The Legend of Zelda AU

The Legend Of Zelda AU (also known as Zelda AU and LoZ AU) is a fairly new AU within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In this AU, the Big Four, and other associated characters, are characters or people from The Legend of Zelda games. This AU can be considered as a sub-scenario of Fairy Tale AU and Arcade AU.

About the AU
Spawned from fanart, this AU the four are cast as the main characters from the world of Zelda or people (and one of the many races) from the kingdom of Hyrule: like Hylians, Zoras, Gorons, Sheikahs, Kokiris, Gerudos, Twilis, Fairies, etc.

The four, and other such characters can be placed in one of the many or in their own Legend Of Zelda world as they fight or assist to keep the Triforce of Power, Wisdom and Courage safe or lend the Hero, the Princess and their comrades their assertions. The story usually differs, from the roles, choses and the Zelda timeline(s) and places that fans place the four in.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Hiccup's life on Berk and his riding skills with dragons casts him as the hero Link, from The Wind Waker and Skyward Sword. With Toothless as the (living) King of Red Lions ship and Link's Crimson Loftwing.

Hiccup can also be a blacksmith that sharpens and upgrades the hero's weapons or a human living on Skyloft and riding his black Loftwing; he can even teach the hero how to ride on "winged" steeds. Hiccup can even be the Sage of Change or Wind. The Dragon Eye can be one of the (magical) items that helps the hero on his journey and the main focus of the story, like the Ocarina of Time and the Wind Waker; it can even be a map to the Triforce and other items that can help the hero to unlock it.

Jack Frost
Fans have cast Jack as Link for the Jackunzel pairing. Jack can also be the legendary hero in his own LoZ story, with Baby Tooth as his fairy companion, like Navi in Ocarina of Time. Jack can also be a Sheikah, living in the "shadows" of Burgess (when the town is used as a "icy" Kakariko Village) or the Sage of Ice or Fun that gives the hero the Ice Arrow, Ice Rod or any other ice powered weapon.

Merida DunBroch
Merida's archery skills casts her as Zelda from Twilight Princess (or any other "Zelda" that knows how to wield a bow). She can also be a female Link (like Linkle), with Angus as a male Epona and a Wisp as her fairy companion, or a fairy that heals her. Her red hair and strong female spirit also casts her as a Gerudo, the Sage of Freedom or a skill archer that gives and teaches the hero how to use a bow or gives him the Fire Arrow.

The Ring of Stones can serve as the place where the one of the Zelda villains (or any of the fandom's antagonists, that are cast in this AU) gathers the Sages and summons Ganon.

Rapunzel Corona
Rapunzel's blond hair, the pink on her dress, being a princess, wilily to defend herself and others, her connection to Light and is said to be wise, casts her as Princess Zelda. She can also be someone that the hero helps in a side-quest. The Golden Flower can be one of the (magical) items that helps the chosen hero and the main focus of the story, like the Spirit Flute and Phantom Hourglass.

The three tear shaped diamonds that are on her tiara could hold the power of Wisdom, Courage and Power and could have the hero to retrieve them for her, before they fall into the wrong hands. Her Tower can even be used as a dungeon.

Mor'du
Mor'du's lust for power when he was human casts him as the only male Gerudo, Ganondorf, with his bear form as Ganon.

Toothiana
Tooth being a queen of her fairies and a guardian, casts and makes her a Great Fairy of Memories; she can also be the Sage of Memories. Her palace can serve as a dungeon or the place where her Fairy Fountain resides: a Fairy Fountain or "Fountains" for her fairies and a "Great Fairy Fountain" for her.

Guardians
The Guardians are cast as people that help the Hero to improve his skills in weaponry and magic or gives him useful and powerful weapons or items, like a sword from North, a boomerang from Bunny and Gold Dust/Dreamsand from Sandy. They can also be cast as Sages; what they stand for as Guardians - Wonder, Hope, Memories and Dreams - can be used and be what they stand for as Sages. Ombric Shalazar can be the descendant of the Sage of Time, Rauru, the one before him, the one that granted him with the power of time or be cast as Ruru.

North's Workshop, Bunnymund's Warren and The Sandship can serve as some of the LoZ dungeons.

Astrid Hofferson
Fans have cast Astrid between a female Link, a strong, proud Zelda and Tetra. She can even be a strong, young girl that helps the hero to improve his fight skills and teach him useful and powerful "moves," like some of the Hidden Skills and other sword techniques.
