Summary
They had been racing against the sun to make their way to the Spring of Wisdom before it set. Despite the warm weather, Mount Lanaryu was still a mountain and the air was bitterly cold on the summit. They had to hurry and set up camp before the sun set properly, otherwise they would have to try and set up their camp in the dark.
She remembered reaching the summit just before the last rays of sun faded. Her horse’s hooves thudded against the ground as she drew to a stop besides Link, who had already dismounted from his horse to offer her a hand down.
The next afternoon, Calamity Ganon hit. With it, Zelda’s world ended.

Or; They win the battle the first time around, but Link still dies.

Summary
"No," he says through gritted teeth, his sharp gaze hitting me again. "You've got nothing to say. Yesterday was a disgrace. A dishonor. And I'm only here now to make sure you don't defile his legacy."
When the Universe is collapsing on itself and the last Hero has been dead for over a decade, Queen Zelda is forced to rise from her long grief to set out on a mission to learn how to save her home — which is shaping up to be a challenge, after being deemed unworthy by the Master Sword.
On this journey through grief, motherhood, and hope, Zelda — alongside her long-estranged son, Lance — will learn more about the forces of Creation, the balance of the Universe, and how it all affects her not-so-ordinary existence.
Or...
Link's dead, Zelda's a negligent mother and the Golden Goddesses are bored again (or are they?).

Summary
— Não — ele responde entredentes, seu olhar duro me atacando novamente. — Você não tem nada para dizer. Ontem foi uma vergonha. Uma desonra. E eu só estou aqui agora para garantir que você não vai profanar o legado dele.
Quando o Universo está colapsando e o último Herói morreu há mais de uma década, a Rainha Zelda é forçada a emergir de seu longo luto para descobrir como salvar seu lar — o que rapidamente se mostra um desafio (especialmente depois de ser considerada indigna pela Master Sword).
Nessa jornada através do luto, da maternidade e da esperança, Zelda vai aprender mais sobre as forças da Criação, o equilíbrio do Universo e como tudo isso impacta sua existência nada comum.
Ou...
O Link bateu as botas, a Zelda é uma mãe negligente e as Deusas Douradas estão entediadas de novo (ou será que não?).

Summary
Hylia’s chosen knight has fallen, his body broken beyond hope of saving. The Divine Beasts were all corrupted by Calamity Ganon’s emergence, their Champions slain. All but one, that is. The one who was last to send out his distress signal, his body found in the Tabantha Frontier barely clinging to life.
Revali.
He was brought to the Shrine of Resurrection on Zelda’s orders- their last hope with all else fallen.
One hundred years have passed since then, and a young Rito has awoken on the Great Plateau with no memory of who he is or where he came from. All he knows is there’s a voice calling to him, pleading for help.
And a hero must answer, to save them all.
--
Or: Well, Revali, you always said you were more than capable of defeating Ganon yourself. Now it’s time to prove it.

Summary
100 years ago, the Calamity raged on. In another tale perhaps, those who died would have had a different story to tell. But... Just a few minutes can change who lives and dies. With Link dead from the beginning, the champions will have to be there to pick up the pieces
There's no Master Sword, no Hylian Shield. But, perhaps they can find a new ally to help along the way.
This is part of an AU I have where Link is one of those ghosts instead of the Champions. It connects with others in this series I have and it will reference it. It's mostly in the pov of the Champions, but sometimes Link will get a spotlight.
