Here are some additional class options when playing Zeldatama. There are no race restrictions on any of the core classes or Navigator from Book of the New Year (pg. 3), but talk to your GM about what a specific job might look like.
Additionally, if choosing the ‘Noble’ class, work with your GM to determine how that works in your game — as ‘Noble Houses’ are not really part of The Legend of Zelda, but things like Knightly Orders and community leaders definitely are!
Shiekah
Sheikah often look like they live simple lives, but in reality, they are keepers of knowledge who possess mysterious powers and the ability to manipulate ancient technology and artifacts. While some Sheikah choose not to follow the path of their ancestors, those that do are highly skilled and educated individuals.
Example Jobs: monk, farmer, shop-keep, librarian, etc.
Example Actions: searching, hiding, archiving, finding heroes wandering in the wilderness, etc
Requirements: Must be a Hylian
Skills

Usable Circumstances | Stat Used | TN |
Any Stealth or Disguise related check | – | – |
Keeper of Legend
When knowledge is lost to the general populace, the Sheikah clan strive to preserve it. You have learned many legends from across all of Hyrule.

Usable Circumstances | Stat Used | TN |
When looking for information/clues | [INT + INT] | GM’s discretion |
Cover Story
You have a day to day job that provides a good cover story for your more clandestine activities.
Make note of your job, and choose a single Skill from any other class. Since you spend time training and studying, you’re not quite as good at the skill as someone else with that class.
Work with your GM to determine the difference: for check-based Skills, you take -1.

Other classes
Many people have made additional classes for Ryuutama. Check with your GM to see if they’ll allow a specific class, and see below for suggestions on using them with Zeldatama.
Alchemist
created by Emanuele Galletto, Google Docs
A class for the creation of useful tinctures and elixirs and the extraction of the essences needed to do so. Suitable for all major Zeldatama races, but work with your GM to determine what kind of essences each monster provides, since Zeldatama monsters are not tied to specific seasons.
Serum effect 2 restores 2 hearts.
Archivist
created by Ravn, personal website
A keeper of knowledge and finder of things. Suitable for all major Zeldatama races.
Perhaps discourage a party from including both an Archivist and a Librarian.
Chef
created by Ravn, personal website
A masterful cook who knows their way around a cookpot and kitchen implements. Suitable for all major Zeldatama races.
The Light Blade damage from Anatomical Precision is 1 heart, when the blade in question would only do a 1/2 heart of damage normally.
Clergyman
created by Ravn, personal website
A deeply spiritual person who provides support to those around them. Suitable for all major Zeldatama races, but consider that not all races worship the same when determining whether Homes for the Pious is effective.

Fisherman
created by RookieJet, Nekogoblin’s Field Guide (pg 11)
Folks who are extremely handy with a fishing pole and can provide for the party in many ways. Suitable for Hylians, Rito, and Zora.

Fighter
created by Dylan Grinder, Itch.io (pg 2)
These Fighters are strong and trained in hand-to-hand combat and inspire their fellows. Suitable for all major Zeldatama races.

Authority, discipline, and charm combine in this class suitable for town guards. Suitable for all major Zeldatama races.
Inventor
created by Deshter, Googles Docs (pg 2)

Librarian
created by Anaxim, Google Docs (pg 2)
Recall and organization are the purview of the Librarian class. Hylians and Gerudo are known to keep libraries; other major races are not.
