Summary
Sleep refused her that night. Despite the darkness and her fatigue, no sleep overcame her. She sat there, mind consumed by questions and miserable feelings. What had Zelda ever done to deserve this? Any of this? Why would Link not trust her enough to ask for help? Why was he so… empty? Why had he cut open his arm?
The questions remained, unanswered and piling atop one another with no end to them in sight. And so they piled up, and up, and up. The final thought she had before she finally sank beneath the tides of consciousness was an idle prayer to Hylia. It was the first time she had prayed to Hylia since before activating her powers. Years of stony silence from the goddess had only served to sever the princess’s belief in her power to help.
And yet, for some reason, she prayed. “Hylia,” she thought exhaustedly, “Just make Link trust me. Let me help him…” Her thoughts trailed off into meaninglessness and faded into restless dreams. The final thing she saw as sleep laid claim to her again was a golden beam of sunlight pressing into her eyes.

Link is turned into a child by Hylia post-botw, for seemingly unknown purposes, as Link learns to trust others and eventually find his way back to being okay

Summary
Link comes across an unconscious Kafei just minutes before Termina's destruction. This anachronism disrupts the flow of time and its preceding events. Kafei had no purpose to be at Clock Tower the third night, or so Link thought, while Kafei believes he's seen the Hero before. Mayor Dotour's son cannot recall his memories of him.
They're left to pick up the pieces. In the end, Link attains an understanding of "grown-up" matters after all. (Link/Kafei) (Kafei/Anju)

The Demon Queen by hatenohouse

Summary
Seven years after the fall of the Demon Dragon and return of the Princess, Link and Zelda have disappeared from the throne and the world’s stage, choosing quiet love in their hillside Hateno home over the burden of rule in a kingdom that seems content in its peace.
But in Hyrule, harmony is never permanent, and power refuses to be left unattended.
Ganondorf returns, not with fire and war, but with strategy, influence, and a bloodless coup. In his wake, the Hero vanishes without a trace. The Princess is claimed not as a prisoner, but as his Queen. Draped in silks, paraded like a jewel, Zelda finds herself back in her castle with her crown restored, and her body playing host to a storm she’s denied for lifetimes.
As whispers rise from the Depths and ancient secrets claw to the surface, Zelda must confront a new Hyrule, the choices she once buried, and the man whose darkness is no longer her enemy but her shadow, her partner, her match, and above all, the one desire she'd been sure she could hide from the eyes of eternity.

Summary
Neither Link or Zelda had a chance to respond before the mummy held its hands over its chest and gathered the smoke-like gloom that seeped from its chest. With a guttural roar, it raised its arms. The gloom surged upwards and violently collided with the cavern ceiling above.
Zelda could only stare in horror before the ground cracked underneath her feet. She gasped, stumbled back, and fell backward. Link jumped after her, face twisted in panic and pain, and reached out to her with his damaged arm. They just brushed fingertips before Zelda felt herself come to an abrupt stop in the air, and Link fell past her. He twisted in the air, trying to grab onto her outstretched arm, but to no avail.
“Link!” Zelda screamed, watching in horror as Link tumbled into the depths below, swallowed by the darkness.
After that, she felt a tug on her arm, and the world went white.
——————
Or: a TOTK AU in which neither Link or Zelda are sent back in time. Instead, Link is trapped in the Depths with a corrupted arm, and Zelda is brought to the Great Sky Island by Rauru, tasked with saving Hyrule and finding Link before he's overtaken by gloom. -

Summary
Link's not doing too great after spending a year or so (time doesn't quite exist when you're shield-surfing around Hyrule) rescuing the disembodied voice of Zelda, whom he really does not remember.
Post-calamity, but we're ignoring the secret end cutscene. They're not going to Zora's Domain first.

Summary
Link is not entirely sure of what he thought would greet him when he walked through the door. An intact room, perhaps. Flowers delicately leaning in the vase he bought for Zelda the other day. Chairs carefully tucked under their new dining table. Two swords hanging in their scabbards on the hook by the window. Their home, exactly as he had left it not a half hour prior.
Of course, that would be too easy.

Summary
It's been a few years since Link and Midna saved Hyrule from Ganondorf and Zant. Link is now a highly regarded nobleman thanks to his heroic actions on behalf of the kingdom, and many Hylians can't help but obsess over Link's personal life, which has been riddled with failed relationships. He still has the Shadow Crystal to attain his canine abilities at will, but when the Shadow Crystal shatters and he is stuck in his wolf form, what is he to do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How powerful a love like that must be; to easily transcend the barrier between life and death...How lost and unsure she must feel…of her worth or sense of being, perhaps? Maybe I would feel the same way had I lost Ilia to death or someone else precious to me? The only difference is...I have never been in love..."

Summary
The wind picks up around them, pulling at Link’s hair in gentle tosses with ghostly caresses. Revali crouches with his wings flaring out, feathers brilliant in how they shine. “See you next time,” and with a blink, he’s gone.
Link breathes out, something churning in his chest, a wishful hope that refuses to stay buried.
This is the first time Revali admits he looks forward to Link’s company.
Or, 6 times Link and Revali accidentally run into each other, and the one time they meet up with a purpose.

Hyrule Compendium:
Entry 202
Species Name: Zelda
Common Locations: Greater Hyrule
Recoverable Materials: Unknown
Description: This is the draconic form that Queen Zelda of Hyrule took on during the Upheaval. Though it resembles other spirit dragons, it is the queen in body and soul. Even through this incredible sacrifice, her whole natural form, she continued to serve as Hyrule's leader and did everything she could to fight back the Demon King, acting as a symbol of perseverance and selflessness for every Hylian.
(Or, a partial solution to draconification leaves Zelda in command of the new form she was compelled to take in the age of founding.) -

Summary
Link can’t think about what might happen if it doesn’t work. If they’ve desecrated one of Mipha’s last surviving possessions, one of Link’s last reminders of her. One less thing to lay next to him in bed in a wretched reconstruction of their life before their Calamity. One less thing to worry with his thumb when he gets nervous, when he starts to fear that he might be about to forget again. One less thing to succeed her.
But it will work. It has to. And then Link won’t need a tunic of dead scales. There’ll be the real, live – alive, alive, alive – thing, Mipha restored to warm flesh and cold blood.
--
With the help of friends, Link makes a plan to revive Mipha. But if it even works... will she come back the same?
