={{Color|red|Original Fan Games}}=
The Thunderbird, a horrible guardian encountered by Link in the Great Palace of Zelda 2, has somehow survived and is out for revenge. Having lost the Triforce of Courage at the hands of its adversary, it has stolen the Triforce of Power and flown to the vast neighbor of Hyrule, the Outlands. In a world similar to yet completely different from Zelda 1, Link must track down the captured Tetrarch Fairies and, with their help, break open Ganon's secret golden vault where the creature now resides.
==Zelda Classic (ZQuest Classic)==
{{main|Zelda Classic}}
Link will face dangers and traps unlike anything Ganon had ever devised. His adventure will span 18 new dungeons hidden within a completely unfamiliar terrain. Zelda herself will make appearances to help the hero, providing items and sage advice crucial to the new journey. Link has become very skilled in his familiar world of Hyrule, but skill alone is his only advantage -- the land of the Outlands is a beautiful yet deadly world bearing no resemblance to his own cherished kingdom.

Shin Zelda Densetsu is a complete hack of The Legend of Zelda. In a novel twist, the player must guide Princess Zelda on a quest to rescue Link from the forces of evil.
 
The overworld is completely revamped, with few if any recognizable landmarks or routes from the original game. It is superbly designed, and won't bore the player.
 
The same goes for the dungeons. Instead of numbered levels, the dungeons are identified by symbols of the zodiac, another interesting twist.
 
This hack was made by one Lord Steak years ago. I'm not one hundred percent sure of the exact date. It's a very well-made hack, and would have made a worthy sequel to the original game if it had been done back in the day.
 
The original version of the hack was perfect except for one game-breaking bug – it was impossible to finish Level 3 in the first quest. That's been fixed, so the player can now complete the hack in its entirety.

====Plot====
You are a treasure hunter from another land. You moved here with your friend, in order to find treasure of course!
 
A lot of things started to happen not long after you moved here.
 
Seven people has "appeared out of nowhere" and begins questioning about the Parallel Tower and the inhabitants of Kakariko Village. The Parallel Tower was situated in the Sky Islands northeast of the village. The legend behind the Parallel Tower was long lost, and only the elders knew the legend.
 
Word begins to spread out about the Parallel Tower, and people started to learn about the legend again. The legend says it was a by product of a war long ago and a power, known as the Triforce, existed at the top of it. It is said that nobody knows about the clues as to how to get to the top of the Tower. The seven people are said to know about these "clues" to the Tower.
 
The king was notified of these seven people and he invited them to the castle to find out what they wanted with the tower. Just the night before the seven people are to have an audience with the king, the king's assistant, Draegor, eliminates the king and claims the throne by default.
 
The seven people walked right into an obvious trap. Draegor, who people believe is a power hungry person, caught all 7 people and forces them to tell him what they know about the Tower.
 
When the people learn of the king's fate, a rebel force is gathered in secret to plot against Draegor. The rebel force learns that 2 out of 7 people who Draegor caught are still alive and imprisoned in the guardhouse. They quickly rallied anyone who may be interested in the Tower and the locals to help these last 2 people.
 
You and your friend heard about this plan and are willing help the rebels against Draegor.
 
The night of the operation begins the story...

{{Fan Game
| title    = The Legend of Zelda: Voyager of Time
| boxart    = [[File:VoTforZD.jpg]]
| release  = May 1, 2013
| platform  = Nintendo 64
| developer = giadrosich
}}
 
====About====
Voyager of Time takes place after Majora's Mask, but it is not a direct sequel. Link has come back to the Kokiri Forest to try​ and find peace after his last adventure. It is implied that he has had a third adventure in Termina, but with the fairy Tael instead of Tatl. The younger brother of the feisty Tatl is a bit more subdued, but also more brave than what we've seen in Majora's Mask. He can hold his own and he and Link have grown to be great friends.
 
 
The game starts out with Link having nightmares of his past adventures. The Deku Tree Sprout, descendant of the Great Deku Tree, has summoned Link because he has sensed great evil growing lately. Link is sent on a quest to help out with the growing problems in Hyrule.
 
 
 
Along the way, you find that the Door of Time has been broken again by the evil villain, Ganondorf, and you must find a way to stop his rampage once more. There are some twists and turns along the way, as Link's items are spread out in an unfamiliar way. Link also has to face some major problems that hit a little too close to home.
 
 
 
The game features heavy time travel as well as side stories that highlight the problems with time traveling in general. Many places are transformed over the period of seven years that Ganondorf was in rule, and Link has to deal with the problems​ of his closest friends. On top of that, there may be another problem Link and his friends don't realize until it's too late...
 
 
The overworld is changed quite a lot from the original Ocarina of Time. There is an attempt to make each village and section of the map seem more lively and have more character than ever before. NPCs are useful to talk to, and they give hints to the world around you. There are small stories they tell you of history, and even new side quests you can accept.
 
 
 
The biggest change is the difference between the child and adult sections. The child sections are meant to feel more innocent and alive, and the adult sections are meant to showcase the utter destruction of Ganondorf. This is not to be intentionally dark, but just to show a realistic change that would happen over seven years.

{{quote|The Legend of Zelda XD2: Mercuris Chess is the sequel of the first XD parodic game, and was also released on April 1st, in 2017 this time. As a direct sequel, the overworld is expanded, the story is extended and the funny tone is kept, if not bettered!
 
The game was made in 10 weeks (!), beginning with an a discussion about how people always mispronounce Mercuris Chest (note the T at the end). Diarandor suggested that a game could be named Mercuris Chess to make fun of the title, and the same day it was decided that it would be the next big April’s fools joke.


It details the journey of Link as he befriends a group of other characters tied up into a series of tragic events that threaten the Kingdom of Hyrule. The game has become very popular in gaming forums, and its most noteworthy features are the inclusion of multiple playable characters, a series of villains, and a Final Fantasy style battle system
The team worked really hard, and you can feel the improvements from the previous games. The game has 2 dungeons, and lots of side-quests and secrets everywhere, and also feature silly NPCs around the overworld. Be sure to speak to every one to not miss a joke!|Solarus Team}}

A fever dream remnant of early 2000s Clickteam game development. The Quest Arrives by Artificial Reality is an on-the-rail interactive adventure with an ending so explosive that the Lost Woods is literally engulfed by a pixelated gorefest of fire and Kidd Pix 2 art.
 
Featuring an inconsistent art style, you won’t even recognize it as the game you started playing just ten minutes prior. Be amazed at the game’s showcase of the of the eras amateur Movie Maker video design. And do not think you are safe from bugs! Step into the unknown at your own peril as softlocking is possible if you try to deviate from the linear.

Also, the chances of getting a rare blue or red gem increases if you defeat more enemies and avoid getting hurt too frequently.

The cast includes ten main playable characters; Link, Zelda, Impa, a knight of Hyrule, a kokiri, a deku, a twilit, a gerudo, a zora and a goron alongside several guest characters. The game began production in later 2011 and finally came to completion in 2022 after 11 continuous years of development.

{{quote|This game is a procedurally-generated rogue-like ‘Link to the Past’ dungeon crawler. It’s not a rom hack, it was created in Gamemaker Studio from scratch using the original assets. Many new features and assets were added to this game, but special care was put in to ensure it still looks, feels, and plays like the original game.
The goal of the game is to descend through the many enemy-infested dungeons to defeat Link’s nemesis, Aghanim. Along the way you will find many weapons, items, and treasures that will help you along your quest.


Online Game where you play chess with the characters of Zelda.
This game is designed in the style of a Rogue-like dungeon crawler, which means:
*The dungeon layouts, items, and enemies are randomly generated every time you play.
*If you die, you will have to restart at the beginning. No continues or extra lives.

====Plot====
{{quote|This game was incredibly fun to make. I am a fan of the original NES game and love its innovations and clever game design. But as we all know, Zelda games are long and complex. When starting this project I had to choose very carefully what I had time to accomplish if this game was ever to see the light of day. As a result I decided to remake the beginning of the game up to the end of the first boss. This seemed simple enough, but I knew it would be a challenge. This is the result of my learning programming for the first time and a labor of love making this game in 3D.|Michael A Johnston}}
For a long time, Link lived happily in Kokiri Forest, protected by the great and wise Deku Tree. But the peace does not last long. Ganondorf has returned and destroyed the Great Deku Tree. Now only the three Feenperlen can stop Ganondorf. Find them and bring peace back to Hyrule.

* Two games in one. You can play the normal game, or the deluxe version with completely new and improved dungeons!
{{quote|After I first made this fan game, I did want to continue it. I modeled and animated the Goriya enemy and had layouts for the 2nd and 3rd palaces. However, after seeing how Nintendo DMCAs these types of projects I figured it wasn't worth it.|Michael A Johnston}}
* 10 dungeons.
* Lots of mini-games: Zelda Quiz, shell game, horse racing etc...
* Known music from different parts of Zelda.
* Din's Fire, Farore's Wind, and Nayru's hug can be used.

This article describes a subject that is or may be outside the core Zelda canon.

Some fans are inspired by The Legend of Zelda series; for tribute, they even make Fan Games based on this series. There are three types of Zelda fan games: original fan games, remakes, and hacks. All these games are for non-profit and made by a group of dedicated Zelda fans. All these games are also considered non-canonical. Here is a listing of some completed Zelda fan games!

Romhacks

Main article: Romhack

A romhack is a fan game which is built by hacking a backup of an existing official game (called a "rom" after the Read Only Memory which cartridges stored data on).

Zelda Classic is a tribute to The Legend of Zelda. Beginning as an exact replica of the original NES game, Zelda Classic allows the development of new quests that can use either the traditional graphics or enhanced graphics, as well as new enemies, items, and challenges. It was renamed to ZQuest Classic in July 2022 over trademark issues, although the ZeldaClassic.com domain still works as of April 2023.

Originally, it was released for DOS. As of 2023, versions are released for Windows 10+, MacOS and Linux.

The Legend of Zelda: Mystery of Solarus is an old creation of Zelda Solarus Team, made ​​with RPG Maker 2000 software. The development of the game lasted a year and a half. It was released on April 26, 2002, and has been downloaded over 600,000 times. This game is intended to be a logical extension of "A Link to the Past" on SNES.

An enhanced remake, The Legend of Zelda: Mystery of Solarus DX was unveiled on April 1st, 2008 and written in C++. Its objectives are to correct the many flaws of its predecessor: the battle system, the bosses, the use of items, etc. However, that is hardly all of it as new graphical elements and musics will accompany you throughout the game.

This Deluxe version will be the opportunity for you to relive the adventure in a brand new way, or even to discover it for the first time if you've never played it before! The full game was released in French on December 16th, 2011, and is now also available in English.

Current versions (1.12.3) are available as quests for the Solarus launcher program for Windows, macOS and Linux.

"The Legend of Zelda XD2: Mercuris Chess is the sequel of the first XD parodic game, and was also released on April 1st, in 2017 this time. As a direct sequel, the overworld is expanded, the story is extended and the funny tone is kept, if not bettered!

The game was made in 10 weeks (!), beginning with an a discussion about how people always mispronounce Mercuris Chest (note the T at the end). Diarandor suggested that a game could be named Mercuris Chess to make fun of the title, and the same day it was decided that it would be the next big April’s fools joke.

The team worked really hard, and you can feel the improvements from the previous games. The game has 2 dungeons, and lots of side-quests and secrets everywhere, and also feature silly NPCs around the overworld. Be sure to speak to every one to not miss a joke!"

This game contains 6 really difficult dungeons and a huge overworld. There are 30+ items including the hookshot, wrecking ball, statue control rod, shovel, lens of truth, and four remote-control summon monsters (including Navi!). There are secrets, treasures, NPCs (including Gorons, Zoras and Gerudo), mini games and side quests.

Plot

The game follows the epic story of Din, last daughter of the dying Goddess Tribe. Her tribe alone knows the truth of Hyrule's past, that Ganon, Zelda and Link are locked into an endless cycle of reincarnation, dooming Hyrule to continual recurring war. Din can break the cycle by finding and rejoining the three pieces of the broken triforce. Unfortunately, they are contained within the living bodies of Ganon, Zelda and Link, and the only way to get them out is to kill all three of them. Din must also find her two sisters, Nayru and Farore, who have gone out into Hyrule and never returned, for they hold the key to defeating the mysterious force that has kept the Goddesses from saving their world.

Dark Link is born from the negative energy accumulated Link. Create your possession a psychedelic dimension (where they change the culture, weather and other factors) and reverse Hyrule Link to lock it directing toward a single destination. Since it is a copy of Hyrule, the three Spiritual Stones live there, the same as open (next to the Master Sword) the Gate of Time Hyrule causing desynchronization of the chronology that could cause the return of Ganon in the past.

Plot

One night, while all of Hyrule slept, Zelda left the castle. She was headed for Ganon's old lair because she felt something was going on there. She knew Ganon was back again. BUT HOW?

Zelda used her telepathy to contact Link. "I fear Ganon is immortal!" she stammered. "I am going to try to fight him. Get the three mystical objects from three secret chambers. Then come to Ganon's lair! Hurry to the lake!" Who could have known it could have gone so wrong?

The Legend of Princess is a one-level 2D side-scrolling platformer inspired by Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series of games. Note that the game has only one playable level, although arcade veterans could technically replay the entire adventure at a higher difficulty setting by choosing a different set of starting equipment with each new try. Also, the chances of getting a rare blue or red gem increases if you defeat more enemies and avoid getting hurt too frequently.

The Legend of Zelda: Winds of Eternity, formerly The Legend of Zelda: RPG, is an RPG take on the traditional Zelda formula. Created using RPG Maker XP, players fight an assortment of traditional Zelda enemies using familiar weapons and abilities only in a turn based environment. The cast includes ten main playable characters; Link, Zelda, Impa, a knight of Hyrule, a kokiri, a deku, a twilit, a gerudo, a zora and a goron alongside several guest characters. The game began production in later 2011 and finally came to completion in 2022 after 11 continuous years of development.

Plot

The plot follows a standard Zelda set up of journeying through dungeons and searching for key items. However it uses the expanded nature of an RPG to utilize characters and plot lines from multiple games in the series including Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, the Oracle Games and The Wind Waker.

Features

  1. Ten playable characters.
  2. Almost 200 weapons from the Zelda series.
  3. 30-40 hours of gameplay
  4. Many side quests including a trading quest and a version of the Kafei and Anju quest from Majora's Mask.
  5. Several mini games including horse racing and Money Making Game.
  6. A massive, but easily traversable, overworld, carefully mapped to give a consistent sense of place and scale between areas.

"This game is a procedurally-generated rogue-like ‘Link to the Past’ dungeon crawler. It’s not a rom hack, it was created in Gamemaker Studio from scratch using the original assets. Many new features and assets were added to this game, but special care was put in to ensure it still looks, feels, and plays like the original game.

The goal of the game is to descend through the many enemy-infested dungeons to defeat Link’s nemesis, Aghanim. Along the way you will find many weapons, items, and treasures that will help you along your quest.

This game is designed in the style of a Rogue-like dungeon crawler, which means:

  • The dungeon layouts, items, and enemies are randomly generated every time you play.
  • If you die, you will have to restart at the beginning. No continues or extra lives.

I worked on this game full-time for over 4 years. This is by far my greatest achievement."

Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link 3D is a remake of the first section of The Adventure of Link, as a first-person shooter using UnityWebPlayer.

"This game was incredibly fun to make. I am a fan of the original NES game and love its innovations and clever game design. But as we all know, Zelda games are long and complex. When starting this project I had to choose very carefully what I had time to accomplish if this game was ever to see the light of day. As a result I decided to remake the beginning of the game up to the end of the first boss. This seemed simple enough, but I knew it would be a challenge. This is the result of my learning programming for the first time and a labor of love making this game in 3D."

— Michael A Johnston

In 2019, Johnston ported the existing part of the game to Unity WebGL to ensure it continued to be playable, but observed that:

"After I first made this fan game, I did want to continue it. I modeled and animated the Goriya enemy and had layouts for the 2nd and 3rd palaces. However, after seeing how Nintendo DMCAs these types of projects I figured it wasn't worth it."

Anonymous (later versions)

GameMaker remakes of the infamous Philips CD-i games by Seth "Dopply" Fulkerson, using the original assets - including backgrounds and the infamous cutscenes:

"I wanted to prove to myself that I could make a game. It started as a joke between friends, but then I wanted to see if I could actually pull it off. I’ve flirted with game making for a while but never finished something. This was my chance to do that (well, over the course of four years, I guess). Over time, remastered versions of these notorious titles was something I wanted for myself as well.

[...]

...they were remade from scratch, so movement, enemy spawns, and a litany of other things will be different (I’m sure someone will catalog all the differences eventually). However, they are based off of the originals and mimic them very closely...as mentioned, speed of movement, slight collision differences, and frequency and some locations of enemy spawns will be different. The game was tweaked and re-balanced around these changes for a more fun experience. I did my best to create what I think a modern release of these games would look and play like."

— Dopply from the FAQ

While the original Google Drive release of the games was removed shortly after release, the files were preserved on archive.org, and further patches made by persons unknown.

The same creator later made a "spiritual successor", Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore.

"In the 1990s Nintendo made a deal with Philips to develop 3 Zelda titles. The first 2 were side scrolling platformers, similar to Zelda II, and the third was a traditional top-down action adventure game.

Zelda’s Adventure looked interesting and I thought it would be fun to play on a portable system. I chose the Game Boy because of the existing Zelda games on the system.

The game sticks to the aesthetics of Link’s Awakening, but also incorporates some features from Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons.

This is a complete port of the CDi original and was developed in GB Studio, with a few modifications. Thanks to Beatscribe for composing the music. I hope you enjoy playing the game as much as enjoyed making it."
