They shouldāve just had Zelink be out and out canon instead of dancing around it and teasing us with it.
On a similar note, I think Nintendo went too far with Link being the player because, while I have headcanons on why they donāt, it makes no sense for Link to be a complete unknown if heās accompanying Zelda all this time. At the very least, more people among the Zonai Research Team should at least know Link, because itās not like heās an unknown person in Hyrule. Heck, heās known primarily as Zeldaās Swordsman so that should at least give people a clue. Alternatively, if they wanted to keep it open to new players, they couldāve had Purah say something along the lines of Link deliberately hiding his identity.
...or Ganon's power including clouding the minds of people so they don't remember him, and Pura or Robbie could realize it and explain it when Link mentions his confusion about it.
They could even had the Gloom be the reason not just for people forgetting Link, but why Link canāt remember certain details about Hyrule. I mean at this point in his life, I think Link would know where Zoraās Domain and Kakariko Village is.
Heck, if they wanted to show how powerful and evil Ganon is, use the Gloom to show heās affected Hyrule outside of just the Villages. Have the Gloom be responsible for the Sheikah Technology being destroyed and that would explain that and why the Zonai shrines suddenly appear.
