Sidon/Link- Classic, soft, gay, and angsty, everything you love in a ship!
Yona/Sidon- New but not bad, a cute straight relationship with two queer people.
Link/Yona- …I… I guess it’s straight…? But like… Link has the strange ability to turn any relationship he’s in into a gay relationship (I stand by this especially with Zelink) even if on paper it’s straight. Cute relationship, totally not what you’d expect though.
Yona/Sidon + Sidon/Link- Sidon has two hands and Yona is perfectly fine sharing her soon-to-be husband with his boyfriend, Link is fine with anything and just wants his boyfriend.
Yona/Link/Sidon- they ALL have two hands <3.

Me deciding to make Link and Clavia related before Tears of the Kingdom came out literally worked out so well
She literally goes over and cleans his (and his wife's) house every single day, but doesn't assist with the housework of any of the other villagers
They're so related
Bonus Content -
Link: If Cece makes one more comment about how the leadership of Hateno is outdated, her head's coming off. Clavia: Grandpaw. No. Link: *huffs* Fine...

HC on HW Impa’s perspective/view on HW Zelink
Well let’s see... she seems to be very close with Zelda in hw, probably a mix between older sister and mom (since it seems like Zelda doesn’t have any parents).
I actually actually think she’d be pretty okay with their relationship, since Link has more than proved himself over the course of the war in her eyes. I mean he saved her life right at the beginning! He’s obviously a good man, and tries to make up for his mistakes when they’re made.
And he obviously cares for Zelda too, since it seems to me that he’s rather worried for her while she’s “missing”, and I can think of a few instances in the game where he specifically goes to help her when she’s in trouble.
Also I think after the war, if they’re dancing around their feelings at all or just being idiots in regards to their relationship, she’s probably the one to be like “kiss and make up you idiots”.
That being said, she probably still is a little protective of Zelda. Just a little.

Little TOTK!Zelink details for all you fic writers and general BOTW/TOTK Zelink enjoyers:
After being attacked by KEESE, Zelda worries and checks that Link's not harmed
Zelda disguises herself to visit Lurelin Village and visits Lover's pond every evening at the same time. It's so meaningful for her, that she paints it
Link's old tie in Zelda's secret studio (why is it there?)
The Royal guard's beret behind the changing screen in Zelda's old room (why is it THERE? No boring answers allowed)
The Hateno house has the table set for two
All the parallels between Rauru+Sonia and Link+Zelda
Hands, hands, hands
The Light Dragon scales are described as "oddly familiar" (🌚)
Zelda makes Link a new tunic, and for the first upgrade you need some Light Dragon's scales to upgrade it (doesn't it remind you of a certain Zora tradition?) + Silent Princesses (Zelda's favourite flowers)
_______
There's also the fact that they're always together; he's now her chosen protector, instead of appointed knight; their trust in each other, and how in tune they're with each other... But those are spoken about more often, I believe

Me when the post-canon BOTW lore I made up in my head for literal years does not 100% align with what is shown in TOTK

Hello!! What are your thoughts on Echoes of Wisdom? Do you have any theories? Anything you'd like to see?
- hero-of-the-wolf
Zora princess engagement
The Legend of Zelda has a history of Zora princesses falling in love with/being engaged to the Hero of Hyrule/Link
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So therefore, in Echoes of Wisdom, I would like for:
A- Zelda to run across a Zora princess engaged to Link and tell her hands off, he's kidnapped
B- Zelda to be engaged to a Zora princess and tell her no, Link is kidnapped
C- With both the river and ocean Zora being in Eow, BOTH Link and Zelda were engaged to Zora royalty, who are pissed that they now have to marry each other instead since Link is kidnapped
Tumblr media
This is half joking but tbh I really would love for the Zora engagement trope to show up again
I mean the entirety of Eow is set up for Zelink. He chases her. She chases him. It's the idea that they're not whole without the other- if Link is taken so is Zelda. (see what I did there. Taken. Like kidnapped but also taken like in love with someone already. So they're both taken- ok moving on)
So yeah the zelink is so strong in this game from the four minute trailer(s), I really wanna see a Zora engagement because of the potential for *drama*

"He [Rauru] ends up serving as the crucial connection between Link and Zelda, even when thousands of years separate the two. It’s a sad but meaningful role for a character who has become a newly beloved character in Zelda canon."

I woke up within a cold sweat with this botw/totk zelink headcanon but i like to think Link actually proposed to Zelda but in an unplanned unofficial way. Like...a week after totk happens and they're having their first breakfast at Hateno (or maybe Akkala) and Zelda's rambling about how she's sad she never recorded ancient food recipes she's tried at her time in the past and Link just stops her and goes "hey...do you want to get married?"
Zelda's visibly like ??? huh??? and he repeats it. She's a lil spooked cause where is this coming from. Also she's dense so she says "well...I've...assumed I'll be married sometime in the future..." not connecting that he's literally proposing to her and he smiles so sweetly at her and says "I mean with me. Will you want to marry me?" And he steps over to her side of the table and finally gets on one knee.

I didn't miss valentine's day, they've just been on a date that long because she couldn't decide if she should kiss his forehead or his nose first
That's Birdie and Dove from my AU :]

Little tiny fic with Eveni (Midlink kiddo) and Link who’s refusing to admit he’s depressed!!
(Spoilers for true form AU if anyone even cares)
So this is after Midna leaves. Link is still a mess, he’s refusing to work through his issues, and he can’t stay in Ordon because it just feels too stifling and small. So he leaves, and wanders around with Eveni for a while, apart from the occasional issue Zelda needs his help with.
————————————————————
Link trudges up to Zelda’s quarters, boots tapping on the stones the way they always do. His stomach growls loudly as he ascends, and Link sighs, ignoring the twist in his middle. He hasn’t eaten anything since before he cleared out the monsters by Lake Hylia early this morning, and it’s nearly dark out now.
Fortunately he just has to hand his report of the incident to the princess, and then he can go figure out something to eat.
And pick up Eveni, of course.
Link shakes his head to himself as he continues to climb, still a bit in disbelief at what had happened. He’d been... more than surprised when the Queen herself had offered to watch his son while he took care of the monster infestation. The kingdom’s knights hadn’t gotten anywhere in eradicating the beasts, and Zelda had asked for Link’s assistance, which he’d easily agreed to, and he’d been prepared to take Eveni along as usual.
Zelda had looked at him in disbelief when she’d realized he was going to bring his son, but it wasn’t like he was going to take Eveni into battle with him. He was used to traveling around with a toddler, and he’d done this several times, tucking Eveni securely on Epona’s back, and sending the two of them plenty far away from the fighting.
And he hadn’t wanted to leave Eveni so far out of his reach.
“Link, he’ll be far safer here,” Zelda had said gently when he’d declined. “I know you have your methods, but you’re still taking Eveni into a battle. If you leave him here you won’t have to spend your energy worrying about him, and I’ll need your report of what happened afterwards anyway. If he stays here, you don’t have to make any extra stops for him. You can merely come back here when you’ve finished, and then go as soon as you’d like. I know you don’t prefer to linger around town.”
The queen was right of course, (was she ever not?), and Link had hesitantly agreed. He’d gone on his way, but not after a long goodbye, and a tight hug for his son.
He’d never been away from Eveni for such a long period of time before, and found himself hurrying as he trodded up the stairs, worried thoughts drifting past his mind.
Yet... he wasn’t too worried.
Something about knowing Eveni was with the woman who’d helped him shoot arrows at the incarnation of hatred itself did help ease his mind. Other than his family and the folks in the Resistance, Zelda was someone he trusted above all else, even if their relationship was a bit awkward at times. Partially because of her character and how she was his friend-acquaintance-occasional-employer, but also in part due to an innate sense that he could trust her with his life, and he’d follow her anywhere.
...That was probably just the triforce connection though.
Link nods at a guard as he reaches the Queen’s quarters, and enters her rooms with a knock. An orange head shoots up in attention the moment he passes through the door, and Link can’t help the swell of relief at the sight of his son, safe and sound.
“Papa!” Eveni squeals, toddling over to him and waving his ever-present stuffed cat. Link hurried over and scoops up Eveni in a tight hug, noting Zelda standing up from where she was seated nearby. Eveni nestles up to him, and Link gives his head a kiss.
“Hey buddy, me and Epona missed you today. You have a good time?” Link asks with a smile, lifting Eveni and eliciting another happy squeal. His son laughs and squeezes Link’s neck, nearly choking him, but he merely adjusts him so he can breathe better.
Then he shifts his attention to Zelda, and gives her as much of a respectful bow as he can with a toddler clinging to his neck.
“Thank you, your majesty. I hope he wasn’t any trouble.”
“He was wonderful, Link. No thanks are needed, I was glad to spend some time with him again,” Zelda says with a faint smile. “He’s gotten so big since he lived here. I barely recognize him.”
Link’s smile dims at her words, the reminder of the brief time he and Midna stayed at the castle after Eveni was born still painful. It truly was one of the happiest times of his life, but the memories are more bittersweet now than anything.
Fortunately he’s gotten rather good at not letting it show.
“Yeah. He’s shooting up like a weed these days,” Link replies, looking down at his son. “Growing faster than I can handle sometimes.”
Eveni’s still clinging to his neck, but when he catches Link looking at him, smiles widely, and waves his cat around.
“Elda read! Oggy oggy!” he babbles excitedly, and Link looks over at Zelda to see if she has any clue what he’s talking about.
“I read him a bit of a tale with a wolf in it, he was quite enraptured,” she said, the same faint smile playing around her lips. “I suppose it runs in the family.”
Link almost rolls his eyes before he remembers it’s the Queen of Hyrule he’s talking to, and quickly refrains. He may know Zelda pretty well, but he at least tries to keep his manners in check.
So instead, he reaches in his pouch for the report he’d quickly scribbled up about the monster situation, and hands it over to the Queen.
“Everything went well,” he says simply, avoiding Eveni’s waving hands. “The road is passable again, monsters won’t be taking residence on the bridge again anytime soon.”
“That’s wonderful news Link, you have my thanks,” Zelda says gratefully, taking his letter. “Those bokoblins were causing all sorts of problems, and nobody seemed to be getting anywhere in removing them.”
“Well they shouldn’t cause any more problems now,” Link says, unable to stop the satisfaction from leaking into his voice.
He stretches his arm a little, grimacing when an ache ripples up his elbow. He hadn’t been seriously injured at all, but he had been hit by a few clubs, and they weren’t severe enough to merit use of a potion. There would doubtless be multiple bruises coloring his skin tomorrow.
“May I offer you a seat?” Zelda says when she notices the face he’s making, and Link hesitates, then nods, the thought of sitting a welcome one.
“Just for a little while,” he relents, and settles on one of Zelda‘s chairs with a small sigh of relief. He hadn’t realized quite how tired he was until he’d sat down.
Eveni shifts so he’s in his lap instead of clinging to his neck, and starts talking about Zelda again. Link listens to him as he recounts his day, mostly understanding his babbling words. Zelda does as well, and occasionally chimes in with an explanation of something that doesn’t quite translate.
But eventually Eveni’s chatter trails off, replaced with sleepy yawns, and Link looks out the window, the first few stars beginning to twinkle in the sky.
“It’s getting late,” he hums, and Zelda nods, setting down the tea she’d been sipping at.
She’s about to reply, but then his stomach lets out a horrendous gurgle of hunger, cutting her off and making Link flush with embarrassment.
“Link... did you forget to pack any rations?” Zelda asks in a stern voice, and Link shrinks under her stare. There’s a spark of amusement in her eyes when his stomach growls again, but she’s still giving him that look. “You were out all day Link, you can’t just not eat.”
“I ate breakfast,” he points out, ignoring the fact that said breakfast was a single piece of fruit. Zelda sighs as his stomach gurgles even louder.
“And obviously nothing since. Seeing as you’ve already here, I suppose you could... join me for dinner?” Zelda suggests, and Link pauses. “You and Eveni. You can take some time to rest and eat, and you can tell me of your eradication of the monsters at Lake Hylia yourself, and I can skip the report. If you’d like to of course,” she adds on, almost a little hurriedly.
“We really ought to be going...” Link trails off, and while Zelda doesn’t say anything, she knows just as well as he does that he has absolutely nowhere he needs to be.
He’s just... not in the habit of sitting around and talking to people anymore.
He looks down at Eveni where he’s nestled in his lap, a thumb in his mouth. Eveni’s head is resting on his shoulder, and his eyes are starting to close, but he’s still awake for now, and smiles when he sees Link looking at him.
“Papa hungy?” he asks with a tug on his collar, and Link smiles.
“Yeah, papa is hungry. And I bet you are too,” he says as he pokes his tummy, and Eveni giggles.
His son nestles up to his arms again without replying, and Link looks over at Zelda, still patiently awaiting his answer.
He’d planned to be out of here as quickly as possible; merely drop off his report, pick up Eveni, and be on his way. Avoid unpleasant memories and people he doesn’t want to talk to or answer probing questions from. Go back to wandering Hyrule just like before.
And yet.
Sitting here with Eveni secure in his arms, talking with Zelda and for once not having to worry about his son’s safety...
He doesn’t... want to leave.
He meets Zelda’s eyes, a shade of blue some might call cold (he knows better, he’s seen them light up with a warmth as bright as a summer’s day), and breaths out, giving her a hesitant smile.
“That would be wonderful, Zelda.”

I love the theory that Zelda repaired the Champion's Tunic to propose to Link with it because if we take the idea of Link culturally viewing the gifting of armor as an engagement tradition to its logical conclusion, what did he think of the Champion's Tunic the first time around?

My one and only TOTK crack AU is that when Zelda went to the past, she was pregnant, and Sonia and Rauru didn't have kids. Zelda gave birth in the past and left the child behind (not her choice). As the monarchs were dead, that kid was named Rauru and Sonia's successor, and started the royal line that in TOTK's present ends in Zelda
She's the mother, the daughter and the holy spirit. Amen🛐
