Description
EDIT: *I* am DONE with shipping in Zelda. I WILL NOT comment anymore on any pairing shit. Believe what the fuck you want all of you-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahh and I thought freedom of speech still existed for something so silly as fictional characters... how naive..
trololololoYes, it may be aimed at midlinkers (you guys give me so much fun) but REALLY applies to any pairing in this wretched fanbase...even some among my own lol
The struggle is real xD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made this of memes... so yeah I love memes. Stamps belong to their owners, they´re just there to repesent the popular ships.

How about everyone just stops trying to say their ships are the only ones that are canon when they aren't? I know it'll never happen, but it would cause a lot less drama and berating of other people and their opinions. Honestly, all of this is so petty and it's getting really old. As for you, if you don't care about these characters since they're fictional characters, why do you waste your time trying to disprove every single other ship when yours doesn't have a whole lot of in game basis in most games either (with the exception of Spirit Tracks and Skyward Sword)? You've said before about other people keeping their safespace, so why don't you keep to yours and ignore the pairings you don't like? I'm sorry, but there are really no canon pairings involving Link or Zelda at the moment, and I'm not trying to start anything, but all I'm asking is that you please consider even your own words. Just throwing an 'opinion' out there that interviews are bs considering their age and the fact that none of the things they're saying are presented in the games and the translations are also stupid reasons to try to disprove a pairing. If you've played the English version of the games, stick to that. They must have left that text in it for some reason. Or maybe they just know some people get sensitive over pairings and wanted to start a shitstorm. Jokes aside, I think it's funny you're trying to disprove all other pairings even when yours isn't canon itself. If I wanted to, I could probably disprove yours, but I think the best part about pairings not being canon is the fact that people are allowed to use their imagination and interpret interactions between characters how they want to. Shipping shouldn't be something people argue about and hurt other people over, it should be for fun and imagination. But hey, that's just me.

IlliaLink: NOPE
"YOU CAN´T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
You statements:
“Link went to Illia, illialink 4ever.”
My statement:
1. I leave you here AGAIN first with the official words of Bill Trinen through ThePrincessZelda[1] :
QUOTE (Bill Trinen on Tp)
*ThePrincessZelda Jan 29, 2007, 11:23:22 PM
I kinda think it's funny how people think there's a romance between Link and Midna when it's already stated that they're just close friends, this is confirmed by Bill Trinen of Nintendo. He also confirmed that Link and Ilia are just childhood friends. However, when Zelda came up, he said just because the romance didn't happen on screen doesn't mean it didn't happen off screen; he said fans should fill in the holes when it comes to their romance. So sorry to burst any Midna/Ilia X Link fans' bubbles. If you want the source, it's confirmed in the Nintendo Power issue #212 .
Bill Trinen is Miyamoto´s official
interpreter and works very closely with
NoJ. It was this guy who also ended the
Sheik gender debate.
There is no denial, this is canon, no matter
if midlink or illalink fans claim otherwise.
If midlink or illialink had been canon,
you´d think they would be mentioned as
such here in this interview!
With that out of the way, here´s additional data proving this is not what was intended.
Illialinkers love to take the notion of that after the game, Link went back to Ordon, settled with Illia and became mayor of the village. This is cute fanfiction but not canon at all.
First, in the original Gamecube release (which is the canon one, wii version doesn´t count as it was flipped), we see Link riding AWAY from Ordon and Illia standing by herself. The next cutscene shows Hyrule Castle.
You know what, instead of me blabbering about this nonexistent and debunked thing, please head here and revel in how canon beats fanfiction facts by this rabid fan. No really, this fanbrat doesn´t give up, she can´t even provide sources just “I think” statements and no direct links to Miyamoto´s supposed (obviously forged) statement about pairings lololol:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cha…
The facts is in short: Link and Ilia are childhood friends. Nothing more.
Anything else is stupid fanfiction. What can be said however regarding the extremely badly forced “romantic” cutscenes are that Illia is definetly smitten with Link, however here´s the issue: He. Doesn´t. Recuperate.
Add that together with Bill´s statement and it´s crystal cwleeearrr.
I´m terribly sorry (not) midlinkers and illialinkers. But your pairings are not supported nor canon. Giet over eeet.
[1] She is one of the big 3 cosplayers in the Zelda world together with PikminLink and Akuriko.

Malink: NOPE
"YOU CAN´T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
First, Malon is a NPC that has no bearing on the plot other than supplying Link with a horse and even that is optional. To develop a pairing merely on the fact he got a pocket cuckoo is so silly it hurts my sides. THEY HAVE NO INTERACTION whatsoever that indicates “a pairing.” She´s A FRIEND if anything also check out developers quotes. Their interaction is so weak as pairing material I don´t get how ppl pair them in the first place!
Instead of me typing up my responses to these stupid malink theories, allow me to quote fellow Zelinkers again AND ofcourse DEVELOPER QUOTES.
Malinkers mess up the timeline claiming Link was sent back BEFORE he met Zelda but he met Malon. Again I laugh at this, you guys…
“ The child timeline, it isn't Link getting sent back before most of the events in OoT's child Link era. Everything he did in OoT as a kid HAPPENED, everything the player does is what happened, he didn't get sent back to before meeting Zelda. So he did, in fact, meet all the ladies (including Ruto and even Nabooru). Not only that, but he shared a very close time with princess Zelda herself after the events of OoT.
First off, if he was sent back to before the events, he wouldn't have the Triforce of Courage. Because he wouldn't have opened the Door of Time and let Ganondorf touch and break the whole Triforce into it's three main pieces. So that had to have happened for him to have that piece of the Triforce, so he DID at the very least meet Ruto. Also, remember that when he returned to being a kid in the end, it was at the Master Sword, so everything did happen, or else he wouldn't be there.
Anyone who's played Majora's Mask should know this other thing that makes this article's theory flawed. When you get the Ocarina of Time back, you get a flashback to a time with Zelda, she doesn't just play the Song of Time with him again. She talks about how much she like the time they spent together. So he didn't just warn them of Ganondorf and then disappear.
What most likely happened, is with the Triforce of Courage shining on his hand, he would've been able to have a meeting with the king about Ganondorf. Not to mention the fact that Ganondorf had already attacked the castle, causing Impact to flee with Zelda. And after whatever events happened to have Ganondorf locked away (in the Twilight Realm) and restore peace, Impa would have brought Zelda back to the castle, and that's around when the final scene in OoT is with her and Link in the courtyard.
But like she says in the Majora's Mask flashback, they spent a good deal of time together before he left to find Navi. …he may have been an orphan from the forest, but he carried the Triforce of Courage and had to have helped with Ganondorf in events in the child time line after Navi left him.
The events in TP do NOT make it clear just when Link was sent back. However, the end of OoT and the flashback in Majora's Mask make it VERY clear when he was sent back to, and it's like Benny said, it's after all of the events that happened in the game as a kid. If you don't believe me, replay the games, or just rewatched those scenes when young Link returns to his childhood in OoT's end, and in Majora's Mask the flashback when you get the Ocarina back.
Not to mention, a part of TP itself also doesn't go with what you said, if it was before Ganondorf acquired the Triforce, then how was it that he had the Triforce of Power in TP. It's because the events in the child timeline in game happened.”
Here comes the fun parts. This is so many lame arguments I don´t know where to begin.
“Malon is a Gerudo.”
Yeah no, she´s a Hylian. God all this fanfiction…
…Is that in OoT, Link's hair is blonde while Malon's brown, Link's hair from TP is like a mix of the two color, so there it is, Link and Malon ended up together!
Malon has red hair..... and tp Link´s hair does not have a mere fringe of RED you fantard. He has dirty blonde hair.
"Now, for his decendent to be a rancher(Tp) , the Hero of Time had to have rancher connections"
Sooo…..it's impossible for someone to enter a certain line of work unless one of their distant ancestors was in that same line of work? Also with that logic I could say Tp Link is the lost son of Hena because he fishes lol
Why can't it just be a job?
Why is Link the only one with pointed ears in Ordon? Why does Lon Lon Ranch no longer exist in Hyrule by TP? Why does Ordon's ranch have goats instead of horses like Malon was experienced with?
You know what's even more interesting? He is clearly nothing more than an employee of Fado; were it the family business, he or his family would own the ranch.
That whole 'I want to marry your daughter" was simply a joke response you can give to Talon, he even laughs it off and just gives you a bottle if you choose it...
Ordon Ranch =/= Lon Lon Ranch.
“BUT OMG EPONA´S SONG IN TP1!!!”
In Twilight Princess Illia taught Link the song, you tard.
There are no facts pertaining to the time between Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess that we are shown.
Full-Hylian proves neither the Hero of Time nor Malon as an ancestor.
Rancher proves neither the Hero of Time nor Malon as an ancestor.
Epona proves neither the Hero of Time nor Malon as an ancestor. Nor does she prove that she is related the Hero of Time's horse.
“They say that Malon of Lon Lon Ranch hopes a knight in shining armor will come and sweep her off her feet someday.”
DOES THAT SAY SPECIFICALLY LINKKKKKK? Oh what, no? Thought so…
Malon did not want to marry a hero, she wanted to be rescued by a hero. It's a romantic (in the non-love sense) notion shared by little girls world-wide (because remember that, when you are told that, she's a little girl).
“Zelda is a sage, so Link can´t be with her aka he went to Malon.”
Except Zelda didn´t become a sage, since Twilight Princess took place in the child timeline wherein the sages were never called upon.
“B-But Talon in the castle….”
Not necessarily... If Link entered the castle on a different day, Talon may not have been sleeping there...
"…How the hell would Link be able to get Epona as a Child when he got sent back when you were able to? That, to me, would mean that there was something else that led to Link being able to take Epona. You can't say it's because of all their time together or anything else, since that was not the 'child' Epona. Besides, you would have had to go to the ranch to hear Epona's Song in the first place, and Link doesn't seem like the type that would steal Epona."
Bear in mind that when he was sent back, he retained his memories and would already know Epona's Song. Then all he had to do was go to the ranch and play it. Epona would have responded to it, and Malon may well have let him take Epona believing that Epona was destined to be his horse.
Also, there's no reason to assume that the King wouldn't allow Link to marry Zelda. When Link went back to the child timeline, he warned the King about Ganondorf's evil plans, and forever became known as a hero, which is why there are so many references to him in TP. He was known as a hero in both timelines.
“In Link's Awakening, Marin is his love interest in what is perhaps a dream. In Termina, his love interest is Cremia. Both his "dream" and the "alternate reality" reference a girl that looks like Malon as his main love interest.”
Marin was a seagull. There was no love connection there. (Don´t you remember Link´s Awakening WAS A DREAM?) And Cremia? Seriously??
There's nothing that proves Link and Malon are interested in one another. Using Marin and Cremia as representitives is ridiculous.
To you who refuse to see reason, I slap you with developer quotes:
In a 1997 interview with Famimaga 64, conducted leading up to the release of Ocarina of Time, the magazine asked Miyamoto “Does Link have a girlfriend?” “if it was Princess Zelda, it would be great”, “but this time Navi is jealous of Zelda. So within the story Navi feels something for Link”.
A 2008 Nintendo Power interview with Aonuma. Commenting on the Nintendo 64 classic Aonuma says “when Link wakes up seven years later, he’s extremely concerned about what has become of Zelda.” “if he [Link] didn’t know [of Zelda’s fate] until the very end ... that would be even worse.” As well as referring to the pacing of the game’s story, Aonuma is also referencing how distraught Link would have been if he “learned that she’d [Zelda] been captured by Ganon all that time”.
(oh what´s that, no mention of Malon in all these years? No malink at ALL in this?) It´s interesting to read the line “extremely concerned about *gasp* ZELDA?!) *surprise,surprise.*
You malinkers are building a relationship on NIHIL substance and grinding a ludicrous theory on Tp Link being the lovechild of oot Link and Malon hahaha that is a fanfic if I ever saw one.
I´ve got ingame lore and developer statements. You got nothing but a horse.
I´m terribly sorry (not) malinkers. But your pairing is not supported nor canon. Giet over eeet.

Well, you've certainly packed this post to the gills... I'm not entirely sure where to start...
Here's as good a place as any: "Full-Hylian proves neither the Hero of Time nor Malon as an ancestor..." This is true, but I can prove that the Hero of Time is an ancestor of Twilight Princess Link. Hyrule Historia confirms it. Page 118 if you don't believe me.
So we've got a canonical blood relation between two Links. I'd say this sinks the idea of N64 Link marrying Zelda, or are you about to write me some fanfiction explaining why an alleged prince of Hyrule makes a living herding goats out in the sticks?
"It doesn't prove he married Malon, though!" you might say, which brings me to the next point. You say of Epona's Song "In Twilight Princess Illia taught Link the song." I'm not sure what your source on this is, but I can debunk it all the same. At the beginning of the game, Ilia asks Link "Can you use a piece of grass to play that song for me? You know, the one that Epona likes?" If she knew the song, and was the one who taught it to Link in the first place, why wouldn't she just play it herself? And why does she also refer to it in vague terms, instead of having a specific name for it, like "My great great great great grandmother's song" or "Epona's Song?"
You might continue to try to deflect the significance of Epona's Song by saying "Link doesn't actually know it, he's just blowing on the reed and it's making the noise it makes," which would be a plausible theory, considering the hawk-summoning grass is used by Link, another Ordonian villager (I think he's Beth's dad?) and a Bulbin. But then you talk to Ilia again before blowing the horse grass, and she has this to say: "I tried to play it for Epona, but I just can't seem to play it the way you can, Link." So no, there's more to it than just blowing into a reed, Twilight Princess Link knows Epona's song, and he seems to be only person in his era who does.
Isn't that funny... The song that was composed by Malon's late mother, which Malon loved to sing and the horses loved to hear... And a century or two later, the person who knows the song is the confirmed descendant of the Hero of Time... How about that?
Going back to the to, "First, Malon is an NPC that has no bearing on the plot other than supplying Link with a horse and even that is optional." True, but this actually speaks more strongly of their relationship than you make it sound. Once she gives him the egg, they never have to cross paths again; There are no main quest objectives on the ranch, and Navi never suggests he go visit it either; And yet, he does, he canonically does, because otherwise he would never have Epona, who he rides on the title screen, and in the opening scene of Majora's Mask. The player goes to the ranch to look for heart pieces and also look for a way to ride that sweet horse they saw Link riding on the title screen, but why would Link take time out of his quest to go there? The only clear in-universe answer would be that he wants to see Malon again.
Bear in mind that when he was sent back, he retained his memories and would already know Epon's Song. Then all he had to do was go to the ranch and play it. Epona would have responded to it, and Malon may well have let him take Epona believing that Epona was destined to be his horse.
Wow, those ZeLink blinders of yours are really making Link out to be an asshole. "Epona, where are you going?" "She's my horse now. Bye." Whether Malon would be accepting of this or not is irrelevant, because Link definitely would not do that.
Also, is it me, or are you contradicting yourself here? Weren't you making such a big fuss earlier about the fact that Link wasn't sent back to before all the stuff he did as a child? Therefore, wouldn't Malon remember Link, and he'd be able to just ask if he could borrow Epona?
Also, note that Malon introduces Epona as her friend. The she lives on a ranch full of horses, but designates this one in particular as "my friend" indicates that she's special to her. This is even more apparent in the official lyrics to Epona's song, sung from Malon's perspective: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eZoxu…
This makes the fact that she let Link take her on his quest in Majora's Mask pretty gosh dang meaningful. You don't let your dog go on a roadtrip alone with a guy who isn't at least your best friend.
"Malon did not want to marry a hero, she wanted to be rescued by a hero. It's a romantic (in the non-love sense) notion shared by little girls world-wide" Wow, you're pretty deep in denial. You're saying little girls dream of platonically being rescued, never you mind all that happily ever after nonsense? I'm 100% sure you'd be arguing in the other direction if the stone said Zelda dreamed of being swept off her feet, and you'd be keenly aware of the Hero's Shade and telling us to just imagine what that suit of armor must have looked like when he was alive.
Also, isn't it funny that the Gossip Stone talking about Malon's daydreams is located right outside the Temple of Time, one of the most important locations in the game? And while he doesn't physically sweep her off her feet, Link certainly makes Malon's dream come true by rescuing her. In her own words: "I can't believe it, but peace is returning to this ranch! It's all because of you! I owe you so much! Thank you! Thank you, Link!"
"Marin was a seagull. There was no love connection there." And the ZeLink blinders strike again! There "was no love connection" between Link and the girl he went on an honest to God date with? (youtu.be/ednqknTmIbQ?t=1m27s ) Really? And while we're on the subject, another little tidbit from Hyrule Historia: "Tarin and Marin may be the product of Link's memories of Malon and her father Talon, of Lon Lon Ranch." Page 102, if you'd like to check.
"your pairing is not canon" And neither is yours, if we're going by the actual definition of the term. The closest you've got is a translation of an interview from almost twenty years ago that says Navi likes Link and is jealous of Zelda, something which is not evident at all in the actual game.

Aonuma:
QUOTE (Aonuma (On TP))
Interviewer Will we see a charming and affectionate romance [between Link and] the princess?
Eiji Aonuma: Well, we’re creating an adolescent storyline and we try to present it how it should be; … And yes, it’s true that teenagers have these relationships -- and we would love if it could happen with the princess – but I can’t talk about anything yet.
QUOTE (Aonuma (On TP))
Interviewer: We have received several emails in which our readers ask: Will Zelda and Link ever be involved [romantically]? [laughs] I’m sorry, but we had to ask.
Eiji Aonuma: [laughs] Good question. Well, as you already know, we are now dealing with a teenage Link, and as you know, teenagers are very emotional beings, so there are definitely possibilities of seeing Link showing his feelings towards the princess. But honestly, we don’t know what the future holds.
You can clearly see how Aonuma tries to “keep it up to interpretation” so as to not hurt other fans feelings, but Zelink shines through.
Your statement:
“Link went to look for a way to rebuild the Twilight mirror to see Midna/ Midna rebuilt the Twilight mirror to see Link. Midlink 4ever1!”
My statement:
2. This is just shitty fanfiction nonsense.
First: Midna herself breaks the mirror completely as the rightful ruler of the Twilight Realm. Zelda lore clearly states:
QUOTE
Midna: "Only the true ruler of the Twili can destroy the Mirror of Twilight. Zant could only break the Mirror of Twilight into shards... He couldn't utterly shatter it. That's proof of his false kingship."
QUOTE
Midna: “It's our only path to the Twilight Realm.”
Sage: "Only the true leader of the Twili can utterly destroy the Mirror of Twilight...so Zant could merely break it into pieces.
Midna´s action severed the only known road between the two worlds, destroying the only known means of travel between them to prevent similar events from happening again.
Some midlinkers like to claim that Zant can teleport in portals, therefore Midna could do the same to “gain acess” to the light world. This is a very, very shaky theory.
Zant creates many portals, some of which may connect the Twilight Realm and the Light World. However, it is not certain that Zant moved between the two worlds during the time the mirror was broken, as he may merely have moved between two points in the light world, similar to Midna's warping of Link. It is likely that the mirror's total destruction at the end of the game truly separated the two worlds, while its mere division at Zant's hands may have allowed Zant to still use the connection between realms.
Some midlinkers claim that after the game, Link hypothetically rode to Hyrule Castle to ask the aid of Zelda to use the TRIFORCE (?!!) to restore the mirror and get Midna and him together as a couple. WHAT?!
The goddesses forbade the Twili to return to Hyrule. They cannot exist in the world of light!
And to boot, it would be absolutely idiotic to the ending itself. Why would Midna break the fucking mirror in the first place if she/they just thought “ But heeey let´s make Link glue it together with the power of the TRIFORCE even though our GODS have forbidden Twilis to exist in Hyrule and Hylians are not meant to be in the Twili Realm, and Midna just broke it to not get a second Twilight wave ever to hit Hyrule!!” NO LOGIC whatsoever!
QUOTE
Midna: "…Though the goddesses forbade us to return to the world of light.”
QUOTE
Midna: Eventually, most came to call it the Twilight Realm, and from it, none could return to the world of light..."
して、影の世界へ落とされた者達は 元の世界に戻ることは許されず・・・
And the people who were dumped into the Shadow World were not permitted to return to the original world…
ハイラルの影として永遠に 陰りの中で生きるように なったそうだ・・・
They were forever doomed to live as shadows of Hyrule inmidst the gloom
Twilis aren´t meant to reside in the world of light, and light denizens aren´t meant to be in the Twili Realm!
Hyruleans wrongly/confusingly believe that the Twilight Realm is an afterlife of sorts:
Rusl:
それはな、あの世とこの世が この時だけ、交わることができ・・・
It's the only time when the other world and this world can intersect…
未だ、この世に未練を持つ幽界の者達の思いが、そうさせるんだそうだ
It is said that the sentiments of the people of the underworld/hades, their regrets lingering in this world, are still around.
Auru:
かつて、あのゲルド砂漠には ある大罪人を罰した処刑場が あった そうです
In the Gerudo Desert, there once was an execution place at which a certain big criminal was punished.
何でも、その大罪人は 処刑場にある呪われた鏡によって あの世に 送り込まれてしまった とか・・・
As I heard, that big criminal was sent to the other world by means of a cursed mirror kept at the execution place, and so on…
今ではその処刑場は閉鎖され、砂漠へ行く道も絶たれております
Nowadays that execution place is shut down, and even the road leading to the desert is cut off.
世界と隔たれた砂漠・・・そこに取り残された鏡と死人の怨念・・・
The desert which was separated from the world... left behind at that place was the mirror and the grudge of the deceased…
The Japanese text shows that the sages only regret abusing the mirror to send Ganondorf into Midna's world, not their attempt at executing him, they tried to control him. This is evidence that the mirror was not used to banish criminals other than the interlopers and Ganondorf. The Arbiter's Grounds is essentially death row but not a prison.
Now, WHY IN THE WORLD would a denizen of the light choose to preside in a place associated with the underworld and to boot at a place of punishment and grudges? If it were light denizens were common in the Twili Realm, why would the Twili themselves say stuff like in this unused dialogue:
“オマエ、どうやッテ この世界、来タ？”
How did you get to this world?
Even GANONDORF refers to them as merely friends:
“その友情とやらでな！”
With that friendship!
There is also the famous line:
QUOTE
“影が光に、[?] されたか・・・ 面白い！”
"Shadow has turned to light, it seems."
This line which is often quoted as support for midlink, actually it is Ganondorf referring to that the Twili had found peace within the Twilight Realm; they no longer possessed the hatred of their ancestors. There is no midlink here whatsoever.
Many Zelinkers claim that it was Zelda´s spirit experiencing all the events post sacrifice by being inside Midna. Many say that Zelda residing in Midna actually made Midna become kinder towards Link. They are backed up by Hyrule Historia and Zelda herself in that Zelda remained inside Midna after her sacrifice:
QUOTE
Zelda: “Your heart and mine were as one, however briefly..."
QUOTE
Once Princess Zelda's spirit, which remained inside Midna, was returned to her body, she defended Link using the Light Arrows." (Hyrule Historia (Dark Horse Books), pg. 117)[2]
Midlinkers again come with the ending line where Midna was reportedly according to them meant to have said “I love you” to Link. WRONG AGAIN.
“・・・ま・・・またな・・・”
[Link]… S…see you…
Link…I…will see you later…
NO I, NO LOVE, no nothing in the original.
The absolute, biggest contender to topple the midlink theory is the quote by Midna herself!
QUOTE:
Midna: "Light and shadow can't mix, as we all know."
“これで、お別れだな. 所詮、光と影は 交わっちゃいけないんだ.”
This is farewell. Light and shadow aren't supposed to associate, after all.
Zant spoke truly:
いくら望んでも、今の世界では お前は 決して交わることはできぬ影にすぎぬ
No matter how much you may desire otherwise, in the world as it is now, you will never be more than a shadow that cannot mingle.
Here, Zant provides an interesting take on what could happen if so went: (it doesn´t sound good lol )
光と影を 一つの闇に！！
For light and shadow to become one darkness!!
...To merge shadow and light...and make darkness!"
Initially I found confusion with this string of dialogue regarding the use of the word “mate” as in potential breeding/polygamy.
ザントを見つけ出して、仲間を元に戻してやりたいんだ・・・
I want to track down Zant and bring my mates back to normal…
[Link]、このソルを この世界の入口にいた、仲間の元に 運んでやってくれないか？
[Link], would you take this Sol to my former mates at the entrance to this world?
Link]、ありがとう・・・ お陰で仲間を元の姿に戻してやれたよ
Thank you, [Link]… Because of you, my mates were reverted to their original forms!
Uhhhh no wonder NoA decided to change it to “The Twilis.”
My good friend Galapagos cleared this up (thank you!):
"仲間" is more like a companion, associate, or comrade. So, in that sense = Australian (use of the word mate). Not sure why they used it, but oh well. You'd usually expect to see something like this 縁組する when talking about intermarrying, mating, joining, or breeding. She could very well have more than one mate, and the kanji may well be intended as such. I'm not an expert.”
So, in conclusion: In order for Midlink to happen the world must be blanketed in Twilight and the order of the Gods upsetted. Light and shadow simply aren´t meant to be, they are meant to be separate.
Midna got it, why can´t the rabid fans lol also DEVELOPER INTENT BIATCHES!!
I´ve got ingame quotes, lore and developer + representative statements. What have you got rabid midlinkers? Some measly cutscenes you interpret as “Zomg midlink 4ever?”

Oh I want to take the moment to thank Tumblr for making me famous. Thank you for the publicity.
I don't think you guys would think that higly of me as a insignificant hater (peeps usually ignore haters). To all you others who are so hurt over cussing/hating on fictional characters : princess zelda is a cold hearted bitch in tp and link is a pimp in oot. *gasp* did someone die? Did the world end? Am I dead yet?
Hate and love go hand in hand in all fanbases. Can't handle hate? Stick to your safespace, the internet is free and horrible, put on your big girl pants and ignore this awful artist that had so much power she could offend you (rather you chose to get offended) over fictional shit on her damn page. No really, I am flattered your fragile hearts let rubbish like my thoughts get in, and you walked into this snakepit that is my page and journal willingly despite all the warnings I posted all over on my hate uncensored here :3
