A Study in Perspicacity by silentsafflina

Summary
'I do not need to know how many shades of blue can be found in the irises of the Hero's eyes or that in a certain light they can match the Master Sword's hilt (a dubious assertion). Nor do I need to be made aware of how many individual sweat droplets he excretes while partaking in his early morning training exercises, which he apparently practises while half-nude. I have also yet to find myself interested in how long it takes for him to notice his hair tie is missing or that his hair is longer than it appears and smells of tea tree shampoo.'
Or, Zelda discovers that clouded eyes will never see the truth.

Untouchable Things by Bitterlikesweets

Summary
Link shouldn't allow this. Shouldn't indulge himself when he knows that Sidon is far, far from his reach. He shouldn't allow this because the avatar might only be doing this because Link wants it to, and how will he ever explain something like that to Sidon? He shouldn't be doing this because Sidon might find out somehow, because the king might already know, because this might taint their precious friendship.
He shouldn't because a taste of intimacy like this is only going to make Link want the real thing even more.
Or
Sidon's avatar starts behaving strangely, teasing Link with affectionate touches and gestures that the real Sidon would never allow; a torment so sweet, Link simultaneously wants it to end and never stop. At the same time, Sidon is plagued with strange dreams of his dearest friend. Dreams where he can't hold back desires he didn't even know he had.

Summary
!! This entire work is based entirely off of fanart I found depicting Aether and Lumine as younger siblings to Link (Artist remains unknown, work was not credited) !!
"Beyond Hyrule, and beyond the stars, lies hundreds and thousands of different worlds each unique and never the same.”
“The stars we see every night are just as special as the countless of different worlds there could be. My mother and father, just as I will tell you now, always believed that some of the stars we see each night are their own person, watching over us and all the worlds that they hang over.”

Summary
Link awakens from his slumber confused, disoriented, and annoyed with the pounding pain in his temples.
Then he hears a voice. A voice that instantly brings his muscles to relax, his mind to quiet.
"You are the light, our light, that must shine upon Hyrule once again. Please be careful, Link. Now, go."
....go?

Story starts at the end of botw, rolls through the 5 year gap, and into totk all the way to the end so def spoiler warning if you haven't completed either games and also a huge attempt to make ToTK make SENSE

Summary
“I thought you…” Zelda's voice is quiet, barely above a whisper. “I thought you despised me.”
Link’s eyes widen with shock. Zelda can practically see the way his mind races with thoughts – thoughts so intangible and unknown to her, hidden behind his ever-present silence.
Then Link kneels. He bows his head, as if his eyes are unworthy of gazing upon her.
“I could never despise you, Your Highness.” His voice is full of more emotion than Zelda has ever heard from him – such an intense, honest reverence. “I… I live to serve you.”
-------
No prophecy or destiny is more important to Link than his responsibilities as Princess Zelda's personal knight. He would follow her anywhere - a fact proven by his strangely familiar dreams. At first, Zelda dislikes the knight that her father insists must accompany her everywhere. But over time, they grow incredibly close.As time goes by, Zelda contemplates her role as Princess, while Link tries to figure out the meaning of his dreams - which have started to feel more like memories.
Or: A closer look at Link, Zelda, and their relationship throughout the events of BotW, (eventually TotK too,) and during parts of their lives not shown by the games.

It Could've Been You by halfsharkhalfhammah

Summary
Link knew it was arrogant of himself to think that his closest friend had any feelings aside from platonic toward him - but who could blame him? Sidon had been nothing but kind, caring and gentle to him; the Zora Prince treated the Hylian as though he were a precious gem on his royal accessories. They had far too many moments together that made Link’s heart skip too many beats. But maybe the Hylian had mistook his actions as something more than friendly. So, why was it that after The Upheaval, the young Hylian had discovered that his dearest friend was engaged to another?

Summary
No one has even paused to think about to ask Link if he's coping well--if the battles and duties he's upheld affect him in anyway, or if he would like a break, a vacation, or even an embrace of care.
Does Link ever collapse to the weight of everything he has done, and has yet to? What would it take, if not Ganon himself?
A Zoran marriage, that's what.

Summary
Philosophers called Soulmates a way for a fractured universe to piece itself together. A way for chaos in the soul to find peace.
The kids at Link’s school dreamed about it as if it were a way to fill the loneliness that comes with being seventeen.
Link called it what it really was. A curse. There is no running from a curse.
Wild has spent his whole life with marks telling him he is bound to eight other people. His Soulmates. People he has never met but who will change his life forever, and on his Seventeenth birthday he is set to meet the first of them. Only he's quite happy with who he is by himself, and isn't exactly fond of strangers wanting in on his soul. Maybe he'll runaway from it all, or maybe a chance encounter with a goat expert will sooth his fears.

Summary
He wonders if Sidon is aware of how many times they met. The number of times he jumped off that guard tower and greeted him like a stranger. How many times he warned Link of the beast on Luto's crossing.
Is he aware of how many times they've gone up against Vah Ruta and failed? How many times Link has drowned in this very lake knowing when he comes up Sidon will be none the wiser? Or does he still think Link is good at this whole hero thing.
And if he did know, what would he say?Series

Summary
It's quite sad to see this; the Dining Hall destroyed. It'd be sad for anyone, but it's especially sad for him, considering he knew what it looked like 100 years ago. He remembers the glorious banners stretching up the wall, tapestries of the Triforce and of ancient legends, all of which have been ripped down by now. Most of all he remembers Zelda, and wishes more than anything that he could see her right now in the Dining Hall by his side, even if it's destroyed.
