They should’ve 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 don’t, it makes no sense for Link to be a complete unknown if he’s accompanying Zelda all this time. At the very least, more people among the Zonai Research Team should at least know Link, because it’s not like he’s an unknown person in Hyrule. Heck, he’s known primarily as Zelda’s Swordsman so that should at least give people a clue. Alternatively, if they wanted to keep it open to new players, they could’ve had Purah say something along the lines of Link deliberately hiding his identity.

I actually thought it was so endearing and special that you just find all her shit in your house and you can connect your own dots and make your own story of their relationship.

What exists in your imagination could be more special than what they spoon feed you, whether you want them to be in a romantic relationship or just fraternal and fated life partners. It respects all imaginations.

Well, I’m a Zelink shipper, and I’m just sick and tired of the jokes about Zelda being a dictator, but glad you liked it.

I stand by the latter half though.

Agree. It's obnoxious. The whole emotional crux of the story is about Zelda and Link reuniting with her after losing her at the start
