Whoa, that actually sounds really interesting! Go for it!
A tip, though—music is really important in the games. You should integrate that into your story—maybe add music to the people's folklore in the Real World or somethin' like that.
Oh, and link plz!

First four chapters are up, and the fifth is on the way.
Good point about music. I'll probably have to rewrite part of chapter three and a lot of chapter one to work it in, but I think it'll be worth the effort. Of course, the roll music plays will be different for each world.

I'd like some advise on the summary. The one I have right now seems a bit weak.

I've started writing a massive Legend of Zelda fanfic that focuses on the idea of stories and myths shaping how we view reality. The story is set in a land where the 'Zelda Story' has become a major part of the cultural lexicon. Not only that, but the story has managed to ingrain itself into the reality of the world.
One important aspect of this fanfic is a Dream World Link explores and is interwoven with the story in the Physical World. The Real World is a gritty Dark Ages/Post-apocalypse setting where communities cling to existence, ruins litter the landscape, and stories of the past are one of the last remaining cultural artifacts the people possess. In this world, Link is a young adult and is very much the Reluctant Hero-he can't see himself becoming the hero of legend that is told about in stories, the hero his dreams tell him he will and must become. The Dream World is a fantastical realm where everything appears cel-shaded and 'reality' is malleable, changing in ways that can't be expected. Here, Link is a multifaceted child-Badass: one chapter can have him fighting a hundred mooks in a Kill Bill-style battle, another chapter he can be grappling with luche-libra wrestlers, and in another chapter he's the lead guitarist playing the greatest rock-and-roll song ever.
I should have the first two chapters up on fanfiction.net tonight. I am of course eager for feedback.
