Sleepy Link

[Mases]

After examing Link's house in Ordon, is anything missing?

Yes! A Bed. That's right, there is no bed in Link's house. Does he ever sleep? Did Nintendo just forget about this little detail or what. Seems rather weird. He starts nearly every other Zelda game asleep in his bed, but hey, no Bed for him this time. Eternal Awakeness for TP Link.

[Avenged]

Actually if I recall..there is, did you ever go upstairs, or even downstairs?

[linkman8]

Frankly I can't remember, maybe I'll pop in TP and see if you're right.

[Kybyrian]

Nope, there is no bed in Link's house in Twilight Princess. I just pulled it out and checked. Both upstairs and downstairs.

[linkman8]

Hm, maybe he sleeps over at someone else's house? ;)

[Peregrine]

It's been a few months since I've been there, but wasn't there a dark sort of basement area? Maybe he sleeps on a pile of straw down there or something.

[RyanNope]

Maybe his bed folds into the wall?

[Kybyrian]

I don't think that they had that kind of stuff then =P

Peregrine: Yes there is, but it's all shelves and nothing else. Aside from a treasure chest containing a purple rupee.

[linkman8]

Yeah, that basement seemed more like a storage room. There aren't any chairs in the whole house, are there? Couches or anything of the like?

[Mases]

Nope, Link doesn't have a bed at all. Can't imagine any other place where he would possibly sleep. Weird.

I guess since many games start with Link already asleep, they automatically have a bed in there. (A link to the Past, Links Awakening (Sorta), Ocarina of Time, Minish Cap, and Wind Waker). All the other games, he simply doesn't have his own hut of any sorts, so obviously doesn't have a bed. Since Nintendo just didn't have him sleep, figured it wasn't important. :)

No sleep for our hero Link.

[Kybyrian]

Seems a bit funny, how they wouldn't add a bed in there. We Zelda fanatics have to notice every little detail though :P There's absolutely nothing that Link could rest on in that little house.

[linkman8]

Perhaps our hero just sleeps out under the stars, in hay or something? Makes sense to me, unless it was raining.

[RyanNope]

There is the possibility that he sleeps on a fold up futon (as this was made in Japan.)

[Kybyrian]

Well I don't think that Twilight Princess took place in that type of time era. That's weird though, I mean, considering that Link exits his house at the beginning of the game in the first place. They never gave any clues as to where he might sleep.

[Avenged]

It's obvious people, go to Ilia's house, she has a bed...he bunks with her every night.

I seriously was gonna say that, but then I couldn't remember her name.

That's sort of what I meant when I said, "He sleeps at someone elses' house".

[Super Zelda Fanatic]

they should have made him a bed or hamick so he acn sleep

i love sleeping in hammicks theyr comfortble

[LegendZ]

Maybe he sleeps in a sleeping bag outside beneath the star filled sky. Seeing he has no bed in his room.

[Mases]

I've never tried it, but if you just keep the game on for an extending time, does Link begin to yawn and/or fall asleep of any sorts? I remember Nintendo doing this with a Mario title before and thought it was hilarious. I do remember Link yawning in previous Zelda sites.

Maybe they just decided people don't need to sleep in Twilight Princess.

I've taken a look around Ordon Village and there is just a massive shortages of Beds all togethor. There is about 12-15 that live in the village or so, yet I count about 5 beds. The house with the bunk beds are even worse. They are just wood with a small blanket on them. The little beds that I do fine, they are unusually small as well.

thats what i was thinking, its not impossible. if i remember correctly, there is something rolled up on epona's back.

[RyanNope]

There is also this wonderful drug called caffine. Maybe Link goes to a Starbucks when he's feeling drowsy. Or maybe he drinks Rockstar or RedBull. Hey, its possible!

[Phantom Link]

Maybe Link sleeps with Ilia... LOL. :xd:

[Mases]

I mean seriously, how do they forget to include a bed? There are so many things in Link's house that are completely unecessary, yet a bed of all things isn't there. Weird.

In all the other games where Link had his own house, (Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Minish Cap), he had his own bed. In fact in most of those games there was an abundance of beds. In alttp I think almost all the houses had beds. I vaguely remember a house with multiple beds too.

I think the just thought putting beds in every house would get boring and repetetive, so they just simply decided not to...

[Peregrine]

When the Enterprise was designed for Next Generation, there was only one toilet.

Not the blueprints that were sold in the later series, but in the earlier blueprints that the writers and production staff used internally.

One toilet. For the whole ship. With over 1000 people aboard. And it was on the bridge. Where the children weren't aloud to go.

Rumor has it that the design for the Klingon ships didn't have any toilets at all. The inside joke is that holding it in makes Klingons meaner.

It's too easy to overlook that kind of stuff when dealing with fiction. It all happens off screen, so it doesn't really matter to the creative process. Maybe if it was something like Minish Cap, when Link could go home and go to bed to regenerate his health, then they wouldn't have forgotten a bed. But since they didn't include that as an aspect in the game, then it simply didn't occur to them.

[linkman8]

That sounds plausible. Perhaps they just thought it to be unnecessary to the game and didn't bother to put it in.

[Avenged]

He doesnt have a bed to speak, but I did find where he sleeps, upstairs by the window. If you notice on the second floor, there is a desk with books, pencils, and...a blanket with a small pillow. It just likely he sleeps on the third area next to the window due to the open area...

Oh yeah...that explains why hes up there when the rancher calls Link in the beginning of the game.

[Mases]

I looked around some of the other houses in Ordon Village. Uli, Rusl, and Colin's home doesn't have a bed at all. It doesn't even have an upstairs. Just a dinner table, a rocking chair, and what appears to be a wooden couch.

Malo, Talo, Pergie, and Jaggle's house has a bunk bed. I guess that means Malo and Talo sleep together on the top bunk and Pergie and Jaggle sleep together on the bottom bunk.

We never get to see the inside of Fado's house and we only see the store portion of Sera, Hanch, and Beth's house.

Ilia and Mayor Bo's house is the only one that has adaquet space. They each have their own bed and own space to sleep. What's funny about their house though, is that Ilia's room, which I presume is the one upstairs, doesn't have a door. You just climb the stairs and your in Ilia's room. However, at the very begining of the game, Mayor Bo says that Ilia has locked herself in her room working on something. (which we later learn that she was working on the horse call). The only logical explanation is that she locked the entire house and that's what Mayor Bo meant by her room, but that doesn't make sense.

[Avenged]

Huh, no offense, but we already figured it out Mases and I dont think not having a bed or having a bed is a huuuuge conspiracy. I think its time to be locked unless we want to continue asking ourselves how the people of Hyrule sleep. Its the medieval era, not many people actually beds back then. A person like Links problably just likes to sleep on the grass or in mud as explained in the cartoons.

[Rheks]

Actually, I did notice that too.
I was like. "wtf. Link has no bed" ;__;

[Y2K3]

I actually never noticed this. I only looked around his house once, and never really though much of a bed.
