Summary
After a deep evil threatens Hyrule, the Royal Family becomes desperate in its impotency and looks for aid wherever it can be found.
They are saved by the Mage Vaati, who appeared out of nowhere, unbeknownst to Hyrule one of their old enemies whose seal has been broken and whose name lost over the ages.
In return for help and vastly popular amongst many Hylians, Vaati seizes Hyrule for himself and rules it as a god-king, bringing war to the other races with the Hylian people under his yoke. However, gifted with prophecy, he foresees his own demise at the hands of a Hylian child born close to his victory. Furious and terrified, he uses his power to form a tyranny and slay every appropriately aged and newly born baby in the land.
A few escape. The Crown Princess, daughter of the now petrified King, smuggled to safety by her preordained Sheikah guard. A sea-merchant's baby twins, secure on a boat to the South. The Hylian ambassador to the Rito's son. A scattering of others perhaps.
And a mystery child, blue eyed, blond of hair, who is saved from his mother's corpse by Hyrule's fiercest rivals and the People of the Royal Family's oldest enemy. The Gerudo

Summary
Disaster has been averted and Aeris and Ganondorf return to the desert with newly signed trade agreements that will secure trade with Hyrule and the future of the Gerudo.
But, there is still so much left to do and so many lessons to learn.
Tensions rise as Aeris and Ganondorf learn that there is more to ruling a nation than leading its people and more is expected of them than they realize.
Details about Aeris’ past come to light and everything she thinks she knows is turned on its head and the return of a familiar face complicates things more than anyone was prepared for.
Aeris takes these hurdles in stride, but there’s only so much a person can take before they break.

Summary
There was an oath in the past. An oath, a promise, your duty. But you went ahead and abandoned it all.
That was a bad idea. For generations it's seemed like the Goddesses have cursed you, because you can find no rest in sleep, no satisfaction in food, not even the closure of death.
But now a new Hero is born. You may have but one chance to fix what you failed to preserve before and be finally free of that load.
We can't escape fate because we are the ones who craft it. You're finally willing to stop running from it, for better or for worse. And, whether you want it or not, the Hero of Twilight is going to be there, by your side, until the end. -

Summary
“So these are actually parts of the Princess’s soul?” She held hers up to the light, admiring its glimmer.
"Yours, mine, and six others, it seems.” Link let this own piece slide from one palm to the other. “They're the key...to something the Princess wanted us to see. Something we're missing." The young Gerudo looked away, doubtful, but Link smiled softly. "I'm sure of it"
___________________
A bookish adventurer, a royal brat, and powerful young woman each find their way into Forbidden Valley, lured by stories of what happened there, long before Hyrule's centuries of calm prosperity.
Their ambitions place them squarely at odds, but when a new possibility emerges, a last chance to free their lands and themselves from a brutal cycle of violence, the lines that divide them start to blur. But the question remains: can the three of them, so far separated from the powers and wisdom of old, really succeed where countless others had failed?
*A dramatic re-imagining of the very two Legend of Zelda games circa 1986/87; a tale of friendship, fate, and finality.*

Summary
With that revelation, Link thought back to her trip to the grocery store. There wasn't much information that could clue her in to her death, just that it was still so late, it could be considered early morning by some people. She and her roommate (what was her name...?) goofed off in a few isles, giggling uncontrollably from the lack of sleep, throwing what they had come for in the buggy, and then- nothing. She couldn't remember checking out. She couldn't remember leaving the store if even she did.
(What was her name before?)
Link was disturbed by the lack of memories, whole chunks of her previous life just... cut out. Who was she anymore?
And then, as her new mom wrapped her up and secured her against her chest, Link decided it didn't really matter anymore. Not now anyway.

Summary
War is on the horizon as tension rises between factions. The Gerudo, long ago banished to the desert in the south. The Rito, long ago established themselves in the crags of the west. The Gorons, long ago took to the heat of the north. The Zora, long ago found succor in the waters of the east.
And in the center of it all was the Hylians, and their throne of generations.
War is coming and a young vai and a young girl are caught in the middle.
Link was raised among the scourges of the desert.
Zelda among the nobles of Hylia.
They say that you forge a closer bond with people in the fires of adversity. Maybe that's true, or maybe there's some other, stronger power building a bond out of the ashes of war.
But while the adults engage in their squabbles and lives are on the line, there may be something much worse on the horizon.
