Summary
Zelda has unlocked her powers and the sword that seals the darkness has chosen its sacred warrior. The only setback is that Zelda cannot control her powers or summon them on command. After seven years of training around Hyrule, Zelda is pushed by King Rhoam to complete her training too soon. When the Calamity strikes, Zelda must overcome her low self-esteem and save Hyrule.
OR:
Another AOC/BOTW AU like Age of Calamity but Zelda has already unlocked her power, she just can't control it. And Rhoam is much more of an asshole than usual. Zelink endgame.

Summary
[Do you want to make shoes?]
“Maybe. I could! I would probably be good at it, too.” Her hands grip the bowl tightly as her face shifts towards a frown that has no business on her face. “I’d add those carved details and fancy laces and everything.”
He nods, certain that she would. [There are skills in shoemaking that take a while to master, but you would.]
“But would I be different, Link?”
Or: Zelda has an identity crisis. Link helps, sort of. There's a lot of tea involved.

Summary
"Link, we don't know the half of what you can do or why you can do it. Normally, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't like that. But, what intelligence we do have on you suggests you care about people. We have a potentially world-ending threat on our hands. Please, we can't fight Loki. He's out of our league. That's your specialty."
Or
This is book one of a retelling of the MCU with one major change: Link is reborn into the world to become a hero in a world quickly starting to fill with heroes. He must find a way to balance the events happening all around him (Loki, The Avengers, Ultron, even Thanos) with his personal mission: stop Ganon from destroying and remaking the world. New friendships form, old ones are rekindled, danger and darkness threatens the world from more angles than thought possible. And through it all, the question on everyone's mind: what makes someone a hero?

Summary
“You can call me Mama, if you want to. But only if you want to”
Zelda is only three when she loses her mother. Sonia and Rauru, their own children having left the nest, see this tiny blonde Hylian child and decide she is theirs. Zelda doesn't argue, because she rather liked Sonia and Rauru.
——————-
Essentially a teeny tiny Zelda goes back in time, gets parented properly, and is happy for a while. Urbosa misses her little bird though.
This turned out sadder than I expected it to be.

Summary
Something would graze her hand and when she would look down it would be the gloved hand of Link. Zelda assumed it was to comfort her, and shockingly it did. Link would never interlock their hands all the way, maybe it was best if he didn’t.

Summary
"I don't know where most of my scars are from," Zelda whispers. She had to force the words out, but she wanted to- no, needed to- share. "I have scars all over my body, and I don't know their origin. I don't know what he did to me or what he made me do. I don't want anyone staring at the consequences of my actions, when I don't even know what those actions were. The scars that you gave me are the only ones that I recognize- at least with those, I know that I didn't hurt anyone."

Summary
"What would you say to Princess Zelda, if you knew her?"
Link wipes a raindrop from her cheek. It's so warm.
"I'd tell her that people care, you know? I hope she's found a way to love herself whilst being lonely. She deserves happiness like how I feel it with you. …I hope she’s okay."
Zelda smiles, entwining their hands around the umbrella handle, "I think she's alright."
Hyrule Kingdom never sees their Princess. Prophecies of Calamity are reduced to myth. Old Castle Town is a host for the curious. At The Hasty Bean Café, a young man meets a pretty woman. Bashful smiles turn into loving glances whilst fate turns its eyes towards them. This is a tale about how Zelda and Link's meeting is never a coincidence after all.
An autumnal coffee shop AU blended with Zelda lore. For the spice.

She didn’t know much because she wasn’t able to think. She didn’t remember ever being able to think, or formulate words, because dragons couldn’t speak, nor did they ever need to.
