Summary
It has been a year since Calamity Ganon was defeated. The champions are at peace and watching over their races proudly. Unfortunately, Sidon is appointed to make lead decisions after a horrible injury ailed King Dorephan. The Yiga Clan, who had prevailed even after the defeat of Calamity Ganon, waited for their time to strike the Queen Zelda's most valuable friends and destroy their Domain. In their heist, they managed to ruin not only the statue of Mipha, but even broke the bridge and attacked the King in his slumber, which left him quite injured. Prince Sidon was distraught over his father's health and the monument of his dear sister in shambles, leaving him rather vulnerable and disheartened.
At the onset of the story, Zelda is on a mission to appoint new champions in case of emergency, but they quickly discover that the Yiga Clan aren't going to give up.

Summary
Link had met many people and seen even more on his travels through Hyrule after his hundred year slumber. Saving the princess, culling Calamity Ganon, working to rebuild the kingdom to its former glory. It was all part of the job he'd been reminded of that fateful day. But, even with all the recognition and new responsibilities, his heart wasn't in it. He wanted to be free, to find what was lost in his mind those hundred odd years ago that kept him in limbo. To find what held him back from loving the world as it is now, to find the courage to keep fighting for its future. Will an unexpected meeting with an emerald haired botanist finally change his tune and give him the will to take on Ganon once more?

Breath of the Wild by Wild_Serpent

Summary
Everything flooded his senses at once. It was all so big, so bright. There was so much to see. He was lost and confused, but the wild reached out to him. It caressed his face with its breeze, chilling his wet hair, rustling his clothes against sensitive skin. It brushed at his knees with its dewy green grass. It greeted him in the chirping languages of birds and insects. It was all so overwhelming to his newly awakened senses. But it was beautiful. He breathed it all in--the sights, the sounds, the crisp morning air. He was part of this world, part of the wilderness, whether he remembered it or not.
After waking from a deep sleep with plenty of scars but no memories to accompany them, Link sets out to uncover his broken past and save the fallen kingdom of Hyrule, making friends along the way.

Summary
It began with the forging of the Triforce. Its intent was to unite all races of Hyrule, with the coalition of courage, power, and wisdom. But flimsy allyships cracked and war broke out. After years of fighting, the great leaders of the world agreed to split the triforce into pieces, molding them into rings. Three were given to the Zora, blessed with long life, the wise beings of the water. Two to the Rito, the winged relatives to the Zora, the stalwart guardians of the sky. Three to the Gorons, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. Three were given to the Gerudo, the mighty warriors of the desert. And two to the Sheikah, the gifted shadow folk. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another piece was made to complete the Triforce. Deep in the land of Eldin, in the fires of Death Mountain, the Dark Lord Ganondorf forged his own ring of the Triforce, and into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.
One ring to rule them all. -

{Major spoilers for TOTK in summary and work}
Hyrule Compendium:
Entry 202
Species Name: Zelda
Common Locations: Greater Hyrule
Recoverable Materials: Unknown
Description: This is the draconic form that Queen Zelda of Hyrule took on during the Upheaval. Though it resembles other spirit dragons, it is the queen in body and soul. Even through this incredible sacrifice, her whole natural form, she continued to serve as Hyrule's leader and did everything she could to fight back the Demon King, acting as a symbol of perseverance and selflessness for every Hylian.
(Or, a partial solution to draconification leaves Zelda in command of the new form she was compelled to take in the age of founding.) -

Summary
“Link… if I may ask.” Her voice sounded hollow. She hesitated and he looked up at her again. “Do you really remember me?”
She had to know. Was she simply a damsel in distress to him? After all they had been through?
No. There was a sharpness to his eyes. This was not the dull face of a knight come to save the princess out of duty to his kingdom. That man would know better than to hold his head up, eyes burning into hers. That man would kneel before her and not truly see her…
Link nodded.
He remembered her.
Link and Zelda have witnessed the end of the world as they knew it, and must now carve out a new existence in a Hyrule that has moved on without them. Despite the castle in ruins, the rigid structures imposed on them since birth linger. Are they truly free to make their own choices now? To follow their hearts, in place of destiny?

Summary
It’s been 50 years after the upheaval, and defeat of Ganondorf. Hyrule is changing, both technologically and socially at the turn of the century. Even going as far as to de-extinct the Kokiri. That being said, both the calamity and Upheaval left many of the denominations of Hyrule strained… independence sentiments started to brew, many felt that their nations should not answer to Hyrule anymore... civil war was slowly ticking. It would all come to a front, when Lady Makeela Riju of the Gerudo, would pass away under suspicious circumstances at age 68. Leaving her extremist daughter, Nebora, to take the throne, and crown herself; Vaiführen (woman leader) of Gerudo Valley. This is a consequential timeline in chronological order leading up to this point.

Summary
A hundred years ago, a plan was set in motion to defeat the Calamity. It told of a brave young man who bore the soul of the hero and wielded the Sword that Seals the Darkness, a princess with the blood of the Goddess flowing through her veins, and a mighty demon king whose hatred cursed the land. These three were destined to clash in a long-foretold battle. Yet, unbeknownst to them, another would intervene—and her fate would become forever entwined with theirs, binding her soul to the same eternal curse that the three bearers of the Triforce were doomed to endure.

Summary
It's been seven years since Link and Zelda finally took out the Calamity. Seven years since Link was given an ominous note from her future self. Seven years since she'd learned that she would need to train and prepare for whatever may be looming ahead.
And it just took less than seven minutes for a walking corpse to destroy everything Link and Zelda had spent those seven years building up.
Zelda is missing, Fi might be dead, the regions are in chaos, and the universe decided that Link apparently owed it her damn arm. She's furious, she's terrified, but mostly? She's Done.
Run, Ganondorf. Because when Link finds you, she's going to make sure you beg for death.

Summary
Zelda had everything in life she’d wished for since she was a little girl.
If it was a hot sports boyfriend, a pink car or a sense of making everything hopelessly romantic, she had it.
Link, on the other hand, was living a wholly different life. The farm where he lived with his grandma, his little sister Aryll and his two cats Navi and Beedle, had belonged to his parents before they died. Money is running out, and if something doesn’t happen soon, their entire life will change.
He’s been observing Zelda Daphnes for a while now. She’s constantly on his mind, while the girl has never even acknowledged his existence before.
Or at least, that’s what he thought.

Summary
As foretold, the Calamity returned to lay waste to Hyrule. Hylia's chosen Hero never appeared. It was only the emergence of Zelda's shockingly powerful time magic that saved the kingdom from complete destruction, but only by delaying it.
A century later, Link -- a member of the Yiga Clan -- is determined to befriend Zelda and the Champions. To get close to the enemy and learn their secrets for the good of the Clan.
Mostly, he's just trying to prove himself and avoid getting reassigned to a job he hates, but things get much more complicated than he expected. -

Summary
(Ouroboros AU, where Zelda survived the Great Calamity)
The last Zelda saw of Rook was him falling into darkness, vanishing within the golden light of the strange stone he picked up. Next thing, Zelda was waking up on an island above the Cloud Barrier with a decayed Master Sword, an unknown voice guiding her and separated from Rook, she learns, by fifty thousand years.
Zelda has to navigate the challenges that come with being the Hero as she embarks on a journey across Hyrule, trying to figure out Rook’s contingencies as she seeks out the new Sages to confront the malevolent forces of a resurrected Demise.
Meanwhile, stuck in the distant past, Rook finds himself eventually embroiled in the very war the murals beneath the castle had depicted.
