* ForcedMiscarriage: This is attempted but subverted. When the barely [[TeenPregnancy 17 year old]] Princess Zelda becomes pregnant out of wedlock, it causes a scandal in the court. Her father and his royal advisors try to make her terminate the pregnancy but Zelda refuses. One of the advisors [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink sneaks a poison into the princess' food]], which causes Zelda to get rapidly sick.

He is tired of the constant feuding between the Gerudo and Hylians. He wants to make peace and allow his tribe to be treated like the Hyrulian citizens that they are. When Ganondorf marches to Hyrule Castle unannounced, he meets the newest incarnation of Princess Zelda. She's a sprightly 17-year old girl who doesn't remind Ganondorf of her previous lives. There's an instant attraction between the two, which leads to the duo having sex a few days after they met. Zelda falls pregnant from this encounter.

The story takes place in an unspecified time period that's implied to be after most previous games. Lord Ganondorf has memories of his previous lives. He is tired of the constant feuding between the Gerudo and Hylians. He wants to make peace and allow his tribe to be treated like the Hyrulian citizens that they are. When Ganondorf marches to Hyrule Castle unannounced, he meets the newest incarnation of Princess Zelda. She's a sprightly 17-year old girl who doesn't remind Ganondorf of her previous lives. There's an instant attraction between the two, which leads to the duo having sex a few days after they met. Zelda falls pregnant from this encounter.
''Blind Courage'' features a fair amount of world-building about the series compared to the games.

* CrystalDragonJesus: Just like in canon, the Hyrulian religion is Christian-like. People even do the sign of the Three Goddess' over their chest, like how Christians cross themselves.

!!''Blind Courage'' provides examples of:
* AgeGapRomance: Zelda meets Ganondorf when she is seventeen and he is twenty-seven. While DeliberateValuesDissonance lessens the stigma of their age gap, it's still noted that their relationship is delicate due to Zelda's youth.
* DeathOfAChild: This is used as a world-building element in the backstory. Due to dwindling resources and routine wars with the Hylian empire, the Gerudo were prone to malnutrition. Boys rarely made it past their first year. Eventually Gerudo women grew to evolve so that they'd only produce female children.
* ElsewhereFic: The story isn't based on any particular incarnation of the games. It features a new Zelda from an unknown time period.
