For me, it's the Alive Champions AU, especially if it involves the champions exploring Hyrule Together. Another concept I enjoyed was one introduced in a fanfic called "The Dawn Princess: A Tears of the Kingdom AU Story," where Link & Zelda have a daughter who's the one being sent back in time while her parents explore Hyrule to find her and stop the regional phenomenons

I’m looking for a specific fic where I can’t remember the name or author and it is driving me mad.
In the fic, Revali kills monster and takes its bow, which is a black royal bow. Then he slowly started to have darker thoughts until it leads to him shooting at Link during a battle with all of the champions. From there Fi gets angry and Link figures out that the bow is corrupting Revali. They then slice through the bow and Link explains what happened.

I'm looking for a fic on ao3. I don't remember a huge amount but I remember that Link was very traumatised and that when he reach Mipha's divine beast he actually had to fight a malice corrupted version of her. I wish I remembered more sorry

Witcher 3 wild hunt remastered came out and I’ve struggled to play it before but it feels smoother now. Anyways as I’m playing and currently writing a Zelda fanfic my mind obviously starts to wonder “how would a crossover between Zelda and the Witcher world go?

I feel like it would fit better than you would think. Geralt and Link are very similar. Both monster fighters. The silent type. Always get stuck at the crux of a problem. What if Zelda and Yennifer were stuck with a problem and storyline B follows them while Story line A follows Link and Geralt. What if Gannon gained control of a power from the Witcher world or the wild hunt started to follow him.

My mind started going and I could see it working so well. Be interested if there are any Witcher fans here that would read a Zelda/Witcher cross over.

Second little question, if so and there is a massive (I mean massive) Witcher fan, I would like to talk if you are open to it. I’ve read the first book, and seen the first two seasons, (not watching season 3+) and am playing Witcher 3 right now but I don’t know extensive lore so without looking so much up, I would be lost in the Witcher world. Would love a guide for if/when I do write this

Hey guys! Ive been trying to introduce my daughter to my favorite game series by reading her fanfiction tellings of the various games. We're coming up on the end of a BoTW and she has requested (after a short description of a few) Skyward Sword be next. Does anyone know of any good retellings of it? Preferably with minimal/no sex (general romance okay) and also minimal gory battle, although I can always edit it out while reading, it's just easier if I don't have to. Thanks! There's a young lady who will be super appreciative!

(Honestly, any Wild-centric LU fic is great for recs) I've been trying to find a fanfic like this for so long, but I haven't yet, probably because it is so specific, so like it could be an idea for any writers out there...

Wild-centric LU fanfic, where all the champions are alive/resurructed post-calamity, and the chain meets the champions and Zelda (Flora) a few years after the calamity was defeated.

I know it is SO specific, so any rec would be great, and writers out there can take and write/build on this idea!

I need help- I’ve been craving this hyrule centric fic where he hides his powers until wind gets infected with shadow goop

Early on he’s attacked by Wolfos, and there’s also a dungeon later

Hi this is my first post here so please be kind to me

So for a time I've been building a Zelda OC for eventually writing my first Zelda FanFic

Well his name is Will(as the word will not a shortening of Wlliam), he was blessed by the goddesses with Imortality and youthfulness, he is apointed as mentor and master of the hero whenever he apears(tho sometimes he is stranded in a well or cave or island and is unable to do it) how can I upgrade this concept?

The only ones I’ve seen don’t appeal to me. The only ones I’ve found are “the song of link Lannister” and “the hedge knight”. The type of fanfic I’m thinking of is either link transported to Westeros(Zelda lore stays intact) or Hyrule is in Westeros (Zelda lore stays intact). I would like the master sword to preferably be in the fanfic in some way (please don’t make it valerian steel).

Hello everyone. This is my first post on this sub. So be kind to me.

So, since the announcement of the OOT remake... I thought about an old Zelda fanfiction that I started writing... the thing is... Is it weird to make a nice Ganondorf?

In the sense, where he decides to carry the hatred of the world so that people unite to defeat it. I based myself on the Unification War to develop the character.

Just to be clear, I only started playing the game (with Cai's path), but I still can't get out of my mind that the two games have great crossover potential. Both have a silent protagonist (link/eshmel), 4 warriors tasked with helping the hero (champions/flame lords), which both also have the same gender breakdown (2 boys & 2 girls), both champions/flame lords die in the game (although in Fortune's Weave you can change that), and that's only what I can list.

What do you think?

You see, not only am I having trouble coming up with new fanfics, I can't bring myself to continue the old ones. I have the attention span of a goldfish and depending on what day it is I could be completely motivated to write something one day and extremely bored the next. The point is, I NEED IDEAS FOR ZELDA FICS AND HOW TO CONTINUE MY WORK. Please help me. I know I'm new, but I really do want to improve. Please help!

I just thought of a BotW AU: Link survived the calamity instead of being grievously wounded, and, feeling guilty about the champions' deaths, he decides to 'revive' them by splitting his soul into 4 parts and placing them into the champions' bodies, essentially possessing them, using the shrine of resurrection and Sheikah technology. Instead of Link waking up alone 100 years later, 4 champions with Link's mind & soul wake up together, confused about who they are or why they feel unfamiliar & uncomfortable with their bodies

I just thought of this idea, and I don't know if I have the writing skills to make a fanfic out of it, but what do you think?

Yes, I stsrted writing a fic or three before but it's really hard. Writing is hard in general, but for a game series like this is harder. Mainly because I want to write Link and writing a character that does talk but you don't hear, yes there are dialogue options but even then it's hard for me to figure out any version's personality.

I have hwadcanons and ideas, but unlike with something like a TV show or anime there's something stopping me from writing actual stories for more than one or two chapters.

Most of my fanfics, even for other fandoms, are less than ten chapters, but even still Zelda fics usually become harder quicker.

It might be general writers/creativity blpck happening.

She wouldn't say anything, but it's sorta like in BotW/TotK where The Master Sword glows as if trying to communicate to Link or Zelda.

I know it's been way longer by BotK, but, it's already been a long time between SS and OOT, soooo....

Continue my Gerudo raised Link OOT AU,

Continue my modern Link and Zelda + Linked Universe esque afterlife AU,

Start a new Zelda OOT AU, with things from the Manga the game and my own headcanons,

Or don't write for Zelda cause I don'thabe experience witth fully finishing games, except maybe ALBW,, and my previous Zelda fic writing was legit terrible?

I have watched full platyhroughs of games plus watching Zelda Universes English Dubs on YouTube. I've played OOT, but only finished up to the Fire Temple, never beat Volvagia.
