Summary
Link and Ghirahim argue.
They complain.
They threaten each other with blades, brooms, and words.
And Skyloft realises, long before the demon and the hero do, that this is less a rivalry and rather instead some odd form of foreplay. -

Summary
Five years post a world war, the former sailor turned alcoholic PI Link Coutts and his snarky assistant Midna Dahl are tasked by Daphnes Nohansen with finding his missing daughter Zelda, whose disappearance comes following her auction win of an eerie, talking mirror piece. The mirror's strange powers and abilities to open portals to dark realms pits the three against adversaries looking to seize the mirror for their own twisted desires.
When he’d been drafted, nobody asked him if he knew how to swim or if he was any good with machinery. Link simply had all his limbs and a heartbeat, and he could nod on command. That was good enough. And thus, he was quickly reduced, like so many other young men, to his family name and a serial number, and then told, “Congrats, you’re submarine material!”
He turns to Zelda, feeling chilled from all the sweat now. “Can you help me up?” he asks her. “I can’t get my leg unstuck.”
She squeezes his hand. “Link, you’re not stuck. You don’t have a leg to get stuck."

Summary
Intertwining lights of Gold and Sheikah Blue, forming wings at her back as she jumped. Invisible to her, but shining like a star to anyone with Courage in their veins.
Falling until the last moment and whipping out a piece of fabric that was very obviously unnecessary. She turned and started to bound over to the heroes she had helped on their way.
None of the eight recognized her until she got closer.
Legend gasped, Sky shrieked, and Wind looked like he was going to faint. Time stood stunned, even him blown away by the appearance, Hyrule took in a sharp and short breath, Four looked like they were going to scream and Wars eyes widened until they couldn't anymore. Twilight actually started shaking from what seemed to be disbelief and possibly excitement.
"Well, well, well, Heroes! Looks like we meet again!"

Summary
“It’s over,” Zelda breathed, echoing the first words she had spoken after Demise was defeated. She said it like a prayer.
Link’s eyes found the Master Sword. She rested atop his desk, the decorated scabbard almost glowing in the meager moonlight seeping through the window. For a moment, he could’ve sworn that the hilt pulsed with familiar light, but there was no sound, and there was no companion.
Zelda tightened the embrace. “It’s all over.”
Link didn’t respond.
——————
Or: After defeating Demise and hearing Fi’s final farewell, Link doesn’t lay the Master Sword to rest. He keeps her with him. This has unforeseen consequences.A darkness lingers.

North Hyrule's finest by grogusolos
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom

Summary
As a scholarship student from run-down northern Necluda, Link has always handled life on his own. He’s just finding his footing in the prestigious university of North Hyrule, when everything crumbles—he’s accused of something that could destroy his future. Suspicions of drug dealing on university grounds paint him as scapegoat--and nobody is going to believe someone like him.
Then comes an unexpected offer. Zelda, his coursemate and the daughter of a big-shot CEO, proposes a deal: an absurd amount of rupees in exchange for one thing—accompanying her on a road trip across southeast Hyrule to search for her long-lost mother. It sounds simple enough. Drive, get paid, clear his name.
…right?

Summary
The silence grew cloying, only cut by clockwork. The air was suffocating. The temple walls echoed with a held breath. Groose’s knee bounced uncontrollably. He had done his part. The world teetered on the edge of a blade, and he could do no more.
The Gate kept time, counting the seconds of purgatory.
Groose tried to do the same.

Summary
Link wasn’t sure why he was helping Groose, packing him a bag so he’d have worldly possessions down on the surface. Maybe his heart broke when Zelda sealed herself away, and it had made him softer than usual.
He’s not sure why he’s helping Groose, but he knows why he’s doing the same for Zelda. Decorating around the crystal she’s sealed in, wrapping a blanket around it so she’s nice and warm, reading to her just in case she can hear him.
He would do anything for her. Hylia counted on it, and she was right. After all, she’s still his Zelda.

Summary
A blade that can stop any curse. It might be a reach, but it had worked before, and it could work again. The Master Sword was the most powerful sword he’d ever known, and if he could just touch it, maybe everything would be okay.
The real issue was how he was going to get it away from Sky.

Now in Skyloft with no idea how soon he’ll be able to return to his Hyrule, Twilight tries to find an alternative way to break the curse.

Legend of Zelda: The first generation by THEDEATHHERSE

Summary
This is a tale you humans have passed down for uncounted generations.. One that tells of a war of unmatched scale and ferocity, the likes of which may never be seen-
..You’ve already heard that tale a million times, haven't you? I invite you to ponder- what would have occurred if there was not one hero- but 6? Sounds ridiculous, I know.. And confusing. But, I assure you… that idea may not be as far-fetched as you’d think. Because there’s somebody dumb enough to write about it..
My sleep-deprived autistic 16-year-old ass running on nothing but shredded cheese and a prayer. Also..why the hell not! I’ve been extremely hyperfixated on LOZ Skyward Sword recently, and I saw on A03 that not many people wrote about the game.. So.. I decided to help change that.
Also yes- Link’s friends from the Knight academy are joining him through his quest to save Zelda. Couldn’t let him get all the fun to himself, could I?
May or may not contain:
Redemption arc(s)
Adventure
Team-Building
Swearing
Character Development
Demon pigs wearing Spandex..You have been warned.
Prepare yourselves. This is going to be one hell of a ride.

Summary
Link stood, staring at the spot where Demise once stood. Smoke billowed from the place as the endless sky cleared. The darkness siphoned within the Master Sword. For a moment, he was lost. Floating through those clouds, the endless serenity where Demise cast his final words unto him. He dared to feel at peace.
The Sword that Seals Darkness gleamed in its pedestal, shimmering the same as the tears falling down Zelda’s cheeks. Their final goodbyes to dear friends rested with her, but the heart still yearned for them. Link turned, his own eyes watery as he faced Groose and Zelda.
It was over. They were going to be okay.

Summary
The Sealed Grounds were silent on the night the world ended.
The Chosen Hero had stood against Demise in all his dark power, standing up straight despite the raw waves of evil coming off of the god. He had bargained for a duel to the death. Demise had accepted, allowing the Hero to follow after him into a realm beyond reality. And the Chosen Hero had fought through the waves of dark magic pushing against him, entering the portal without a glance behind him.
And high above the lingering portal, a young man clutched the body of a dear friend.

AKA what on EARTH was Groose doing during the Demise fight?
