Ziv's GanLink Fic Rec List

I miss the days of actual reclists passed around communities, so I'm making one of my own. All of these are fics I've read, liked, and think you may also like if you like Ganondorf/Link. This is not exhaustive, of course. Please feel free to reblog and add your favourites!

Long Fic (80,000+)

no matter what by wouldyouknowmore Rated: E Words: 81,825

The return of the Calamity has been foretold. And while the peoples of Hyrule are united in their preparations to oppose it, there are some who believe the current king of the Gerudo would best be kept under watchful eyes, if for no other reason than his name. Fearing for his people’s wellbeing if he doesn’t comply, and all too familiar with the legends of his ancient predecessors, Ganon willingly places himself in Hylian protective custody until the threat of the Calamity has passed. He’s resigned to a lonely, unpleasant stay at Hyrule Castle, until he meets the Hylian royal guard assigned to protect him. Sir Link surpasses his every expectation from day one, fiercely loyal and courageous to a fault, uncaring of the suspicions that surround Ganon—not to mention incredibly charming. But as they grow closer, Ganon can’t help but wonder if their fates will tear them apart again before this is all over.

Ziv's Thoughts: This is a fun fic with some really excellent and delightful characterizations of both Ganon and Link. It's dealing with an interesting "What if" premise of the world pre-calamity in BotW, and delivers it well. The weight of what might happen to him is heavy on Ganondorf, but the relationship he builds with Link is just so, so sweet. *Update: The sequel is currently being uploaded:

What Remains by wouldyouknowmore Rated: E Words: WIP

A hundred-year sleep and a complete loss of memory aren’t enough to keep Link from finishing the job he’d left undone. The Calamity is sealed. The worst is over. They’ve even managed to come out of this ordeal without grievous injury, Link and the princess both—even Ganondorf, whose survival should have been impossible. They’re here now, though, and safe. But as Link very quickly comes to understand, safe doesn’t necessarily mean whole. His head’s a jumbled up mess these days, but he’s determined to push through it all the same, to figure out this whole After situation. It’s just, getting swept up in Ganon’s very intense presence isn’t really conducive to him thinking straight…

Sands of Time by tirsynni Rated: T Words: 103,445

Link awakens in the desert with no idea how he got there, to encounter his worst enemy…except it was the King of the Gerudo, not the King of Evil, he faced.

Ziv’s Thoughts: An excellent read. Link wakes up in the desert many years after the events of Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of time, only, he’s in a different time yet again. The story has a very fairy tale-esque feeling to it, which is quite fun to read. There are a lot of references to different Zelda games, and different Links, and it’s pretty cool how they are implemented. Ganondorf here is pretty compelling as a King trying for the best for his people in what feels like an increasingly impossible situation. Link is also just a wonderful little gremlin who only talks when he decides it is needed, and has fun with keeping quiet otherwise a number of times.

——————

Medium Fic (20,000 - 80,000)

Little Souls in Blistered Light by hedgerowhag Rated: E Words: 58,970

The battle between the Calamity and the Princess's knight never took place. The Master Sword remains with Link, waiting to complete their shared duty. Five years pass and Link meets a stranger who is also searching for the Calamity to finally bring this story to an end.

Ziv's Thoughts: This story is just so, so good. I loved the journey they went on together, how Ganon is trying so hard to keep Link at a distance in the beginning, and how that changed entirely in the end. The character and world building in this is just delicious. I love Link here so, so much. And, of course, Ganon as such a sad guilty man. He tries so hard. There's some really beautiful messaging throughout and I loved the way Hedge wove it through so consistently. What is not to love from the GanLink salesman himself? amid sand and stone we stood by Eremji (handsfullofdust) Rated: E Words: 30,086

Ten thousand years ago Hylia and the Warrior of Light raised an army to defeat Ganon. Link means to finish the job once and for all. The beast dies on the grassy plains, leaking ichor into the dirt. It stinks powerfully of death, as though the very end of all things has been distilled down into one being that’s been left to rot in this fallow field.

Ziv's Thoughts: This reads like a fairy tale. It reminds me of how I felt when I read Deathless by Cat Valente for the first time. Kind of like being transported to this other place sideways of here and misty and full of possibility. It’s just a wonderful journey, and the conclusion feels right and kind of ethereal. It fits very well with the general setting of the games, but almost gentler and yet the pain is more visceral at the same time. I love the strength of love in this, it’s just so much, so beautiful.

one hundred years past 🔒 by tciddaemina Rated: E Words: 38,545

He wakes a blank slate, a living body in an empty tomb. Water laps at his skin, glowing ever so faintly, pooled around him on the dais, and as he opens his eyes it slowly begins to drain away, the blue glow fading from the room second by second until it is dim and dark. (Something is wrong.) Link wakes up a century early. It changes everything.

Ziv's Thoughts: I really enjoy this fic, and yes you do need an Ao3 account to read it. It's a fun adventure into what might happen if Link were to awaken in the desert somehow, barely any memory but he recognizes Ganondorf and eventually gets more and more memories back. It deals with a growing corruption, the building toward Ganon falling into evil. Good read. A note, if you're like me and dislike this trope, it is mentioned that Ganon has increased stamina as the Gerudo men were upon a time supposed to father a new generation. But it's a passing mention and not an actual thing in this story.

——————

signs of radiance 🔒 by tciddaemina Rated: E Words: 24,883

There is a feeling of profound calm, as Ganondorf steps into the temple. He should be feeling something like terror, maybe even something like anticipation, a mixed dread and desperate hope that would threaten to make his breath catch, make his hands curl tight at his sides. There's none of it. He takes one deep breath, and then another, slow, even, taking a slow step forward. He's past being hopeful, he's past being desperate, and the doom he's trying to avert is too ruinous a thing to make him fear any price he might have to pay. Weeks, months now, he's been searching for the entrance to this temple, scouring scrolls of rotting papyrus for even the hint of its existence, for the faintest chance it might even be real.

It is real, and he's found it.

Ganondorf makes a deal with a creature that might be a god, and then he does it again, and then again.

Ziv’s thoughts: In this story, Ganon knows that there is a curse upon his kingdom, and he can feel coming seemingly for him and he goes to seek out help. Link is Link, but also a creature, a godling, something more. The story actually doesn’t have much Link in it in terms of the action, this is a Ganondorf-centric story and it’s a good read. Again, tciddaemina’s fics are locked to users so just log in.

Short Fic: (up to 20,000)

a kiss for luck by wouldyouknowmore Rated: M Words: 9,279

Vah Naboris is all that stands between Link and his final showdown with the Calamity, and at long last, he’s found a way into Gerudo Town. It just involves posing as his own great-something-granddaughter, the plucky little heroine intent on finishing what her ancestor, the fallen Hylian Champion, had started. And lucky for him, King Ganondorf believes it. Now he just has to survive his last Divine Beast, and he’s set. … Well. He supposes also has to survive the charming, attractive Gerudo king’s (very welcome) attentions without blowing his own cover, but surely he can manage that, too, right? (So, yeah. He’s fucked.)

Ziv’s Thoughts: Link’s voice in this is just a delight to read, he’s such a disaster but he’s trying his best — Ganon just has no qualms with making him flustered and playing up on an understandable misunderstanding. This one works with the idea of what if Breath of the Wild, but there’s a Ganondorf who is also King of the Gerudo while the calamity is raging? Though, it is much more about the character study/misunderstanding between him and Link.

——————

The Crown Jewel by Nicxan Rated: G Words: 5,028

A Gerudo that makes jewelry for a living is shocked when a Hylian man moves into a Gerudo Village.

Ziv's Thoughts: This is a really cute fic. It is not set in any particular timeline/game. Just an adorable story of a Link who finds his way to Gerudo town and Ganondorf falls for him, but through the eyes of a jewellery merchant in the city. It's a nice perspective.

——————

Let Me Hold You, Like a Hostage by hedgerowhag Rated: E Words: 12,071

It almost seems obligatory that the Princess must be kidnapped. It would be a shame if her decoy was captured instead.

Ziv's Thoughts: If you're looking for a fun, shorter, raunchy fic this one has you covered. It's another pre-calamity fic, and this time Link is taken hostage by the Gerudo under the mistaken impression he is the princess. They hold him to get information and, in the process, he ends up sleeping with Ganon a number of times and is an entire gremlin about it.

Not irl, just Cyberpunk Red drama again 😅

I just want to say that as myself, I feel so bad for my friend's Rockerboy character cos he's been through so much ;_;

And I feel super bad for backstabbing him as my Netrunner in the beginning of this campaign ;_;

BUT I need to be in character when RPing

My Netrunner abandoned her real name long ago. She goes by her net handle or by the name given to her by her sponsor (actually her bio dad...)

Only her elder brother calls her by her real name when he's exceptionally disappointed with her or when he's concerned about her

As myself, I get that Rockerboy is desperately trying to reconnect with my Netrunner. But as my Netrunner, him calling me by my real name is like an insult to my dead brother

I'm suffering from mild psychosis now. I'm not being rational. To me, it's like Rockerboy thinks he can replace my brother. Who does he think he is? How dare he use my real name >:U

I was vulnerable because I saw him as my first real friend. That's why I trusted him with my name. But he trampled all over my trust >:/

The worst part is he tinted her memory by betraying her trust. They exchanged real names when he shared with her a BD of them sitting under a starry sky far away from Night City

When my Netrunner saw the stars, she dared to dream of being free... which got her into the current mess she's in... but at least for once in her life she found the courage to go against Arasaka/dad. That BD was a precious memory for her

But my friend/Rockerboy just ruined everything by doing the one thing my Netrunner told him never to do 😠. Now she can't think of that day without feeling betrayed 😠

#leave Night City with me my butt #why would my Netrunner want to leave with such a dumb insensitive gonk #I already made peace with the fact that I'm dying sad and alone in this hellhole anyway #my brother is gone. I wanted to go with him but nooooo #Rockerboy had to butt in with his big butt to save me #Let me go! I wanted to go! it's less painful this way >:U #personal #cyberpunk red related

those headcanons KILLED ME!!!! pleaseeee i need the happy ones 😭

oh anon, i have way more where that came from lol. but you asked for happy and i have happy in the spirit of trying to make us all a little more happy on this sad day. the best tw I can give here is faint sexual undertones (very faint, it's like oh kissing) and mention of babies and the normal stuff to go with my pa! reader also a brief mention of a tattoo. trust me when i tell you though i could have gone on forever with this. i have a Lot of headcanons. some fluff, some angst and some NSFW.

So in the future when you've both gotten your act together and you're married and it's common knowledge despite y’all wanting to be private about to the point where your rings eventually just become each other initials on each other’s ring fingers. You have two kids. A third maybe on the way, maybe planned.

You had told Austin once upon a time that he was gonna be the daddy to give you everything. A house, the TV shows, the movies, the awards to give you an EGOT and the four kids and they’ll look so pretty daddy.

But you’ve got children, you’re married, you’re happy and EW or some magazine wants you to recreate the family photos Elvis and Priscilla once took with Lisa.

Austin immediately says no, you two had enough problems with photoshoots while on the press tour for Elvis and after the amount of therapy you two have gone through to make sure your relationship and your marriage is as solid as can be- he refuses to put either one of you in a state where you can backslide. Not to mention it would put your kids on display which y'all had specifically tried to avoid.

You convince him that it’s a fine idea and that if his Lil Dove says its okay, it’s okay.

The pre-sales of the magazine sell out before the day is out when they’re released.

But you know that's way in the future. Before then you two get to know each other during your quarantines. He finds you hate cooking breakfast while dinner and lunch are your specialties. He agrees that you know what, he'll make breakfast when you two don't decide that being lazy and eating a bowl of cereal in bed is a better option and take away that most horrible of meals from you.

You both memorize each other's coffee orders surprisingly quickly. During the filming of Elvis you make fun of how Austin says oatmilk. Eventually he starts saying it the way he used to. In the future he says it when you're stressed out just to make you laugh.

You buy each other jewelry all the time. His is because he's your dom, your daddy and he's got to spoil his little dove (and even if he wasn't he wants to give his partner the world). You do it because you like seeing him in the rings and the random tiny necklaces. "Daddy have you seen your neck? It's a crime not to put something on it."

The two of you adopt two dogs and a cat at some point.

The cat is named Elvis and likes literally no one but you and your kids. Hates Austin which leads to him attempting to bribe him with fish and chicken.

The cat tries to eat Austin's hair multiple times while y'all sleep.

The cat hates Austin because he can sense that he is an absolute puppy of a man and is thus useless to him. Best to be besties with who really calls the shots, i.e. you.

So this scene? That's you and Austin. Most if not all scenes had an element of the two of you but they also had the two of you as Elvis and Priscilla. But this scene is after Austin had been playing a bit too much with slapping your ass and Baz gave you the simple direction of be in love. Knowing fully well at this point that everyone on set knows you two are in love.

"Be in love. Easiest direction he's given, right Lil Dove?" You have to stop yourself from calling him daddy. "Aus, you're gonna ruin the make up." Not a hint of Priscilla's voice, it's all you trying not to giggle and ruin the take. "Too late, I see a smudge. Better make it worth it." And now you're giggling as you feel his lips nipping at your ear and him just chuckling. "My best girl. My only girl. Gonna make you my wife one of these days. My mama sent you to me. You’re so perfect." It's before everything goes wrong in your mind so all you can think and say when Baz calls cut after the light is off is simply: "You're forever."

"Time to go downstairs and be made fun of for my lack of structural integrity"

Don't mind me. Just wishing I could have a chat with them.

I haven't seen you, but here's what I do know: no one should comment on that. Maybe you're not the "ideal" or whatever, but if your feet touch the ground and you have skin on your body, then no one should be commenting on how you're structured. Honestly, unless the words coming past their lips aren't to check on your health or lift you up, they shouldn't pass their lips. Period. Mama always said, "If you don't have somethin' nice to say, don't say anything at all." If they can't follow a rule taught successfully to toddlers, then they aren't worth listening to.

You deserve better than that. Please know that their words reflect their own rancid state and have nothing of substance to do with you.

Jsjejjejkdjdjndhfhdhf

That honestly made me feel so much better. Thank you so much.

#I'm the only person in my family who's not 95-100% able bodied #so we often butt heads over small things I do occasionally to regulate pain.#That and other non-family members making stupid comments about my invisible disabilities #it's hard to allow myself to do the things I need to do in order to feel better #when it's easier to smile through it and pretend it doesn't hurt #and being told by others that they or others have it worse makes it hard too #so thank you #i needed this #asks #lucky!!<3 #🩷🩷🩷🫂❤️❤️❤️🫂

Have some song recs! I suspect we have a lot of crossover in terms of music taste so I tried to include some out-there choices as well (I promise I won't be upset if they're not your thing 😉🥰):

A Hero's Death - Fontaines D.C.

The Girl is Crying in her Latte - Sparks

Forloveren - Kaizers Orchestra

Маяк - The Hardkiss

Cha Cha Cha - Käärijä (couldn't resist 😅💚)

Hope you're having a lovely week too 💖

hellooo 💓 thank you so much for these 🥰 i do always love getting to listen to music i’d probably never come across on my own, so thank you for including the out there choices as well as the ones that you could probably pretty safely bet are to my usual taste!

a hero’s death - fontaines dc

i think you must have read my mind on this one because i've just recently started listening to fontaines dc after YEARS of everyone telling me i'd love them, and yeah. they're pretty damn cool from what i've heard so far, and this song has only pulled me in more!

the girl is crying in her latte - sparks

i can appreciate that this is a really cool song (and it actually got stuck in my head on a loop after hearing it lol), but it's just a bit too electronic for my taste

forloveren - kaizers orchestra

oooooh this is so atmospheric and full of layers and unexpected surprises, i really liked it and i've never heard anything quite like it!

mаяк - the hardkiss

this is not my usual taste, but i actually really liked the overall feeling and vibe of it - it's really powerful

cha cha cha - käärijä

aghhhhh i'm sorry i know how much you love him (and i can totally see why, whenever your posts about him pop up on my dash i think he looks SO cool, and also i've heard only the loveliest things about him), but this is just not really my vibe, it's too electronic for me 😅 that being said, i was listening to these in the living room and my sister (and flatmate lol) was there and the moment this song started playing she looked up from her phone and said "oh my god, turn it up" and that's how i found out she's a käärijä fan 😂

thank you so much for these, this was really fun! hope you're having a good week so far, sending you all the good vibes ✨💗

#sorry it took me a while to answer this #chronic pain has been kicking my butt over the last week so i'm just generally behind on asks/messages/literally everything in my life rn 😅#asks
