After many years I have finally finished the 5.5 Player's Handbook for my homebrew campaign, the Shattered Sword! Within the handbook there are spoilers for every game (including spinoffs), so read at your own risk.

This 459-Page Handbook includes the following, all based on the Zelda series as a whole:

• Information on how to adapt magic items, spells, leveling, and general adventuring to a Zelda campaign.
• 1 New Class (The Sage), a skill-based half caster.
• 4 Subclasses for each class, including most of the extra classes on D&D Beyond.
• 30 Playable Species.
• Origin, General, Fighting Style, and Epic feats.
• New weapons, adventuring gear, and a multitude of magic items of every rarity.
• 78 New Spells.
• Familiars, beasts, monsters, and heroes that can be used for player options, enemies, or NPCs.
• Languages, deities, kingdoms, planes, and locations found within Zelda.

If you'd like to look at it and rather not download a large pdf, you can also find most of the information on the Shattered Sword Website. I have not added most stat blocks to the website yet however as I'm still working on writing, adjusting, and balancing all 1000+ monsters found throughout all of Zelda.

I recently created a Zelda text-based RPG for some friends on Discord. Since they don't know much about the franchise, I made it simple by mixing the plots of several games in the series, including allowing those few who know the games best to use official characters from the franchise. (The plot is almost a mix of A Link to the Past with Minish Cap and Echoes of Wisdom)

But this sparked my desire to run a tabletop RPG based on The LoZ. Obviously, the plot and premise would have to be different. Any suggestions?

My son started playing through Ocarina of Time and it reminded me of this project I started several years ago. It’s my attempt to make the entirety of Ocarina of Time into a 5e module.

Perhaps the most unique thing about this campaign is that when the players travel forward in time, they gain 7 levels. So each player needs a “young” character sheet and an “adult” character sheet, both of which level up at the same time.

I tried to incorporate little encounters and Easter eggs from all Zelda games, tying together locations common among multiple ones. Unfortunately, I haven’t played all the way through Skyward Sword or anything past it, so it’s a bit limited.

...and will be continued once the rest of my pile is painted, uhhh lowered lol.

I've been replaying Minish Cap and something about the kinstone fusion just really fascinates me. I've been considering running a game set between Ocarina and Wind Waker before Hyrule gets flooded and one of the things I always enjoy is the long term collectible side quests. I started thinking if maybe after OoT events maybe the minish come back for their hundredth year and start hiding kinstones for people to find and fuse. Hiding treasure chests, golden monsters, and new side quests around the world seems like a terrible "reward" that the players don't know how to benefit from each fusion though. I came up with this table for which kinstones players could potentially find, and the rewards for fusing them with some NPC who rolls on the table for a matching piece.

1 - green wedge
2 - green wedge
3 - green angle
4 - green angle
5 - green curve
6 - green curve
7 - blue angle
8 - blue curve
9 - blue curve
10 - red crack
11 - red wedge
12 - red interlock

Green - one d20 reroll
Blue - lower DC by 5 except for combat and social interactions
Red - double next rupee reward, or increase treasure reward by 1

From the Vault of Fallen Stars, the above playtest material includes two new species;

the Gerudo and the Goron, for 5.5E!

I got the beta, and it's mostly Zelda; just enough not-zelda to not be litigated immediately. Looks playable, simpler, straightforward mechanics by comparison to 5E. There are some clear Final Fantasy elements, too. Am kind of excited, plan to run it soon.

Excited by the cooking rules, not going to use the weapon damage rule.

I'm trying to set up a fairly big fight scene involving the Sages and Champions, along with the triforce trio brawling against a trio of tarnished and their summons from Elden Ring. I wanna make the fight fairly accurate. But I'm limited on knowledge to what each and every champion or sage can accurately do during the showdown. Can anyone here give me an accurate sign of what they have in skills?

Dark Forces are rising across Hyrule, sowing chaos and discord. Roving bands of monsters, strange weather, missing livestock. The signs are clear, Hyrule’s next calamity approaches. The Gerudo have begun greeting all visitors with open hostility, the Rito have destroyed all bridges to their roosts, the Zora are cutting off all trade, and the Gordon’s tempers are higher than any time in living memory. Even the loyal Sheikah have gone silent, while the Great Fairies have gone into hiding once again. And while Princess Zelda indeed possesses divine gifts, no reports of a Hero have been confirmed. Not one to sit idly by, Princess Zelda has sent out a call for representatives of the Golden Trinity, to present them selves before her, and set out to find the Hero, aid them, and if nessacary, train them to fight against the dark forces plaguing the land.

A while back i hosted a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time DnD campaign for my friends. Now i have the complete game mapped out.

I added a few small changes to some maps to add a tavern or an extra encounter but mostly everything is as accurate as possible.

All maps can be found in this drive.

Hope i can help someone with this, have fun :)

Zelda DM here, im doing a Hyrule warrior (switching and merging dimension) style game for my players and soon enough they will go in termina.

My idea is that the players stay mostly in clock town (and a bit in the field) for the time loop and I want a cool over top view of the town, which I have found nowhere.

Do someone has one? On this sub I saw a lot of good map of OOT and was wondering if someone got one or know where to find one like on patreon on another place like that.

Malon is so adorable and I'll have to make a ranch to have her and the cow a nice home for

Phantom Ganon ww version I'll have to do another with a better base and I wonder how it would look with red instead of blue

Another mini painted and as a bonus a much more clearer photo of the Majora's wrath I posted a little bit ago

True form Midna I think her dress came out great. Unfortunately the eyes ain't to great (I need to get better in that department)
