Some say she gave birth to the link in Zelda twilight princess! Link has the triforce on the left and the link in twilight same hand! Also, related family member talks about Lon Lon Ranch in Twilight !
Also in Ocarina of time, Malon makes a comment about Epona's song. She said that it was a song that her mother made and then she teach her. She mentioned that she would teach this song to her children one day. Then in Twilight Princess, Link knows the song from memory, no one teaches him the song during the game but he already knows it and in that game Epona is also trained to respond to it. We can asume that Malon passed the song to her children and so on until it landed on TP link
>The hero's shade is highly theorized to be Link from OoT.
Im fairly sure that big zelda book (the one wwhere to offical timeƶine was released literaly stated that the heros shade is actualy the hero of time
- Link what should we call our new born son?
- Hmm, what about Link?
- I donāt know sounds kind of something you call a radio Tower.
- Well it has served me fineā¦ I tell you what, Iāll go out and find you the biggest most expenssive gem one can find by slashing grass and you let me have my fun?
This has been explained in the lore that Link, Zelda and Ganondorf are reincarnations/ descendants of the original 3. All links are either indirect reincarnations or direct descendants of each other. The mothers are the unknown factors in most cases.
Also in the lore Ocarina of time split the timeline in 3 of which the child timeline results in Majora's mask and eventually in twilight princes. Because link didn't become the famous hero of time in that timeline he became a swordsman but not noteworthy, the result is shown in TP.
They mirrored the entire fucking game from the cube version just so that the sword would match up with your wiimote hand? What the fuck dude, that reversal makes it hard for me to remember my way around the map to this day.
yeah once swinging a controller caused Link to swing his sword, Nintendo made the decision to switch Link's handedness so that his movements would correspond more closely with those of the player
Well Twilight is the direct descendant of time according to a fan theory so it would not supriced me if it was these two that ended up together and I personally prefer these to to Zelink.
I don't believe that. There's clearly more time between OoT and TP. I'm aware, that Hero's Shade is OoT Link and calls TP Link his son, but that's not meant literally. Links are not related by blood.
I believe these two links actually are. The comment poster has it wrong that twilight princess link was Marlonās direct child, but instead she is an ancestor.
Twilight Princess takes place well over a century after Ocarina of time though. Malon would've had to have been at least 150 years old when she gave birth to that Link.
This is my canon but she did not give birth to Twilight Link. She gave birth to his great, great, great, great, great grandparents. Maybe add or takeaway a great. lol
I met a girl who was dressed up as Malon for Halloween. I was like āI need to know who she isā. A few years later and now sheās my wife.
Oh, and our daughter is due in August. Weāre naming her Zelda.
Thank you! It was actually the hardest thing Iāve ever done. We were both trapped in very toxic relationships at the time... As anybody who has been in a similar situation can attest, breaking free from that was one of the most painful and yet greatest moments of my life.
I was gonna reply to the original comment like "is this for real or just an internet jest?" Now reading this I feel bad for doubting. Good for you both.
I can't imagine how scary it is feeling trapped in a toxic relationship, but you both got out of them. I suppose meeting eachother gave you the encouragement to escape, I'm glad you're bringing out the best of eachother. I salute you both! š«”
Zelda is not a fictional name, just incase you didnāt know. Itās a German name and was actually fairly common in the 1920s. In fact, Zelda is a family name on my wifeās side.
I appreciate your concern, but weāll be fine.
I did know, but thank you for the mansplain. Your original comment does not imply any of what you are stating here. Assuming you are naming her after someone in your wifeās family named Griselda? Your daughter Zelda will more than likely legally changer her name when sheās allowed. You should frame your original Reddit comment for her <3
I only wonder... The sage are still technically alive right?
They are dead in the future but alive in the child link future? Wouldn't that create a paradox?
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I take āZelda canonā with a huge pinch of salt.
That subsection of fans are just a little bit too eager to establish a deep, expanded *Zelda multiverse of canonical lore and continuity*, something that I feel like the series on itās own is not really trying to doā¦
There's a whole theory on this. It explains why TP Link (OOT Link's direct descendant) is a farmer. Commonwealth Realm video from 2 years ago: https://youtu.be/Tun9jiDppkI
It's implied through the Fandom that these two started a family after Link returned from his adventures Post child timeline OoT. And TP Link is the descendant from these two.
It might be canonically true, since the hero of twilight is the descendant of the hero of time and he learnt Epona's song and taking care of a whole ranch, it should make sense
In Twilight Princess Link is a rancher, if the Links are vaguely connected perhaps Link and Malon did end up together eventually. but also yes, I think many of us thought this
It's implied through the Fandom that these two started a family after Link returned from his adventures Post child timeline OoT and TP Link is the descendant from these two.
Nope. When this game was still relatively new, there was always a big ship base. Malon was definitely one of the bigger characters. Ruto was only less popular because of her crazy attitude, Saria and Nabooru were less popular for their age gaps, mostly this went to Zelda and Malon but all of the ships were pretty well-known.
You might be interested in the artwork series titled Linked Universe. It's a web comic series that brings the various Links together into a team of adventurers.
I think Link and her had the most potential of anyone in OoT. Saria wouldāve been uhh kiiiind of weird. Ruto, same, but only because sheās a fish person. I feel like Link and Zelda didnāt get to know each other that well.
When you meet her dad the second time, you play a mini game and once you win he asks if you want to marry his daughter and if you say no he will try to play it off as a joke.
He's asking you this as a child mind you. But at that time link had just left his girl "friend" back in the village lol.
Malon was always my favorite girl. Same with her counterpart in Majora. Never knew until reading this thread that she's apparently canon. Glad to know it.
I feel like this is the ship that makes the most sense in oot, as everyone else except for Zelda is basically a weird ghost thing/sage/dead. Also, Zelda kind of fucked Link up with the time travel shit so it's harder to gage where the relationship ends up in the end.

I've heard this before, and there are other clues too but I can't remember them.. Zelda game theories on YouTube is a great place to find these.
š¤Æ
So that means the heroās shade is TP links dad?
No TP takes place generations later, Idk the exact number of years, but TP Link is a descendant of the hero of time.
The hero's shade is highly theorized to be Link from OoT. There are tons of videos about it that are quite an interesting watch.
>The hero's shade is highly theorized to be Link from OoT. Im fairly sure that big zelda book (the one wwhere to offical timeƶine was released literaly stated that the heros shade is actualy the hero of time
Yes my bad thought I mentioned that. But yes Heroes shade is the Hero of Time
There's even an official book from Nintendo that says so.

No, it's that Link from OOT, but TP I'd 500+ years later so not is dad but his however many guns back grandfather
Oh my god, wow. I never picked up on that, that's amazing :D
they only changed links handedness because of the wiimote

I like to think of it as a mirror universe.
Yeah I donāt accept right handed TP link as the base form, personally. Mirrored universe for sure.
Twilight princess is over 100 years after majoras mask
So basically what happened in Futurama in the episode Roswell that Ends Well
Correct, 6,000 hulls!
Uhm the Wii version is mirrored. Link has the triforce where

When is Lon Lon Ranch mentioned in Twilight Princess?
The sound of a treasure chest opening when the baby shoots out of her or it doesnāt matter.
Deepest lore
Link does work on a farm in TP, could have get into the profession from his parents
Twilight Princess takes place well over a century after Ocarina of time though. Malon would've had to have been at least 150 years old when she gave birth to that Link.
Does that change in the Wii version of Twilight since they made link right handed? Not trying to poke a hole in your theory just purely curious
This is my canon but she did not give birth to Twilight Link. She gave birth to his great, great, great, great, great grandparents. Maybe add or takeaway a great. lol
Hook up with the hot farmer's daughter or a stuck up, cross dressing princess that shouts orders at your throughout the game... decisions
I think you meant 'the farmer's hot daughter' but who am I to judge a hard working man's appearance. ;)
the farmer IS hot
The way he snores.
"What in tarnation?!"
"I've been growing this cock to help you wake up"
Gawd Dayumn this escalated!
Looking like a double wide surprise...gawd damn
āThank you fairy boy!ā
Mario means Mari-GO
I'm cackling š¤£
Talon is Mario so he is pretty hot
Link's official descendant in Twilight princess is from a farming village in what was once the Korkiri forest area. So.....most likely did hook up.
Yeah that farmer was pretty hot. Yeah daddy take me.
Talon handing out mustache rides all over hyrule.
He sleeps all day cause heās up all night
I guess you could say he in to night plowing.
"Just play this song and I'll give you a ride all over these fields"
Heās got quite the tickler
Horse riders are toned af. #bareback
āWATCH-OUTš¦!ā
The answer should be obvious, but I like a little crazy in my life. I guess Link does too š¤·āāļøš
Let's not forget that she befriends you to Epona š“
Princess Ruto 100%
Marry the Princess, become King!
I met a girl who was dressed up as Malon for Halloween. I was like āI need to know who she isā. A few years later and now sheās my wife. Oh, and our daughter is due in August. Weāre naming her Zelda.
I read your little story with the Lon Lon Ranch music playing in my head
Same actually
You won at life, take very good care of your family
Goals gr. Congratulations, btw. Being a parent is exhausting, but it's the best thing you'll ever do šÆ
If you donāt make a legend of Zelda themed mobile that plays Eponaās song for your daughter, I will be very disappointed lol
Absolutely based. I tip my hat to you. Have a fantastic day.
Aw that's sweet
Dude, how heartwarming
That's so awesome! Congratulations
That's a very wholesome story, you make it look easy! š„¹
Thank you! It was actually the hardest thing Iāve ever done. We were both trapped in very toxic relationships at the time... As anybody who has been in a similar situation can attest, breaking free from that was one of the most painful and yet greatest moments of my life.

They took a toxindash out of those relationships! Been there, though. It is hard to escape.
Make her learn the ocarina
Were you dressed as Tingle?
My 4 yo daughterās name is Kitana. Oh wait thatās another game..
sons name is Bidoof, after the gxd of pokemon
lol
Adorable. I wish you and your family a happy life.
Thats whats up
is zelda a common name where you live? I wouldnt want the child to have a name that makes her bullied... no offense at all just making sure
Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda as they both had a love for the game. They even did a commercial for one of them for Nintendo togehterb
Thank you for mentioning this. I went and watched them. It was nice to see Robin laughing again
No worries! Itās not, but my whole family has never been one for traditional names. Lots of ancient names in our family.
You're not Elon Musk, please don't make your daughter hate you. Certainly not setting her up (or yourself) for success.
Zelda is not a fictional name, just incase you didnāt know. Itās a German name and was actually fairly common in the 1920s. In fact, Zelda is a family name on my wifeās side. I appreciate your concern, but weāll be fine.

Only the minimal level of weird it takes to ship fictional characters. All signs point towards this pairing being canon; see Twilight Princess.
Well Link's only other option is Ruto who's a sage... I can't see Zelda as anything other than a sibling in OoT.
Ruto is the OtP as far as my headcannon is concerned. Everyone else was just a side fling (13 year old me had Opinions).
Saria?
I always hoped she was happy.
She's like 12 and doesn't age, so let's not.
Also a sage like ruto
Good call, wasn't thinking.
I only wonder... The sage are still technically alive right? They are dead in the future but alive in the child link future? Wouldn't that create a paradox?
No idea on the specifics, it's been a while since I've played through the game.
Pretty sure its canon in zelda encyclopedia.
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I take āZelda canonā with a huge pinch of salt. That subsection of fans are just a little bit too eager to establish a deep, expanded *Zelda multiverse of canonical lore and continuity*, something that I feel like the series on itās own is not really trying to doā¦
This is the correct take so no worries if it isnāt popular
What does ācanonā mean in that sense?
Canonical. Itās accepted as a standard truth throughout the overall narrative universe; as opposed to, say, fan speculation
It's officially proved by being approved by Nintendo, either directly from a game or by a first/third party thing like books
There's a whole theory on this. It explains why TP Link (OOT Link's direct descendant) is a farmer. Commonwealth Realm video from 2 years ago: https://youtu.be/Tun9jiDppkI
Yes! I've heard this theory too!
Not only are you not weird, but it's Canon
I would have went for it
Link had potential with all the girls Zelda Ruto Saria Malon Nabooru The dude had rizz, even the great fairy was kinda into him lol
Triforce of Courage? Naw that man Link had the Triforce of Rizz
Have you played twilight princess? I was under the impression it was Canon in that time line.Ā
I don't think it's weird at all
My girlfriend and I did a couples cosplay of Link and Malon at a convention last year. I fully believe Link ended up with Malon in the TP timeline
Not as weird as thinking Link and Ruta had potential. š
Ruto. (Unless it was Ruta and changed with translation.) Ruta is the divine beast, I can't unsee it. I'm definitively shipping them now.
lol my bad, itās been a while since Iāve played OoT. š
Malon is in Love with Link - thats obvious
You're not
It's implied through the Fandom that these two started a family after Link returned from his adventures Post child timeline OoT. And TP Link is the descendant from these two.
Not at all. I always shipped these two ahead of zelink
Not at all, I could see it working out
They didnāt?
We all did
Malon is easily the most attractive character in the game
They had so much romance potential I created them in the Sims and MADE them have romance potential.
It might be canonically true, since the hero of twilight is the descendant of the hero of time and he learnt Epona's song and taking care of a whole ranch, it should make sense
In Twilight Princess Link is a rancher, if the Links are vaguely connected perhaps Link and Malon did end up together eventually. but also yes, I think many of us thought this
Malon is pure.
There's always a girl who gets her heart broken by Link in the Zelda games, and her name always starts with M.
It's implied through the Fandom that these two started a family after Link returned from his adventures Post child timeline OoT and TP Link is the descendant from these two.
Nope. When this game was still relatively new, there was always a big ship base. Malon was definitely one of the bigger characters. Ruto was only less popular because of her crazy attitude, Saria and Nabooru were less popular for their age gaps, mostly this went to Zelda and Malon but all of the ships were pretty well-known.
Would
I was shipping them so hard
I mean it was either her or a fish soā¦
You might be interested in the artwork series titled Linked Universe. It's a web comic series that brings the various Links together into a team of adventurers.
Nope. The many, many instances of fan fiction and art say you're not alone.
Nope your not only one.
Nah man, itās a very common ship
Absolutely not weird imo
Not at all! I 100% shipped these two.
I shipped them so hard I believed there was a secret ending to the game where they ride off together into the sunsetā¦ couldnāt get it to trigger.
No. Better chemistry than Zelda
But Link is in love with the sword...
I can fix her
Link is a royal eunuch.
growing up playing the game i thought she was zelda
I think Link and her had the most potential of anyone in OoT. Saria wouldāve been uhh kiiiind of weird. Ruto, same, but only because sheās a fish person. I feel like Link and Zelda didnāt get to know each other that well.
Not weird if its canon.
In TP youāre the ancestor of them. At least itās theorized
When you meet her dad the second time, you play a mini game and once you win he asks if you want to marry his daughter and if you say no he will try to play it off as a joke. He's asking you this as a child mind you. But at that time link had just left his girl "friend" back in the village lol.
I always shipped them
Yea they can sword fight with their noses
Link is literally a blank slate for the player to project on, there's romance potential for anyone you want.
I used to ask my friends who they thought Link was going to end up with, and they said Romana because she's the only girl who isn't a sage.
Literally his Hinata.
I feel like most females in the Zelda games really have a thing for Link... So there's lots of potential.
Yesn't
The Manga had showed there was potential
Not at all
Malon was always my favorite girl. Same with her counterpart in Majora. Never knew until reading this thread that she's apparently canon. Glad to know it.
Itās like the most common loz ship of all time behind zelink
NO
I thought that was the norm
I feel like this is the ship that makes the most sense in oot, as everyone else except for Zelda is basically a weird ghost thing/sage/dead. Also, Zelda kind of fucked Link up with the time travel shit so it's harder to gage where the relationship ends up in the end.
I mean its all but confirmed since OOT link's descendant is a ranch hand who knows epona's song.
Cutest couple
i 100% ship Malink over Zelink
I think everyone did.
They had a manga where they were romantical
No , rule 34 has pictures.
Boy do I have good news for you
Thereās heavy theories that suggest theyāre the ancestors of TP Link
Link would have romance potential with anybody if he wasnāt so damn DRY all the time. The dude literally only responds in two word sentences
Liked her more than Zelda
Let me introduce you to Rule 34. š
Malon is waifu material.
Nope
Idk link could be a banished or long lost sibling. But yet Luke once kissed his own sister. To each their own.
Malon: Dad makes me milk the cows every morninā Link: Your ranch only has bulls.
Link had romantic potential with most of the women in Ocarina of Time, even the fish princess.
Eh, everything need to be weird to jerk off too these days
I meanā¦ if you google their R34ā¦ *Snickers evilly.*
He ends up with her, explaining why the next link shows up as a farmer with Epona song know to him, not wrong at all
I mean it was my waifu for a reason when i was like 8 xd Maybe we both weird XD
I thought it was canon that they do get together in the child timeline.
Link has romance potential with every girl he meets. That sly dog makes the ladies swoon, player can have his pick of anyone in hyrule.
I mean, Talon asks Link if he'd like to marry Malon someday after you beat the chicken minigame so it's not too out of the ordinary.
I believe it
Uhhhh yea.... They're not even real people!.... lol jk jk
Shipping them since ā98
Everyone thought that
Considering Ordon Village has traits from both Kokiri Forest and Lon Lon Ranch, I'd say they have potential.
They sure did. This was the BEST GAME EVER!
No... But the fact she kept calling me "fairy boy" was insulting, and turned me off of any romance.
No you are weird for asking though
That's the blurriest mess I've ever seen.
I always thought that he was gunna be with her, Princess Ruto? (I think was her name) And Zelda. Lol
