Summary
Link and Zelda died. Two strangers woke up 100 years later. Together they explore the world they technically saved.
The girl takes in her opposite inside the pool. He stands a little shorter than her, long sandy-blond hair that stretches down to his waist, muscles that have atrophied from lack of use. Square jaw, handsome face, thick blonde eyebrows, old scars littering his features.
Why do the eyes bother her?
Oh.
It is not that the eyes are interesting. Nor are they special. It’s that they are wrong. He is supposed to have blue eyes.
Flickers of recognition hit those sea-green eyes at the same time as a name rings in her mind like a bell.
“Link” she breathes.
“Zelda” he whispers

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.

I’m No Man, I’m What’s Left When Children Go To War by Dapperenby137

Summary
Link is three years old when he kills his first monster, he’s fifteen when he becomes Princess Zelda’s knight, he’s seventeen when he dies. This is the tale of the in between times. A story of loneliness, grief, tragedy, and friendship, told through the eyes of a terrified hero.
Or
I thought too much about what might’ve been going on pre calamity and accidentally wrote a short novel instead of a oneshot. Expect angst, sadness, and some cute friendship moments that might end up making the ending we all know even sadder.

Summary
Just as a warning, this may eventually accidentally end up including some spoilers for other fics to come for this series. Both this work and others to follow will be added to the collection I've made for it as soon as the rename goes through
What it says on the tin: a collection of headcanons about characters and their environments that are important to my AU. These are all sorted by topic, so anything related to languages will be in one "chapter", Link's gender stuff will bein another chapter, &c. and whenever I develop a new headcanon, it will be added to the appropriate section by topicIf you have any questions for me, feel free to ask me them over on Tumblr! (just ignore the rest of the stuff on there lmao) https://www.tumblr.com/emberslimehunts/755176649868410880/i-made-a-legend-of-zelda-au-because-i-decided?source=share

Or, a story in which Link and Zelda knew each other from the very, very beginning.

Summary
“I was thinking about what you said.”
“Hm?” He paused, mouth full of pulled pork. Zelda wasn't looking at him.
“About what I'd say if I ever met my past self. I know I said I wasn't sure, but I – I thought about it a lot, you know, when I was in the past. I – I often had the thought that maybe, if I figured out a way to go forward in time again, I could... make a stop by our past. You know.”
He swallowed the pork. “Change it.”

After two apocalypses, Hyrule is settling into a new norm. Its people, brave and defiant, have survived it all. But of them, very, very few remember the way it used to be.
Link isn't one of them. He doesn't want to go back. He loves Hyrule as it is now, broken cloud barrier and all. Besides, they've already learned their lesson. Time travel does not change the past, regardless of the strange dreams of the neo-champions. He doesn't even know enough to decide if it was a world he liked.
Then, he recalls.
And he's always been one to fight losing battles.

Summary
They call him simply the 'Master Swordsman', because he has given no name. A lone wanderer, all in green, with strange hair and a strangely hilted sword, he drifts from town to town, appearing from the woods and vanishing into the morning mist.

He's not in Hyrule, he's sure of that. The singing in his ears is silent, not a whisper of the usual songs of Hyrule. It's odd, to miss something he didn't even know he had. It leaves him feeling... lonely. Aimless, directionless.So he is sent off to seek his dreams from the prestigious Cang Qiong Mountain Sect. With the gleaming promise of swords and songs among the clouds, it sounds almost like a dream.
But first, he has to get there.

Summary
It’s a peaceful night when Sky realizes something:
“Hey guys? Did we ever establish what our genders or pronouns were? I can’t remember doing so and yet…”
“…Somehow it feels like you always know what pronouns to use, even if they sometimes change?” Twilight finished for him.
This innocuous question leads to a group discussion on gender, and eventually a tiny winged reveal from a certain traveler. -
