Zelda Hyrule has spent her whole life in the spotlight - daughter of the university principal, top of her class, and expected to be perfect in every way. But when she enrolls at the elite Nayru University, she quickly learns that perfection means nothing here. On her first day, she meets Link, a quiet, mysterious boy who seems to notice her in ways no one else does. Their connection sparks instantly... and so does the jealousy. Suddenly, Zelda becomes the target of campus gossip queens Hilda and Midna, whose posts and whispers spread across social media like wildfire. Between brutal gym classes, chaotic science labs, cooking disasters, and astrology mishaps, Zelda finds herself fighting rumors, bullies, and her own insecurities. At an elite university where everyone watches, judges, and competes, Zelda must learn who she is beyond her last name... and whether she can trust the boy who keeps stepping into her orbit. A story of jealousy, friendship, slow‑burn romance, and finding strength in a world that wants to break you.

"You know, you should stop by my place on Tuesday," Zelda comments in a tone so jarringly sweet he's reeled right back in. He shakes his head, certain he's misheard her. "What? I-" "Our cleaning lady comes by on Tuesdays," she smiles. "Maybe she can vacuum all those cobwebs out of your ears-since your head is so pathetically void of any intelligent thought." Link slams the pencil down flat. "If you hate tutoring me so much, why don't you just quit already?" It's Link most daunting adventure yet-High school! Having just moved to the big city, Link is struggling in more ways than one: Relentless bullying, no friends besides his sassy little sister, and to top it all off, he's failing! But when tutoring pits him against the most popular girl in school, he realizes he might not be the only one in need of rescuing.

Season 3 of the YOU series

A relationship between an internationally praised athlete and a straight A student who hates any kind of attention is bound to go wrong. But these two college students don't care about the odds. While Link works hard on recovering from a traumatic injury, Zelda is trying her best to juggle the school's expectations, her Father's upper class life style, and the anxiety of a million eyes prying on her relationship.

Link is the star athlete of Hyrule University and Zelda an exceptional scholar. They should be focusing on school and sports, but they keep getting distracted by each other. This fanfic includes characters from the Zelda franchise, but mainly from botw and aoc.
