Summary
His voice was softer than candlelight. “Princess, what is her name? Is she a Zelda?”
“...No, she is whoever she wishes to be.”Little know that before the Calamity the Princess and Hero were madly in love. Little know that Princess Zelda bore a child that the King swore would be forgotten. Little know that despite chains of torturous silence, Link fought for his family until his last breath.
A century later, two ancient souls curl under malice free skies. When cerulean eyes study Zelda blankly, she knows Link doesn’t remember. It’s to be their final trial. Together, Hero and Princess must search for answers... What happened to their child that time forgot?
A story of scandal, grief, fated love, laughter, and the sweetest joy.

Summary
Zelda Nohansen lived a normal life in Hyrule: her father is the wealthy Governor of the flourishing Windfall Island, she’s engaged to a respectable sailor, and she’s ready to travel across the sea to her new home beside them. But when pirates intercept her ship on the crossing, she finds herself in a new predicament she'd never planned: questioning everything she has been taught about strict Hylian rules, facing the harsh reality that not all pirates are simply the heartless creatures she’d been told stories about her whole life, and realizing Hylians are not as pure of spirit as she'd been led to believe.

Summary
Zelda is a popular high school senior whose hobbies include theater, the school senate, and fighting with the Vice Principal (who seems to have a personal vendetta against her). Link is her aloof classmate with a motorcycle, two friends, and a bad reputation that steers most people far away from him before he can even say 'hi.' After years of never talking to each other, a brief project in their ASL class has them noticing the other more and more, and they realize that there's more to the other person than meets the eye. And they're about to figure out that life isn't meant to be lived alone.
