Link's Loves - Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, & Twilight Princess

I'm currently playing Skyward Sword and seeing Link and Zelda actually having feelings for each other is very refreshing. In the other games, it was sort of implied they had a thing for each other, but their relationship was more business-like, i don't know if that's the correct term for it.

Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword had the best relationship that we've seen.

"Ruto and Link can't get together because TP Link doesn't resemble a zora" Fanfictions: "That sign can't stop me because I can't read!"

I am 100% convinced that Skyward Sword Link and Zelda end up together, and the reason that Minish Cap Link and Zelda are friends is that they're cousins.

Also regarding Malon: there’s a gossip stone in town that says that Malon dreams of being sweapt away by a knight riding a horse, or something to that effect. And who goes to the Ranch and saves her in a horse? Link

I’m convinced that the Hero of Time and Malon got together. The Hero of Twilight is a blood descendant of the Hero of Time and somehow he’s not only a ranch worker, but has a horse called Epona AND knows Epona’s song. I mean for goodness’ sake, when you’re in Hyrule Field at night in Twilight Princess, the music is accompanied by Malon’s singing!

“Zelda knows how to kill the mood... and almost Link, too.” 🤣

Oddly Princess Zelda has the least interactions in Twilight Princess, but she's my favorite version of herself so far. A true Royal.

Zelink in Skyward Sword is what I'm all about. Seeing Link smile, mad and even crying for her is just heart warming. All Zelda's have to save their kingdoms and all Link's are the heroes, but the Hero of Sky has a personal motive (Zelda) to go in the adventure and that is why is soooo special.

Also going to skim over the fact that Twilight link knows how to whistle Eponas song using the grass? to me that's kind of a big hint for the Link/Malon ship

The canon love interest in Skyward Sword? Me, an intellectual: It’s Groose

"Then she makes me wanna punch my TV by telling Link that he has to jump off the statue and pushing him off" Same :)

"Will you go through the tiny hole, and find the treasure inside?" NABOORU I'M 10 YEARS OLD

Link and Zelda in skyward sword have a really beautiful bond , I'm sure they ended together .

This man is a true zelda theorist... overthinking everything.... and thats what makes it so good

I support the Link and Malon pairing. I think it's a sweet pairing and there's definitely more evidence that point to that pairing in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess. Looking at Ordon Village, it seems that Link and Malon would've been happy together since it's a mixture of how they were both raised respectively, Link was raised in the forest and Malon was raised on the ranch. Out of all of Link's potential love interests in Ocarina of Time, I believe Malon is his best chance at happiness. I remember thinking the Ocarina of Time incarnations of Link and Zelda looked nice together and hoped they would get together back when I was a kid. But as I got older, their relationship started to feel platonic to me, it felt like they were coworkers if that makes any sense. I guess I had the "hero gets the princess" mindset when I was a kid.

One thing that you never mentioned was that once you finish Peatrice's quest, if you've confessed your love for her and then have Fi analyze her afterwards, she says something like "I sense a great aura of happiness whenever you're around her. It's probably best to not inform Zelda about this."

I dunno if any other commenters have mentioned this, but at the end of Twilight Princess, Link is riding away from Ordon village, not towards it. You can go to that spot and match up the camera angle. Link has already been home, and Ilia is watching him leave. It's anyone's guess as to why, but I would suspect he's going to try to find a way back to the Twilight Realm.

The whole Saria section gave me anxiety because I use the lost woods as my alarm clock.

My favourite ship is Midlink! Not only do I adore their chemistry, Im also a sucker for a bittersweet ending. I love to think of them as two people who were in love, but couldn't persue it, due to the circumstances they were in. I personally believe Midna was planning to confess her feelings to Link, but stopped herself, knowing it would be more painful if she did go through with it, because she would destroy the mirror. I actually think she thought this one through long and hard and it was a though decision for her. I also think Link left Ordon in search of a way to bring back the mirror, because he wanted to see Midna again. Sorry if this is long, but MidLink is a comfort ship for me haha.
