Actually, he probably could. But why would he? In all their tiny bits of chemistry, she's never acted ONCE like she liked him ROMANTICALLY. Neither he her. For Malon, anything associated with her communicated shelter, gentleness, and yes, a teasing love of Link. Zelda was always shoving Link towards his destiny, and things associated with her were wreathed in despair. Zelda is a friend. Malon...well, she's an unsolved mystery. I'd go with Malon, definitely. Her or nobody. But a Zelda + Link in OoT is totally implausible.


If Link married Zelda in OoT it would make him famous in Hyrule (Since he would become King of Hyrule and all...). This would create a problem with TWW where the King is still looking for the Hero of Time. That is why I say that it is improbable that they marry in OoT.

About Link and Zelda's romance in OoT... Are you sure you want to get into that? I can show you some "evidence" if you want to.

As for Malon. No matter how much you like her, Link still doesn't show ANY feelings towards her. Yes, Malon loves Link. But we know that Ruto does as well. And maybe Saria... (I'm not mentioning Zelda yet) So that doesn't mean anything.

Is it? TP has not yet arrived in stores and it takes place (yay) DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. I think we're going to get our answers very soon. Maybe Link showed up and was never remembered because he didn't save Hyrule in the traditional way. As we all know...he sunk it.


Ah, yes. TP might very well be the flood (I hope so), but TWW still says that the Hero did not appear. Therefore the box contradicts the game.

The "legend" in WW also portrays Ganon as a pig-monster, something Link in WW, (look at his expression,) was rather surprised to learn was not true. And the Triforce was upside down, called a "Golden Power" by even the most knowledgable, and "Triumph Forks," by even the most reputable. The legend in WW is NOT 100% accurate. After all no one knows what happened to Hyrule, (in the legend,) so a lot of their stuff is off.

Damn you, I was all geared up to show my support for Link x Malon, and then Anju and Kafei had to be in there. CHEATER!
Might as well have put the spinning couple in there.. I mean.. they're so in love, they SPIN! and... Insult Link when he bugs them!

Mikau and Lulu. I thought they made a cute couple, and Mikau was a dude.

Kafei's there, as an adult, they just don't show him because they were too lazy to program him in. They show Anju from Kafei's point of view, remember, at the same height.

All the Link's are related, due to in game evidence - ALttP says that the legendary hero is always of the kinghts bloodline. This doesn't mean they're necessarily descended from each other, but they do at least have common ancestors.

Link and Marin. Forever.

Oh....hm. Never considered that option bout Kafei. Then why does the camera pan up from Anju's feet? And switch to the above view with Tingle? Hmmmm...

I think that theory's wacked.

Well, since we're on the subject, I'll just give my own theories about everything, just like everyone else, starting with Link's flame in OOT. There's basically 5 choices. Zelda, Saria, Ruto, Nabooru, and Malon. Now, for all fo you out there who say Link doesn't have to marry anyone, I beg to differ. Although all of the subsequent Links might not have directly descended from each other, i think it's a safe bet to say that they were all descended from the oot link. Now, Zelda first. It is possible, by a stretch of the imagination, to see Link and Zelda together. Jsut because he married her doesn't mean he would become king. (britain, for example) However, we know that all later Zeldas are descended from this one, so if they did get married, there would have to be another split somewhere down the line whereone branch of the family became knights, and the other was royal. So, I think it's safe to say Zelda couldn't be the one Link married. Saria is an obvious failure; she stays a child for her whole life. Besides, I'm not sure if Hylians and Kokiri actually could have kids. Ruto is a Zora, and none of the later Link's display any Zora characteristics. Nabooru is a definite possibility, however, she is a bit old for Link, and there's not much evidence of Gerudo ancestry in later Links, something which you'd think would show, although, depending on the number of generations between Link's the evidences might have been erased. That leaves Malon, who gets my award for being the most likely choice. She's a Hylian, isn't a princess, and Link rescues her from Ingo. Add to that the potentially apocryphal (look it up if you don't know what it means) report I read somewhere that in the original ending to OOT Link and Malon rode away into the sunset on Epona. So there's my feelings on that subject. Now, As for the relation between Rauru and the King of Rd Lions, I think we might have something there. Maybe Rauru was the brother of the king in OOT, or related somehow . . .

Personally, ever since I saw that funny thing by Legendary Frog on newgrounds, I think Ganon and Nabooru would be so cute. It's unexpected, and everybody usually just passes them over, but they can have love, too, ya know! Now, it would be really funny if Ganon cried over her like in the skit.

Well, look at it this way. According to your logic, this guy is related to this guy. I doubt that for some reason...

They both look Hyrulian and old but not all that similar. Having said that, who knows, maybe the Sage Rauru was one part of the Royal family the same way Zelda is a Sage and part of the Royal family.

Quote

So you are saying that you have never had a strange dream featuring your family? We know that some of the things in LA are from Link's dream, his uncle could be one of them. But it doesn't matter anyway. Marin's connection to Zelda is obvious since she both looks and sounds like her (the game says so). That is what I care about in this debate.

I've never had a dream where the love interest was my family, no. This is really going off topic though. There is an interview with Miyamoto about Marin that you might be interested in as it explains a lot about her. I can't remember where it is, but the point was that Marin was the dream equivalent of Zelda.

Quote

That is a serious contradiction.

But that's not just a contradction of the box. If you look at one of the quotes in aLttP game it says that someone from the knights bloodline will come when the royal family is in trouble. Hence, it seems to me that there was a Link in WW BS but he didn't succeed in saving Hyrule from being flooded - in fact it's possible that he helped in getting the Goddesses to flood it in the first place.

Husse said

Wow. You're right. O.O

So...If Mario and Luigi were the gags behind Talon and Ingo...what's Tarin n' Link's uncle?

Malon and Talon were actually based on Marin and Tarin from LA. Tarin seems to be based on Links Uncle from aLttP, and Links Uncle has some similar characteristics to Mario. I think Ingo was added for comical effect to make the Easter Egg more clear.

Quote

Now wait a minute. Alttp was made with NO inclination to such a complicated theory. Matter of fact, OoT wasn't even concieved at the time. Even if the two look similar, that has nothing to do with Link and Malon. I think they should be together too, based on personality, but there's nothing to support it in this weird idea of yourn.

My point was that by process of elimination it seems Malon is the best choice for Link (due to many of the ladies ending up as sages and being of incompatable backgrounds). Hence, I pick Malon from the start. The fact that Malons father looks a lot like Links Uncle in the future could be an added tribute to aLttP - who knows. As I said before, it's just a thought and not a concrete proof.

Quote

Yup. Don't trust the boxes. Most people believe LoZ came after Alttp nowadays anyway.

The aLttP box also suggests LoZ comes after aLttP so there's no problem with trusting boxes. You can't decide to trust manuals and not boxes - If I'm not mistaken, they are written by the same people.

Well, they also both look like the Old Man from LoZ... And so does Sahasrahla. Nintendo just like to re-use characters.

The latest translation of the Japanese version of ALttP only says that Link came because of the "Great Catastrope". It never says that the Hero appears every time danger treathens the Royal Family. Besides, TWW still says different.

And the fact that this hypothetical scene was replaced with the scene where Link goes to meet Zelda doesn't indicate anything to you? ;)

not really . . . it is, after all, just a repeat of the same thing happening earlier on in the game . . . and I believe it would've worked if they'd inserted the scene after the party before the scene with zelda in the clouds (Or have I got the order wrong . . . I can't remember the it right now)

Nintendo still didn't have any plot reason to put it there. In fact, Zelda herself said that they had to say god-bye "when peace returns to Hyrule". But Link apparently wanted to be with her since he went there anyway, and stayed with her until MM started.

It would go against the entire point of OoT's ending (that Link returned in time). And Nintendo chose to not put it there for a reason.

Actually, there was a plot point to it. It showed that Link returned, not to his forest, (hence the reason for Navi leaving at all,) and went to live in the castle, accepting that he was a Hylian. Whether he went to live with Zelda as a friend or something more will always be a mystery, and frankly, it isn't important. The story was about a little boy finding his purpose and saving the world. Kinda about him growing up in a way. There was no reason for a romance...besides he's 10 freaking years old, I think that would be a little eeeeeeeehh...

What I meant was that Link and Malon would ride off before link went back in time, then zelda would send him back in time, and, like Husse said,show that he went to live at hyrule castle/town afterwards. I mean, he became basically the foremost knight of Hyrule, so to me it would make sense that he and zelda would continue to be friends.

HAH yah noob, this rumour just started out by some person who photoshopped the whole idea!
There is actually an article saying that the beta version did had a kissing scene of Link and Zelda. And that was stated by "Ocarina of time special issue" You can download the comic at other magazines.

then another thing is..
this was shown in an article of how akira himekawa how they make the manga in progress.

step 1. basically, eiji and his staff get
together and look over the story they have and develope
side characters, a stronger plot and such


2. They do a first sketch with simple doodles
but the main point is to get the story down

3. they call the others at a university to
gether people and get their idea's through. Sometimes they
come up with more ideas, which make it interesting. But the
point in this is to get the idea's of the artwork across

4. basically, they get the big "ok" from nintendo
and begin to draw the sketches for the actual thing.


5. they ink the sketches. Their drawings are
sent to proffessionals that do the inking... and its quite
hard to learn, so it says.

So it's easy to say Nintendo prefers LinkxZelda if you noticed that too in the manga.

Plus they are the cutest couple since TLOZ.

well...when I really got into reading about LoZ stories and that, an entire site made a history timeline and said that Link and Malon got married and lived in Hyrule for another 60 years. Then it said that Lon Lon Ranch got bankrupt and fled Hyrule and moved to Termina. Personally, I think that it's a load of dung. And secondly, I didn't know exactly who to vote for but when you think about it, Link's a player. He's got all the young girls of Hyrule after him. Like Saria, Ruto, Malon, Zelda...need I say more?

Heh, maybe they are in the same universe. The Mario posters are up in Hyrule Castle because he's a Hyrulian legend. That's why Lakitus and such can be seen in Zelda games.

God, that would suck. D'you think Nintendo would ever go down that route? The whole Tingle RPG thing's got me sufficiently paranoid...

that was... interesting. i'll have to go see if i can do that in my MM.

wasn't there another gossip stone which said that link is just malon's type? there are a number of hints at LinkxMalon, and relatively few for LinkxZelda- i personally believe that nintendo was trying to pull away from that, for that one game at least.

Personally, i voted for Anju and Kafei. Call me an idiot, but i think there's something very touching about their situation, and their endings. The reason we never see Adult Kafei is that a N64 playermodel takes about 2 days to make, and another 3/4 day to skin, or so i've been told. This depends on the modeller (it takes a while to make lowpoly models, as i know from hard expirience. 3Dmax is spoiling people), but MM was under severe time constraints.
