I didn't make anything up. I heard somewhere, I think from an official source too, that Nintendo's favorite pairing is LinkxZelda.
And just because
AoL is the only game where Link and Zelda did fall in love, doesn't mean Nintendo doesn't like that pairing. They may have simply decided to do it in only that game for right now. They could start doing it more often after
PH and
TP if they wanted to. And also, if Nintendo didn't like the LinkxZelda pairing, they wouldn't have put their seal on that passage that was posted earlier. And didn't Aonuma say in an interview that if Link and Zelda fell in love in some game, it would be great? I don't sense any "we don't like the LinkxZelda pairing" there.
So, I believe LinkxZelda is their favorite pairing. I won't stop believing it unless proved otherwise.
