Summary
“Princess, I don’t think you realize that whenever you’re in the room, everyone’s attention is naturally drawn to you.” He told her, giving her a sheepish smile before turning back to the castle.
Zelda felt her cheeks warm up as her lips parted in surprise at his words. Then she shook her head, bringing Link’s gaze back to her. “I’m the princess who likes to hide from her own citizens. No one notices me unless I’m standing right next to my father.”
Link shrugged, his eyes avoiding hers as he faced her. “I guess it was just me, then.”
~~~~~~~~~~
BoTW Zelink with a heaping spoonful of sieges, the Champions, magic, history, politics, and adventure. Breath of the Wild reimagined to fit the Zeldaverse and with characters from past games modernized.

Summary
Once upon a time, in a half-forgotten life, she pried open his hard outer shell and coaxed him from it until she found the sweetness contained within. She has a million memories of him from Before, of secret smiles and adventures her father was never privy to.
But now, he won’t even talk to her—he’s uttered maybe thirty sentences to her since she woke. And Zelda feels as if she's drowning on land.
OR:
Link needs a good cry, Zelda needs a break, and there's a fish. Or several.

Summary
The figure in front of her was still, silent. Then it moved again, slowly.
Do you really remember me?
Her mouth, tongue, teeth, and lungs moved on their own. The noise they made working all together was: “Yes. Hylian. Man. Wait…no.” That wasn't right. He...had a sword on his back. She shook her head, until another word dislodged from the silt of her brain, and floated up, shining. Relieved, she said: “Knight.”
Post-TOTK fic in which Link finds Zelda, but neither are healed completely.

Summary
[Fighting off more than a stomach bug, Book III finale delayed for a few weeks - check back soon, this story isn't falling apart again.]
"The disaster of the Calamity has been averted by the Princess of Hyrule and the Hero chosen by the Master Sword. However, the one who aided the stoic and mysterious Link is not the same Princess named in the legends of old. Second Princess Zelda and her twin sister, Crown Princess Hilda, have a very strained relationship as a result. And to make matters even more difficult, their father King Rhoam has decided that one of his daughters must marry the Goddess's chosen hero to ensure Hyrule's continued safety. A story of self-acceptance, learning to rely on loved ones, and the darkness the heart is capable of succumbing to unfolds in this new era of Hyrule's history."
This story will be told in four "Books," following separate arcs. Each Book is a continuation of what came before but are largely meant to be self-contained journeys focusing on several themes. Here is the breakdown of each Book and the progress of the story overall:
Book I - Meeting [Complete]
Book II - Family [Complete]
Book III - Storm [In Progress]
Book IV - ??? [Coming Later]Bookmarked by ashesandelms

A Blindsided Engagement by LorelyLantana
Fandoms: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (Video Game)

Summary
As a knight bound by oath, Link adhered to a strict code of conduct that governed his every waking hour. He wasn’t to deceive frivolously, he was to extend a helping hand whenever possible, and he would never, under any circumstances, presume to declare his undying love to Princess Zelda. It was unprofessional, if not unethical. He was tasked with her safety, and that included sheltering her from the burden of his emotions. And so, Zelda was kept in blissful ignorance to the heart she held in her hands.
The chivalric code was strict, but it wasn’t unforgiving. There were allowances. Small things Link could do to express little shreds of his love, if only to keep from exploding. To keep from shouting out his devotion for Zelda, her fierce determination and her unbreakable spirit. He kept his silence for so long, he thought restraining himself would be natural, but then she would laugh, or look his way, or hum if he was lucky, and he was a beat away from saying ‘I love you’. It was too much to hold in. Too much to hide, so he began giving Zelda small tokens of his affections. Subtle gestures, unnoticeable, and easily misconstrued as a part of his duty to the Princess’ safety.

Summary
Zelda has a very special bond with Link: a bond that allows her to speak with him telepathically. What if this ability was one that came to her much earlier than the rest of her powers? This story is an exploration of how this ability began and evolved over time, for Zelda and also for Link.
Or, 5 times Zelda initiated telepathic communication with Link, and 1 time Link was able to reach out to Zelda.

Summary
Zelda thinks of herself as a fact-driven, scientifically minded person. She takes in information, plugs that information into her view of the world and hopes to come out with reasonable conclusions. However, the way she views Link seems to be the exception to this rule. For when it comes to him, she knows herself to be foolish and impetuous and ignorant of her own heart.
Or, Zelda makes the same mistakes all over again.

Summary
I love the Regency Romance genre, and especially love Georgette Heyer novels. I was kind of surprised I didn’t see any other zelink Regency AUs because the story certainly lends itself to the genre. Well, be the change you want to see and all that. This story is mostly a Heyer-inspired series of tropes all strung together. Don’t overthink anything I came up with, I went with a lot of semi-plausible stuff that served the story I wanted to tell. It’s also not gonna be historically accurate so don’t expect that either, this is Hyrule, not England, and I can do what I want.
