love triangle with link & zelda

pairing: link x gn!reader x zelda

tags: pre-calamity setting, rivalry (zelink over reader), zelda dislikes link, jealous!zelda, reader works at hyrule castle, friends to lovers (zelda & reader), distant!link falling for reader, simp!zelda

you were one of the few people working close enough with the king and the royal family to not only get to meet princess zelda, but her knight and wielder of the master sword, link, as well!

zelda had been pining for you for ages, quietly crushing on you and spending every free minute she had with you, when she wasn't busy devoting her time to her studies

yet that free time she had was cut short when link was assigned as her protector. and suddenly, she couldn't spend much time alone with you anymore, as he was always there too!

link kept his distance from you at first, knowing zelda already wasn't fond of him, so he didn't want to give her anymore reasons to dislike him, by stealing you away from her

but when you made advances towards him, trying to become his friends and mend his relationship with the princess, link couldn't just ignore you. and so, he became not only your friend but developed a small crush on you as well…

zelda grew up rather sheltered, so she was so used to having you all to herself that she couldn't stand seeing you with link. her jealousy annoyed her, but she couldn't help it…

link was much more content with giving up on you and leaving you to be with zelda, while the princess couldn't imagine ever letting the opposite happen!

even as zelda slowly began to get along with link, she couldn't help but feel jealous whenever he was around you – which was way too often for her taste!

ultimately, zelda just wanted you to be happy, whether that was with her or link. but she couldn't imagine herself being happy without you by her side…

Post-Calamity Life

There will be spoilers for the end of BOTW and mild spoilers for TOTK Please, I just love them both so much and they deserve a break from the constant tragedies and heartache ;-; Zelda x GN!Reader x Link

||General||

• They are so incredibly grateful to have you by their side, both during the nightmare that was the Calamity and now when things have settled

• Perhaps it is the trauma that surrounds the both of them from having lost so much during the Calamity, but they rarely ever leave your side -- they want to make sure you’re really there, that you’re not going to disappear if they blink

• Regardless if you had been apart of the fight 100 years ago --and survived thanks to Purah’s youth serum-- or if you only joined the fight in recent years, they are both so appreciative of all that you have done

• Because of the destruction all across Hyrule, and especially of the castle, it was quickly established that Zelda would be staying with Link

• And you of course

• It doesn’t matter how far you lived before, they would both be very insistent on you living with them in Hateno

• If you didn’t want to leave your previous residence behind, Zelda would enlist in Robbie and Purah’s help in instating a way to quickly travel between the two

• Lots of domestic bliss

• It feels strange for the three of you to have settled into a comfortable homelife after so much death and carnage and ruin --so foreign that the encroaching fear of something shattering the peace lingered constantly-- but slowly but surely you all are learning to enjoy the moments you share

• Link does far more than he should around the house

• House repairs and maintenance, cooking, cleaning, etc.

• It's mostly busywork

• He was so used to doing things on his own, and having something to do constantly because of his travels and destiny

• But now that peace has somewhat settled and returned, he feels he has to make up for his lack of work

• You and Zelda do your best to help him, in hopes that you can show him that he isn’t alone anymore

• Zelda’s strong suit doesn’t lie in cooking --she understands the concept but executing it doesn't always end in favorable results-- so she usually takes up cleaning up after meals

• She also loves to do the shopping

• It gives her a chance to get out of the house and actually interact with her people more closely, and it gives her a chance to experience something she would have never if her life in the castle remained

• You do your best to help where you can, either by helping Zelda or Link with their own chores or filling the gaps that still need to be filled

• Mending clothes in one such chore you’ve designated yourself

• How many pieces of clothing did Link obtain that were covered in cuts and tears?

• How many times did Zelda or Link nick their clothes when it snagged on something?

• Healing was another big task you’d taken upon yourself

• Link doesn’t even notice half of the minor injuries he gets anymore, so he’s grateful when you see them and help him tend to them

• They love to give you small gifts, usually things they find while traveling across Hyrule

• They want you to know that they’re always thinking of you

• Cuddles are a MUST

• The two are far more touch starved than they would like to admit

• They just want to feel you close to them, it helps solidify that you’re really there for them, that this isn’t all just in their head

||Zelda||

• Gardening has become one of her main hobbies, and she invites you to join her often

• Although she mostly grows various flowers and medicinal herbs --for your potions-- she has picked up a few tips on growing vegetables from the Hateno locals

• Despite how all other attempts at domesticating the Silent Princess have failed, she has managed to successfully grow 3 that have sprouted intertwined

• She views this as a sign that the three of you are meant to be together, because of the legend about swearing your love on one

• She loves to take you on her excursions across Hyrule during the restoration process

• Especially when visiting the various stables and helping to take care of all the different creatures across the land

• She named a Dondon after you ;-;

• She loves to go out riding with you across Hyrule, it gives her an excuse to take in the scenery you

• The children of Hateno ask about you constantly, expressing that they’d wish you’d visit more whenever Zelda stopped by to teach

• If she has just fallen asleep or is in between being asleep and awake, she is a light sleeper

• But the second she’s out like a light, she sleeps like the dead

• It's actually kind of terrifying

• Her nightmares are not as frequent as Link’s, but she has a much more difficult time waking from them

• You’ll have to call out to her and shake her awake to free her from her own tormented thoughts

• She’s unable to get a word out over her hiccupy sobs, and she just clings to you until she’s able to calm herself down

• She is so incredibly grateful of you helping her through these moments, and she does her best to make it up to you the next morning

• She is a morning person and enjoys getting out to see the sunrise whenever she can

• Her affections are far shyer than Link’s

• This is mostly due to her upbringing, where she was supposed to refrain from expressing too much lest she give enemies something to use against her

• But she’s learning, slowly but surely, that it doesn’t have to be that way

• Because she wants to express herself, especially when it comes to her feelings of you

• Her favorite thing to do is to link pinkies together, it’s a way for her to know you’re right beside her no matter what you two are facing

• If you have it, she loves to play with your hair, no matter how long or short it may be

• She would love it if you played with her hair too, braiding and styling it how you please

• It gives her such a comfort, and she could fall asleep in your arms from how soothing it is

• She loves to read to you, even if you have no idea what she is talking about

• She just gets so excited about her findings on anything and everything and wants to share it with you as soon as possible

||Link||

• On the days where Link doesn’t have anything to do, he’ll follow you around as you do your daily routine

• Your presence is enough to put him at ease, and it’s enough to remind him that you’re really here, that you’re not going to up and disappear

• His affections are much more subtle than Zelda’s, although they are not as shy as hers

• Gentle touches on your shoulder or against the small of your back, grabbing your hand and intertwining your fingers, leaning down to press feathery kisses to the crown of your head

• He isn’t the best with words, so he puts all of his love and affection into his actions to show you how much he cherishes you

• He is so touched by how gently you treat him when you are treating his wounds

• The way your fingers ghost across his scars and how you utter such comforting whispers as you clean him up

• He recalls how kindly Mipha used to treat him and the others during the time of the Calamity, and he’s so incredibly grateful that someone else treats him with the same gentleness and humanity

• He can thrive off only a few hours of sleep, but there are days where he’s so exhausted that he can sleep through an entire day if given the chance

• It doesn’t matter if you were a fighter or not during the time of the Calamity, he’s going to teach you to fight

• He just wants you to be able to defend yourself should something ever happen, and there are days where he has to leave to help fight off any remaining monsters that linger across Hyrule so he wants you to be able to stay behind and keep things safe

• One of his all time favorite things to do with you is to go out riding horses

• It feels so freeing, just to be out in an open stretch of field and to be racing as fast as possible, feeling the wind whip through your hair and across your skin

• His memories may be scattered due to having been asleep for 100 years, but that doesn’t stop the nightmares from tearing through his mind every night

• He is such a light sleeper, both due to his rigorous training as a royal knight and because of his own anxiety and paranoia of being attacked at any moment

• He tries so hard not to wake you or Zelda on his worst nights, and he tries to slip out as quietly as he can to try and destress

• His main way of working through the stress and panic is training

• He has been known to work himself to near exhaustion just trying to chase his demons away

• If you do wake during the night and find him out training, sit with him

• He may not open up about his nightmares, at least not right away, but having your presence is enough to still his racing thoughts for even a moment

• There are nights where he can’t handle it all alone, the stress and pain and fear catching up to him all at once

• Those are the nights where he craves your presence the most, just to hold you and cry into your shoulder and allow himself a moment of vulnerability with one of the few who he trusts so dearly

What Your Favorite Tears of the Kingdom Ship Says About You

A sequel to this

Tears of the Kingdom:

Link x Zelda (ZeLink): You are a firm believer in the inherent romanticism of finding each other and moving past trauma.

Link x Sidon (SidLink): You are a firm believer in ignoring canon, especially to make it gay.

Sidon x Yona (SidYona): You just want good things for Yona. And really…you’re part of a rare breed.

Link x Sidon x Yona (SidYonLink): You’re definitely into MLM ships but you got sick of ppl saying you were a misogynist.

Rauru x Sonia (Raunia): You’re confused why anyone would fuck around with a toxic, love-hate couple when there’s a perfectly healthy couple right there.

Link x Ganondorf (GanLink): You’re confused why anyone would care about a perfectly healthy couple when there’s a toxic, love-hate couple to fuck around with. 

Zelda x Ganondorf (ZelGan): You project onto Link and you really want to get cucked.

Link x Zelda x Ganondorf (ZelGanLink): You’re just super horny.

Link x Paya (PayLink): You’re the type of person who only gets interested in a girl when she’s dating someone else.

Link x Purah (PurLink): You like big booba lady

Beedle x Reader: This is easily the most canon ship on list and I think that that’s beautiful.

life or death (or confession)

pairing: riju x gn!reader

summary: in a life or death situation, riju confesses to you!

“b-before we die here, i need to tell you… i love you–!”

riju had yelled out those words, closing her eyes as those last three words left her lips. she was waiting for the inevitable to happen; being killed by the enemy. but after a few silent moments, she slowly opened her eyes again, finding the bokoblin that had corner you dead on the ground.

“w-what…?”

as riju looked up, she spotted link and zelda, who had rushed to your aid together. slowly, riju tilted her head, to make sure you were fine as well, but dreading your reaction after what she just said.

“are the two of you okay?”

zelda noticed the tension as riju stared at you, but riju was quick to look away again and brush the whole situation off.

“y-yeah, we're doing great! i– i wasn't worried a bit! i knew you'd come save us… a-and… i didn't say anything either–!”

before you could reply to anything riju had said, she hurried ahead, still acting like nothing happened. but as nobody followed, she turned around again.

“c-come on! let's leave before we get attacked again…!”

[luvxiem]

child!luca who comes from the greatly respected kaneshiro family, one filled with generation after generation of loyal knights. luca, who grew up alongside the reader, the eldest child and heir to the crown. luca, who trained tirelessly day in and day out to feel worthy of the title of imperial knight. luca, who watches the reader from afar and blushes when they compliment his form.

luca, who gets knighted at only 15—the youngest to ever do so—and joins the imperial guard. his father praises his skill and celebrates his newfound knighthood and achievement with a party, but halfway through luca slips away from the crowd and ends up on a balcony. he admires the moon and prays that you remember him

knight!luca who watches with concealed worry at your coronation after the sudden death of your parents, who clutches the sword at his side tightly after hearing thinly veiled insults thrown at you from unimpressed nobles

knight!luca who serves his beloved emperor, who becomes the captain of the imperial knights and trains his subordinates to become the best they can be to protect you.

knight!luca who is assigned to guard you as you sleep, who averts his eyes when you begin to undress before him after dismissing the aids

knight!luca who stays oh so impossibly still when you brush a hand across his armored chest, heat radiating from his cheeks as he clenches his fists in an effort not to touch you. you, who is so radiant and beautiful, who is beyond his status as a knight and shouldn't, cannot be sullied by his callused hands and scarred fingers. you, who tucks a stray strand of blonde hair that escaped his ponytail behind his ear and strokes his cheek with clear fondness.

you, who knows your most loyal knight by name, who knows his favorite food and his drink of choice on his rare days off. you, who has watched him just as much as he's watched you, who has prayed for his safe return after a hard fought battle against invading forces. you, who tenderly removes every armor piece, every weapon from his body and drags him to your bed.

knight!luca who falls harder every day, who leaves sweet kisses against your hair and writes unspoken confessions into your skin. who lays beside you every night holding you tightly to his chest and thanking the gods every day for having the honor of loving you.

❤️️- fluff 🖤- Angst

Always (❤️️🖤) - Whilst Zelda is home and things seem to be going back to normal, everyone tries to move on, but Zelda cannot. Link gets her to confide in him, even if she struggles with that.

Look at me like that (❤️️) - Link loves Zelda' smile and laugh, so much that he gets flustered.

[saddled-on-stars]

Alright, I need opinions.

Okay, so I posted yesterday (or last night, I have really lost track of this weekend lmao) something about writing a fic and posting it on my account. I have my mind set on three options, so I have a poll here. It'll be up for three days :)

(Don't worry, I'm still TOTALLY taking requests!)

Unnatural Coincidences / Part 2

Parts 1 2 3 4 Epilogue

You have been in Hyrule for a while now, and some things just cannot stay hidden anymore.

General Info & Warnings: -This will be a four part story for now, with the last part being the most explicit. There is a potential to expand the non-explicit parts, if there is interest. -If you are under 18, please do not read this. You have been warned. -Italic words like this mean the words in "your language", as they are speaking Hylian with each other. -Feel free to comment, if you think instead of (Y/N) this story should be written from first or second person POV (or it should be an OC) Pairing: Zelda x Fem!Reader x Link

In the previous chapter: You had a steamy moment with Link, who you knew had feelings for Zelda (and vice versa). Now you have to go to work as usual, and then meet up with both of them in the evening.

_______________________

“Look, Link.”

“(y/n)”

They spoke at the same time.

“We should… probably talk about this, but you know I really need to go to work now.”

“Yes, okay, I agree. Let me walk you there, at least.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Oh Hylia, Zelda is going to be there. It’s even worse to say oh Hylia, because she literally has her blood. Would she get it? Man, this will be awkward.

They made it to the lab without speaking much more.

“Bye Link, see you this evening.”

“...sure.” he was a bit hesitant.

“I said, see you this evening.”

“Yeah yeah.”

She went in and joined Zelda and Purah, they were drinking their morning tea.

“Good morning (y/n)!” Zelda was beaming, her lovely cheeks just the right color of red, her bi-cut as perfect as always. She just made (y/n) feel fuzzy inside, only by looking at her.

She just wanted to pin her down to the wall and attack her neck sometimes with butterfly kisses down to her beautiful perky breasts.

Oh.

Now she was being greedy. Or, was it the leftover horny energy from the encounter earlier?

“Hey Zelda” (Y/N) smiled after hearing her beaming voice, without realizing. She was in conflicting feelings the whole day. First she kissed Link, who might have feelings for her, now she is lusting over Zelda. What is wrong with her?

“Girl, are you OK? Your clothes look a bit roughened up, did you roll on the grass with Link or something?” Zelda giggled.

(Y/n) started thinking about what happened, which made her kind of blush, but replied flatly instead.

“I fell down while coming down the path. Luckily Mr. Hero caught me. I’m OK.”

Purah gave her a look. “Yeah yeah Ms. Mystery, we see what happened. At least wipe the smile off of your face.” and chuckled.

“Huh?” both her and Zelda looked at Purah. She just waved her hand off. She could swear she caught Zelda’s face darken a little bit. Well, fuck.

Work went on as usual.

“Alllright girlies, I’ll be heading out a bit earlier. Gotta to and test this new auto ID feature myself after the updates, see you after the weekend!”

“Bye Purah!” said the girls in unison.

“Sooooo (y/n), will you tell me what happened now? I saw Link, but he just bolted out without even saying hi, both your clothes are in a bit of a rough condition, you are acting awkward.”

Well, isn’t she observant. How convenient.

“For real, I fell down and he caught me.”

Zelda looked into her eyes. What was wrong with the local Hylians today, all these intense stares. (Y/n) just avoided her gaze. Oh Farore, she was cute.

“(y/n)?”

“Yes?”

“You know you can tell me anything, right?”

“I… I know.”

“So what about a girl’s evening!”

“But don’t we already have one happening tonight? With Link?”

“Well, yes and no. Purah already left early, so we can go ahead and start early, Link will be out a while still as you know. So,”

Oh well, she thought. What’s the worst that can happen?

“Okay then” (y/n) beamed, “Let’s do that.”

She loved how Zelda understood her, and did not press on.

This evening… would be an interesting one.

They made it to the cottage. (Y/n) immediately went for the cabinet, and popped one of the bottles open.

“Whoa (y/n), isn’t it a bit early for that?”

“I need this if I am to be able to tell you stuff.”

“So something DID happen.”

“Yes, but also no.”

“Okay… I’ll join you. Let me grab a glass and I’ll come upstairs.”

(y/n) sat down to the couch upstairs, it was directly looking outside, with a view to Mount Lanayru. The mountain they were hiking up to this morning with Link. And Zelda, possibly his fated love, was coming upstairs.

She took a big gulp from the wine, and then another one. Then she poured herself another glass. Now it was time to stall until the alcohol hit her.

Zelda arrived and made herself comfortable next to her.

“So! How are you?”

“Just fine, I thought my cloak was almost ruined, but it seems to be doing fine. The fabric is really crazy over here, give it a bit of time and poof, all the weird stuff on it is gone!”

“(y/n).”

“And you know what, I thought I scraped my knee as well but I guess I didn’t.”

“(Y/N).”

“Hi Zelda.”

“Seriously, you’ve been acting weird since this morning, and obviously something happened. Did you have an argument with Link?”

“Zelda, I really, really want to tell you what happened but I am so conflicted. And I’m afraid if I do, you might not want to talk with me anymore.”

“Oh come on, what can it be?”

“Look, I kissed Link.”

“You, you what?”

“Yes.”

Zelda was ice cold for a second, and then she started laughing.

“Not surprised!"

“What?”

“(y/n), it was so obvious you had a thing for him! I’m happy for you!” she was being way too overly enthusiastic about this.

“But Zelda…”

“It’s great! Two of my best friends, getting together, what can I ask for? Please don’t leave me behind though!”

The tears were building up in Zelda’s eyes too. Sad ones.

“Zelda. Zelda, come here.”

(y/n) gave Zelda a big hug, she started crying on (y/n)s shoulder. Ah, she was never the one to hold her liqueur...

“Look, I don’t want to come between you and Link, okay? You both are my friends, and we can just say it was a moment.”

“What do you mean (y/n)?”

“Zelda, I know for a… fact that you guys are meant to be together. It was very selfish of me to do what I have done. Please forgive me.”

“How can you know this?” Zelda’s voice was rising. But again, all the alcohol was already getting to Tori.

“Exactly how I know other things. Like having an “educated guess” on when exactly the legendary great flood happened. How I have a “theory” about the so called Hero of Time, him being related to the Hero of Twilight. Maybe I just don’t “get lucky” about these things. Some of the things are theories yes, but some, I do know, for a fact. But this one… This one is different. Not certain, yet important.”

Zelda was shaking, she looked confused. She was confused. She knew (y/n) had feelings for Link, yet she had feelings for both of them. At first, she thought she should be with Link, after all he is the hero of the Hyrule. Her knight. But wouldn’t that be abusing her power over him? He already sacrificed 100 years of his life. Lost his memories. Yet her heart also ached for (y/n). How perverse is she, thought Zelda to herself. They didn’t even know where exactly she came from, she never felt like (y/n) lied to them, yet there was definitely some information being left out from her end.

She still trusted her. How? Why?

“You know what Zelda? I already dug myself a grave so just let me say it all, so it’s out of the way.”

She gently pushed Zelda away so they now faced each other.

“I like you. In fact, I have a crush on you.”

Zelda tried to protest, but she put a finger on her lips and looked into her eyes.

“Just listen, okay?”

Zelda nodded, with teary eyes. She also looked a bit surprised.

“Yes, I know I kissed Link. That’s because I have a crush on him too. Yes, I am selfish and I am greedy. I like both of you! But I shouldn’t! I also know you like Link. Yes, don’t look so surprised now. Maybe I am a bit biased due to my background which I have yet to explain, but I KNOW.”

Zelda was speechless.

“Don’t you dare deny it either, I see how you lighten up when he’s around.”

Now Zelda was blushing. Then, she just couldn’t stop laughing. Alcohol was REALLY getting to her. She put her head on (y/n)’s lap.

“(y/n) stop. You do realize, I have a crush on you too, right?” she kept laughing between the words.

“Now you are just messing with me. I am dead serious.”

She stopped.

“So am I.”

“Yeah?” (y/n)’s heart was beating as if it is going to spring out from her chest. Is this real, she thought to herself. What a mess. Should she take advantage of this too? But… Not like they are little puppets. And, and she told the truth.

“Let me show you.”

Zelda straightened up once again. She put the stray hair on (y/n)’s face back behind her ear. (Y/n) was staring on her lips. She unconsciously licked her own.

Zelda closed the distance between them, and gave her a long, drawn out kiss.

It was then they heard the sound from the staircase. The kiss was broken, with Zelda’s one hand still cupping (y/n)'s head.

“Zelda, (y/n)? What’s going on here?”

It was Link.

Evermore / wattpad - Chapter 24: Halloween

(SPOILER SNIPPET - sebastian sallow x you)

*MC finally breaks down and confesses why she’s avoiding Sebastian—she only wanted to save him*

MC: You need to stay away from me because I'm damaged as hell. There were so many nights I wanted to call for you. So many nights...and every time I don't, I almost do. It killed me every time, and it hurt. *More tears fell but Sebastian kept wiping them away* It killed me so much, but I didn't want to give you more damage and ruin.

Sebastian: *listening intently with a soft, protective gaze, palms on her cheeks to comfort*

MC: I should’ve listened to you… *she whispered, looking at Sebastian with full regret in her eyes*

Sebastian: *whispers reassuringly* It is not your fault.

MC: I wished you were in there with me. In that tent, earlier. I needed you. I need you and I always will *she wailed, burying her face in his chest, hands tucked to her front*

gif is literally how I imagined this scene 🥲

I've decided to make an intro post about this account to hopefully keep things organized!

I almost exclusively post fanfiction, but I occasionally post fanart and tagging games also.

-------------------------------------------------------

Dragon Ball - Gochi, Radchi, Gobul, Vegebul, Launchitz, Brolai, Badagine, Raditz x Reader, Broly x Reader, Turles x Reader

while link does the fighting, zelda is occupied searching for clues on where to find you

she's willing to put herself in danger, if it means finding you and bringing you back home safely! 

and when she finally finds you, zelda pulls you into the longest hug you two ever had, before fleeing together, with link protecting the two of you

once you're back home at the castle, zelda will coddle and spoil you, to make up for that time you were separated…

Random musing that I hope the Din's Temple arc is going to make pretty clear: Zelda can't be in the main party for Mark of a Hero for too long for the same reasons Gandalf can't be in the main party for too long. She is a divine wizard, and literally breaks the power scaling of any combat scene I want to write with her. She would one-shot 90% of the Mini Bosses & Bosses I've written so far. I know I said she's a level 3 wizard in the character sheets, but I mean like. Narratively. Mechanically, she's level 20 already, hands down.

There are more actual narrative reasons, chiefly in that as a major political figure (she's the heir to a nation) if Zelda jumped into the plot and started running around doing things, she runs into the issue of overriding local (and eventually foreign) governments. So the actions she has to take within narrative are more on political leveraging and intelligence gathering to allow the person who's "supposed" to be doing this stuff (our Hero) can do those things. The barriers she has are not ability, it's political liability. She could easily break the law and get things done, but what kind of future leader does that set her up to be? Link, as the Hero, does not have that restraint in movement, it's expected he'll show up. And also, Zelda is making sure he'll be welcomed if he does (in the Hero persona at least).

It also comes into some of the character contrast I want to have between Link and Zelda in MoaH as equal agents on the narrative, not one rescuing the other exclusively. If Zelda is also diving into these dungeons, it becomes harder to separate why Link specifically has the Triforce of Courage. Which is not to say Zelda isn't courageous, but she can't be equally courageous to Link. The two are meant to play off each other that way. Your lawful good, high tactics minded political official and your chaotic good, improvisational monster hunter. Long game vs short game, high profile vs low profile, Wisdom vs Courage.

Link is notably bad at politics and long term strategy, the Hero act is a rough attempt to convince the court of his title as Hero (since they have no in universe confirmation he is for sure the Hero) and not everyone is convinced. He is very good at solving short-term problems though, adaptation to things gone wrong, and immediate problem solving (like dungeon puzzles), which notably in MoaH, Zelda's not good at her plans getting thrown off. Eventually, they balance each other out that way. Link needs help thinking ahead, Zelda needs help adjusting quickly. They're a team, and their strengths are different. Compliments to each other. The threats that they're good at handling then are also different. Zelda could probably one shot most of the monsters outright, but it's Link's combat experience of learning and developing plans around monsters' weaknesses in the heat of battle that would get her the shot she needed. Which says nothing of his own ability to also fight those monsters.

Zelda is still an active agent in the story, we just don't see her front and center in the plot all the time. She's still doing plot, but the Link POV means the reader won't see that the whole way through. And not to get in my own head about my planning or whatever, but I wanted to ramble a little about the thought process behind the black cat autistic GF x golden retriever ADHD BF pairing that I have going for this Zelink story.

So much of the current formula, of Link being Zelda's knight/Hero/protector (and even with the reversal in EOW) has them chasing after each other rather than working together. And I think that reduces so much of Link's personality down to just "rescuing Zelda." Not to mention what it does to Zelda's personality. Rather than showing how they're equally competent, how they have personalities and lives outside of each other and also are strengthened and supported because of how they work well together. You know. Like a couple. God, just, let's circle back on this after Letter of the Law is out and I'll show you what I mean.
