Centuries after Demise was sealed in the Master Sword, he reforms himself to find that his Hatred Incarnations have been utterly useless. He decides to take things into his own hands-and in the process tears holes in reality itself. To save the Universe, the Goddesses turn to their last hope: the Hero. Except this time, they're not sending just one - they're sending all of them.

In a land he doesn't know, he is surrounded by things he can't understand. Rules, Government, Weapons, Schooling, even their Goals. They are all unknowns, but so is he to them. Link, and the memories of his friends. But there is one common rule between their world and his. The Unknown has the Advantage. So he will remain just that as long as he can. [Pre-Season 3, Min-Canon Change]

Sheik is the best the Yiga have to offer, so it's only natural he is sent to stop the newly awakened Hero of Hyrule from ruining Lord Ganon's plans. He just wishes the Hero wasn't so damned hard to catch off-guard!

It's bad enough waking up naked, wet, and without any memory of who you are other than your name - Link really didn't need a judgemental voice in a slate yelling at him on top of it all. It seems the Sheikah slate hides an even bigger secret than he thought!

Three strangers, three curses, and a smiling man who knows far too much. When Zelda, Ganondorf, and Link are given an opportunity to free themselves from their fates, they find themselves embarking on a quest that will take them to all corners of Hyrule in search of a mysterious power said to grant wishes. They just have to survive long enough to find it.

One year after the death of Ganondorf, Link finds everything he cares for torn from him once again. In the company of Midna and Princess Zelda, he must travel to a faraway land to find an ancient magic power to save not only Hyrule, but the world...

Various tales from the universe of Shadow and Thief. Basically a collection of ideas that struck me after finishing Shadow and Thief, featuring me clumsily exploring the world further. Features such riveting tales as "Tea with Gan", "Kafei's Big Drunken Mouth", and "Losing Teeth: How to Gain a Gerudo Girlfriend". Initially just silly, but chapter 5 takes a dark turn.

(post TP) Link is abruptly stolen away from his homeland. All he knows is that Queen Zelda and her Royal Court were involved. Not knowing where he is, or how to get back home, he faces a new set of trials. Where are the Goddesses when you need them? (No Slash. Rated for Graphic future scenes, rating may change) Disclaimer: I don't own the image or any others in my fics.

Every family has its odd member, the one that doesn't fit. Jaune was just that, the black sheep. He had always wanted to be the hero, to be a Huntsman. But when your name is Jaune Salem Arc - Prince of the Grimm - and your mother is understandably against the idea, what is a young man to do? Why, run away to attend Beacon in pursuit of a dream, of course. What could go wrong?

"But if maybe you feel like you've done enough, like you've given more than anybody could have ever asked of you… then Zelda, maybe you've earned your rest. ...Whatever your future holds, let it be what you want. But first, take the time to get better." Post-BotW. Part of the ongoing 'Timeline' mini-series.

Sheik is lost - incredibly so. Chasing after a Yiga spy into the open desert, behind enemy lines, was a mistake. However, what's done is done and he can do little else but keep moving. Little does he know he's being watched from a distance by a Gerudo who shouldn't even exist...

It's Friday night, and what better way to spend it for a socially anxious psych student than risking his life in a high-risk, no-stake battle on the road? Or watching one, for a certain clan heir. Screw the anxiety, it's time to kick ass and burn rubber!

Part 1 of 'The Wandering Devil'. Immortality is not all it's cracked up to be. Harry and Voldemort took oaths to end their long and bloody war. Over a century later, a convoluted plot forces the two (slightly out of practice) immortals into an adventure together.

Growing up, Link wanted to be a knight just like his father. Hunting, gathering and cooking skills he learned from his mother. As proud as they were, Link's parents were stricken with grief when he'd taken up the Master Sword, fearing for what eventually happened to him.

Link's clothes keep disappearing, and he has no idea why. Perhaps a certain Sheikah is involved?

A year has passed since the Ordon High Massacre, and what was meant as a harmless class trip results in a horrifying struggle for the fate of mankind and the secrets kept so long in the dark. "History cries, as one from the dust, raising a silent voice of warning... There is much we could learn, if we would but listen." AU

Jaune only had a ghost of a chance of surviving Initiation. Thus, he didn't. A little dying is no reason to give up his life's dream of becoming a Hunter, right? Even if 'life' is now a bit late... (Warning: morbid comedy. Literally.) (Now posting how it should have died.)

I wither all lives that I meet. I loved my parents; dead. I loved Zelda; missing. My only sibling I have detests the fact that I draw breath, and the few friends that I have know nothing of my true identity. I mask myself into everyday society, begging that my superiors don't come to terms with who I actually am. When I am found, I'll die before making up for ruining so many lives.

The battle is over, and Fi is at rest, having reached the end of her long journey. But not all of her work has been done, and not all of her goodbyes have been said.

As the fight against Ganondorf begins anew, Zelda finds herself besieged by worries.

Looking at Zelda was like watching constellations, like knowing the curve and bend of every line of stars but not how they would feel in your grasp. He was a little grateful for that. The stars had never been merciful; they would have burned, they would have torn, and there was no fate he would have rather chosen. — link/zelda through the lifetimes, one-shot. happy bday rena!
