A Tale of Wilderness and Brothers
by Ur_Local_Ace_Fic_Muncher97
Wild meets the chain but he's more wild than in Linked Universe. He eats raw meat, he wears shiny things and bones for fun, and the Chain is going to have a lot of fun finding this out gradually. OR I decided to finally give in and put all of my headcannons into a fic.
Of Conversations
by SmileLikeTheCheshireCat
Purah decided that, for ease of communication, everyone who gets a Purah Pad should also get instant messaging. This will become known as the worst idea she's ever had. OR Some of these chats are actually important to the plot, but they're too long to put in the main fic, so they get their own side-
Worth the Wait
by ItzNirva
Due to their respective duties as Champion and Prince, Link and Sidon have been kept apart for longer than they care for--even if it's just for a few weeks. But they both manage to find ways to deal with the distance, and they'll be back in each other's arms (and beds) before they know it! (updates

Only this I know
by blueclouds109

A Kind Of Grace
by chaoticbrainrot_24
A time where Link and Mipha had enough time to get married before destruction struck. And love flourished between them and memories were brought back. And where Links begins to learn how to live by himself. Or I wanted to write a fic where Link and Mipha finally ended together but were torn apart by
Breath of the Water
by SallowFrogs
After reuniting with Link, Sidon can finally tell him how he feels. Hopefully, Link feels the same. But what Sidon doesn't know, is that Link is keeping pretty big secret.
SageSwap AU Part -1: Memories
by VoidXReaper78
My Botw/Totk au where each sage swaps places with their respective champion. This will mostly stick to canon but there are some spots with major differences.
The Alliance of the Zora and Hylian Royals
by IllBestYourFriend
Zelda, Link, Yona, and Sidon are in a relationship. This fic will contain all four in a romantic situation, one each of the one-on-one pairs (ex: one chapter of zelink), and three (ex: one chapter of zelinkyona). These each are part of the overarching plot, but each can be read as a oneshot.Enjoy :]
A Zora and a Hylian
by when_froggies_drink_milk
Link and Sidon were friends, dear friends. Sidon knew this, just as he knew his duties as a royal and a protector of his Domain. Even after the Calamity, rebuilding and establishing new connections was just as perilous. As the Zora work to create ties with the Gerudo, King Dorephan pushes Sidon to f

by Honeyglow
Ganondorf Dragmire has been keeping his existence secret, knowing one day he would need to be ready to present himself to the council which consists of the leaders of each race.
