The Legend of the Princess
is a The Legend of Zelda fanfic by Rynling. It's a Ganondorf/Zelda Patchwork Fic starring Zelda.
This fanfic provides examples of:
- Adaptational Mundanity: It's explained that Gerudo do not literally only have one male a century. Instead, their male infant mortality rate is incredibly high.
- Catapult Nightmare: The fic starts with Zelda panicked after waking from a nightmare.
- Elsewhere Fic: The story takes elements from various games but is set in its own period.
- Good Morning, Crono: The story starts with Princess Zelda waking from a nightmare.
- Legend Fades to Myth: At the start of the story, the tale of Ocarina of Time has faded into legend. The Triforce is a symbol rather than anything divine, while the Sacred Realm and the Ocarina of Time are considered myths. That's taken into reconsideration when the princess finds the Ocarina of Time.
- Missing Mom: Zelda's mother died while on a diplomatic mission to the Gerudo Desert.
- Patchwork Fic: The game features characters from various games, such as Telma and Impa.
- Setting Update: The fic is set in a 1870s equivalent, rather than in a Medieval Stasis like most games.
