I think someone did this on the old LA. Anyway there has been some debate about who Link should romance. It's usually Malon vs. Zelda, so the other poll options are for people who want to be different (especially the Ingo one).

Did I read right? Ingo? Ew!!!! While you were at it, why didn't you put up that one Carpenter (I can't remember which one he was) that said to Link, "You're a cute kid." (If that isn't homoeroticism, I don't know what is).
Seriously though, I'd much prefer it if Link wouldn't pair up with someone. I prefer it if Link had an impossibly large number of girlfriends, none of whom he can marry for fear of breaking the heart of the others. They could be all psychotically obsessive. That's what I like about Link. He has too many girlfriends to know what to do with them, some of which could be said as being "rabid".

Depends on which Link you're talking about.
OoT/MM Link: Malon
TWW Link: Tetra or Medli
LoZ/AoL Link: Zelda
OoS/OoA Link: Din
ALttP/LA Link: Marin
FS/FSA Link: Zelda
All my opinion, of course.
OoT/MM Link: Malon
TWW Link: Tetra or Medli
LoZ/AoL Link: Zelda
OoS/OoA Link: Din
ALttP/LA Link: Marin
FS/FSA Link: Zelda
All my opinion, of course.

Well, TWW Link/Tetra is definite. Who doesn't want that? 
OoT Link shouldn't really be with anyone; he should forever be a wanderer. Although in one of my crappy fan fics, I had him post-OoT and MM and wanting to find Zelda, but afraid it would screw up the timeline so he kenw he couldn't do it.
AoL Link and Zleda kiss at the end, so there's that. LttP/Oracle/LA I've always imagined single, liking Zelda as a sister. FS/MC Link should... I dunno. We don't really know that much about him.

Well, I picked Malon and I assume it is Link from OoT. I also hope you mean as an adult. If that is so, I hope no one picks Saria!

Sucks to be you, don't it Ganny?
Posted 17 September 2004 - 06:06 PM
Well, in ALttP, he should not get married to anyone.
I don't know much about the Oracle or Four Swords Links...
Sadly, as plasticine as it is, the LoZ, and AoL Link is in love with, of course, Zelda...
OoT and MM? Malon.
WW? But of course! Tetra. This is the only time when it seems like a Link Zelda relationship would be happy. (LoZ, Aol: cliche')
Overall, I'd say Malon, because she fits him best out of all of these, and I tend to like the Link in OoT and MM's personality as a married man better.

That's how I've always pictured the Hero of Time. But if I had to place him with anyone, it'd be Malon.

I vote for Marin simply because the first time I played LA I didn't want to actually wake up the windfish since that would end the blosssoming relationship. Malon makes a pretty good option but I don't think Zelda is right for Link since he is a knight and she is royalty. The two just don't match.

OoS/OoA Link: Din
ALttP/LA Link: Marin
Din is at least ten, if not more, years older than him. Marin turns into a seagull. That was her wish. She didn't wish to simply get away from Koholint, but to turn into a seagull. So, she turned into a seagull. Besides, if Link really loved her he wouldn't have tried to get away from Koholint.
I prefer it if Link had an impossibly large number of girlfriends, none of whom he can marry for fear of breaking the heart of the others.
No offense, but that would make him look like a dishonourable guy who don't mind cheating on his girlfriend.
Anyways, I don't think it's likely that the big N would pair him up with any other girl than Zelda. Miyamoto-san even stated once that if romance had been an important element in OoT it would have been between Link and Zelda. I also found this letter on a Zelda site:
CN: We have received several emails in which our readers ask: Will Zelda and Link ever be involved [romantically]? [laughs] I'm sorry, but we had to ask.
EA: [laughs] Good question. Well, as you already know, we are now dealing with a teenage Link, and as you know, teenagers are very emotional beings, so there are definitely possibilities of seeing Link showing his feelings towards the princess. But honestly, we don't know what the future holds.
See? He even stated that Link has feelings for the Princess. OK, it was Aonuma-san who answered, but his words are almost as official as those by Miyamoto-san. Besides, they will keep the feauture of Link being able to show emotions, so they might use that for more than just gameplay.
As for TWW Link, isn't it clear? The way that Link looks at Zelda before the final showdown. He blushes even when Beedle mentions Tetra. I also believe Nintendo put in clues, like at the end of the credits (that they will end up together in a romantic way is the only good explanation for that) and when Ganon says, 'I have taken your precious Zelda.'
As for Oracle Link, Zelda DO kiss him, and he DO blush, and hearts ARE popping up from his head, and he DO return to Hyrule (while Din stays in Holodrum). As Din is way too old the Zelda of that generation don't have any rivals.
Now, let move back to ALttP. Again, because Marin turns into a seagull and the fact that Link don't love her because he tries to get away from Koholint makes Zelda stand alone, with no rivals. Well, if we don't include the maidens of course, LOL.
And remember that this is a time when the Hylians have been drastically weakened, to a level where they aren't Hylians anymore. Ganon might have been destroyed, but new evils will come. Therefore, if Link doesn't marry Zelda and rules Hyrule by using the Triforce the Hylians will be forever gone and no new hero will appear. Then Hyrule will be doomed to eternal darkness.In AoL there are no doubt and in OoT the only true 'rivals' are a girl that cannot grow up and a ranch-girl that calls him faerie boy and only plays a minor role (she only gives you an egg and teach you a song you don't even need to complete the game, and then there's the cow of course, but that's neither important).
Some people think that what one of the Gossip Stones says about Malon dreaming of a knight in shiny armour coming and sweaping her off the ground is evidence. First of all, I believe it's there just to give her more personallities, secondly that was something 'every' girls dreamed of in those times. Would that mean that Link will end up with about every single Hylian girl in the whole Kingdom?
Maybe he should just marry one of these.
LOL, OK that was just a joke.

How is one kiss proof that AoL Link and Zelda belong together? They don't even know each other! And she's much older than him.
And Marin and Link do make a good pair, even if she's only imaginary. Her wish might have been to sing to people all over the world, but she loves Link too. In fact, it seems likely that she made another wish as well - she mentions her wish immediately after talking about her and Link, and wouldn't suddenly change tack to be talking about seagulls. Besides, she tells you that wish openly, earlier. This wish she is too embarrassed to mention.

I'm sorry but for OoT he should be with Saria. I personaly think that after everything is said and done they will always be the closest. but I really don't want him to get a girlfriend or whatever cuz then it would just turn into a re-made mario series and i just don't care much for the whole "We must go save the princess from bowser/ganon" thing.

Posted 19 September 2004 - 05:58 PM
That's why I picked Malon, but Zelda/Tetra obviously has strong ties to him in TWW.
And no, no, NO! Link is very good friends with Saria, obviously. No love! Besides, they can't "grow old together," she tells him they belong in different worlds, it seems he very nearly forgets about her, and...how is she gonna have children at that age? :twitch:
It's too gruesome to envision...

Yes! Another vote for Marin. I don't see why there aren't more since there was such an obvious romance throughout the game, the biggest suggestion of one coming from when you chat to her on the beach and when she joins you it says "is this your big chance?"

Ingo and Link were MADE for eachother.
I still want to see Nintendo do the biggest catfight in history. Zelda from LoZ vs. Zelda from TAoL for the Link in both games.

I say Saria. Link has known her for the most part of his life, and he's clearly already won her heart- she won't even look at Mido. Why bother going elsewhere?
mind you, the fact that she can't leave the forest would be a drag.

Also the fact that she would always stay as in child form. If you didn't realise that she was older than she looked and Link really did go for Saria, you'd probably think he was some kind of paedophillic (US. spelling - pedophillic) pervert.
I much prefer having Link a bachelor. That way, he won't disappoint any of the girls.

I guess I'm just old fashoned in the fact that Zelda and Link should be with each other. It's the whole 'she's royalty and unattainable' thing that I think Link would try to go for, you know, as a challenge. Malon is too easy lol. Just standing there on the farm all day helping her old man....waiting for someone to marry her.
But seriously. Yes Malon is more earthy and what not, but Zelda has much stronger ties to our favorite hero. There's obviously something there. Who would want their pet name to be 'fairy boy' anyway?
Poor Link...decisions decisions...
