"Time passes, people move... Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth." -- Sheik, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Name's Hylian Shadow. I'm 28 and a videogame fan, especially of the Legend of Zelda series. I also love to write. I'm sure you can see where this is going. I'm not really sure what else to say here.

I know some of these haven't been updated in months, but I haven't dropped any of my stories. They will all get finished, eventually, and all of them are in varying levels of completion right now. So, yes, I'm still working on everything listed as "in progress"; I just don't always have the time to write. I just ask for your patience until the chapters get finished and posted.

Story Continuities:

Since several people have asked, here are the groups of stories that share the same universe.

My 'main' timeline (aka all of the Link/Dark stories):

Reflections of the Heart
Hero's Dawn
Trance Awake
Future Hyrule: Courage Never Dies

FtB series:

Fade to Black
sequel in progress

Hero and Masks (aka my post Majora's Mask stories):

Masquerade
Compass
Shattered
Den of Thieves

Individual stories (aka not in a series):

The Face Behind the Mask
Herosword

Stories in Progress:

The Face Behind the Mask: A silly rumor about a strange TV channel shows Link a power he never realized he had. Everyone has a face he shows the world, as well as a face he hides from everyone else. For Link, those two faces are one and the same. He never realized that a smile could be armor before...
Story Notes:
--Alternate Universe set in a world inspired by the Persona series
--Rated T for language, violence, and some adult themes
--Newest chapter -- Unmasked: Someone appears where he shouldn't; Link makes a confession; a potential ally asks for help.

Future Hyrule: Courage Never Dies: Hyrule has prospered over the centuries, and over that time the stories of the ancient hero who protected the land have faded into legend. For historian Link Masters, studying the legends is about to send him on a strange and personal quest. Is he really Hyrule's Chosen Hero, or is this all just a big joke? And who is this 'Dark Link' and what does he want with Link? What is a historian supposed to do when legend becomes reality?
Story Notes:
--Post series
--Rated M for language, some violence, adult themes and innuendo
--Newest chapter -- Duel of the Twin Masters: A bluff leads to a battle of words and magic; two champions face off with sacred blades.

2. Future Hyrule: Courage Never Dies » reviews
Post series. Historian Link Masters knows plenty about the legendary heroes of Hyrule, but everything gets more complicated when legend comes to life. Can he really be the Chosen Hero? And who exactly is this 'Dark Link' and what does he want?

3. Compass » reviews
Sequel to Masquerade. Four directions and a center. Four masks and a hero. As the Carnival approaches, Link decides his masks deserve a little freedom, or at least as much freedom as he can give them.

4. Shattered reviews
In Hyrule, the battle line was simple: the Chosen Hero versus the King of Evil. Nothing in Termina is ever so simple. Somewhat dark.

7. Den of Thieves reviews
Several years post MM. A lone traveler hunting monsters stops in at a tavern deep in the woods. Too often people see only what they want to see. Dark fic.

8. Fade to Black » reviews
Post OoT and MM. Link returns to Hyrule after eight years away to find Lake Hylia frozen and Zelda nervous about her dreams. Is a Hero greater than the sum of his parts? What if the parts have minds of their own?

9. Herosword reviews
Post TP. Link returns to the Sacred Forest Meadow in search of a purpose. What use is there for a hero or a hero's sword in a time of peace? Perhaps a dull blade merely needs rehoning.

10. Masquerade reviews
Post Majora's Mask. Link's masks are more than just tools. Tools don't have memories or desires.
