Yes, I understand where you come from. The series is indeed not based on reality, but what I meant by that is in TP Midna breaks the mirror so she can't come back to Link's world. If you remember, when Ilia got her memory back, she told Link that she would wait for him when he finished saving Hyrule, so I would assume that he would go back to his home village if he has no other place to go. I like the Zelda pairing as well, just because I detest the LinkxMidna thing.

As for Majora's Mask, the ranch girl was my ideal choice because she's pretty much the only choice, since Zelda does not really appear in that game.

And for OoT, well....I suppose it could be Zelda, too. But suppose TP Link was a descendent of OoT Link (I'm not a theorist by any means, but hypothetically), what better chance of him being a rancher then if his parents were ranchers as well....meaning MalonxLink. Of course, it could have worked differently altogether, say if Zelda abandoned her throne and went with Link to a small farming village. Anything could happen. Heck, there might not even be a connection at all for all I know. But as you said, Zelda games aren't based on reality, correct? ^_^
