Well, you could have a plot where Dark Link has his own memories and feelings, separate from Link. He might be on a quest to find his true identity. Maybe he starts to have dreams of a past life where he was not always in the shadows. This leads him to search for a way to change his fate. Along the way, he meets various characters from the Legend of Zelda universe who either help or hinder his journey.
One idea could be Dark Link being a misunderstood entity. Instead of being pure evil, he could be a corrupted form of Link who is trying to break free from the dark magic that binds him. Another plot could involve Dark Link teaming up with Link to defeat a greater evil that threatens Hyrule. This would create an interesting dynamic as they learn to work together despite their differences.
A great plot for Legend of Zelda Dark Link fanfiction might be a story where Dark Link is from an alternate dimension. In this dimension, he is the hero, but when he crosses over to Link's world, he is seen as a villain. As the story progresses, Link discovers that Dark Link's actions in his own world were actually noble, and they must find a way to send him back to his dimension before it collapses.
A possible plot for 'Legend of Zelda Dark Link x Reader fanfiction' could be that the reader is a young mage who accidentally enters the realm where Dark Link resides. Dark Link, seeing the reader's magic, decides to use it for his own ends. But as he spends time with the reader, he starts to have second thoughts. The reader, on the other hand, tries to resist Dark Link's influence while also being strangely attracted to his dark allure. This creates a tense and interesting dynamic between them. It could also be that the reader is from a different time or dimension and their presence in Dark Link's world disrupts the balance, leading to a series of events that force them to work together.

For example, dealing with a new dark magic that targets the harmony of the royal family. Another could be their daily life at the castle, like hosting grand balls and diplomatic events, and how they support each other during these. Also, they could embark on secret quests just the two of them to explore hidden parts of Hyrule, strengthening their bond in the process.
One possible plot twist could be that the two Links are from different timelines and their meeting causes glitches in the fabric of the Zelda universe. For example, the meeting might disrupt the natural flow of events, leading to unexpected changes in the locations of dungeons or the behavior of enemies.
Zelda could be a great addition. She might initially be wary of Dark Link but then come to understand his situation. Navi could also be included. Her insights could help Link and Dark Link communicate better. And Ganon, of course. His presence could add more conflict. He might try to manipulate Dark Link for his own evil purposes.
I really like the fanfiction where Link and Zelda are in an alternate universe. In this story, they are not royalty and adventurer in the traditional sense. Instead, they are ordinary people living in a small village. But, they still have that special connection that draws them together when an ancient evil from the Zelda lore starts to surface. It gives a fresh perspective on their characters.
