Summary
Calamity Ganon isn't what Zelda had originally expected. She knew it was evil incarnate, a force of destruction, but its true nature—sly, cunning—was far more insidious. The way it had corrupted her Guardians and turned the Divine Beasts against them should have been the first warning. Now, locked in this battle, she understands just how malevolent it truly is.
It doesn’t just attack with brute force. It whispers.
“You let them all die... You will fail them again,” it hisses, each word crawling into her mind like poison.
“I shall slaughter him, too, if he returns,” it taunts, cutting at the deepest wound she refuses to acknowledge.
“He’s never coming back,” it mocks, a shadow’s voice, full of malice and certainty.
Ganon’s rage is like a storm, battering against her, but in the quiet moments between its assaults, it finds her fears. Sometimes it tells her things she hopes are lies—secrets about her father, her kingdom, truths she can’t bear to accept.
-A novelization of the events of BotW, and then some, in continuation of the previous work as a prequel to BotW.

Summary
As Link's name is called, a wave of murmurs sweeps through the crowd. He steps forward, his heart pounding in his chest. He tries to block out the noise, to focus on the moment, but he can feel the weight of their eyes on him.
He kneels before the king, his head bowed. “Link of Hateno,” Rhoam says, his voice firm and commanding, “You have proven yourself with courage and skill. By the power vested in me as the King of Hyrule, I dub thee, knight of the realm. Rise, Sir Link.”
Link rises, feeling the weight of his new title settling on his shoulders. He turns to step back, but his eyes instinctively flick up to the balcony once more, just for a moment.
There she is, watching him. And for that brief instant, their eyes meet. His heart races, and he feels a warmth spread through him, a foolish hope that perhaps she sees something in him too. But then, the moment ends as quickly as it began, her gaze moving elsewhere.
-An alternate retelling of the events leading to the calamity before the events of Breath of the Wild with integrated memories and journal entries.

Summary
She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.
(Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)

Summary
The journey around Hyrule in search of inspiration to awaken the foretold Divine Sealing Power proves to be one of significant difficulty for young Princess Zelda, she who is rumoured to be of the Goddess Hylia’s bloodline.
Despite her displeasure with her new Knights presence everywhere she goes, she understands he is the best suited to complete the task at hand: Keep her safe while she struggles to awaken her power, her birthright, before Calamity Ganon returns once again to destroy Hyrule, once and for all.
Pressured by her father, fearful of her failure, and pursued by the Yiga Clan, she strives to awaken her powers in time to protect her home and fulfil her destiny.
It would help if the Princess and the Knight who wields the Sword that Seals the Darkness got along.
