[aliascanthrope]

i love the ambiguity of zelda and link's relationship. they are in love. they're just good friends. they're married. link just follows zelda around like a puppy and she got attached to him. they're t4t. they're work buddies. zelda is in love with link and hes just doing his job. link is in love with zelda and shes just doing her job. they're soulmates. they're bound together by their duty to hyrule. they're bearding for each other

[criiitter]

find me in the future.

“Oh, Link, you really did it!” 🥹

[rottentreegremlin]

Yeah Zelink can fuck but have you ever considered that they should HOLD HANDS??

[slaps a cork board covered in papers and red string] And I don’t just mean sometimes! I MEAN AS MUCH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.

i still daydream over the idea of Link hitting a sudden growth spurt and being taller than Zelda ( 〃▽〃)

[gale-gentlepenguin]

I just think about how Link had to once again wake up basically naked after getting his ass beat by evil and failing to protect Zelda.

How he has to go on a journey all over hyrule again, all to fight an evil that rocked his s*** last time, EVEN WITH the Master Sword.

Link fights monsters, goes through shrines, exploring the skies and depths all to prepare for another fight with Evil, all for Zelda's sake.

You cant tell me Link doesnt think he's a failure. And of course he was probably devastated finding out what Zelda had to do. She once again saved him, laid the ground work for him, sacrificed EVERYTHING because she believed he could stop the evil if given the chance.

Link gathers his allies and his strength to once again face an Evil that wants to destroy Hyrule. Whether it be a Calamity or a Demon king, the lengths Link will go to Find Zelda. Thats what truly matters to him

i think it’s insane that zelda fell first truthers seem to think that i am only operating on the “evidence” of him being protective of her. like i’m stupid enough to only think superficially regarding their relationship. and it’s so IRKSOME that the automatic assumption is that i am not pulling from a fundamentally different reading that doesn’t inherently rely on evidence.

like yes, it is sweet that he threw himself in front of the yiga clan with no thought to his own safety. and yes, that is his job. but it’s MORE than that imo. it is, again, that it is talked about in text that link would’ve lived at the castle training to be a knight with his father before he pulls the master sword. i think link knew the princess was beautiful and had a minor crush - the kind you’d get on a pop star. it’s something he can dismiss out of hand.

but then he pulls the master sword. and the prophecy is revealed. and suddenly there’s a burden on his shoulder that he finds it difficult to speak. he has all these duties he didn’t ask for and the only person in the world he can relate to is the princess who hates his guts. they share a burden, and she refused to even look his way. and yet king rhoam orders them to spend time together, assigns him to be her knight. and he knows she despises him, but he follows her anyway. and he gets to see her. he sees her attempts to awaken her sealing power, he sees her studying the ancient tech, and he sees her friendship with impa & purah. he sees how she is so strong regarding her mother’s death.

again, he can’t help but remember that superficial crush - the kind that one might have on an actress - and it grows. it festers, taking root like a plant in his heart and growing out of control. he doesn’t want to control it. but he keeps it firm in there, because his duty is to his country, his duty is to protect. it isn’t his duty to fall in love.

what happens when a knight falls out of line? he doesn’t want to know. so he keeps quiet. he keeps it buried. and he has one more reason to do his job right. one day she’ll marry, and it probably won’t be to him. he’s a common knight, and she’s a princess. when he throws himself in front of the blades of the yiga, he had no idea that she’d fallen, too.

Did someone say Ancient Ruins?!

[redraccoondog]

100% Nintendo verified canon: the entirety of Zelda's extensive emotional damage from Rhoam's shitty parenting was undone by this single extremely dad reaction from Rauru

[arystocrat]

hc that zelda hums little tunes when she works on stuff, and link learned these through osmosis. that's why he has new songs to hum while cooking

[eerna]

never thought I'd see you again
