#i hold that the twin status of Legend and his Zelda should be treated like how i find DfO to be treated

[pocketramblr]

I haven't gotten to Legend's games yet so I don't know if him being Zelda's twin is fanon or canon but it gave me the most hilarious idwa of Some Noble sending the local hero (aka. our Legend) to find the royal heir (you can bet he things the boy will be easier to manipulate than Zelda), maybe in exchange for a full pardon. Fun oneshot if L and Z are aware and decide to mess with the noble, fun twist if he only finds out during the adventure.

The status of Legend and Zelda's possible siblinghood is fascinating and will completely depend on what device you play the game on*

But anyway that would be a hilarious if Zelda has to deal with another plotting usurper, only to hear him say he's looking for the lost prince of Hyrule while looking Link in the eye. Not only the one who stopped the last usurper and completely on her side, but also the prince who would rather stay lost. The kids deserve some fun, let em mess with the guy

*so... You opened a pocket ramble. Spoilers for different versions of the same game to follow, ignore this paragraph if you don't want them. Link's Uncle has different versions of his words to ALTTP Link before the adventure depending on what device the game was made for. Some hint more strongly at Zelda and Link being siblings, some don't. It's never stated outright, he never completes the sentence. The options are "Zelda is your...", (Sister? Queen? Duty? Soulmate? Betrothed?), "You are the princess's..." (Only hope? Brother? Destined hero? Last guard?) Or, no words near that at all. "Our people are fated to rescue the princess" (could be a reference to them being in the family the Knights of Hyrule come from and/or being descended from a past hero). So, some of these hint more than others. To my knowledge, there's one manga adaptation that casts Link and Zelda as half siblings, but that was an early adaptation of the first LoZ game and is soooo super not canon. Then you have to remember that Legend is a combined version of two Links- ALTTP hints at possible siblinghood, ALBW very much does not. So it's up to each fan how they want to interpret and use it. Unfortunately, I've seen people convinced fully one way or the other be very rude to people who use the other headcanon :( please don't do that y'all
