Princess Zelda has watched Link, her best friend and general of the Hylian army, explore neighboring planets, lead diplomatic missions, and defend their planet against possible attacks for years. >> >> But when a strange moon appears in the Hylian skies, shining with hostile light, Zelda is the first to volunteer to investigate. Link and his right hand man, Ganondorf, enlist their services alongside her. As the team begins to study the strange moon, they soon discover that it is filled not only with fearsome monsters, but an ancient evil that seems to call to the spirits of each one of them. Will they be able to neutralize the threat to protect Hyrule, or will the presence of the moon unleash a curse that has lain in wait for generations? > >> [!blank]+ Overview >> ![[altts cover.jpg|300]] >> >>| | | :--------------: | | @[[coffebits]] (artist), @[[abbyz-elda\|abbygrace77]] (writer) | | Ongoing | | Concept Art, Fic | | Sci-fi | | Teen | | Zelink | | Tumblr (#A Link To the Stars), [AO3](https://archiveofourown.org/works/56729398/chapters/144213868) | ### **Behind the Scenes** ### **Story Spotlight Reviews** > Original sci-Fi retelling of the Legend of Zelda? Count me in! If you are a fan of Starship Troopers, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Legend of Zelda you will enjoy this fun exploration to the final frontier. By the books, General Link, headstrong Princess Zelda, and my favorite, sympathetic, conflicted Ganondorf. It has a little something for everyone - intrigue, adventure, romance, comedy. Put on your spacesuit, buckle up and get ready for launch. > > \- [[Mistress_Lrigtar]] > The collaboration everyone should be paying attention to! Coffebits and abbygrace77 work together to weave the tale of a Hyrule far into the future, where the threats once posed to Hyrule are lost legends and ancient history. The art and character designs are beautiful, and the story is thrilling from the start! I'm anxiously awaiting every update! > > \- [[pelicanpig]] > A Link to the Stars is a LoZ Science-Fiction-story. Link, Zelda, and Gandorf live on the planet Hyrule—Zelda as the Princess, Link as the General of the army, and Ganondorf as his second in command. Their lives are turned upside down when a strange moon appears over Hyrule. The more they investigate the more it seems like something dangerous is going on that threatens the whole planet. > > While the events send Zelda and Link on a journey to explore the heritage of an ancient Hero, Ganondorf is suddenly confronted with his Gerudo heritage when he becomes a candidate to compete for the crown of the Gerudo over night. Link and Zelda grow closer (again) on the trip but they disconnect with Ganondorf, who struggles to navigate his new life. That his inner monologue suddenly has a very different ring to it, just like someone is whispering into his ear, doesn't help the situation. > > The story is based on art coffeebits creates for this AU and Abby and coffeebits work closely together to ensure the fic is as accurate as it can get. > > The plot around the strange moon and the events its appearance set in motion is the driving force of the story and the characters develop alongside the plot. It's interesting to see how they react so differently to the stress they're put under and how their feelings for each other influence their actions. > > While I'm enjoying the slow burn between Link and Zelda, I think an equally > interesting part of the story is how Ganondorf tries to resist the pull of the power that is calling him. Abby does a good job of giving all three characters their own journey and a spot in the limelight. > > \- [[ZeldaElmo]] > Not only is the setting for this refreshing (it's in space!), it still manages to stay very true to Hyrule. There are a ton of sci-fi details that make it really fun but never feel as if there's any info dumping happening at all. All the world building is seamless and really, really good! > > The characters, the main trio especially, are a delight. They have their most important dominant traits but they're definitely their own unique interpretations, and the relationship between Link and Zelda is super interesting to read and see evolve. Ganondorf, for his part, is one of the most intriguing aspects of the story, and I'm not quite caught up yet but so far, it's very hard to tell what's next for him. And to top it off, the story is packed full of gorgeous art because it's a collab between an artist and a writer! Don't deny yourself the pleasure of discovering this one. > > \- [[Karama9]] > A very fun sci-fi take on a LoZ story! Really enjoy the dynamics between Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf because they've all known each other for so long. Worldbuilding that is truly awesome to behold and overall just fun seeing things that are familiar in a slightly different light. The writing and the art really come together to make it a true masterpiece. Highly recommend if you want a fun and adventurous story that doesn't miss when it comes to the emotional beats! > > \- [[louwhose]] > An action-packed adventure through the stars! Foreign finds familiar for this quest formula, all of the classic Zelda charm in a new and unique package. Coffe's worldbuilding and Abby's writing are incredible. If you're looking for a space adventure with the Zelda flavor, this will not disappoint. > > \- [[amelias-hart]] ### **Other Works** - [A Link to the Stars: Constellations](https://archiveofourown.org/works/61071565/chapters/156026611)
