The Hero & His Princess

[Marle]

WOO. I finally can make this club! Thank you, wonderful mods. <3

Ahem, anyways.

So, this here thread will be dedicated to the lovliness that is the relationship between Princess Zelda and the hero, Link from the Legend of Zelda series. Liking their relationship in any way, shape or form is welcomed! Especially since their relationship tends to take a different route within each installment. Join!

[Marle]

inorite?! I'll be spamming fanart once I get home, too! And AMVs and songs and...etc.

 

[Ⓐaron]

I will attempt to participate in this. Not sure how successful I'll be as I still haven't played or completed most of the games since OOT.

 

[Vendel]

Ugh....this thread reminds me that I haven't beaten a single Zelda game yet. Not even the OG with the gold cartridge.

 

[Kikyou]

What's stopping you?
ALSO I WANT TO JOIN IN SINCE THIS IS ONE OF MY ZELDA OTPS

 

[Ryushikaze]

Is it Just me, or Does Zelda look REALLY Loli compared to Link in this one?

And because of the mask, all I can think of is 'Angry Sex' even though it doesn't fit the image.

L/Z is a great pair... when it's actually a pair. It is not an always ship.

Incidentally, OoT and MM are one of the times I don't think it happened. I get the idea he went with Malon and became a Knight (Hence, Gold Wolf) and produced TP link rather than shack with Zelda.

Also, the way way old Zelda comics where she was his elder sister. That's a no no.
But the TV show is a very yes.

Also, this club should be renamed "Excuse me, Princess" ASAP.

I assumed there were two timelines that split around OoT: when he left to go onto Majora's Mask and produced the timeline of WW and the TP timeline where he stayed in Hyrule.

I assumed there were two timelines that split around OoT: when he left to go onto Majora's Mask and produced the timeline of WW and the TP timeline where he stayed in Hyrule.

The timeline split actually has to do with young link/ Old Link times. The Old Link timeline where Link is sent back to childhood continues to make the WW timeline (Visiting Hyrule castle in WW has indications to this effect), and in the post game child timeline, they manage to head Ganondorf off at the pass and they ship him off to the desert prison where killing him doesn't quite go as planned.

IIRC, Majora is in the timeline that leads to TP and most of the rest of the games.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's Minish- Skyward- OoT, then splitting into the WW timeline and everything else.

Well, the game mentioned that the hero of time had fought Ganon and then disappeared and I therefore assumed this was due to the fact that he was stuck in Terminus since the end of MM did not imply he was ever able to make it back. I had assumed that TP was part of the OoT timeline because of the skeleton who implies he was OoT Link.

Spoiler: Also Tetra and Link is best Zelink and all who disagree will walk the plank.

Yeah, but in the Child Link Timeline, Link never fought ganon as far as anyone else is concerned. They caught him before anything happened.
Also, the MM ending had him travelling back through the same forest he was in from the beginning, no? And doesn't TP skullkid make remarks alluding to Majora?

No objections there. TV Zelink comes close.

 

[Marle]

WTF happened while I was gone? Anyone else wanting to join?

I adore Zelink in every game, regardless of the fact that it isn't always as romantic as certain games, such as OoT and whatnot. Except for the sister thing...that's creepy.

I always thought that none of the Links and Zeldas were ever the same in every game('cept MM and OoT). But, that is my naive mind. Still, I care not and ship them regardless. They're such a classic game pairing that I can't help but always assume everything they do together is romantic.

Don't get me wrong; that doesn't mean I believe they get hitched in every game and have babies. Although a good fanfiction fixes all of that. Still, you don't have to see their relationship as romantic to join.

Now. Fanart time.

Spoiler

Also, awesome AMV I stumbled upon.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

I just recall the end of MM had Link, Skullkid, Tatl and uh whatever her bro was named on that special friendship stump and so I assumed that meant that Link stayed behind with his new friends in Termina.

Not to mention he got free boobhugs from Cremia. Who gives that up?

But I don't recall ever seeing Link in the ending of MM, so I don't remember him traveling back (obviously.) And I really don't remember TP as well cause I apparently lost the game. SO IDK AT ALL

 

[Marle]

I want to spam more fanart D<

Spoiler

LOL

I dunno why I love this one so much. <3

Can't wait for Zelda's appearance in Skyword Sword!

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

that is so weird, because I DID remember Epona but up until now I never realized Link was in the end at all. What is up with that.

 

[Marle]

I wasn't sure myself because I haven't played that game since I was like, nine. So I looked it up.

Sadly, I haven't played many of the Zelda titles.

Only OoT, MM, TP, and ST. Mainly because a lot of them came out while I was still a kid and couldn't buy them myself.

I'm trying to get my hands on WW but it's like, fifty bucks used. D: I'll probably also end up buying PH. And OoT on the 3DS. I'm pre-ordering just to get the poster from EB...

I'm such a fangirl.

 

[Ryushikaze]

LOL

So, that's obviously Spirit Tracks Zelda at top, TP Zelda on the statue, Child OoT Zelda snacking in the center, and LttP Zelda chopping chocolate... but who is the one making hearts? Adventures of Link Zelda?

Apart from Zelda and Maybe Impa (Very Maybe) at the upper right, I am at a loss as to who each of these might be.

And Yeah, Link left Termina at the end. It was tough leaving boobhugs from Cremia behind, but he knew Malon's would be just as epic.

 

[Marle]

So, that's obviously Spirit Tracks Zelda at top, OoT older Zelda on the statue, Child OoT Zelda snacking in the center, and LttP Zelda chopping chocolate... but who is the one making hearts? Twilight Princess Zelda.

I love how every Link is looking at the Zelda he is familar with.

Yeah, I don't get the second one, either. I think it was just an excuse to dress Zelda up in different ways and smother Link.

 

[Ryushikaze]

But the hair is way too dark on the right, and the outfit on the one by the statue is far more in line with TP styles.

Spoiler: TP Zelda

Blonde highlights, splayed hair in the back, and her tails are too short and not tied. If that is TP Zelda, they really didn't do her justice.

You need an excuse?

 

[Marle]

I dunno, I always thought TP Zelda was the most 'brunette' of all the Zelda's. So that's why I always assume the darker haired Zelda would be TP Zelda. I could be wrong, though. No idea. :\

Also, I know that WW Zelink is popular, but does anyone else have a personal fave of the couple?

Seeing as how OoT was my first, the Zelink in it has a special place in my heart <3 However, TP Zelink just plain look smokin' together, despite the lack of actual romance in the game. Shallow, who me?

Well, here's another pic spam. Until we get some further news on Skyward Sword.
