Summary
“Have you threatened every person in this castle?” She hissed. “Because I haven’t heard a word of my incompetence in three and a half weeks, and only after tricking some poor unfortunate footman into speaking halfway ill of me does he break down nearly into tears and beg me to please not tell you what he’s said.”
A faint pink blushed onto the tips of his ears. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t have to. It was an unwilling admission of guilt.
“Would you prefer they gossip about you, Your Highness?” His eyes lifted back to hers only when he finished speaking, and for a single moment, she was frozen under his stare. He had asked in sincerity, without any disingenuousness.
The audacity, to ask such a question. “No,” she said, her voice falling flat. Insulting, that a man who so rarely used his voice could so easily put her in her place with it. He hadn’t even really meant to.
For just a moment, she stared at him, waiting for him to lord his victory over her as he had so well earned. But instead he just kept staring earnestly at her, as if it were her turn to disclose, as if she was the one holding out on him.
Finally, blessedly, he spoke again. “What would you have me do instead?”

Summary
Everyone knows that Hyrule had been destroyed 100 years prior by Calamity Ganon corrupting the very weapons intended to defeat him, but as Zelda watches Link's final battle against the great evil, she is certain that this time they will not fail. The spirit of the champions is with them, Link has the Master Sword in hand, and surely this time Ganon will be eliminated once and for all.
However, what is a Hero of Hyrule but another weapon intended to defeat Ganon? And if a dragon of the gods can become corrupted, what hope does a mere mortal, even one with as great a destiny as the hero, have to resist him?
Thus Zelda finds herself fighting for her life to save her Kingdom, destroy Ganon, and rescue the man she loves before he is lost forever to the darkness.

Summary
No one in the newly established court ever asked Link and Zelda about the character of their relationship, so they didn't tell anyone that they were married. When Zelda is finally expecting a child, the council meetings become more fun for the two of them from month to month.
"They tried to be subtle, because however unconventional the Queen seemed to be, asking an unmarried woman about an unannounced pregnancy was never a good idea. When showing concern about her health didn’t work, they decided to propose forbidden activities. Perhaps she would admit, that she couldn’t drink wine because of the baby or something like that?"

Summary
In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.
Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.
