Summary
The Calamity is over, and Hyrule is free. But while Link has had months to come to terms with the world he left behind, for Zelda it is only now beginning. As her body heals, she finds it is not just physical recovery she needs. Wracked with guilt that her powers woke too late to stop the calamity and haunted with dreams of Link dying in her arms, she must make peace with all she has lost, before she can find a way to move forward in the world she saved.
[Post-Calamity. Zelink. Healing, grief, and choosing the life you want.]

Summary
Link wakes up in the Shrine of Resurrection, guarded by a mysterious Sheikah who keeps more secrets than the number of memories he's lost.

Especially since Sheik had his breath, heart, and soul in the palm of his hand from the start.

Summary
Princess Zelda of Hyrule has two best friends: Link, her personal Knight, and Riju, the Chief of the Gerudo. After a Sheikah research mishap turns Link and Zelda into children and strands them in the Gerudo desert, they encounter a band of disguised Yiga. When they escape, Riju teams up with them to create a plan to deal with these strange Yiga and their undoubtedly sinister intentions. And what is that plan?
Shameless trolling until they finally break character, of course!
For their part, the Chain is just confused and concerned. It's not every day you arrive in a new Hyrule to find a very small Hero and Princess blowing up monsters with high-yield explosives, after all.

Summary
"He took a deep, measured breath.
The blow never came. The bokoblin grunted in apparent surprise. Dorian peeled his eyes open to see it still standing over him, a dumb expression on its face. His eyes and the bokoblin’s trailed downwards at the same time to see the dull blade sticking out of the creature's chest, dripping blood in rivulets down its torso."
or; Dorian is travelling when he has a close encounter with some monsters. Link saves him, and Dorian learns a few things about the painfully young hero.

The Light of Hyrule, Blighted by GrapieBee

Summary
The Hero is meant to be courageous, to show no fear in the face of hopelessness.
The Hero is meant to see things through, regardless of the personal cost.
The Hero is meant to be a helping hand, one that does not ask for anything in return.
By all accounts, Link was the Hero to a fault.
[Or, a story in which Link must deal with a terminal illness and those around him do their best to support him through it.]

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.

Blood Drops on Roses: Linked Universe by HotCheetoHatred

Summary
Never trust someone who asks for you by name.
That was a lesson Wild learned early.
He was actually known by a lot of names. He was the Hylian Champion to those on the roads, as well as those in Hateno and Lurelin. He was the Flame Vai to the Gerudo, a mighty clan of desert warriors. He was Little Guy to the Gorons on the aptly named Death Mountain. He was Wild to his closest friends, to those in Kakariko, and to his brother.
He was Link, his birth name, to the bounty hunters chasing his reward, and to the Yiga Clan that set it.
A classic “gang-meets-Wild” fic in which Wild joins the Chain whilst he and Twilight try to hide the kingdom’s worst-kept secret—Wild is also a hero. Also known as one of the longest "Refusal of the Call" 's of the hero's journey that has ever been put to paper.

Summary
And that’s what they are- children playing house, one hundred years of divinity trying their hand at domesticity. She can’t do it, can’t let him look at her the way he does, with everything in his expression so different from the Link before except that stupid undying loyalty.
Zelda cannot kill him again. Somewhere in her mind, the child’s blocks collapse, and she leaves in the night.
or,
At the end of everything, Zelda learns to move on.

The Sacred Promise by tdubois1982

Summary
This tale in the making is about the beginnings of Link and Zelda falling in love. It aspires to explore how their bonds deepen before and after the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and what the two would realistically be feeling about each other and themselves through it all.
It aspires to question how you know when you really do love someone else, and what that means, and what you want for another person when you love them.
In my mind this starts immediately after the ending of Breath of the Wild where Calamity Ganon is slain, and before its "True Ending" cutscene. It began with two simple questions.
The first: In a memory shown in Breath of the Wild, we know that Princess Zelda thought to leave a message for Link with the Great Deku Tree. It said to wait. What was she going to say?
The second: How would "Link's House" become "Zelda's House" after the ending of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
This all led to a big question more vital than any canon. If at some point the love of Link and Zelda were tested, what would that look like and how would that be overcome? My theory about loving another is the answer.
It's a lot. It's completely new for me. Here we go.

Summary
Link feels most like himself in the wild, with the wind in his hair, grass stains on his knees and a mysterious wolf by his side. He wakes up in the shrine of resurrection with nothing but destiny to his name, and the quest he has laid out before him will be a long and arduous one. How will he reconcile what he has to be with who he really is? With the weight of the world on his shoulders, and not nearly enough sleep in his system, that may be more difficult than he realizes.

But...what if she writes back?
