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.

{{Infobox|Fan Game
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 resemblence to his own cherished kingdom.

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.

{{quote|This game was made in three weeks. Zelda Fan Game Central were hosting a competition for fan games made entirely by you in a certain set time limit.

This fan game was created by Kao in the Spring of 2000. This was the first game featured in ZeldaPower's original Fan Game section. This is a fairly decent game, with some fun gameplay, nice animation, and a good plot. You'll have to deal with some primitive graphics and clunky controls, though.

}}<onlyinclude>


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), minigames and side-quests.  
====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?


===='''Plot'''====
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 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 they 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.

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.

A fun addicting game where you shoot down Tingles and collect their rupees
'''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.

{{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}}

Legend of Princess is a one-level 2d side-scrolling platformer inspired by Nintendo's 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.
In 2019, Johnston [https://3dnes.blogspot.com/2019/05/update.html ported the existing part of the game to Unity WebGL] to ensure it continued to be playable, but observed that:
{{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}}

...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.

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).

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

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.

"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.

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.

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."

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."
