''[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1008634/TiggerPup91 TiggerPup91]''

* This girl writes for different fandoms, but her Legend of Zelda fanfics are based off of the [[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|The Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventures]] manga.

 

''[http://m.fanfiction.net/u/827289/Dictionary_Ink?cid=123&s=0&a=s Dictionary Ink]''

* Dictionary Ink writes for many fandoms, and has a very nice collection of Zelda drabbles. Her style is peculiar as it contrasts and moves between choppy abruptness and eloquence, but somehow it flows and makes for an engaging read every time. Her Zelda pieces are good character studies, and her fics are het. Mostly. (There ''is'' one crack-fic of Zelda/Ruto...)

 

* Recommended by Cattychan

* This girl is spectacular when it comes to plot holes. Many of her fics (most notably ''The Fierce War'' and ''Cry for Hyrule'') do a great job of "humanizing" Ganondorf.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4665742/1/The_Great_Desert The Great Desert]'' by Shadsie (Might be considered AU due to the setting.)

''[[Insomnia (fanfic)|Insomnia]]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/474893/tikitikirevenge tikitikirevenge]

* Status: Ongoing

* ''Synopsis'': A novelisation of [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]] done in a captivating style that sheds new light on the characters, scenario and setting.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3045006/1/Group_of_Weirdos_Ocarina_of_Time Group of Weirdos: Ocarina of Time]'' by Mr. Light Chicken Bulbs

* Completed December 18, 2009

* ''Synopsis'': A parody based on ''Ocarina of Time''. Link is [[Too Dumb to Live]], Navi [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|breaks the fourth wall]] on a regular basis, and all of the bosses do [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]] when they're defeated. Oh, and Ganondorf has a weird obsession with laundry. Basically, a good fic to read for laughs, and not for [[So Bad It's Good|the normal reason you laugh at fanfics]]. Now has [[Group of Weirdos|its own page]].

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4555560/1/The_Legend_of_Eevee_Pokeflute_of_Time The Legend of Eevee: Pokéflute of Time]'' by that one little guy

* ''Synopsis'': Another humorous telling of ''Ocarina of Time'', this time with all characters replaced by [[Pokémon]]. Link is an oddly-colored Pichu (and later, Pikachu), his inventory is represented by Pokémon moves (many of which Pichu can't normally learn), the sages and Princess Zelda are all members of the Eevee family, and Ganondorf is Mewtwo. Also...HotterAndSexier? Huh?

** Seconded by [[Drake Clawfang]]. Fic is absolutely hilarious, Pichu is the [[Butt Monkey]] of the universe and everyone in it, and there is such [[Medium Awareness]] the characters are constantly lampshading the fact they're Pokemon in a retelling of a Zelda plot. Also has a sequel based on ''Majora's Mask'', [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7056005/1/The_Legend_of_Eevee_Majerkasss_Mask Majerkass's Mask].

''[http://m.fanfiction.net/s/1627352/1 On Being Young]'' by Guardian1

* ''Synopsis'': "She is the fierce pirate captain, and he is her purehearted maiden... Or so Tetra would like to think." Another wonderful oneshot by Guardian1, this time set in the [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]] universe. This is very, very mildly Link/Tetra, and it's short, sweet, cute, so vivid, and very in-character. Also extremely addictive.

 

 

''[http://www.northcastle.co.uk/guild/fanfic/impa.html Impa's Story]'' by Ted Anderson

* ''Synopsis'': The story of Impa's life, from the [[Doomed Hometown|loss of all she'd ever known]] and her subsequent meeting with the goddesses, up to ''Ocarina of Time''.

 

 

* ''Synopsis'': Let's have Lupi Loop's Official Summary do the talking: ''The Legend of an unstable Link, a long-suffering Zelda and a special Ganondorf who loves Seeing Stones and baths with his Rubber Ducks, as they go head-to-head with a fallen goddess for the power to make dreams reality. mayhem & zelink.''

* ''Synopsis'': The Author and a rather comprehensive cast of Ocarina of Time Characters spend a lot of time doing moronic things, then go on a [[Reality TV|reality TV show]] involving them being stuck on a tropical island together, and finally participate in a murder mystery party in classic Whodunit style.

Link roams the lands, having rejected a knighthood, Midna rules the Twili, forever separated from Hyrule, and Zelda rules the kingdom, once again the untouchable princess.

[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5544226/1/ The Legend of Link: Heroes of Time] by Gargravarr

* ''Pairing'': Link/Midna

* ''Synopsis'': Continuation of Twilight Princess. After Midna destroys the Mirror, Link suffers a breakdown and loses himself. Seeking answers to his life, he may have a chance to set right what once went wrong...

 

[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3345067/1/Bartending_101 Bartending 101], by khaki knight

* ''Pairing'': Link/Midna, implied one-sided Link/Iila

* ''Synopsis'': "A bartender is only ever as content as her customers..." In the aftermath of Twilight, Telma receives an unexpected guest in need of some guidance.

 

[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1516118/1/The_Reign_Of_Ganon The Reign of Ganon], by The Gemini Sage

* ''Pairing'': Link/Zelda, but surprisingly builds over time.

* ''Synopsis'': "Ocarina of Time adaptation that either butchers or embellishes the canon, depending on how you like your fanfic. Warnings include swearing, cheese, [[OCs]], and some violence." A retelling of the classic game that reinvisions the entire series in a darker light, and has a sequel that weaves the narrative of Majora's Mask into a spell binding tale. The author also has expanded universe featuring original characters and expanded histories of the world of Hyrule.

 

[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3172722/1/Sarias_Wish Saria's Wish], by Dannondorf

* ''Pairing'': Link/Saria

* ''Synopsis'': "Link/Saria. Link is pushing himself too hard, but he won't tell anyone why. The sages are concerned…enough to make a reluctant Saria spy on his thoughts and find out. Will she ever get him to open up about the horrors of his past? And just what is he training for, anyway?"

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5537631/1/Rekindling_Their_Bonds Rekindling Their Bonds],'' by Viper Inferno

* ''Pairing'': Link/Saria

* ''Synopsis'': "A Link/Saria pairing. The story takes place mainly after the events of Majora's Mask, with Link returning home after finding Navi. He and Saria soon develop feelings for each other, with their respective fairies helping them through it all. This leads to several moments - some funny, some sad, and some heartwarming."

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4014594/1/ Legend]'' by Pam t3h Spam

* ''Pairing'': Link/Zelda

* ''Synopsis'': "Reincarnation, repetition, redemption: generation after generation, century after century, the princess is always the same." Zelda-centric. Oneshot. Mostly introspection. Zelda reminisces about her suffering caused by the countless cycles of her reincarnation, because she is unable to forget... Very angsty, but poignant, thoughtful, bittersweet and beautifully written. Interesting also if you know your timeline theories and games.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4898535/1/Only_in_High_School Only in High School]'' by No Pain No Gain

* ''Pairing'': Zelda/Link

* ''Synopsis'': One awesome school, two crazy friends, one hot girl, one bully, one new kid, new classes, one week, a dangerous uncle, fun outings and one weird principal all add up to one huge disaster of a school week. Holy crap,I won't survive. Modern Hyrule,AU,[[Ze Link]]. Despite the fact that it is a high school AU, it is very well done, and I would go so far as to say it is the best Zelda High School AU there is.
