Grab Time's Arrow by the Fletching by KatherineOfArrogant

Summary
The Kokiri had a saying: “Time’s arrow never stopped or reversed, it only flew forward with deadly accuracy.” It was as fatalistic and rigid as everything else Kokiri, ironic considering the forest was supposed to be a place things grew. That was the folly of Fair Folk like the children of the forest, they were unchanging and uncompromising. They did not understand their mortal neighbors, nor did they want to.
Link liked a Hylian saying much better. Viscen, that stubborn old knight, had told him when he was 17 but not really with a wicked smirk: “When you think you’re powerless and some asshole’s got one over you- grab em’ by the balls, and twist.”
Or: An Ocarina of Time novelization.

Summary
The Demon King is gone for good, and Zelda had given up on the hope that she would ever return to Link.
And yet, even after being Draconified, he managed to save her.
Zelda cannot allow life to go back to 'business as usual'. She never expected to have this chance, and will not waste it.
When Link lets slip that part of her original plan to help him from the distant past went awry, she latches onto it and pulls Link along for the ride. In the end, Zelda gets much more than what she bargained for and finds herself trapped with Link in an unknown land filled with strange people and no clear way to get home.
Well, maybe while searching for a way home, and dealing with the problems of this strange Kingdom of Hallownest, they'll finally manage to get that quality time she had been hoping for.

Remnant needed a hero, and fate decided that Link would be perfect for the task. He was the Hero of Time who saved both Hyrule and Termina, and he was also sick of being tugged around by fate and made to play the hero.

Summary
Trying to kill the Hero isn't working well for Ganon. Even if Link falls, he comes back - reincarnated just in time to ultimately foil Ganon's plans. No matter how many times Link dies, the Hero's Spirit remains.
So perhaps, instead of trying to break Link's individual incarnations, he should try to break that.

Summary
"Lynel ahead," Revali reported. "Too close to the Spring's entrance for us to circle around it unnoticed. Daruk, Urbosa, come with me. Mipha, prepare your healing magic in case of emergency. Link…" Revali scanned him, as though he needed any time to decide whether he thought Link worthy of his position. "Stay out of our way."

Link vs. Link (but Link doesn’t wanna fight) by wtfmanhahaha (orphan_account)

Summary
“Daruk. Urbosa. Revali. Mipha.”
He says their names like a prayer spoken too late. Like the kind of prayer you say at a grave, not a battlefield. His hands fall to his sides. “I’m sorry. I never wanted to fight you. But I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here to save you. To make right what time and fate destroyed.”
His voice catches, falters, then carries on, soft as falling ash. “I failed you once. I won’t do it again.”

Summary
In their first pivotal meeting with Ganondorf, Rauru's arm catches Zelda instead of Link. When the depths form and chasms open, Link is thought to be dead. While he ought to be, Hylia and the magic of Hyrule has other plans.
Link wakes up stranded in the central depths with no weapons, no Purah Pad, no battery to power zonai devices, and no clue what's going on. Will he be able to contact the surface and survive the unforgiving lands of the depths? Can Zelda manage to communicate with the past while also keeping present day Hyrule safe?
They'll certainly try, but their road is an unmerciful one.

Summary
When Link had moved, it had been largely instinctual.
He didn't even realize what he was doing until Vah Ruta responded.
He looked around the control room, just to be certain there was no one else. Well, there was Mipha's spirit but she looked just as surprised as he did.
D- Did he do that?
Or: Link gets a lot more control over the divine beasts that he ever thought he would. Who thought this would be a good idea?

Summary
Purah decided to do annual checks on the Shrine of Resurrection to ensure it worked properly, and it was during Purah’s second annual check that she made a horrifying discovery. The shrine was becoming overtaken with malice just as the guardians had. In order to save Link, she forcibly shut the shrine down and pulled him out. She secretly brought his body back to her lab in Hateno and began to rebuild him herself only informing Robbie. Out of respect for Link Purah tried to keep as much as his original body as she could. Link’s very sister, Lyne, even came all the way from Gerudo Town once she eventually caught wind of what Purah was doing and began to help rebuild her brother. She also helped keep Purah’s mad scientist tendencies at bay. Robbie would also visit to offer insights or help improve Link before returning to his lab in Akkala to resume his guardian research, and Purah’s study on the anti-aging rune progressed far faster due to extensive research in order to maintain a youthful body to be able to keep working on Link. She only shared this technology with her assistant and now close friend Lyne. It took 98 and a half years of effort from Purah and Lyne to rebuild Link, but now he could finally be woken up.

Summary
Breath of the Wild, but Mipha was put in the Shrine of Resurrection with Link. 100 years later, they both must save Hyrule from the calamity.
This idea came to me after I wondered how Mipha would react to Link wearing the Vai outfit.

Summary
Everyone who met the Hero could say that they remember it precisely. Revali was no different.
Hylia's Chosen was rarely seen by anyone other than priests. According to rumors, he lived tucked away in the Temple of Time, guarded only by the Kingdom's best. Those who have been able to catch a glimpse of him say that he is robed in green, and that his face is always covered by a veil. No one really knows what he looks like.
The Hero is regarded as somewhat of a deity among many, especially Hylians. The legends surrounding him ran deep and far back. The few Hylian villages that Revali had been to had left out offerings in clay pots. For the Hero, they'd told him, A tradition that's said to aid Him in His quests, may Hylia watch over Him.
If the rumors were to be believed, the Hero is reborn again and again whenever he was needed, with a piece of the Triforce tied to his soul. Supposedly, he was the only one with the power to defeat Calamity Ganon.
Revali thought it was a load of bullshit.
OR:
A Revalink AU in which Link is a deity figure and there’s absolutely nothing fishy about it!
