Link is the hero of courage and thus he must be brave upon himself. I know from my own experience that it makes a big difference in ones own sense of bravery when there is someone waiting for you.
Plus Zelda is a strong woman and she, I would guess would let nothing get in the way of her sense of duty to her people. She would have to marry a noble born and our hero is common born and an Orphan to boot.
I am curious to what other think about this.

By someone waiting for him, who are we talking about? Malon, Saria etc...?
If it's one of those, Saria was eliminated, and Malon works great in theory, but Link paid no noticeable attention to her and that matters. I'd call Ilia more likely than the two of them, but Link actually seemed to return it in her case, and didn't even know Zelda.
I agree both of them are bound by duty..but their duties both involve the same common goal..the betterment of Hyrule. Put them together and you'd have a King and Queen who truly love their nation and would sacrifice anything for it...them NOT being together seems the less beneficial solution, IMO.
In terms of Zelda being nobility? In most of the games, that matters nothing. It's fantasy...not reality. If Link can be engaged to the Zora Princess, I think he'd be able to marry Zelda too.
