Iād love a Legend of Zelda dating Sim, like a fully Nintendo approved game where you can make your ships come true.
But all the characters need to be canon, all the characters can speak except Link who uses Text dialogue options that are 60% puns/oblivious flirting.
Zelda? Her affection meter goes up for every obscure fact you remember about the game and World of Hyrule.
You CAN date Beedle, you play mini games to win Bug themed gifts to give him, and in return he gives you stuff that might even help you romance other characters?.
You can also unlock smaller side characters routes, like Pippin, which would be shorter but still sweet
You can also romance enemies, but doing so will lower the affection meter of any Main āGoodā characters and vice versa.
Some characters will be WAY more flirty than others, Iām talking Girahim, Midna, Purah (Totk obvs). So some options will combust at hand holding and some will shamelessly tell you they want to rail you in front of the goddess statue. (She is DISGUSTED and rightly so)
You play as your own OC, which you can make look like whoever you want, including other Zelda characters if you want to pretend itās a ship. Oh and just like the games, your character style will change depending on who you romance, so sadly your adorable self insert will turn edgy the moment you try to talk to Midna.
I think about this a lot and left it in my drafts. But then date everything came out and it reawakened the beast (the beast is the forgotten 8 tabs of Zelda fanfic I have open on ao3).
