Why calling Link ‘My pearl’ when it’s a nickname that an be associated at something so delicate that ruins basically by itself with natural acids contained in body oils and perspiration and bumps that easily when you could have Sidon call him my sapphire?
Not only Sapphires are strongly part of the zora culture but if we take a look at the Mohs scale you know what’s right below diamonds (Diamonds are 10, Corundrums, aka Rubies and Sapphires, are 9) , have great durability and great luster? THEM.
Link is out there smashing Lynel heads all the time and saving the world, I can’t really imagine him being a little jewel that can easily be dissolved in vinegar, he’s something that will punch you back if you try to crush it. Also have you seen how many sapphire colors are around? Blue, green, pink, white- that’s Link trying different clothes and enjoying his dye shop trips in Hateno.
Thanks for coming to my totally unnecessary Ted Talk.
