Forget Skyward Sword, Minish Cap's the game that broke new ground. These two are quite clearly in love in The Minish Cap. Zelda clearly has feelings for Link, and their relationship is one rooted deeply in childhood. Its most interesting feature is actually developing a romance between Link and Zelda long before Skyward Sword. In Breath of the Wild , Zelda outright hates Link for most of the game, only becoming friendly with him shortly before Link falls into his century-long coma.
Cold, aloof, and stoic. Not your father's Princess Zelda. Zelda is, at her core, a princess first and it shows. For the majority of the game, Zelda seems to straight up hate and resent Link for his natural abilities. You may not have noticed, but Link is actually a really short guy. Consistently, too. For that matter, Link is always depicted shorter than Zelda in each and every incarnation.
If you think about it, this makes quite a lot of sense. She waited in hiding for seven years specifically on the chance that Link would return. When he does, she watches him over the course of the game as Sheik, witnessing first hand his heroics. One of the most ignored games in the franchise, largy thanks to the relative travesty that is Phantom Hourglass , Spirit Tracks features one of the best depictions of Princess Zelda in the entire franchise.
Do yourself a favor and play Spirit Tracks. The two actually work together and bond with one another consistently. Zelda has a character arc that sees her grow while also growing closer to Link. Most notably, the final boss takes on the appearances of enemies from A Link to the Past. Even more telling, however, is Marin. How does this connect to Zelda, though? When Link first wakes up, he mistakes Marin for Zelda.
Granted, the decision to split the game's Link into four different versions of himself was more down to the developers' desire to create a multiplayer co-op Zelda game than some creative narrative thread. It ultimately works well though, with Zelda being the one who helps the multiple versions of Link get back together after they rescue her from Vaati at the end of the game. It also features a fairly well-told story where Link and Zelda are childhood friends.
As a result, the actual titular Zelda is left with little to do. Her relationship with Link echoes this blatantly. Despite the fact that the two work together to defeat Ganondorf when all is said and done, their relationship is strictly professional. After all, the two barely know each other. They share a genuine sense of camaraderie, but their connection is mainly through Midna and Midna alone.
Spirit Tracks gets a bad reputation for being a direct sequel to what is arguably the worst 2D Zelda game, but it is a massive improvement over Phantom Hourglass. The jump in quality from PH to ST is so high that the latter more or less invalidates the former on a gameplay level. What really makes Spirit Tracks a strong Zelda game unlike its predecessor, however, is the story. This is the first time where Link and Zelda are genuine equals.
The two have a cute relationship that only develops more over the course of the game — Link and Zelda reaching the credits as legitimate equals. Both Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity 's interpretations of the characters are rooted in Skyward Sword 's dynamic.
Interestingly, it does so not through the interactions between the pair, but instead through the scenes involving Link and Zelda's Lorule counterpart, Hilda. Having grown up in and subsequently reigned over a ruined land, Hilda possesses many qualities that Zelda doesn't while also lacking the gravitas and high status. This in turn alters the way that Link behaves around her, highlighting just how much the gap in status can at times impact the bond between Link and Zelda.
They begin at odds with one another before developing a genuine bond that seems to be leaning towards the romantic. Not even a kiss, for luck! Not changing this sig until my sig changes! User Info: topgamer Nintendo has this thing about the male character being the big hero, saving the day, thwarting evil and all that junk. But then when it comes to the female romantic interest, they never put out.
And yet Link has all these descendants What are you talking about?! Mario gets so many nose kisses I'm surprised peach isnt pregnant yet! User Info: raver User Info: Milox3. User Info: corneliab. Milox3 posted User Info: gokaury.
At the end of Adventure of Link, when he finally wakes up the sleeping Zelda, he gets a kiss with the curtains drawn. User Info: DarkMassacre. The one time Link does get a kiss from Zelda, she most likely has horrendous morning breath. The darkness must go down the river of night's dreaming. More topics from this board
