Urbosa was many things, but even she could not halt the sands of fate. When a dying Hylian mother entrusts her infant son to her, begging on her last breath to raise him as her own, her Gerudo pride could not possibly deny her final request. Link, despite being a male, would be raised Gerudo. And Urbosa would make sure her son would be the strongest warrior of them all.

(We hit Linked Universe eventually, but the first bit is definitely just BotW.)

The Legend of Zelda: Rise of a Fallen Hero by ZeldaFan00003
62 parts Complete Mature
This is basically a beta of my newest work, the Saviors of Hyrule, so you can read that on my Ao3 if you want better quality, storytelling, and less grammatical errors. Last time, the Hero lost. The Hylian Champion, chosen to destroy evil, slain, and a kingdom fallen in darkness' wake. Not two decades later, a young man with strange origins finds his path uncertain, as he learns he is a reincarnation of that same hero. Now, he must be the real hero among all those who have fallen. Set in a version of Hyrule combining all elements from several mainline games. (Several characters and concepts belong to Nintendo). Also available on Ao3

As she moves ahead, she discovers that there is more to her mother's death than she realised. But as she digs deeper into her family's history, she uncovers a hidden power inside of her that could be the key to saving Hyrule... or destroying it. But as she struggles to keep her destructive ability under control, her cousin and life long best friend, Pamella gains an ability too. An ability opposite to her's. How can they stay as close as they are when their magic forces them apart? This story is 20 of 11.1K Link stories which is pretty cool :) also it keeps going from 1 to 2 & back again in Totk stories

You are the Hylian champion, chosen to be so a century ago. Waking up in the Shrine of Resurrection is a shock, but having no memories to go along with that isn't helping.

And some of these friends you make will do more than just guide you along your journey... much more. TL;DR: There is no Link lol. You a r e Link. But, y'know, a girl.

The Battered Princess by Sunset-Peril
5 parts Complete
It had happened faster than he could fight back. The Imperial Knight of Hyrule, sworn as Princess Zelda's sole protector, had failed to save her. Now he was on the run. ----- Link Imperial, the teenage son of the Wolf Hero's Imperially-managed descendants who are somehow both man and wolf, was now hiding from the kingdom he was destined to save. All because of the missing power of Princess Zelda the Hylia-Knows-What-Number. While doing what seemed to be the simplest of his required duties, he'd stumbled upon a dark secret of a broken family. And by Hylia and the Golden Goddesses above, he was going to fight that secret and win; whether that meant continuing to hide it, or scream it to the world. It was high time that the atrocities that occurred behind Triforce covered tapestries came to Hylia's golden light. No matter the personal cost.
