    Default Zelda and Link

    Is it just me, or does it seem like the female characters in the Zelda games all have a crush on Link EXCEPT Zelda? Zelda and Link seem to have no physical or romantic attraction to each other. The exception in Zelda 2: Adventure of Link where (the original) Zelda and Link fall in love at the end.

    I think its because the other female characters don't really take whats going on seriously, while Zelda is the one who knows whats going on before anyone else. The severity of the situation in each game is given by Zelda, she pretty much orchestrates the whole thing. Like Ruto for example. She gets saved by Link and gives him the spiritual stone and everything, but never really takes anything seriously until she turns into a Sage.

    Zelda kinda holds Link's hand at the end of OoT when he's handing her the Ocarina of Time, so she does show a general caring for him. Maybe even a love for him. But its a deeper thing than just puppy-love or lusting over Link like most other female characters have.

    Well, didn't Tetra kinda seem to have a thing for Link? But I've only played through Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass once, so I don't remember for sure.

    Now, I know for a fact that Zelda, at the end of Oot, shows some affection towards Link while taking the Ocarina from him (I am suprised that they didn't kiss right there).

    I will just throw in a random fact that supports your idea that everyone loves Link; Remember the three girls from TP in the star tent thing, well, they seem to be very attracted to Link, lol.

    That is what I have to say on this topic.

    Yes, Tetra was attracted to Link. That is obvious. The indications are clear.

    Yes but Tetra was not the deep and wise person the princess Zelda from other games was...she was more carefree and more likely to engage in a romance

    I don't think that they really ever have feelings of love between them, Also about the Zora thing, She only really loves him because they get Engaged to each other when she gives Link the Spiritual Stone

    The connection between Link and other female characters to me, resembles more of infatuation than actual love. Zelda always shows a loving compassion for Link, whether this is a love between friends, family, or even as a couple - I cannot say. But it is obvious after the games, every Zelda seems to have a soft spot for every Link.

    All I am saying is that almost every freakin girl in every freakin game of LoZ BESIDES Zelda (mostly) seems to have a thing for dudes in tights. It's kind of creapy when your playing. (fish woman[Ruto]) "Oh Link, since I gave you this stone, we are married! YAAAAY! (barfs) Seriously.

    Yet that is not always the case. Tetra was very laid back, unlike other Zeldas. Haven't you read the thread?

    Yes I have read the thread. But she is still a zelda. There is a different Zelda in every game, just linke their is a different Link in every game.

    You basically just repeated what I, and everyone else, have said... And your trying to argue with it... let us end this arguement.

    Zelda definitely seemed to have feelings for Link in OoT, especially in the end.

    Indeed, Zelda has always had strong feelings for Link, albeit not clearly romantic.

    I'd say TP is the exception, mostly because Zelda and Link are rarely together throughout the game.

    But then why did you comment on my post for nothing then? I have my own opinions. That is what I thought, and you have your own thoughts. Just leave it.
