Ruta bellowed in the distance. Zelda imagined Mipha trapped inside, dying alone.

Ganon’s going to pay for this, she thought, fists clenched.

Princess Mipha, beloved of her people. The Zora Champion, pilot to Vah Ruta. A master fighter and healer. Zelda’s best friend. Mipha, with her heart of gold, the gentlest soul Zelda had ever known. Her heart’s sister.

Oh, Ganon would be begging for death when Zelda was done with him.

“No time like the present,” Zelda said, tilting her chin up, even as her eyes watered again. “Let’s begin.”

Zelda remembers her best friend and burns with determination to avenge her. Mipha gives her a gift and asks Zelda to make a very important promise.

'Until my last breath'

Zelink reversed roles AU fanfiction

Chapter 2

“The laws don’t allow us to take people inside the castle to give them refuge but we can definitely find work inside the castle for Nebb’s family members. Is there anything else I could do for you? ” James and Zelda stood in front of the bridge to the castle as they discussed about her conditions to work with him.

Meanwhile, Ragnar and Link hunted down the aggressor who threatened her life. The people of the festival enjoyed their time and danced light heartedly to the music.

Yet, in the dark corners of an abandoned street, Link pushed the man against an old façade.

“Do you work for someone?!” Link grabbed the man’s throat and lifted him from his feet with one arm.

“No, Sir. I am alone! Please let me down, “ the man could barely speak.

“Link, we better check his body for any evidences. He won’t tell the truth even if you threatened him.”

Link turned his head aside and thought about it. Ragnar had his cold sinister look in his eyes and Link knew he had an idea in his mind.

He threw the thief roughly to the ground and Ragnar ripped off the thief’s clothes. He never hesitated to rush into action.

Ragnar grabbed the man’s arm and pulled him to his feet. He trembled because of the cold but he also trembled out of fear, he knew of their ruthless reputation.

“Like I thought, this filthy rat is one of them. He wears their mark on his back like a farm animal. He’s just an underling but they came far too close to the castle for my taste. I would like to kill him but then we might lose a chance to track them down., ” in front of Ragnar’s face hot steam from his mouth surrounded him and gave his ice blue iris a mystical feeling. Thoughtfully he crossed his arms in front of broad chest, leaving the man freezing next to him.

“Yes, I agree brother. Though it’s not likely of them to attack healers. He must be an abandoned one and furthermore has to thief for his own survival. It may just be an inconvenience, but I believe he needed the rupees to redeem himself in the Yiga clan.” Link had his cold calculating look in his eyes and analysed every inch this man’s face for any reaction. He saw how nervous he became as Link spoke.

Link’s eyes sparkled immediately as his sharp mind saw an opportunity.

“Makes sense to me too, sharp senses as always. I guess we can’t kill him yet.”

“Y-yes! Yes! Y-you’re… right! P-p-please don’t kill me!” The man was trembling as his body felt frozen. He tried to warm himself up by wrapping his arms around his chest. He didn’t dare to try to escape them, too great was the fear to be killed.

Ragnar abruptly turned his head to him and pierced his eyes into the thief’s soul

“Shut your mouth, you filthy rat. No body told you to speak, unless you tell us anything you know about the Yiga. Until then, you will freeze your arse off. “

“L-l-look, I-I-I c-can’t even i-i-if I w-want-t-ted t-t-to.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Link had a feeling that behind his statement lay some truth. It wouldn’t surprise him if the Yiga cast a spell on their henchmen to secure their secrets.

And as the thought shaped into a deduction, Link exchanged a meaningful gaze with Ragnar.

“I-i-i-it m-m-means th-th-that we can’t be-be-ca-use th-they...use... I c-can’t s-say...use...u-use... SEAL!”

He screamed out the last words while his whole body shivered with the cold. But as soon as had he said it, his head twitched spasticity, his pupils twisted and rattling noises came from his throat. He cried out his last breath and collapsed right after.

Link and Ragnar watched helplessly and in shock as the thief lied motionless on the ground.

Link and Ragnar knelt in front of the man and exchanged regretful looks, thinking about the cruelty of the Yiga.

„At least in death he is a free man. Come on Ragnar, we’ll get him a decent burial. ”, said Link.

He wrapped his cloak around the bare body and heaved it onto his shoulder.

„When we’re done with his funeral, we must report to Father immediately.“ Link marched through the deep snow under his boots, far away from the castle walls. It cracked in the snow as he had to raise his knees more and more to get through the high snowpack. Sweat ran down his back, his breath became heavier, and his muscles burned. Ragnar noticed the thick vapor from Link’s breath, an indication of the immense strength that he had to mobilize at the moment. Without a word, he lifted the body from his shoulder and carried it the rest of the way.

Hours later, the brothers reached Lake Kolomo near the Forest of Time and buried the corpse among the trees.

“Link, I’ve thought about it and I think we should only tell father about the Yiga once we have found out more. He is never satisfied with half-finished business.“

Their hands were flushed and stiff from the snow they laid over the grave. It was time to return to the warmth, so the two broke up and left the man in the grave alone, but under the protection of the forest.

------

“Your royal highness, thank you for everything. I do have some other requests too, regarding my master and my father. I am in depth for my education since I tried to pay it all on my own but the payment wasn’t high enough, not to mention I often didn’t even receive it, to pay off my loans. If I work at the royal castle I want to be payed with a suitable salary for my hard work. I want to help people around Hyrule, that’s why I will need the salary to buy better equipment, medics and explore new methods to heal. I also want the freedom to leave the castle whenever I see the need to gather herbs, ingredients, make new flora analyses or look out for unhealthy people. In the matter of my father, I do not want my father to know that I would work in the castle. That’s all of my conditions, your royal highness.”

James thought about it while scratching his beard, not knowing if it was possible to give her the freedom she wanted as his father controlled everything and everyone. For better or worse, she had to go to the king and speak to him. about it if he decided to be interested enough. Anything that didn’t matter to him wasn’t worth his time.

“May I ask who your father is, gracious healer?”

“Yes of course you may. He’s the commander of the third legion of the royal army, Rhoam Dejardin. Your royal highness.”

James‘eyes widened as he drew in a sharp breath. ‘Now I understand why she doesn’t want to have contact with her father, he’s just like my father!‘ James thoughts flashed back and forth in his head as he put the pieces together.

“I see! I guess we both have awful fathers then. Don’t worry I will make sure that you can stay away from your father. And about your loan, as the prince I am able to pay it for you, just say a word. But if you still want to pay it on your own, we will pay you even more than the royal healer gets. Because we need a healer that is independent and solely serves for the people and not the King’s moods. Please accept my offer to be a healer for the purpose of science.”

Zelda smiled at the speech of James. But she immediately realized that he was sweet-talking the other conditions while ignoring the most important one. Her freedom.

“Your royal highness I am pleased to hear all that. But I won’t accept the offer until All of my conditions are fulfilled. Please enjoy the rest of the evening, I have to go back to my stall. ”

She walked away without looking back, into the direction of her stall. James tried to hold her off by reaching an arm to her but she was already too far away. For now he would have to deal with his father. He sighed in defeat, he didn’t like it at all. He wanted to keep her in secret, out of the range of the eyes of his father but sooner or later his father would have know about her. It was better to ask him to work as an independent healer. Hyrule needs her desperately.

James had seen so much suffer in his travels and explorations, the defeated knights who weren’t able to fight anymore, the despair and illness in the corners of the kingdom, all of them needed a healer who would only serve the people and not the King.

‘But how am I supposed to tell that to my father? I probably should ask Ecberht about this.’

- - -

The Festival of Lights ended with the first rays of the sun and Zelda was busy dismantling the stand alone during the coldest hour of the day. She had sent little Nebb home just before midnight and shared her salary with him again. The old doctor was long gone and left the rest to her. She cursed inwardly for not accepting the offer, but her principles had to come first. Otherwise she would approve of being exploited again. Gritting her teeth together, she went to the remaining instruments and bandages that were lying around. Her hands were already icy burns and were stiff from the cold when she noticed a shadow out of the corner of her eye and the next moment she felt warm hands on hers. When she looked up, sea blue eyes stared into her eyes. She quickly pulled her hands out of his and put some space between them.

„Your royal highness, it is a pleasure to see you again.”

“Please don’t be so formal with me when nobody is around. I thought we would have become closer after the dance. And now you’re greeting me like a foreigner.” Link wasn’t sure if she was interested in him at all. She had something special that made him drive to her, but he couldn’t tell what it was. He wanted to protect her, be at her side and watch over her.

“I accepted your hand because I would lose my face if I didn’t. If we normal folks ever deny a request of a royal family, we get abandoned by society.” Now her eyes were as cold as the freezing temperatures, staring up into his own eyes.

She couldn’t afford to be called a concubine of a prince while trying to be accepted in the world of the healers.

Link didn’t know all of the circumstances despite interacting with people outside the castle. ‘I definitely have to change that!’

“Please don’t interact with me furthermore I don’t want to be called a concubine of yours. Even though they have a far better reputation than a female healer from the streets, I don’t want to be seen as that. I work hard and try to help the suffering people. Please, your royal highness if you look for a girl to have fun with, I beg you to look elsewhere.”

With that said she grabbed the last remaining and walked away. Her heart raced and her body trembled, but she wouldn’t let him know that. She couldn’t even explain it for herself why she reacted that way towards him but decided to not give it much attention.

Link looked after her until she disappeared in the dark street.

“Brother are you alright?” Ragnar had helped his knight comrades to secure the area as they arrived and now was approaching him with his arms full of food, left behind from the festival.

“It’s nothing, I am just tired and exhausted. Come, let us go home.” Ragnar pressed a baked apple into his hand and Link smiled in return. A good old apple would be a good distraction of his pity thoughts.

- - - - - -

The next day arise and the brothers Ragnar and Link woke up with pain in their backs and legs. Link looked around and realized they fell asleep in the study room, they were so tired that they weren’t able to reach their bedrooms. Link must have been fallen asleep while he studied about the Yiga clan, his back hurt from the sitting position and even his neck felt stiff. He heard his brother snoring from the ground and slowly stood up to look for him. Ragnar fell with his stool to the ground, his arms wide open spread while one of his legs hovered on the stool while the other rested on the ground angled. Link smiled at this view, it was funny to see his younger brother, who looked always scary and insane, now like a clumsy big teddy bear. Link walked around the table and kicked the tip of his toe against his brother’s rips.

“Hey! Wake up dumbass!”

“Mmh…fuck off and lemme sleep…”

“It is past midday, wake up!”

“nah, try to wake me up in an hour or two.”

Ragnar muttered more unintelligible words while Link slowly lost patience. It was unusual for his brother to sleep so much. Link decided it was his job to get him back on his feet. Link breathed in and out deeply and rammed his elbow with full force into the abdomen of his brother, who cried out in pain and threw up shortly afterwards.

"You ate too much before you fell asleep, am I right?“

"Thanks, I needed that.“ Ragnar gasped from the exertion he felt from the gag reflex.

“Now get up, we still have a lot to do. Do you remember? The Yiga clan? Provide evidence for our father? Get up you looser, we going hunt for Yiga.“

After they freshened up, they visited their brother James, who was in the middle of a conversation with their eldest brother Ecberht. While Link and Ragnar wore a basic Hylian armour, today Ecberht wore a ruby red royal suit with sapphire blue and golden accents, which meant he would go on a diplomatic business sooner or later. James wore nor royal suit but instead dark trousers and a brown coat with golden buttons and white silk scarf, his favourite outfit when he worked on his natural sciences.

“Good afternoon brothers.” Link said politely while approaching them.

Both immediately interrupted their discussion and turned their heads to them. While James looked confused, Ecberht had a devaluating look in his eyes.

“Where have you been all day? Both of you were no where to be found.” James reached for the arm of Link and then Ragnar to greet them.

“We’ve been doing researches about a case we want to learn more about and therefore stayed up all night. What have you two been discussing about?”

“What kind of case do you talk about?” asked Ecberht suspiciously, “I hope for the sake of your lives, you’re not doing anything reckless again, without the permission of the King.” Link and Ragnar exchanged meaningful looks, they knew they had to be cautious around Ecberht.

Then, Ragnar clears his throat and sweet talked his eldest brother, “Don’t worry, we don’t want to bother father with our case as long as it’s nothing to bother for.”

Ecberht raised an eyebrow and looked suspicious between them, he knew they were up to something dangerous and therefore would need to watch over their moves. He decided to remain silent and ask one of the Sheikah to spy on them.

James felt the tension between his brothers and cleared his throat.

“Well apparently, the woman you danced with yesterday is an exceptional healer and the daughter of commander Rhoam Dejardin but refuses to depend on his reputation and military rank. “

Link and Ragnar widened their eyes. They couldn’t believe what their ears just heard because nobody knew commander Rhoam had a daughter, let alone even a child. Link was confused why he would never mention her.

“She refuses also to serve for the royal family if it means to desert the people in need. That’s why we need her even more. For the sake of Hyrule, we need a selfless healer in our ranks. I would be glad if we had another genius for our science section as well.”

Link was glad that his brothers saw the same potential in her he did, but it disturbed him that he found out about her background through his brother who just met her and immediately wanted to claim her. Link frowned and tried to clear his mind. Then, a big question appeared in his head as he tried to understand why she wasn’t here yet.

“There must be something off if she isn’t here yet. What is it?”

“Well…she wanted the freedom to leave the castle whenever she saw the need of her help or for doing researches on new herbs… She wanted to work with me only under strict conditions…”

“What are her conditions? Except roaming freely around,” asked Link truly curious.

But then, Ecberht had enough and busted out. “I already told you James! This is not going to happen! The audacity to demand such thing is unbelievable! Not even the own sons of the King can do whatever we want, and this woman thinks she was exceptional? No way I am going to allow her to do that. You give the conditions not her. Who does she think she is? Goddess of Hyrule? By Hylia! I am surrounded by idiots!”

Ecberht was about to leave but surprisingly Ragnar hold him off and squeezed his arm. “If James and Link believe in her abilities, I am going to do the same, as you will do the same as well. Understood?!” Ragnar had his insane look in the eyes again which made Ecberht shiver. He never realised how terrifying his younger brother had become.

Ecberht freed his arm from the tight grip of his brother and felt the pain still roaming in his muscles. “Alright then, I will help you to get her on board. But mark my words, no ones except us, the royal family, is allowed to make conditions.”

James and Link barked in laugher as they already knew how determined Zelda can be.

“You idiots stop laughing! What’s so funny!? “

“You will see for yourself, when you meet her.” Link said and winked at James who couldn’t stop laughing at the imagination of Zelda and Ecberht discussing.

“Hmpf. I will talk to the King and ask him for permission than she may come. See you in two hours in the Throne halls.”

- - - - - - -

Zelda was nervous to meet the King. It was her first time and she only knew him through stories. While escorts guided her through the castle she looked at the surroundings to distract her from her useless thoughts. After a while she felt exhausted by the walk through the halls of the castle which were strategically formed like a labyrinth. But then her heart flattered seeing a familiar face. It was prince Link who waited for her in front of the throne halls. He smiled at her generously despite her harsh behaviour before. The escorts left her side and let her alone with the Prince after he told them to dismiss. She was happy to see him but didn’t want to show it, by politely greeting him. “Your royal highness. “ she said bluntly.

“It’s good to see you again, gracious healer.” Link flustered at her sight, even though she wore a similar dress like on the festival of lights, this sand coloured dress let her shine brighter as the sun. She smiled at him trying not to look in his eyes for too long. Link realised he stared at her. He cleared his throat and lend her his hand. The memory of the festival flashed in their minds as Link hold her hand the same way back then. Both smiled at each other at the memory and immediately put the stoic mask on as the huge hallway doors opened.

Zelda let out a breath she didn’t knew she was holding and walked along the hallway. The three brothers of Link were standing next to Throne facing each other while Link escorted Zelda to the King. Zelda gulped as she saw the king in full sight. Several feets away from the throne Link stood still and left her side, joining the side of his brother Ecberht.

Now she was all alone facing the terrifying king in front of her. His clothes weren’t as glamorous as expected, in fact the King looked more like a commander who was about to lead a whole army. His almond shaped eyes pierced through her eyes into her soul, looking for the darkest memories of hers. She reminded her to avoid a direct eye contact and lowered her gaze. But then King Selim raised to his feet and approached her.

Link looked nervously as his father stood directly in front of her looking down on her.

“I demand you to look in my eyes. I heard of your request and want you to tell that in to my face.”

Zelda looked up and met the gaze of the King. The colour of his eyes reminded her of honey, changing the colour with different angles of incidence of light. His hair was black as the feathers of ravens, his facial heather grey and his skin tanned from all the cruel battles fought for Hyrule.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I want my masters servant to be able to work in Castle to let him gain more salary to provide his suffering family. I want to be payed for a suitable price for my works for the royal family. I want to be acknowledged as an independent individual and not as the daughter of a commander. And most importantly, I want to be able to leave the castle whenever I need to gather herbs, explore better methods or see the need of my help of all folks in need. No matter the rank or the race, I decide through the rank of the emergency.”

King Selim stayed silent and didn’t lower his gaze from her forest green eyes. But Zelda bravely encountered his terrifying glare and lifted her chin.

But then, all of a sudden King Selim began to smile.

The brothers who remained silent all were shocked by this view, seeing their father smile for the first time in their lives.

“Miss Zelda Dejardin, I declare you the title of a royal healer with the ability to serve the people of Hyrule, independent of your heritage and the crone.”

All brothers widened their eyes and Ecberht gasped for air. Link and James looked more than satisfied, while Ragnar looked amused at his eldest brother.

“Therefore I shall allow you to bring your masters servant as your own servant, while both of you will be privileged with everything you need.”

The King’s smile became wider and heartily as he spoke and signalled with a finger to the servant to bring him his contract.

Meanwhile Ecberht threw his hands above his head in unbelieve about what his eyes just observed. His brothers clapped their hands as a sign of respect and honour.

With the unique Tughra on his ring he pressed the top of it into the melted candle wax. A bright smile decorated her face as he handed over her the certificate which he placed in her hands with both of his.

“This certificate shall give you permission to enter every small corner of Hyrule and gives you security in wars. Keep it close to you, miss gracious royal healer.”

With that said Zelda bowed politely to the King and walked away from, only turning her back to him as she reached the doors.

Link followed her with her eyes even when she already disappeared, he glared at the closed doors and smiled brightly.

While Ecberht couldn’t still believe what just happened, his mind could find the answer, therefore he bursted out and asked their father the important question everyone in the hall was eager to know the answer.

“Your Majesty, please tell us what made you give her so much privileges?”

King Selim approached his oldest son, putting his hands behind his back, looking down on him with a sly smile. Ecberht saw the small sparkle in his eyes and had a good idea of what was going on his father’s mind.

“In her eyes lies the sun that will guide this rotten land out of the darkness.”

The King walked away from him , back to his throne as he dismissed them.

For the first time in his life, Ecberht didn't know what to say.

Role reversal? 🤔

Here's the first page of my rambles for a role reversal!

» . «

Wildflower eyes. He hasn’t forgotten them.

Wild and free-spirited, as fluid as a summer breeze, unbreakable and colorful, but frankly more green than anything. Her eyes—gods he missed them. Those ferocious emerald eyes had always watched him so curiously. Darker. Richer. Even more full of life than the grass they were sitting on.

The aftermath of the final battle lay in the remnants of blackened earth and monstrous hoof prints, but Link’s eyes haven’t wavered from the new wound that’s forming on his heroine’s forearm. She’s unusually quiet as she works; her practiced hands tending to the injury with the setting sun casting shadows behind her like a halo. With the grass stains on her tunic and the dirt on her face, with her hair cut short and face aged by another year, Link thinks she’s even prettier now than before the Calamity.

It’ll be another scar, he thinks, adding to her never-ending collection of wounds splayed out along her skin like stars in the night sky. By this thought, he tears his eyes away to look at the setting sun. It’s been forever since he’s seen it—has seen anything. Trees. Soaring birds. The colors of dusk. Anything that wasn’t malice or shackles or pain, but more than anything else, he’s so happy to see her again.

In the lush green grass of Central Hyrule, the heroine and prince sit side by side, overlooking the field where everything that they’ve been fighting for finally came to an end. Where Zelda sent her final blow into the beast of Ganon as Link sealed him away, relying on the strength that flourished within him when he finally saw her and that sword on her back. After all this time, Link kept searching through the darkness for her, watching her as she ventured across the entirety of Hyrule. It was unbearably challenging, but he did it anyway and it was worth it when Zelda’s eyes locked onto his across the field of charred grass, chest heaving from the struggle of victory, and with a hundred years and a thousand heartbreaks between them, tears fell from her cheeks and her voice trembled.

“I heard you,” she said, and started running towards him.

They clashed somewhere in the middle, the Master Sword dropping from her hand with a soft thud as her arms wrapped around his neck and his around her waist. He held onto her tightly, nose nuzzling into her hair and neck and breathing her in for the first time in a century.

hello hello, here are some other botw fics that i think are really really good!

Displaced series by socksock (Post-calamity, really great characterization of Link and Zelda, great exploration of political factions and coping mechanisms, and slight sexual themes due to eventual smooching but it isn’t outright smut. Also Zelda being a nerdy scientist and Link being an oblivious, reckless adventurer is an amazing dynamic, and the overall imagery of this fic series has ingrained itself in my mind at this point. Supporting characters like Purah, Symin, Paya, and so many more are well-developed, and honestly the author is amazing at making use of everyone. The first fic is finished, but the sequel fic is ongoing!)

intrepid series by arystocrat (Pre-calamity and in-game role reversal au where Zelda is the chosen hero and Link is Hyrule’s crown prince! It’s a very very interesting take on how things would change if the two had different roles, especially since the viewpoint character of the first fic of the series is Zelda’s father, Rhoam. Ongoing!)

hyrule world tour series by spacebeyonce (Post-calamity, a comforting journey of Link and Zelda re-meeting one another and making peace in this new world before them. It’s very sweet and honestly perfect for the irl worries we all have about the pandemic and how do we move forward from it. I think this fic’s depiction of Zelink and their friendships with everyone in the new world is one of the best i’ve ever read!)

you are not icarus by arystocrat (Pre-calamity, unresolved mutual pining of Link and Zelda to one another. It’s beautifully poetic, and I think it’s just so good at exploring their dynamic especially once they start opening up to each other.)

Soldier’s Log by Advocaat (Post-calamity, Link-centric due to it being in his POV! A light-hearted and fluffy exploration of the possible rebuilding process and futures that both Link and Zelda have after defeating Calamity Ganon.

Oh thanks a ton~!!!

#eernask #eernanon #recs #it's so funny. i read more botw fics than for any other fandom. and yet i havent heard of like 90% of these #the perks of being into one of the most popular series of our time i guess

Saw your botw role reversal!zelink AU and I wanted to let you know that THIS FIC EXISTS — “the future is bright” by socksock on ao3. Hero!Zelda wakes up in the Shrine of Resurrection 100 years later with amnesia and also pregnant. It’s rated E for a bit of spicy-ness in the memories/flashbacks but WOW IS IT FANTASTIC, absolutely wonderful role reversal and superb writing.

I love that fic! It's also not really what I was thinking of at all 😅. I wanted a fic with Prince Link who was still a hero and commoner Zelda who was still the goddess.

yet again thinking about modern au botw zelink living that role-reversed domestic married life.... Link as a stay-at-home dad who is super good with kids, essentially becomes a dad to all his kids' friends, and cooks the most amazing meals, but could also kill you with one finger if you dared to threaten his family.... Zelda having a kickass STEM career and making big coin, but still taking plenty of time to relax and love and support her husband and kids.... good. excellent

WIP Tag Game

Thank you so much @deiliamedlini and @voltfruits for the tag!! <3 <3

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and I’ll post a little snippet of it and/or tell you something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

WHEW!! I have a baby collection of WIPs and they are grossly skewed towards “long fics” so idk when they’ll get any official postings. I don’t want to accidentally abandon one story for another because I really enjoy all the different ideas.

OnlyFandom: (long fic) working on Ch. 18!!

Masquerade: (oneshot) This is for the zelink-prompts “ball” and I am so embarrassed by how late I am in getting this done but I’m having fun with it!

Role Reversal Oneshot: Ah yes... that oneshot I started when I was drunk... yup... that happened.

Tainted (working title): (long fic) Pre-calamity BotW that follows along with the memories starting at #8. This is the fic inspired by the trauma that was getting a skin biopsy so it’s more of a cannon divergence than a full AU I guess??

Untitled TP/BotW AU: (long fic) I’m sure people are gunna hate me for this one but this idea started around the same time I began OnlyFandom so I’ve been mulling it over for a w h i l e. But it’s a Zelink BotW AU where the calamity didn’t happen (yet?) and Zelda is really interested in researching Twilight era relics and such. Poor Link has been stuck as a wolf for like 9 years lmao

Pirate AU: (long fic) Okay I’m not sure if this one really counts because it only exists as a long list of bullet points and a shit ton of doodles. I’m more interested in drawing the stupid little comics I’ve sketched out than actually writing it so idk~

I know some people are including drawing WIPs but dear god I have a MILLION so I won’t burden you all with that hahaha

I’m totally gunna cop out and say if you haven’t been tagged yet and want to try, GO FOR IT!!! Cause it looks like most of my writing mutuals have all been tagged already and I’ll feel very silly if I accidentally tag ya’ll a g a i n haha.

#WIP tag game #this was fun!#now you can see my shame #so many long fics #send help #tell me to STOP #lmao #loz fanfic #zelink #botw #botw au #fanfiction #a03

Sneak peek for "You Used To Tell Me I Was Brave"

Lady Urbosa seemed a stern and no-nonsense sort of woman. The walk to the bazaar was uncomfortably silent as Urbosa strode through the sand, head held high.

So Zelda was surprised when Urbosa's stern face suddenly melted into a fond smile. She picked up the pace, almost at a run and Zelda struggled to keep up.

"Little dragon!" she called warmly. Link, perched on a rock overlooking the oasis, looked up and beamed. He scrambled to put his sketchbook away and ran into Urbosa's open arms.

It was the happiest Zelda had seen the prince in weeks. No thanks to my own wretched behaviour, she thought with a stab of guilt.

"How are you?" Urbosa asked Link, gently tucking his hair off his face. "Have you been well?"

Okay, Link signed. He didn't look at Zelda. Urbosa hummed, plainly unconvinced.

"And your mother?" Urbosa asked, raising an eyebrow.

Link didn't respond. Urbosa sighed and nodded, seeming to understand something in that silence, something Zelda couldn't figure out.

"Well then..." Urbosa gestured for Link and Zelda to follow her and she led them to a quiet spot behind the inn. "So, Queen Lianna wants me to pilot Vah Naboris," she said quietly. Almost too quietly. It sounded more like a hiss.

Link nodded. Zelda crossed her fingers behind her back and prayed the chief's infamous temper wasn't about to erupt.

Urbosa's face could have been carved from stone. She gazed across the dessert at Naboris's prone form.

"I see," she murmured, seemingly to herself. She suddenly gave a sharp bark of laughter and pulled Link into another hug.

"I will pilot the Divine Beast," she said. "You are precious to me, little dragon, and you need my help. I couldn't possibly refuse."

So far, their records were Zelda in the lead by three spars. Only three. When had she last playfully fought with someone like this? When was the last time someone could keep up?

When had sparring last been fun, and not another pressure point?

She hadn’t known Prince Link was this good.

Even with the tip of the Master Sword at his chest, Link was beaming. His hair had slipped from its ponytail, a tangled mess. Zelda was sweating terribly. Both of them were out of breath.

“Again?” Zelda asked.

They really should get going. They were nearly home. It wouldn’t do to be late.

Link’s smile widened. He nodded and retrieved his sword from the ground.

He wasted no time in swinging at her, and Zelda barely blocked it. Both of them were laughing, and Zelda couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt like herself and not just the Heroine.

On the journey to Akkala, Zelda uncovers more memories of her and Link's relationship. This time, thankfully, no nasty surprises await her.

That's not to say she has no surprises.

In your story “You Used To Tell Me I Was Brave” is this version of Mipha not interested in Link romantically? She seemed more interested in marriage as a means to protect him and stepped down without much of a fuss upon realizing his feeling for Zelda. in fact, this Mipha kind of gives me AroAce vibes.

This version of Mipha loved Link platonically, there was no romantic intent behind her plan to propose. She just wanted to protect him

(And she can do a lot worse than marrying her dear friend. She’d be happy to marry him for that reason alone, even if Lianna wasn’t abusive)

I’m not sure if she’s aro-ace, but I can see her being somewhere on that spectrum

Ganon’s burning golden eyes were full of hatred. He was hatred incarnate; a monstrosity in every sense of the word.

And Link would do everything in his power to survive this.

Link raised one delicate hand and the shining symbol of the Triforce appeared. The light around him swelled, growing brighter and brighter.

“Zelda,” Link said, clinging to his memories of the person he loved most. “I’ll be waiting for you.”

Then Ganon crashed down on him; darkness and light mixed together and Link was swept away.

Snapshots from the lives of Prince Link and Lady Zelda, Heroine of Hyrule. How they met, how their love came to be, and how they saved Hyrule from annihilation.

(Or: Link is the prince. Zelda is the Champion. They both have a way of taking Hyrule by surprise.)

Have a "Urbosa, The Gerudo Chief" snippet from my Zelink role-swap 'verse (Age of Calamity edition)

Given that Queen Lianna had sent Link to recruit Chief Urbosa, they couldn't go into Gerudo Town itself. Lady Impa could have entered the town and passed along the queen's request, but Urbosa had written directly to Link, to tell him she'd meet him at Kara Kara Bazaar.

Zelda heard the rumours, of course. People said Chief Urbosa hated Queen Lianna. The rumours said Chief Urbosa lost her temper at the mere mention of Queen Lianna's name.

Zelda had not been at court long, but even she heard how few people believed Urbosa would take the role of pilot. None of the servants believed she would willingly work with the queen. The nobility thought otherwise; they insisted Urbosa would "see reason" and accept the title.

Zelda just hoped Urbosa wouldn't aim that infamous temper at them.

Prince Link, usually so silent and solemn, picked up the pace when he spotted Urbosa and her quartet of guards. His eyes totally lit up and, although he didn't smile, even that small change totally transformed his face.

Impa said Lady Urbosa was a kind, albeit no-nonsense woman. Impa said the Gerudo Chief highly favoured Link; that she loved the prince as her own.

Chief Urbosa, to Zelda's bewilderment, did not appear happy to see him.

"So, the queen isn't here?" she asked, sneering. "Nor is the princess?"

Link faltered. He shook his head. No, he signed. You knew they wouldn't be here.

Urbosa sighed. "...Fine," she snapped, rolling her eyes. "I suppose you'll do. I can still send a message."

With that, the Gerudo Chief unsheathed her scimitar and rushed at Link with a battle cry. Urbosa's guards gave startled screams.

"My lady, stop!"

"Lady Urbosa, have you gone mad!?"

"What are you doing!?"

"No!"

Impa and Zelda jumped in front of Link, blades raised. Link unsheathed his sword, but he looked as horrified as Urbosa's guards. The guards ran forward, trying to intercept Urbosa and her apparent fit of madness.

Just as Urbosa's Scimitar of The Seven was about to clash with Impa and Zelda's swords, there was a sudden BOOM! Lightning crashed down from the clear sky, hitting Urbosa dead-on. The chief screamed and jerked about like a puppet. Her sword and shield dropped to the ground.

Just like that, in five seconds flat, the chaos stopped. Everyone froze, staring as Urbosa crumpled to the ground with a pained gasp.

"Really?" a woman drawled. "I leave for a few hours and this is what I return to?"

"Lady Urbosa!?" Impa gasped.

Marching across the bazaar, heedless of the gawping crowd of merchants, guards and travellers, was...Lady Urbosa? She was followed by a woman who closely resembled her. Each of them looked furious.

Urbosa (was it really her?) spotted Link and ran over, her face suddenly alight with panic.

"Little dragon, are you hurt?" she demanded.

Prince Link stared at her. Slowly, he shook his head. He smiled; a small, confused smile, but there all the same.

"Wait, but- but if you're Chief Urbosa then...?" Zelda trailed off uncertainly. Heaped on the ground, the other Urbosa stopped twitching and began to grumble.

"You morons have some nerve," the other Urbosa said in a man's voice. "Thinking you can go toe-to-toe with me..."

He leapt to his feet and, in a puff of smoke and red paper tags, he transformed from Urbosa's double into...Someone else. A tall, rotund man in a skin-tight red suit. He wore a white mask, painted with an eye; the Sheikah symbol upside down.

A Yiga.

Urbosa pushed Link behind her, her weapon aimed at the Yiga. The woman with her snarled and pointed her spear at the Yiga. Impa gave a horrified gasp and pulled out a second sword, aiming both weapons for the man's neck. Zelda stepped forward, wary gaze on the Yiga, firmly keeping Prince Link behind her.

"I'd have preferred gutting the queen or her little heir," the Yiga snarled. "And letting them bleed out on the sand. It would have been perfect for Lord Ganon, but instead she sent you."

One by one, more Yiga began to appear across the bazaar. Yiga on the inn's roof, surrounding the stalls; Yiga in the trees and all across the dunes.

"You'll do, Princey," the Yiga sneered. "We can still show your precious mommy what Master Kohga and the Yiga Clan are capable of!"

“Well then…” Urbosa gestured for Link and Zelda to follow her and she led them to a quiet spot behind the inn. “So, Queen Lianna wants me to pilot Vah Naboris,” she said quietly. Almost too quietly. It sounded more like a hiss.

Link nodded. Zelda crossed her fingers behind her back and prayed, once again, that the chief's infamous temper wasn't about to erupt. Surely she wouldn’t explode on Link, not when she was so plainly fond of him. Zelda, however, was a different story.

Urbosa's face could have been carved from stone. She gazed across the desert at Naboris's prone form.

“I see,” she murmured, seemingly to herself. She suddenly gave a sharp bark of laughter and pulled Link into another hug.

“I will pilot the Divine Beast," she said. "You are precious to me, little dragon, and you need my help. I couldn't possibly refuse.”

Zelda reaches Kara Kara Bazaar, and memories of Chief Urbosa come flooding back. Urbosa acted like more of a mother than Queen Lianna ever did. Zelda can only hope Urbosa won't blame her for Link's current entrapment.

In the past, Urbosa has a request for Zelda. In the present, Zelda fights to keep her promise.

She ran right up behind the Yiga and stabbed him straight through the back. The tip of the Master Sword poked out of his chest.

The Yiga gasped, choking on his own blood. When she withdrew her sword, he fell to the ground in a blood-soaked heap. She didn’t spare him a glance; she jumped over his corpse to Prince Link and they stood together, their weapons aimed at the remaining Yiga.

“Two on two,” Zelda hissed at them. “That about evens the odds, wouldn’t you say?”

“Y-you killed him!” one of them gasped. He had the nerve to sound shocked and horrified, as if they weren’t trying to murder a teenager. They were both men from the look of things. How old they were was impossible to guess. Young enough at any rate.

He was right, of course. Zelda had just killed a man. A person, not a monster, even if he was an assassin. She had a feeling that would hit her later.

For now, she had two more assassins to fight. A prince to protect.

She chanced a glance at him; he was glaring at the remaining Yiga, a sheen of sweat on his brow. No injuries she could see, thank the Goddess.

“Shall we, Highness?” she asked, jerking her head at their enemies.

Link nodded. Together, they charged at the Yiga.

Zelda has finally made it to Gerudo Town and meets with Chief Riju.

In the past and present, Zelda faces the Yiga Clan.

Five more of the Guardians slowly stood up, their eyes shining blue. Zelda stepped closer, her breath caught in her throat.

Amazing, she thought. But then one of the Guardians began to slowly turn in place, looking at its audience. Its eye began to flash and the Guardian beeped loudly and quickly. A red light appeared in its eye and a beam shot out, aiming right at…At…

Prince Link! Zelda’s eyes widened. The Prince’s back was turned. Dread washed over Zelda and she began to run.

In which Zelda meets Prince Link in unusual circumstances. 100 years later, she meets with Lady Impa and tries to remember.
