he knew how often I write him and Link as a tragedy and this happened.

And My Eyes Are Open by Azelda_Scroggs (Azalea_Scroggs)

Summary
Long ago, in the days before Hyrule, Link, a talented and respected knight, receives omens of a terrifying future from the White Goddess Hylia herself. Frightened by the dreams of destruction, he does his best to warn his peers and convince the city leaders to arm up to prevent the disaster. But his path is a lonely and difficult one, for what can one man do against a multitude determined to ignore an inconvenient truth?
This is the tale of the first hero's fall and imprisonment, a slightly too ambitious prequel to the Skyward Sword manga in which Link is a doomed prophet falling somewhere between Cassandra, Moses, Achilles, Hamlet and Greta Thunberg, with lots of gratuitous worldbuilding and fly-off-my-pants politics. And dramatic speeches.

Abandon the Gods Before They Can Abandon You by Raylin_James_Shire

Summary
Long ago, longer than mortals can imagine, there was a man named Link (Later, there was another. And another, and another, and—). Part of his soul had grown bitter with resentment at the destiny that had dictated his suffering. That part was torn apart from him by the gods and left to whither away.
What the gods did not account for was that resentment, left ignored, only grows.
Sky finds himself suddenly and violently thrown into the back of his own head. He no longer has any control of his body. He’s trapped in the darkest corners of his own mind. Sky screams at the Deity, trying to understand what’s happened, but he doesn’t answer.
He has a job to do, after all. He hadn’t lied to Sky, he would do his best to end the curse. And he would do whatever it takes, even if he had to go through a hero or two.

Summary
[Four years is a long time. Spending it apart as war festered made it even longer.]
After an achingly long time, the defamed hero of the land, Link—who happens to also be Orville's closest friend, or at least used to be—is finally freed from his wrongful imprisonment. Now, they're near strangers with four long years sitting like a wedge between them.
Or: Link may have lost his physical shackles, but his mind still has him stuck in prison. Orville is determined to hope.

Summary
It ends like this:
An island torn from the ground in a sky high above you, a beaming light, and a deep wound in your side. You stand amongst the bodies of men you once knew and the bodies of beasts born from the deepest shadows. There are people screaming above you: Hurry, they say. Hurry, to the light, hurry. Hurry, hurry, hurry; but you cannot, can you? There is blood on your tongue, blood in the air, blood gushing from your body. You are a river of red; you are dying.
It begins like this:

Summary
An evil, a goddess, a hero. The evil is defeated. The goddess prepares. The hero falls.
It's an old story, a simple one. Echoed throughout history and legends countless times even before Demise's curse.
None of those stories say what everybody else is supposed to do in the aftermath, when the demons and gods and heroes have all gone.

These hands of mine, they are cracked and broken, and I wish I could tear my gaze from them by dragonandthedreamer

Summary
He should have let it go. Instead his stupid, stubborn pride made him attempt to lift the blade with one hand, just to feel a little bit like the time before it all went wrong. Before the visions of destruction, the fear, the mistrust. When he was just an upstart knight promised to have a comfortable life in a comfortable world with his comfortable friends and nothing was wrong and he was okay and not trapped in an ever-cold stone tomb.
But that time was gone, forever, buried well beneath years of hurt and pain. His arm gave out, the blade falling from his hand and hitting the ground with an echoing clang.
Shame prickled at his bony fingertips. But mostly, he just felt sorrow, regret, as they all stared at the shining blade lying among the filth caked on the cracked stone-brick ground.
“Your hero’s strength,” he announced in a quiet rasp. “Do you see what you’ve done to it, now?”
--
Prison is a cold place—its cold will worm into your bones. They want him to fight their war, but he is not the same hero from four years prior; this is his journey towards wielding the blade.Series

Summary
I have dreams of the forest which nearly bring me to tears
Hunter green and the scent of earth, an air like no other
I feel no loneliness
A blanket of leaves, a crown of branches, fallen feathers
My fingertips run along moss and bark
Bare feet against moist earth
