Summary
"I know that Muzu has been encouraging the two of you to put more time into wedding planning, and I know that you're comfortable in the engagement state—"
"Father. We've discussed this several times, we do not feel there is reason to rush through the engagement. I appreciate the interest in us devoting more time to planning but—" When Link placed a hand over the back of his, he paused and looked to him.
Link held his free hand flat with fingers straightened and tapped his thumb to his sternum twice. 'It's fine.'
Sidon's hand rotated under Link's, his long fingers curling around and squeezing his hand endearingly. He knows they can't put it off forever.
--
In an age of great healing across Hyrule, they are content. King Sidon has taken quickly to his new responsibilities, and Link is balancing his regular duties as Zelda's knight and companion, aware his time in Central Hyrule is limited.
The wedding has come up before and they've tried redirecting the topic time and time again, expressing they are in no hurry. When the topic is broached once again, Link suspects an unspoken urgency — after all, a Hylian life lasts only a fraction of the average Zora.

Summary
Link finds himself drawn to the quieter corners of this Hyrule, often finding himself in the company of those he trusts, or spending time with certain individuals, with these moments having quite the lasting impact on him. Link has done a lot for Hyrule, maybe it's time he understands that he means a lot to many individuals, and has a lot in common with more people than than he realizes.
This fic is a collection of short stories, with each story focusing on a meaningful interaction between Link and a particular inhabitant of Hyrule, with said interactions having a profound impact on his life, in some way shape or form, either through a hard lesson learned, a reminder that he matters, or he's worth more than just his title.

Summary
Tears of the Kingdom but from Link’s perspective. He is his own character with his own story and he deserves his own moments. Link should get to cry and hurt and feel but he didn’t get to in the game so I got to write it myself! This game and these headcanons have been rattling around in my brain for a year, I had to get them out. This is primarily about grief, love, the hurting heart of a hero and the challenges he must endure.

When Ganondorf, Prince of the Gerudo was born, he was the twin brother of Lady Riju. However, he was younger, and Riju was the Gerudo Chief, with her brother as her right hand man. While his sister has Urbosa's power over lightning, he had the ability to learn new spells, as well as his control over the sands and earth. During BotW, he was studying under an old acquaintance of his mother. Now, in the aftermath of TotK, he has returned. The Master Sword is stronger than ever before, Zelda is Queen, and Link has begun to take on a new career, dedicating his life to studying the Calamity and the past and the Depths and the Sky Islands. But now, things are changing, and corruption is returning to the world, but Ganondorf isn't the cause, and there's a voice out there that seems to be calling him.
Or Link accidentally touches an ancient artifact that forces his body to be the the vessel for the Demon Calamity, the son of the Demon King Demise, and everything goes to shit. Don't worry though, Hylia made Link and Ganondorf swap Triforce pieces, so everything's fine, not that many people will die lol.
