Well, I actually meant that his character can be interpreted anyway. That he is purposely left open-ended so that neither you nor I are right or wrong in our interpretation of him.

Funny enough, as long as Zelda is Shiek (a guy) Link tries to get near to him at every meeting. But as soon as Shiek is revealed to be Zelda, he makes no attempt to get close to her

Because parents are more away of books and movies and can regulate. but a lot of parents don't even think about video games like that. Personally, I don't read those books, I don't watch those movies, and I wont play those games. even if its Zelda.

AM i the only person that thinks LinkxTetra is the most sensible hero princess pairing(forget about Midna for a second) in the whole series

Thats the point I have been trying to make all along. And its more canon than fanfiction. Seriously though, I'm aware of the avatar concept that its up to the player to decide if Link is gay or heterosexual. But IMO this only applies as a matured adult in the Child Timeline. Whether people want to accept it or not, OOT Link never was a sexually mature man throughout the entire quest. Even Zelda HERSELF acknowledges that Link is a little boy in heart and mind. Not to mention that the 7 years lost maturity is the ONLY reason why Link is sent back to the Child Timeline in the first place.

I think using the avatar concept as an excuse to read too deeply into things that are simply not there that actually contradicts what is actually happening in the game is just plain silly. And I still think that its undeniable canon that OOT Link was in essence just a lonely little boy, even as an adult, who only craved social acceptance and friendship that had nothing to do with romance or anything associated with sexual yearnings. So in a future Zelda game, Link will have to be portrayed as a man instead of a pure hearted little boy or a shy teenager unsure of his own sexuality IMO.

Well Miyamoto did say ZWII link is older

But i think Tetra and Link have a bond that's more than just friendship

Yeah...without question WW is pro Zelink as well as AOL for sure. I still think Zelink in OOT and TP are unlikely romantic mismatches. More so in TP than OOT.

I think the ultimate thing that Zelda needs is romance.

How awesome would it be if:

Link starts his adventure out and has to leave his hometown for some reason and speak to the King of Hyrule on behalf of his town. When he leaves, he says good-bye to his girlfriend whom he is very close to, or so the game implies. But when he travels to CT and is making his way to the castle, a carriage goes past and Zelda looks at him and from then on its love at first sight. It could sort of be like the romance OoT never lived up to. There could be a few times throughout the game where Link sneaks into the castle at night to meet Zelda. Only, their relationship shouldn't be solely focused on their relationship, it should be focused on the tragic events that are occurring in the game and how they are going to deal with these problems. I also thought that both of them could escape from the castle together and make their way down to the carnival (heavy borrow from MM) and so Zelda and Link aren't noticed together (the relationship is secret) they wear masks (another heavy borrow from MM) and after some mini-games they participate in and talk to each other on the Ferris-wheel something bad happens at Hyrule Castle or something like that and everyone rushes away and hides then some action takes place. The game shouldn't emphasise a love story, it should take place amidst an awesome innovative, unique and epic storyline, unlike any other game or Zelda game.

Yeah, that's why i think the hero of men is their child

Think about it with courageannnnnd wisdom

This could be hinting that he somehow obtained two pieces of the triforce

Actually I believe LinkxMalon in the Child Timeline = TP Link being born to a rural lifestyle. As for WW Link in the Adult Timeline, its canon that he has no genetic connection to OOT Link since he returned to the Child Timeline with his virginity intact. And Adult Timeline Zelda had to marry someone else WHO WAS NOT LINK for Tetra to be born.

There could be other knights of hyrule that he's descended from

And i'm saying that after WW link and zelda found hyrule they become the king and queen, have the hero of men, and then he vanquishes the evil that tried to conquer new hyrule

Maybe...but if LinkxZelda sired TP Link wouldn't he be living among royalty? Thats why LinkxMalon as ancestor to TP Link makes a lot more sense IMO.

Your theory that WW takes place before OOT is interesting but not very popular I'm afraid.

I think that Link should fall in Love.There should be kisses but nothing more.

Look at this:The girl Link loves is with Link in a battle.Someone shoots an arrow at Link but he can't see it,the girl jumps in front of Link and is hit by the arrow Link kisses her and she smiles and says:..

The next part revealed in my upcoming fanfic!!!

I'm confused

You might have misinterpreted what i was saying

This makes no sense. Books have no rating system in place. How can a parent possibly monitor whether it has sex involved or not without going online and looking at a review of it? If it's truthfully the ability to regulate that makes this such a big deal, then I would contend that video games are easier to do this with than books. After all, a video game tells you the rating, and what it's rated for, right on the box, just as a film does. Books however, do not. So I'm afraid I still don't understand the big deal about sex in video games.

It's off topic but that is a good point

To get back on topic

They don't have to have sex for their to be romance! Besides, having sex with someone doesn't automatically mean you love them. Link is the kind of guy that would probably remain a virgin until he was married

Yeah!!
I'm that kind of person too

Saaaame here. But, I digress. Back on topic.

I never thought that all the Links and Zeldas spawned from past Links and Zeldas, I just thought he was kind of...reincarnated. Like, a random kid born who happens to be the next reincarnation of Link. Otherwise, it gets kinda...incest-y...and confusing.

And up to now, Link has been a kid. In TP, he was only 16! He was shy around almost every woman that showed interest in him (remember that one Telma chick who looked like she was coming on to him? He steps back like "WTF??!), and is giddy and speechless when Midna, whom he obviously has developed a sort of love for, is reverted back to her sexy, half-naked self.

Now that Link is "more mature than he ever has been in the series" (paraphrased from a quote by Miyamoto), it would be more...I dunno, natural if he started phasing out of that cutesy, innocent timidness.

The only link and zelda i see winding up together are the ones from WW.

I'm like that! Well maybe i'd react that way at first but i'd get used to it

And i've never been able to decide whether midna was hot or freaky

Now i'm suddenly wishing i was Link

I'd be all for a romance if it played into the story, and wasn't just there for the sake of being there. That would just be lame.
