Author has written 10 stories for Legend of Zelda.

Greetings!

I hope you enjoy my stories; they were fun to write and I hope they will be fun to read as well!

A little word of warning; my stories tend to be very violent. Many of my stories also include characters that struggle with depression, suicidal thoughts and actions, and/or self-harm.

A little about me...

I'm a college student majoring in secondary education.

I love math.

I also love lizards. The leopard gecko in my profile pic is my little friend, Toothless, named after the little green dragon in the ORIGINAL "How to Train Your Dragon" stories. My back up plan to circumvent loneliness if I don't have the opportunity to have a family is to become the reptile version of the stereotypical crazy old cat lady. Snakes, geckos, bearded dragons, chameleons, perhaps some frogs (even though they're not reptiles), you name it - they'll all be there. Next on my list is whichever kind of snake I can inform, and I'll name it Sage (if female) or Salazar (if male).

I am female.

My pen name was originally going to be "bladeofthebokoblins," because I have a little (weird?) obsession with the bokoblins in Breath of the Wild. Seriously - they're so much fun to watch!


Guest Replies:

Guest: Thank you!! It really means a lot to me to hear that; the words you used were absolutely meaningful to me! You're very welcome; it's been fun for me! Thank you again!! :D

P (Guest): Thank you! And yeah, that's exactly how I think the king is feeling; it's why I'd never want to be any sort of political leader! And it's also one of the few reasons I'm actually glad we don't live in a fantasy world, haha!

I hope you like it! ( :

Ren (Guest): Awwww, thanks!! And thank you again!! ( : I hope you enjoy what's too come! :D

Ren (Guest): I'm happy to hear it!! :D I can honestly say that I've really put my heart and soul into it. I LOVE writing, and this has been such a fun story to do! And that's so cool that you're getting to play the game now!! I agree; I didn't like Zelda a lot the first time I played through the game; it's only now that I've done it a bit more and written her character a bit that I'm starting to really appreciate her and the struggles she's faced.

Good thoughts! I haven't entirely decided myself, I think; I might end up just keeping it vague, depending on whether or not I choose to do another story I have in mind. As for those unfortunate occurrences, I'm doing my best to ignore them - and getting better, I think! :D

Thank you so much!! I'll do my best!! ( :

Guest: Thank you!! Next chapter comes out tomorrow morning; I hope you like it! ( :

Ren (Guest) (A Monster's Skin): And thanks here too, haha!! I'm glad it could bring a laugh! And you're welcome; it was very fun to think about! ( :

Ren (Guest) (When Lightning Strikes): I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you! :D

LowTwilight (Guest): Yeah, poor guy! I'd be horrified if someone I loved like that seemed to get hurt because of an idea I had; it would absolutely be the worst! But I'm glad you liked it; thank you!! I'll do my best! ( :

P (Guest): Thank you!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Things are definitely on a positive trend for him; maybe I'll change direction and give him a completely happy story from here on out, haha! :D

From last week...

P (Guest): Yay!! :D

That's awesome to hear - you called it, haha! I'm really glad you like how they chose Timber; it was nice to sort of bring Groose back into the picture again. He'll have some significance later on, haha!

I honestly can't believe it at times! This is seriously the longest thing I've ever written, and I'm still having lots of fun with it! I'm writing chapter 63 right now, so I've been able to increase my chapter buffer a bit and hopefully next week I can increase it even more; I need to have at least a 16 chapter buffer so that I can keep up with the weekly posting schedule. If I don't get there in the next week and a half before school starts, I *might* change to an every-other-week schedule, but hopefully that won't be necessary! I'll certainly do my best!! ( :

Thank you for all of your support!! :D

P (Guest): Yeah, we lost power for a while the other day too! I love the rainstorms, but the power issues can be a bit worrisome, for sure!

He's one of my favorites, too! (Which might sound a bit weird since I created him in the first place, but I've really had so much fun with his character!) It'll be interesting to see if your ideas about what's in the stables are right, haha!

Thank you so much!! Stay safe and have fun!! :D

LowTwilight (Guest): Awww, thank you! ( : I hope you have so much fun with your writing!! It's definitely great to have your own special twist! :D

Me too! Groose was such a fun character in that game; he really made me laugh, and yet it was surprising how many emotional scenes he was a part of. Wind Waker was the first Zelda game I played, but it would be fun to try Twilight Princess sometime! And, my goodness, writing a sequel would be fun, I think! At the moment there are a few external factors that will determine that, or at least how soon it happens, but we'll see. Thank you so much!! I'll do my best! (And it's all good, haha!)


An explanation for my decision to delete and re-upload Rifts Between Us and to delete reviews matching the writing style of a certain guest reviewer:

Since January 12th, a guest reviewer has been posting an incredible amount of comments to my story. Although some of their comments pointed out actual flaws in the story, others were based entirely on their opinions of what I should be doing with the story (how I should define realism, how I should portray characters, what they believed characters would end up doing, and so on). When they had an issue with something I changed on purpose, I explained to them my reasoning behind making that decision; I spent several hours drafting each of these replies and had a friend look over them as well to ensure I was civil and respectful. In response, they often simply restated their grievances and claimed I was making excuses. They would also post reviews containing similar comments under different names, trying to make it sound as if there were multiple different people agreeing with them. This, I believe, is a rather underhanded and dishonest tactic. Additionally, this guest reviewer’s tone often came across as rather scornful and impolite, sounding as if they were making fun of what I had written. They still claimed, however, that they were providing constructive criticism and that they had done nothing wrong.

Because I felt that they were crossing a line, I deleted their reviews; when they continued, I deleted and reposted the story itself in the hopes of escaping them. At that time, I was unaware that there was a way to delete guest reviews after the 36-hour moderation window had passed, so deleting the story was the only way I knew of to get rid of this one person's past statements. It was nonetheless a decision that truly pained me; I honestly appreciated all of the support and feedback posted by the many other people who had left civil and encouraging comments on this story, or who shared how the story had impacted them in some way. I never delete the email notifications for reviews on the story; I sincerely treasure all of the other feedback I've received, and I'd like to officially apologize to everyone who left their well-thought-out, constructive, and encouraging comments on the story before I deleted it.

The guest reviewer who drove me to such measures is, however, continuing to post reviews, which I am still deleting. Some of what they have posted did admittedly contain actual helpful feedback that some other reviewers also pointed out; however, I am still deleting any reviews that match this reviewer’s tone and style in the hopes that they will eventually give up and leave me alone. If for whatever reason they want to continue to read the story, I would respectfully ask that they keep their thoughts to themself. They claim to be unable to trust me, but I am likewise unable to trust them to be polite. They have consistently written things that have nothing to do with the story itself, twist the characters in ways that greatly offend me, or make excessive use of scornful language, and I refuse to tolerate that any longer.

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve kept every email notification I received from FanFiction.net about a review getting posted to my story; in light of the guest’s threat to report me, I created a GoogleDoc with every review they’ve ever posted on my story, copy-pasted directly from those notification emails, to use as justification if they follow through with their threat. The document is now 30 pages long, and is available upon request through DocX. My responses to them are also available upon request so that it can be determined whether or not I have truly mistreated them. Here, I’ve provided selections from their reviews that I feel most accurately represent why I delete their comments.

Mocking, Sarcastic Tone

1/12 size hardly matters if A Pint Size Hylians can Slaughter armies of monsters by himself. LOL.. so you saying a couple of Hylian men overpowered him is completely laughable

1/12 you are simply putting Libk this much crap for the sake of it.

Zelda is even more of A B*. Yet You seem Content on Making Link Spineless in wanting to Connect with her.

You seems it take sadistic pleasure and chipping away at his self esteem. From my point of view seems to Revel in it. what is the point of it

1/30 It Like Watching Rian Johnson Ruining All Over Again and With His Cute Attempt in Subverting Exeptatiobs.

1/30 Dude you really had him tortured and abused by his superiors. Lol. What kind of B.S is that. Lol

1/30 your feelings do not matter.

1/30 So I'm sorry your self-esteem is low?. Sound acting passive Agressive and Butt Hurt.

You are only giving me the impression that you're making up excuse and Only Care About Being Right..

No One Cares About Realism..

2/7 I don't recall seeing any negative reviews in the comments section.. aggressive perhaps.. But not Hostile... If Constructive criticism is Negative then This Author Lacks Thick Skin..

2/14 The Chapter itself Is Entirely disrespectful To Breath of The Wild and The Chracters..

It might be nice to you make no effort and paying attention to the chracters at all..

2/18 I recommend you stop deleting reviews that don't kiss your a*.

3/1 Snowflake

3/7 It's rather disgusting that this Author would Abuse his Power and just delete any reviews the have constructive criticism.. you see this is where it starts. First become arrogant and Then Delete Any Delete any Review Because Of Damaged Ego or Insecurity.. Then They Lie and Claim The Review are Flames.

3/10 I'm so proud of you deleting reviews that contain constructive criticism and feedback. At least we all know that you're hovering around your story censoring everything that goes against your narrative

3/30 You're just making this story edgy for the sake of it.

You Have Link Like Zelda Despite the Fact that she showed so much hostility towards him.. that type of relationship only comes off as toxic

4/4 But the pros of the story the romance between Link and Zelda that is poorly done in a rush to my opinion.. Anythink the relationship in the game was more realistic compared to this.. it simply comes off as cringy and toxic in this story..

4/5 though I feel you you made the King and Janin as Poorly Written Cartoon Villians..

4/6 Oh please i see all these Reviewers hoping Link beating Janin.. that is a load of BS because the Author loves S* disrespecting the characters in general.. Nobody Called Out B.S On Mipha Potrayal expect a Few. Lol

Have the Hero it's a man handled by a few guards. LOL

It's okay to take Liberty with making changes just as long it not Half assed and the Plot of the Story still stays the Same to appease Canon and timeline.

4/14 I mean you try so hard to make him link relatable but you write him so unrealistically at how he acts that is Cringey and falls short.

4/19 do your best. even though you're characters were inconsistent earlier and even now.

4/26 I advise you to dial back that ego and think about the meaning Author.. there's nothing relatable to your character that had taken on the name link..

you don't have agree with my reviews just as I Do Not have To Agree That This Story is Clean Im Slightest.. there is nothing clean about the story.. It Is Mean spirited..

4/26 I know for a fact that you are mistsken about bullying. If you was bullying you then he would have been constantly spamming flames that's Meant to insult your stories without explanation

do you really think that this is acceptable behavior on your part?

why would Anyone Trust You To Be Truthful if Censor/Delete Reviews.. I've looked at stories where Authors only Demand Everybody To Kiss Their Butt.. If Any Reviewer Provise anything But 100% Praise then Their Review Is Deleted and Even The Fanatics of Story will Attack The the critic... Bullying him into silence or leaving the story…

4/27 I'm very disappointed that you would spread lies and Try Slander my imtentioms. That Is Something A SNAKE would Do. So you expose your true colors when I criticize your Story.. I never knew That Providing Feedback Counts As Bullying..

the only Reason Was harsh because you came of As A supposedly self-righteous hypocrite.. You Had The Nerve To Act Offended when My comparison was Accurate.

You may fool the other reviewers but you and I both know the truth.. and that will stick to your Consciousness forever so I'm not losing any sleep over it..

5/3 I'am sorry this story is Poorly Written. You have Link Being Okay with getting Blamed again...I never complained before because I thought you Would do your best.. But nothing changed... It Like You Do not Even want Improve..

5/17 I'm sorry but you were writing this terrible how can he be punished if there is no proof that he killed his parents.

This story has done nothing but play on the emotions of people that don't know better...

Lol. You're just trying to provoke an emotional response from your audience. that's the impression that I'm getting.

5/24 Sir I know what you are doing and for that i will report your story. I know See why Guest reviewers have a Low opnion of you. Only A Coward Would Delete Reviews that provide feedback

6/6 Dude you must have some problems if you're deleting reviews that will not kiss your A*.

but you are so petty that that you delete them despite the fact that you have no right because it is feedback.. it's clear to everybody that you are just too vindictive and arrogant to accept criticism and understand others viewpoints... trust me you will get your karma and no one has to anything.

6/15 your bio shows naivety your part and immaturity because you don't practice what you preach

Trying to get me to follow their ideas

1/12 All of this crap link went through in this story could make Au Where Link becomes a disillusioned Person that Trusts No one and With Him Keeping The Negative Memories due To Link Suffering More in This Au when he wakes Up.. As Bitter Former Knight across This New World 100 Years Later.. Will He eventually Care Enough To Save The World despite the fact that the world never allowed him to save it a hundred years ago. 1/12 Why Should Risk is Life To Save these Ingrates He Said To Himself.. But He Slowly Changes his Tone as bonded with the more open-minded newer generation that understand him better.

1/30 Let's be hypothetical what is link Just Decides F* It I'am Leaving and Quits becuase Of The Crap He Went Through. He see all of these so-called experience Knights Treating Like Crap.

For Example Realistically If Made Au Where Link Failed To Become A Hero Because The World Was Not Ready To Saved. Why? Because You Can Easily Create an Enviroment Was Destined To …

2/24 Real Point the breath of wild is That Link and Zelda Were Doomed To Fail becauae of the Toxic environment and Negative Pressure that they were brought up in... The world was entitled to the hero and The Royal family was Entiled to Have Reincarnation of the Goddess be born among them. Therefore they are Entiled to not Treat them as Same treat harshly because they Know They get saved Regardless.. hotels father does not truly respect his Daughter as Person and Many People Truely Did Not respect Link?.. Why? Because the world is entitled.. They became arrogant and Got comfortable because the royal family is aware that the hero can reincarnate

3/27 Idea

Imagine If made a Story Where Link was Emotionless Hardass when he on the Job.. Because of Janin Raising him. He Only Display Emotions When No one is Watching. It Hard For Him ro grasp humor.. When it Come to Emotion it Comes out in Subtle Ways.. .. Link is not Dumb in Social interaction if Feel Higher ups Might Dislike him he would be kissass and Throw False Praises at them something that they will Fall for because he Knows Telling People what they Want to hear Will Save him alot of Trouble..

3/31 Link and Zelda barely know each other in this story.. The King have Sealed Hyrule Fate.. Even if Link Defeats Janin and Stay as Zelda's Knight.. Link Will feel even More unstable and pressured and Public Faith in the Royal Family is destroyed Which destroy the Purpose.. Link was Never given a Personal Reason on Why he Fights.. Many Expect him to act a Certain way but Never give him the respect.

4/5 again if it feels to him better to come back he will likely kill the guards that are guarded him in his banishment and be on his Own.. Only for him to eventually decide to come back after Thinking about Zelda..

4/5 for example link kill the guards or escape from the guards during his banishment.. and decides Hyrule is not worth dying for..

4/11 if anything Zelda should be the one to try provoke emotions out of him.

Have a timeline be established. For example make the story stands in over a year. Which would give Zelda plenty of time to get to know link and see what makes him tick. See if he has any hobbies what he likes...what p* him off.

Things Zelda Notice. Link's Love of wild. Taking great care of his Horse.. Will Orders Not Matter Insanely impossible it is... Zelda begins to realize that link in Sense is Brainwashed Due To Growing Up believing He is Tool/Weapon of Hyrule.. this type of Reckless devotion is why Mipha Always Have To Heal Link and reprimand him in private for being Reckless.

4/15 I have a theory that the next chapter link dies saving Zelda from the yiga clan... we have to be realistic here.

Because This Story Is Different. I feel this would be the best opportunity for a link to meet his demise Saving Zelda From The Yiga Clan.. . Normally he has no problem figjting them off.. But With his injuries, being weakend physically, Mentally and spiritually and Worried and protecting Zelda.. Link Will Likely Meet End not from Yiga Killing him.. but from sheer exhaustion and Blood loss from Saving Zelda..Then You Have More Yiga Clan Arrive and Zelda Powers Activate To Kill and Scare Them Off.. The Loyal Shiekah Clan Arrives To Bring him to the Resurrection Chamber..

Or you can change and/or expand that and have Link and Zelda travel back only For The Calamity Ganon

4/20 Link is Joker

And King Is Murray.. But maybe it would be fitting if Janin took the role of Murray. pretty sure Zelda Would not be happy with Link killing her Daddy. Lol

Pretending to be other people

1/30 However I Agree Eith The Reviewers That Story Is Unrealistic When Comes To The Amount of B* and How Abuse is Handled.

You Potray These Charcter In way That Are Similar to How What The Other Reviewer Decribes How Disney Buthered Iconic Star wars Chracters...

2/22 I'm not sure why reviewers Providing feedback are getting attacked by a bunch of Yes Men.. that is not right and that is not fair.

3/15 I find it weird that you would post the reviews after The Reviewers Called you out on it.. on the other hand you likely did not know it took awhile for the reviews to be processed.. Some Guest Reviewers can Be Very paranoid.. If the latter is true in the Guest reviewer owes you an apology.. however if you were delaying or Deleting Reviews then You be The Bigger person and apologize.

Regardless I feel that guest reviewer should not jump to conclusions…

4/23 I agree with the other reviewers.. while the story has a good concept.. the logic of these characters actions make no sense because they know how important link is..

4/26 Again not sure why you think This Reviewer is Hostlile towards when he or she clearly was Providing Feedback you were the one that was slightly rude to him for your when Respond to His Review..

But some of Us Still Remember that sone those Reviews were Never Trollish. Harsh .. Perhaps but never Trollish.

6/6 Dude you must have some problems if you're deleting reviews that will not kiss your A*. My friend told about you..

6/30 I still see This Trash is Lying about Guest reviewers being the same person. The More you lie like a Snake The More you Expose Your Two Faced Nature.. Provide Proof they are the Same Reviewer.


A list of the different aliases they used: Guest, Po, Part 1, Part 2, T, Realism, Rift, Really, Proud, Idea, Disillusioned, Nature vs Nurture, Imp, Off, Getwhatudeserve, Joke, Mem, I want unalive, Question, Crit, Romance

This user has successfully prevented themselves from getting reported, since they are a guest reviewer. However, this also makes it impossible to prove that they really are the same person. Nonetheless, upon examining their punctuation, format, and voice, it's clear to me that they're the same, and I've heard many of you express similar opinions. There is also a pattern to how they name themselves (if they do choose to give themselves a name). Their pseudonym almost always relates in some way to what they're commenting on, rather than giving themselves an identity. There is also the fact that they give themselves different names when they're clearly the same person, such as when they name themselves "Part 1" and "Part 2." Additionally, after naming themselves "Getwhatudeserve" in one review, they didn't give themselves a name in their next two reviews clarifying something they had written in their previous comments, describing it as "My review," making statements such as "I made some errors." Because of their deception and inconsistency, the logical thing for me to do is to assume that any reviews matching their unique writing style come from that user.

How I identify them:

Inappropriate capitalization, use of [..] instead of [...] or [.] and general incorrect punctuation, frequent typos, inconsistent grammar, usernames that describe their review instead of giving themselves an identity, occasionally posting links to other sites (which are blocked by FFN)

Total reviews they posted: 63

Malice by dontwaitupxx reviews

When Lightning Strikes reviews
Cold. Distant. Impassive. It's the only way Link feels he can live. The only way for him to hide the truth from the people of Hyrule - the truth that, inside, he is terrified. Broken. Uncertain. But the deception comes at a heavy cost, one that he can no longer hide when lightning strikes and a terrible mistake is made. Rated T for darkness and violence.

Anything For You reviews

Ice reviews
Link would never brag about his deeds. But because of his humility, the people of Hyrule did not know that the quiet young man always willing to help them was silently struggling to find himself again as he fought against the evil threatening their land. The hero protects them, but who will protect the hero, even from himself? T for violence and suicidal actions.

Rated T for self-harm and attempted suicide.

The Legend of Zelda: Evil's Dawn reviews
The legends speak of a hero-a young man clad in green that, whenever evil bares its fangs and rears up out of the darkness, would beat it back into the abyss. The time is now ripe for a new hero to arise… On permanent(?) hiatus; sorry!
