I think you missed the point of Zelda and Link's relationship in BotW. While they had a lousy relationship toward the beginning because of Link's silence and Zelda's insecurity, they soon developed a strong bond after realizing how much they had in common until they became each other's number one comfort. Heck, Kass even noted that Zelda was in love with Link, and in his Japanese Diary, Link mentions that his main reason for defeating Ganon was to see Zelda smile again. There are also other instances where Link mentions how much he wants to impress Zelda and thinks she's beautiful. On the subject of Paya and Mipha, though, the former mentions how she believes that Link is in love with Zelda and that if he is, he'll give her full support. Meanwhile, while not explicitly stated, it's hinted that Mipha's feelings are actually unrequited or Link, in the past, simply didn't know she felt that way for him. She even mentions how she feels like he's staring past her when they're together, and he denies talking about his fears with her when he did so with Zelda, according to her diary.

[@annieandelsieofarendelle3294]

Regarding OOT "absolutely not" - This might not be canon, but no one, not even the game creators themselves, will ever convince me that Link and Zelda are not brother and sister in that game. 1. The Honey/Darling couple tell each other that they are as handsome as the King, and as beautiful as the 7-year-old princess (?), so the Queen is out of the picture. 2. Link's mother brought him as a baby to the Deku tree before dying during the Hyrule Civil War 3. "Only members of the royal family" can learn this song. (This comes up way too often to not mean something!)

[@thomashost272]

2:08 Wrong. He becomes a knight of Hyrule as an adult and has a child canonically. He is also not a Stalfos, he's a Big Poe. He literally has the same transparent rotting skin texture as the Big Poes in Arbiter's Grounds. But TP Link is canonically his descendant, and is very obviously NOT royal blood. In fact it's implied OoT Link marries Malon, and based on the location of Ordon Village compared to ToT, it may even be that Ordon Village was built around Lon Lon Ranch. 2:52 It's implied by the Royal Guard Trainee Uniform literally being WW Link's outfit that Link either married Tetra and became the First King of New Hyrule or became captain of the Royal Guard, though based on how only a handful of Hylians got to new Hyrule at that time and Link and Tetra are the only Crew Members other than Niko around the same age, it's almost guaranteed that WW Link and Zelda got together. I also suspect that Spirit Tracks Link is Aryl's grandson due to the fact he's not in the Royal Family (though does work closely with them), and the fact he's identical to WW Link. FS and Minish Cap Zelda I would put in Probably. "Absolutely" should only be for ones we have confirmation or heavy implications they start dating in some capacity. Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, and BotW are the only three we basically can guarantee get with their Zeldas. 5:17 I think the implications is that Link would have gotten with Midna if she kept the Mirror of Twilight in tact, but with her gone permanently I think Nintendo kinda pushed that he gets with Illia. 9:13 What's funny is that had Mipha survived the calamity Link almost certainly would have ended up with HER rather than Zelda, but TotK Zelda literally shares a bed with Link. 10:33 I'm pretty sure it's implied Cartoon Link and Zelda are married by their appearances in Captain N: The Game Master. 11:04 CDI Zelda would be in Absolutely Not, honestly. She's kind of a bitch and Link is really annoying about wanting a Kiss from Zelda. The relationship as a result is VERY one-sided, which could be said about Cartoon Zelda too, but she does have moments where she and Link have really cute moments, and are either Dating or Married by the time of Captain N.

[@Warriormon87]

8:34 what?! The entire plot of that game is Lana wants Link but Link is going to get together with Zelda. And the end of the game is her accepting that the two of them were meant to be and are absolutely going to get together. The game's own story confirms that Hyrule Warriors Zelda absolutely gets with Hyrule Warriors Link!

[@wanko7130]

OoT Link does not go off into the forest, dies, and becomes a Stalfos. The Hero's Shade is a literal shapeshifting specter, not a reanimated cursed skeleton. He's even translucent so I don't know why people are STILL parroting Matpat's stupid theory. On top of all of that, he has a descendant by blood (TP Link) but you're right, he probably ended up with Malon given TP Link's upbringing, Epona being a one of a kind horse canonically, and dirtier blonde hair compared to his ancestor OoT Link. There's a lot of subtle hints towards it.

[@CoralCopperHead]

Probably because the theory and the evidence don't contradict each-other. There's nothing stopping him from having a kid with Malon, then having a reason to, say, go to the Forest Temple, and die along the way.

@@CoralCopperHead There is no reason for him to ever go into the Forest Temple within the Child Timeline. The contradiction is pretty blatant. A Stalfos is a reanimated skeleton, the Hero's Shade literally has "shade" in his name.

@@wanko7130 We never saw who the sages from Twilight Princess were supposed to be as they clearly left their bodies behind, just like the sages in the adult timeline did, becoming these white, faceless, ghost like figures. We also never saw if the sages from Twilight Princess were or were not awakened between Majoras Mask and Twilight Princess. But its highly unlikely that the sages from Twilight Princess are supposed to be the ancient sages and Rauru. This wouldnt even make sense because it would imply that the ancient sages are also still alive in the adult timeline, defeating the point of having to awaken new sages. And the game never states that Ganondorf killed the sages, like he did in Wind Waker, but only that he corrupted the temples which again sounds like there were no sages who could have defended them. To me it just sounds likely that when Ganondorf waged war on Hyrule, before they captured and executed him, he would have corrupted the temples, just like in the adult timeline, and this would mean that Link, or someone else, would have to awaken new sages again. They dont necessarily have to be the exact same ones as in the adult timeline but they would have to be awakened somewhere in that time for them to later appear in Twilight Princess. In the end all we both said are just speculations, we don't really know what really happened or who they really are.

Quick personal headcanon for Spirit Tracks. I always rationalized that Link and Tetra got together, eventually giving us Zelda of New Hyrule, obviously. But that the Hero of Trains Link was also a descendant of Aryll (WW Link’s sister) and that they’re just like cousins that are also besties after the adventure is finished.

[@Llortnerof]

There's a considerable timeskip between them anyway, where the events of Wind Waker have faded into legend. So even if both were descendants of the Hero of Wind and Tetra, they may be distantly enough related that Link is not considered part of the royal family. Alternately, he's could be completely unrelated, since neither the Triforce nor the Master Sword have any relevance to the story.

[@Alpha121198]

@@Llortnerof I mean sure there’s been a timeskip but not anywhere near close to where it would have faded into myth. The events of The Wind Waker still exist within living memory because the character Nico, a member of Tetra’s crew, is still alive to witness the events of Spirit Tracks. Yes he could be completely unrelated, and due to the timeline that is the only way I can see that working out romantically.

[@chibimena]

As a zelink propagandist and romantic at heart, here’s why I believe your “absolutely nots” actually do have a lot of potential. TP: They both were the only two who knew Midna and would understand each other after everything. At the end of the game, we see Link leaving Ordon, presumably to become a knight under Zelda like every other Link before him. It’s kinda their whole thing, he’s Hylia’s protector and she’s the blood of the goddess. It’s why he struggles when Zelda is possessed, because even though they don’t know each other, he knows in his soul who she is. Now you bring up Ilia but I just think it’s friendship that only could have been more if he hadn’t been the Hero. Next, people love to bring up Midna as if she didn’t sever the ties between Hyrule and the twilight realm at the end. It’s impossible that they ended up together, even if we assume they did have an attraction to each other (and that’s up to interpretation). Personally, I think Midna would be happy that her friends found solace and company with each other. Then, the scene when Zelda bows to him is such an impactful scene because she’s the *princess*. Again, she knows him even if they’re strangers in this life. Obviously he could’ve ended up with anybody, their relationship is certainly underdeveloped in that game, yet I don’t believe that there’s nothing there. I just like them 💗 but you don’t have to, of course, just sharing my two cents! I know I’m not changing minds, especially about these two, but that’s my interpretation. OoT Zelink was my first ship, ever since I was like 7 so I do disagree with you there too. I know Malon x Link is a popular fan theory that people love to act like it’s canon when it’s not, there’s a lot of evidence against them. Like Hero’s Shade being a high rank knight, his grave in the castle grounds, TP Link isn’t the owner of the ranch, he’s the only Hylian in Ordon and him knowing Epona’s song just means he has ties to the past hero because that song was important to OoT Link because of Epona, not Malon #horsegirl. Like sure it could be but honestly even if it is, I don’t really care about them. Malon is a cute character, but she’s not a deep or interesting one. OoT Link spends his time looking for Zelda, interacting with her as Sheik, and caring about her. Their relationship is the one that matters there so even if theirs is a tragic love story, that’s the one I ship the most. Also, the fact that she shows up in Majora’s Mask only to say that she feels like she’s known him forever, will never forget him and can’t wait to see him again. The games definitely point to how impactful they were to each other. Oh and for BotW, that whole game is about their love story. They go from duty bound to the only ones who understand each other to Link dying for her, Zelda sacrificing herself for him, her waiting 100 years and then Link wanting to see her smile once more. That’s why we got that “weird” Zelda smile at the end, because that’s what Link wished to see once more since the minute he understood what happened 😅 To me, Zelink was always real and SS and its manga made it even more canon that they are two souls bound for eternity to meet and love each other 😊 that’s why it’s called The Legend of Zelda and why Link does what he does every game. It’s all part of Hylia’s plan!

[@andyblargextra]

This was a well thought out argument. Kudos! Hearing your thoughts on OoT Zelink, I think you have a great point. I'd probably keep them kinda low personally, but probably one tier up. Thank you for the insightful discussion.

[@Zelenal]

Zelink in OoT/MM is literally impossible for a very simple reason: The Hero of Twilight isn't royalty or even nobility. There's only about a hundred years between OoT/MM and TP so there's no way for the Hero of Twilight to have fallen that far in status. People headcanon that the Hero of Time hooked up with Malon simply because it makes the most sense. It's either her or some rando.

[@chibimena]

@@Zelenal Except we can headcanon a million and one reasons why they could have had children with different people and then come back together. Or we can even say someone stole a royal baby a la Rapunzel and that’s why TP Link is in Ordon. That’s just as valid. There’s also actually no real evidence in game that TP and OoT are related by blood. That came after in a book that is not actually canon (official =/= canon). They’re written by the same people who did the manga and only approved by Nintendo, which the mangas also are. It has it’s fair share of inconsistencies. OoT Link and Zelda have sweet moments together that sets them up for building a relationship. As Sheik eloquently puts it, “Time passes, people move. Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection.” Plus, they have their destiny and ancestors that bind them together forever. Malon x Link don’t have any of that. People who headcanon them usually had a crush on Malon themselves or think that Link deserves a “quiet life”, which is also a self fulfilling wish. It’s similar to the people who ship Sidon x Link. They self insert, rather than following through with the story. Nintendo wants people to come up with their own narrative, which is why we have the open world games now. You can interact with as much or as little with the story as you’d like. It’s completely valid. But Link and Zelda are canonically the couple since the 80s.

i don't agree with twilight princess only because, isn't link 17? as to keep in line with the "links are always under 18 technically" rule? and i thought zelda was also an adult so that would make it a little strange lol. but i don't think her age was officially confirmed or anything, probably just dubbed as 'young adult'.

[@akward4210]

@@chibimena Just to further back your stance on OoT ZeLink, a couple things: 1. Glad you brought up the fact that TP Link is the only Hylian in Ordon Village, not many fans realize this; he couldn't have originated there, but we don't then otherwise know where he came from. He could still be descended from royalty as even in real life, there are plenty of people who are descended from royalty who fell into obscurity due to their ancestors not being close enough to inherit any royal title. The Hero's Shade (also assuming he is OoT Link; only Hyrule Historia outright says this, not the games) does refer to a common bloodline between him and TP Link, but it doesn't necessarily mean that TP Link and OoT Link are direct descendants; they could just have familial relations. 2. There really are a lot of scenes in OoT that show how much of a connection OoT Link and Zelda had that I think get overlooked. As you mentioned, their interactions while Zelda is Sheik consistently shows Link trying to get closer her, and Sheik only leaves because she can't reveal herself yet, almost like she knows that Link can sense her. While Lake Hylia fills up after the Water Temple, however, Link stares out at the lake, but Sheik can only gaze at Link, as if she doesn't want to leave just yet. A scene that I think really indicates that OoT Link cared about Zelda in a deeper way to me at least is actually in his interaction with Ruto in the Chamber of Sages. When Ruto states "You're are looking for the Princess, Zelda?", she follows with a "Ha! You can't hide anything from me!". We know that Ruto is in love with Link, and it is a common trope in romance stories that someone who has a crush on someone else can tell if their crush has feelings for someone different, so I think this is a subtle way of the game suggesting that Link has feelings for Zelda. Ruto then reassures that Zelda is alive because she can "sense it" (I think she knew Sheik was Zelda) and tells Link to not be discouraged, suggesting that Link was feeling discouraged specifically because he hadn't found Zelda yet. Ruto ends the conversation by then telling Link "If you see Sheik, please give him my thanks, Ok?" This, I believe, is her finally giving up on Link by urging him to talk to Sheik (Zelda).

[@samuelhamrick2235]

I agree with most of the list, but I don't get the rationale behind putting the kissers in "probably" while the childhood friends are in "definitely;" just because people are friends doesn't mean they're going to develop romantic feelings for each other, but a kiss is a romantic act in and of itself.

Yeah, in what world is hand-holding more romantic than a kiss?

[@drdca8263]

Strictly speaking, kisses are not always romantic. Even kisses between non-family-members are not always romantic. But in context yeah, pretty clearly romantic.

[@Scuttlest]

Regarding Four Sword Zelda, I'm fairly certain the Zelda from the original Four Sword (the extra game was was in the cartridge of LtTP on the GBA) and the Zelda from Four Swords Adventure (the Gamecube game) are two different Zeldas. Because there's a huge gap between the two games according to the official timeline. Four Sword was chronologically the third Zelda (occuring after Skyward Sword and Minish Cap) while Four Swords Adventure officially occurs after the timeline split of Ocarina of Time in the Child Timeline. So while Four Swords Adventure Zelda, as you noted, does have romantic sounding dialogue, it doesn't directly determine if the original Four Sword Zelda looked at Link the same way. I actually reviewed Four Swords two scenes with Zelda just now (the opening and the ending), in that game she does seem to be someone Link knows as she brought him with her to investigate the shrine, but there really isn't a single line that indicates what their relationship is. (Is Link her friend? Bodyguard? The game doesn't specify anything like that.) My comment's a year late, but hey, you've been blessed by the algorithm.

[@DanTheMan-n5p]

BRO, hecken minish cap!? core memory unlocked.

[@ScottE-2]

I don't agree with your placement of Ocarina of Time's Zelda. They absolutely would if the circumstances let it. She'd better fit the Probably tier since she probably would have given how cheerful she is when meeting with Link and showing her some funny masks as child link. There is also during the Adult Timeline when she tries her best to help him out as Sheik. But most importantly, during the castle collapse sequence, after finishing a section she will give you a bunch of hearts after saving her. This sort of thing is also seen in Twilight Princess between Yeto and Yeta's embrace. Then there's the screams Zelda herself makes when seeing Link get hurt during the fight with Ganon, a small detail many I think miss.

[@Fixti0n]

Tetra from WW it is cannon that she and Link became a thing. Sure they hang out a lot of go trough a lot, but WW Zelda/Tetra is the only Zelda that canonically has kids, because in Spirit Tracks, the Zelda there is a descendant of the WW Zelda. Still not solid proof, but by proses of elimination, all her other crew mates are accounted for with descendants of their own, except Niko who shows up to dump lore on you.

[@Cretaceous158]

There is evidence that WW Link never got with anyone. Niko has Link's family heirloom, the Minish Cap shield, which WW Link inherited.

[@Llortnerof]

@@Cretaceous158 That doesn't necessarily mean anything. The games are a long time apart, many things can happen, especially with the entire Kingdom moving to a new land. On the other hand, since the Hero's soul doesn't exist in that timeline, it doesn't really matter anyway. There is no need for the two Links to even be related.

[@Cretaceous158]

@@LlortnerofI mistook the shield of antiquity for the Hero’s shield, so my statement was somewhat incorrect.

[@LtBasil]

Just because we don't know who they got together with doesn't mean that the other Zeldas didn't have kids. In fact, I'd be willing to wager that most of them _did,_ seeing as Zelda is usually portrayed as being an only child, and yet the royal family is still around.

[@Fixti0n]

@@Cretaceous158 I can see the point, however, it might just have been that Link wouldn't want to lock that shield up in the royal vault, since he was the prince consort his heirlooms would be royal heirlooms. So he gave it to Niko so he could give it to someone who would have need of it, so it could defend someone, like it was ment to do.

[@Stormrunner1981]

I know this is like a year later - but Link's Adventure Link (Zelda 2), you actually can read the book and thus are the future King...so..good thing that sleeping Zelda likes him

I suspect Tetra and Link from Windwaker formed a couple with descendants. A hint in that sense is the personality of Zelda in Spirit Tracks, because she is more similar in personality to Link of Windwaker than to Tetra.

I feel like "absolutely not" should have been "probably not". And "probably not" should have been "maybe". Like, "They didn't interact a lot" doesn't mean they'll never end up together.

One of my biggest annoyances with Link is: Not only does practically every major female NPC fall head over heals for him (and some male ones, too, even if in more of a best buds/sworn brother kind of way), he seems almost incapable of acknowledging those feelings. I kind of get it's part of the whole "player as Link" blank slate, but it's kind of irksome that the player doesn't really get the choice in that case, or that Link just kind of acts confused, surprised, or (in Telma's case) grossed out. The one time they give the player the option to choose to profess love to a character is the Item Check girl in SS and even if you click all of the dialogue options to affirm your interest, she brushes it off as politeness. It's one reason why I'm glad TotK all but confirms a relationship between Link and Zelda.

[@darkyami12141]

I still liked to believe that Zelda and Link fall under the “reincarnated lovers” trope. They don’t always get together but they’re so intertwined that it’s inevitable that they do more than once And unpopular opinion, Twilight Princess Zelink is my favorite mostly because I was first introduced to the Zelda characters/franchise through Melee and Brawl, and after playing Subspace Emissary I really loved their interactions together. Followed after that, Twilight Princess was my first Zelda game and while they don’t interact much, their interactions always feel so genuine and intimate (not necessarily romantic) but it’s clear they have a sense of trust and respect for each other. Also, I do wanna mention at the end of the game in the post credits you do see Link leaving Ordon. So who knows, there’s an off chance that maybe, just maybe they got to interact with each other post game

[@a5impleGuy]

Agreed

[@cloudkitsune17]

While I can see Spirit Tracks Zelda and Link getting together, there is also a possibility they are related, *if* the Zelda and Link from Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass got together and had kids--because the Link we play as in Spirit Tracks *is* WW Link's son, and same goes with Tetra's offspring in the princess.

[@Taygon45]

I . . . disagree about Twilight Princess. I know they don't have that much of a bond, but I would be lying if I didn't think they would bond over losing Midna. Especially knowing they had to walk all the way back to Hyrule with the destined to be apart lovers goodbye Midna gave Link. I without a single doubt believe Zelda would try to comfort him after being witness to that. And maybe after a long time, after Link comes to terms with Midna being gone, does he and Zelda maybe connect. Do I believe it 100%? No. But do I think it's possible? Yes. Even in OOT Zelda loved him in the adult timeline. Fate just wasn't on their side. Also I do not think Link gets with Illia. I think that was more a childhood tether that he needs to let go in order to become a hero. WHAT?! Hyrule Warriors' entire plot revolved around the fact that Zelda and Link loving each other! The reason that Cia even becomes a villain is because she witnesses all of the timelines of Hyrule and falls in love with Link, only to grow jealous of Zelda, which kinda throws this entire list out the window because that kinda means that even if they can't be together doesn't mean they don't want to be.

[@a5impleGuy]

Good point man, I believe too that is possible link stay with Zelda after midna gone, I don't see they as a romantically couple, yes they are cute together, but they are better friends after all. Personally, if don't go with midna our Zelda, link stay with llia. Preferences to link stay with anyone: 1° Llia 2° Zelda 3° Midna

They did. Rumor guy says albw Zelda looks at the pictures yearningly, wishing she had the same relationship the Hero of Legend and the princess had, so it is very much canon! (Plus LA's Marin, who is literally the manifestation of Link's wish to be closer with Zelda, hence why she looks identical to her) On OoT, I think they loved each other in the adult timeline, but because of the trauma, and knowing child timeline Zelda wasn't technically the same person as adult timeline Zelda, Link never got together with her. They are shown to care very deeply. Stand proud, fellow Zelinker. Your ship is objectively correct.

The Malon x Link in OoT theory is a ship that I find way too universally accepted with very little basis. I find it hard to believe that an optional side quest girl with no real relation to Link’s struggles and story becomes at all relevant just because TP Link starts off in a farm. This false relation could also apply to the Hero’s Shade’s arena being Hyrule Castle. It’s a place that is important to him even more than Lon Lon Ranch, if he valued the ranch and his “wife,” then would it not be Lon Lon Ranch as it appeared in OoT? I won’t ask you to take this point seriously, I’m simply trying to show that you can either pass something off as a coincidence or evidence, but simply dismissing Zelda x Link just because there are a grand total of two (ranch and Epona) references that cause fans to point to Malon x Link doesn’t make it more credible. But, I bet that before I can convince anyone that Link x Zelda is canon in OoT, I can first convince you that Malon x Link is not. The strongest piece of evidence that supports Link x Malon is how TP Link from a ranch village and his horse’s name is Epona. I already take issue with this theory because there is arguably MORE evidence pointing to that TP Link doesn’t come from Ordon. TP Link (in the manga) comes from a unit of Hyrule knights in training. He runs away after some key story events and ends up in Ordon by coincidence. It also explains why Link is the only pointed ear Hylian out of a village of rounded eared humans. You don’t have to accept the manga as cannon, but you would still have to try and explain why Link is the only pointed ear Hylian in a village completely inhabited by round ear humans. Without the manga, one would still logically infer that he didn’t come from the ranch village. The only reason I can see why anyone would make the stretch that Link was born and raised as a rancher is to better advertise Link x Malon. This doesn’t make it more likely, just more convenient as a way to pass off Malon x Link.

Ok this is one of the best ZeLink videos I've seen in a while good job! I also I have a lot to comment about each ship so here you go: Spirit Tracks: Ok so THANK YOU for putting this ship above Skyward Sword. A lot of people put Skyward Sword ZeLink above Spirit Tracks and while that ship is cute, Spirit Tracks actually has Zelda accompany Link on his journey and you get to see how they go from awkwardly smiling when meeting each other for the first time, to developing a close friendship and (possibly) a romance. Ocarina/Majora: Ok so I'm kind of split between this one. I personally ship Link with Malon but after reading the manga and watching "Hero's purpose," I'm not against the idea of them ending up together after Majora's Mask. Link to the past: While this ZeLink is cute in the manga, Marin exists. That's all I need to say A Link Between Worlds: I'm with you. Ravio and Hilda have way better chemistry than Link and Zelda in this game. Also I ship Link with Irene. BOTW/TOTK: I'm also with you on this one. I like Mipha and Link more than Link and Zelda pre-calamity but after Calamity, I can see them together. Twilight Princess: Yes, ZeLink makes no sense here and they're a lot more professional in this game, but you forgot my girl MIDNA! Midna's a lot more interesting than Illia, and Midna actually is with Link through out most of the game. Also Link and Midna kiss in the manga (I know it's not canon but I don't care). That's all I got to say :)

[@andyblargextra]

I'm glad you agree with most of my placements. Yes Skyward Sword is a "given" but Spirit Tracks does feel better developed.

It's been a minute since I played that game, maybe I'm totally off base, but I've always seen them as pretty solidly a couple. And yeah, Ilia is probably who Link's going to settle for in TP, but you know he's heart only really belonged to Midna.

z1 link has to get with either one of them, as in the manual it's stated he's the future king. since he can read some weird ass scroll lol. i assume, since zelda is much older than him in zelda 2, he gets with the first zelda. they seem to be the same age (children, it's canon link was 10 in the first LOZ) and he would've known her for longer, so it's probably likely. i honestly see the kiss before the credits as a typical peach/mario "thank you for saving me" thing. other than that this video was pretty based (besides some lore errors like oot)

[@murmirr]

and on a link between worlds, i'm for zelda and hilda. hilda is talking to her and confides in her the whole entire game, and zelda listens. and even after she betrays her, zelda still pities her and wants to save her world. and sure you could argue that's just because they're for the force of good or whatever, but they have more interaction technically than any other characters in the whole game.

[@lordnul1708]

Here's the tiers I would have gone with, along with some examples (although instances of it being canonically the same link and zelda will be considered as one pairing). "Practically confirmed": Skyward Sword, maybe BotW/TotK (moreso TotK given that Link's house in BotW is now called Zelfa's house, the tavle is set for two and Link can sleep in her bed despite only being able to sleep in beds that he either owns or rented for the night) and arguably Spirit Tracks in the "puppy love" sense "Believable and likely, but not confirmed": Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass, Hyrule Warriors (I know it's a spinoff, don't care), Minish Cap. And yes, Hyrule Warriors does belong here since the reason why Cia was mad about not being able to get with Link was because he was "fated to only have eyes for another" which is straight up implied to be HW Zelda during the cutecene where the ultimate premise is revealed (yes, the rest of the game doesn't do anything to follow through with that, but they were pretty vlack and white about it). "Maybe": A Link Between Worlds (there's a hidden portrait that Zelda onsesses over, that depicts a previous hero with the princess if her time). "Believable, but debunked" Ocarina of Time "Unlikely, but not decondirmed": Zelda II Adventure of Link "Not only will it never happen, there isn't even any potential for anything to happen even in a parallel universe where they weren't outright debunked": Twilight Princess, OG Zelda
