What is the relationship between Link and Zelda!?

[GrooseIsLoose]

Some think they're lovers, some think they're friends. Some including me thinks Link is the chosen one, the servant and that Zelink ships should not go beyond Manga and should not be in game.

But, Skyward Sword, the first game chronologically gives some romantic hints at the game. But it didn't give a conclusive evidence that they're in love.

So what do Zelink ships mean to you? Should it be kept in dark forever?

They're different every time and they mean what they mean as they're presented to me.

I think the same way. Nintendo will never put actual romance between Link and another character (at least not from both sides (Peatrice)), only implied feelings at the most. Zelda and Link are usually just strangers put together by fate, or friends. I've also never really shipped Link with Zelda, except for possibly in Spirit Tracks

zelda 2 is the only time I can think of where it's basically shown that link got w/ zelda in the end, most of every other games don't really lean too much into it, it's possible for some of them but it's up to how you see it

 

[GrooseIsLoose]

how you see it

In Skyward Sword she maybe have went out with Link just because she must've felt something bad was gonna happen. Therefore I saw them as close friends in Skyward Sword.

Link is Zelda's tulpa.


Also whatever Skyward Sword says is irrelevant by default.

Link and Zelda's relationship vary from game to game but most of the time a romantic relationship would be complicated. She's a Princess and he's essentially a commoner, a heroic one but, a usually orphaned, commoner nonetheless. Skyward Sword Link and Zelda definitely got together tho. Spirit Tracks is a maaaaybe? Definitely good friends after theur adventure.

I personally enjoy a Link Zelda romance but it can be complicated...

You know what this makes way more sense

Honestly, the best Link can hope for after most games is a job. XD

I think they’re cute together, but it depends on the game. I really, really ship them in SS and BotW, but not so much in TP, because it’s obvious that Link like Ilia and she likes him, and Midna’s a better ship than Zelda is.

It all really depends on the game really. I like it when they do become closer than friends, it’s just so cute

 

[Dizzi]

Like others have said it depends on the game...

Zelda in short: A big bad evil (most of the times Ganondorf and sometimes another joker) invades Hyrule and kidnaps Zelda. Link has to save zelda, Hyrule and the whole World. Sometimes he gets to know Zelda better and sometimes he doesn't. After the events the end credits rolls and that's all folks. Everything else is up to your own imagination. You can ship Link with anybody. Not that we'll see anything happen in game besides some moment of sweet talk. Nintendo doesn't care with whom Link end up. Neither do I. As long as the story's good and the game also I'm satisfied.

A)They're friends
B )No, acquaintances
C) Someone they know slightly


Seriously, they almost never spend more then a few moments talking at a stretch. Link is her obedient little champion, but they hardly know each other.

Yeah, they barely interact in most games. They'll meet up, Zelda will offer some cryptic advice about gods or mysticism or whatever, and then Link will run away and complete some temples. I'd be surprised if Link even knows her last name in most games.
