Why not! My friend Zaniida talked to me recently about poetry and how I should read more. So I'm trying some of that while also taking a stab at writing some for Linktober Shadow. Apologies to all my user subscribers for the daily email notices.

Summary
"And when the daylight's fading
We're gonna play in the dark 'til it's golden again"The Upheaval nearly killed Rinne, leaving the Hateno scholar afflicted with a mysterious sickness that slowly drains her life. Her only hope is a rumored cure: the golden Sundelion. With her best friend Casper, she begins a desperate quest across a chaotic Hyrule, joining a massive alliance of fellow survivors: a pragmatic Gerudo warrior on her way to meet with her husband, a Goron grieving the loss of his son, a Zora child displaced by the pollution, a disabled Rito itching to prove himself, a mysterious Sheikah girl on a dangerous mission, and a survivor of the Lurelin pirate invasion desperately searching for his missing sisters.
United by circumstance, they must now rely on one another's unique knowledge and resilience. Their journey becomes a continuous test of the unbreakable friendships they forge, and they know that if they stand together, they have a chance to survive the relentless, shattered world of the Upheaval.

Summary
The puppet continued to gaze out at the training field, seemingly ignoring the construct at her back even as she continued to speak to it. “I don’t think you’re watching her to learn tactics. Your spirit calls to hers, does it not? Even if you’re merely a vessel. An echo. A fragment. Not a person.”
The Age of Imprisonment Puppet Zelda x Hero Construct fic that no one needed. Written based on a few seconds of trailer before the game released, so no spoilers for Age of Imprisonment here and also the game may break all my assumptions shortly.
For Linktober Day 23: Echo and Shadow Linktober Day 23: Transformation.

The Hero's Sacrifice by Ash_and_Napalm

Summary
The Demon King stands before them, his sickly green skin adorned by fiery red and orange tufts of body hair. The whirls of hair trail down, down, down his abs, dipping below the torn fabric to… Link’s eyes widen, panting heavily.
His eyes dart between Princess Zelda’s prone form between him and Ganondorf, his breath coming out laboured; his heart pounding.
A terrible look comes over Ganondorf’s face; his lips began to twist in a nauseating leer. Link can see his fiery eyes slowly, salaciously take in the Princess’s unconscious body, her dress ripped and singed.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Link sacrifices his virginity to The Demon King to distract him until Zelda wakes up and can form a plan to rescue him.

The Battle for Hyrule. by TheCrazyGal_97
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
30 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Everything was set for the warriors of Hyrule. They had gathered at Lookout Landing and began preparations to take back the castle.
But what if The Demon King decided to take action before they could set their plans into motion? Why did this meticulously laid out plan go so wrong?
A what if story I wrote out a while back, was disappointed that everyone gathering at Lookout Landing for nothing so here's my version of a battle that could have happened.
WARNING, THIS FIC CONTAINS MENTIONS OF LINK'S PAST TRAUMA AND DESCRIPTION OF INJURIES AND POSSIBLE DEATH.
Also please note that I had the full story and it's sequel written before the trailer for Age of Imprisonment.

On Tears of the Kingdom and Disability by citrusella

Summary
...What are the implications of Link's story in Tears of the Kingdom from the perspective of a disability reading? Is it as simple as it seems or is there more to it?
Nobody wrote a post or essay or anything with all the things I was thinking and so I took it upon myself to do so. And then I came up with even more things I'm not sure I was originally thinking in an attempt to cover all bases! Fun!

Summary
Most days were fine. Most days were relaxing and there wasn’t much reminder of what he privately called the Second Calamity. Some days however, the pain was a constant. Despite not having his arm, or Rarus one either, there was still a deep, blinding pain where his arm should be.

Link's Subjugation by Wix (Xaidurk)
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
01 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
The gloom has captured Link and spirited him away to the depths of Hyrule. There, the Demon King waits patiently to corrupt and subjugate the Hero of Time. Though Link is a stalwart individual and not easily overtaken, Ganondorf has a trick up his sleeve: the magitech of the Zonai. Can Link fend off the influence of the cursed set of armor? Well--of course not! This fic is just about entirely pornographic with little plot to speak of. Heavy influence on the eroticism inherent to the Miner's Set of armor in ToTK.

Summary
Five years after the defeat of Astor and Calamity Ganon, a mysterious and deadly Malice-like substance known as Gloom begins to leak out from under Hyrule Castle, causing several people to fall seriously ill. Troubled by both the Gloom and Calamity Ganon coming from the same place, King Rhoam sends his daughter, Princess Zelda, and her appointed knight, best friend, and Prince Consort to Princess Mipha of the Zora, Link, into the catacombs under the castle to investigate.
Among many other discoveries, Link and Zelda find a mummy deep in the catacombs that suddenly reanimates and attacks Link, shattering the Master Sword in the process, before plunging Hyrule into a literal state of Upheaval, raising Hyrule Castle up into air, with Princess Zelda disappearing in the ensuing chaos.
Waking up on an island in the sky with his right arm replaced with a strange, almost magical prosthetic, Link must travel across Hyrule, and even above and below it, in order to find Princess Zelda, and rid the land of the evil now plauging it:
Ganondorf, the Demon King.

This will just be a bunch of little sort stories, probably not even complete, that I wrote for 10 mins in my English class. Sorry if the grammar or punctuation is weird, I had requirements to meet to get a good grade on them.
Each chapter will equal about 10 mins of me writing. Tags will update as I add chapters. -
