Fics like And I'm Running Out of Good Options

We make our decisions based on what we know best at the time, Link rationalized. That boy did what he thought was right at the time, that boy did the best he could. "You did well, Link, and you're still doing well." He wasn't sure if he would believe that this time, or even next time or the time after that. But if she kept talking to him in that voice, with the weighted look of love in her eyes, perhaps he could learn to. After experiencing a childhood of neglect and abuse, Link finds some refuge in the Hyrule Knight Academy. Surrounded by a new set of nihilistic peers and a handful of professors that expect too much of him, he struggles to keep handle of the broken, malformed pieces of himself. In the meantime, the Kingdom of Hyrule is frantically preparing for the impending Calamity. A fateful day in the forest thrusts him into the inescapable role of the Hero, a role he'd do anything to abandon. As Ganon's grip on Hyrule tightens, Link is forced to mourn a childhood that he's still living.
