Nintendo has just come up to you and demanded that you write the plot for the first Zelda game in which Link and Zelda are an indisputably canon couple. How would you make it work?

>hey zeld u wan sum fuk?

Considering that Zelda's powers are passed down by blood, I'd expect at least one villain to try and abduct her and Link's baby
>No CD-I
0/10
Adventure where Zelda has to uncover her powers/ collect mcguffins to defeat sand jew de jure and you help her, except this time she isn't offscreen chilling in a wack ass crystal prison the entire game? Wow that was hard.
But of course the appeal would have to be the character writing and that's harder to make interesting than to just have a basic TLoZ plot.
When I thought about it I figured cringy stuff like Ico-like handholding, affection mechanics or getting extra hearts from hugs would be stupid but let's be reasonable here, literally no video game ever tried to incorporate a cute relationship being consummated like that, it's always the ending or heavily avoided, so it'd be nice to see an attempt.
Maybe for posterity write Zelda as initially untrusting and uncomfortable rather than nice.
Make Zelda a man.
I make a shit game to match the shit pairing. I'll call it Skyward Sword.
Opening Scene:
>We see his cock
End of Act 1
Zelda is a tsundere, slightly dorky tomboy princess. Link is brave and handsome but shy around chicks. The two of them go on a quest to destroy Ganon and slowly realize their feelings for one another.
What's with that twilight princess' zelda? They barely knew each other in that game. Link has more chances bunging bug girl when with zeld.
>Maybe for posterity write Zelda as initially untrusting and uncomfortable rather than nice.
Everyone was mad at BotW for that
Sorry, game can't go beyond a T-rating
That was Spirit Tracks
>Everyone was mad at BotW for that
Midna started out like that and mellowed out. BotW Zelda really didn't get that luxury because her story was ass.
>Everyone was mad at BotW for that
That's because BotW had no actual progression, what you see in BotW is disjointed minute-long cutscenes that will likely go out of order and will be set hours of playtime apart. It could work if it was earned and had a payoff, in BotW it was just shit and made me wish they would set the game 100 years ago and had all of those characters be actual characters in the game instead of lmao post apocalypse Link has to be a loner because that's what we did in 15 games before shit.
It was traditional back then for people to marry for image over love
Tetra X Toon Link is sweet! SWEET!
You didn't let me finish.
Act 2:
>The entire middle section of the game
>There's a short sex scene between Link and Zelda. Don't worry, it's tasteful. It's behind a screen. You only see it in silhouette.
Act 3:
>Suddenly Ganon appears! Link throws a tank of oxygen into his mouth and shoots it and he explodes!
The end.
If you can't tell Zelda to fuck off and motorboat some fish I don't even want it.
What must I give up to get a Zelda game with shit like this in it?
based and heyzelduwansumfuk?"ok"pilled
Agreed.
>Opening scene, Zelda sucking links cock.
>Ganon grabs her and runs before Link can finish.
>Being the chad he is, Link refuses to climax unless he is inside a woman.
>Thus he must journey throughout hyrule to save Zelda so he can blow his load.
Good ending
>Link cuts ganon's head off, and nut's in Zelda's ass.
Bad ending
>Link took too long to save Zalda, and Ganon has already used her as a sex slave.
>Being the chad that he is, link refuses to have sex with any woman who isn't a virgin. He cut Ganon's head off, leaves her with Ganon's henchmen and fucks one of the 7 maiden's instead.

Secret Ending
>Link cuts Zelda's head off and nuts in Ganon's ass.
twlight princess zelda is worst zelda
>traditional back
What is it with links and fish girls?
please pardon my autism
I'd ask a certain artist to help write some secondary male characters into the plot
Never played TP, but I like her design better than Skyward Sword Zelda.
Never understood this ship. Why Young Link? Toon Link literally looks like an inkling.
>Everyone was mad at BotW for that
She's like that the entire game, not just "initially"
Since the memories can be found in any order they can't actually give her any character development
Toon link is taken
Because Toon Link has a girlfriend
god i wanna fuck twinklinks throat
Link and Zelda get married after BotW and have two kids, a daughter and a son. They grow old and the kingdom gets rebuilt and prosperous
Terminus becomes the center of weird time shenanigans and everyone who investigates ends up disappearing
...but...
She wrecked his life, dude
How?
I don't think BotW Link even has a libido
>Didn't play OoT
FACT #1: There's a better girl than Zelda in every single Zelda game.
FACT #2: Zelink is shit.
They get married but they never have sex due to her pure goddess blood, she pops out a new Zelda all on her own.
Basically Jesus and going along Nintendo's sfw guidelines.
I did. How did she wreck his life? She froze him for 7 years, then sent him back to give him back his lost time. How was his life ruined?
Tetra > Medli
ST doesn't even have any other girls
Mipha is shit
>implying Link can speak
>Traumatizes him
>Burdens him with saving a world that doesn't appreciate him
>Renders all of his work in the future moot
Link and Zelda love eachother and are married, but Link helps her find a man to give her a baby.
Medli isn't the only other girl in WW. Also, wrong.
Nobody cares about Spirit Tracks.
Still better than Zelda.
I already played Skyward Sword
Not in Wind Waker
>Link is the king of Hyrule
>Zelda is dead
>game takes place fifteen years after she dies
>they have a daughter together
It would be the first game where Link was a girl.
tetra >>> zelda
the two characters behave entirely differently until literally the last 5 minutes of the game, and throughout the whole thing that incarnation of zelda is objectively better as tetra than when she's the actual princess
Honestly the thought that every Zelda is related to Groose would be pretty fucking amazing.
>Also, wrong.
>Nobody cares about Spirit Tracks.
Abhorrent post
Zelda acts exactly like Tetra in the final fight.
Yeah, Zelda is usually the only girl who doesn't suck. The rest are usually furrys or just wierdos.
Malon in OOT is the only exception I can think of.
>Nobody cares about Spirit Tracks.
fuck q
nobody cares about you ether
Bullshit.
hence
>the two characters behave entirely differently until literally the last 5 minutes of the game
unless you're being snarky and saying you're so bad you had trouble with the ganondorf fight which even then changes nothing
Make Zelda a man so they can be gay lovers
They have a son together. But he sucks donkey nuts and becomes the villain. Meanwhile ganon's offspring finds Jesus and becomes the good guy.
>returns to her
>leaves her in the dust to search for a fairy that abandoned him
Well, after her reveal scene you don't see Zelda again until the final fight so Zelda is in character for 90% of her screentime
Point is they're a trash couple.
LinkxCremia
based and cat pilled
>"HEEEEEEEEYYYYAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
>"ok"
fixd
Being tasked to save the world didn't ruin his life.
He was doomed since he was a baby because of the Kokiri.
Did someone say cats?
>>they have a daughter together
Cucked as fuck
She didn't have to tie him up in all of this time travel nonsense. She could've just let him continue his life in the future so at least his trouble will have meant something
Bullshit.
You faggot's just get mad that the pirate girl is also a princess because for some reason you think strong female characters aren't allowed to look feminine.
There is literally no change in her personality, and I challenge you to find me any quote from the game that suggests otherwise.
I wouldn't. I'd just make a game where Link and Saria are a couple.
OH BOY SMOOCHING TIME
yes
post more
You are pants-on-head retarded. He was doomed to inevitably become a stalfos since he was a baby.
And if you want to "blame" anyone, blame the Deku Tree. He was the one that sent Navi to Link to put him on his quest.
It's a short comic

2/3
Why is that cucked? Did you fall for that dumb meme?
3/3
Very cute
>"Link, we are to be wed... but I fear there is something lurking just over the horizon that Hyrule must confront before either of us can think about love"
>Camera pans towards the sunset at the two look on from Hyrule castle's balcony
>"Is that wrong to say? Am I wrong to place my land above our..."
>Link is silent
>"I have had nightmares for the past year that have served as premonitions of a great calamity. One that will throw the world into disorder and relentless suffering. I want nothing more than to prevent this... but I do not want to have you believe that I mean my love for you is anything less than unconditional."
>Link looks away towards the sunset, as the last bit of a distant mountain eats away the final rays of light
>Then suddenly the ground begins to rumble and a dark essence envelopes the whole sky, consuming all the stars in sight. Zelda is taken by this force and as she's dragged away, Link's engagement ring cracks and falls to pieces on the ground
That's a better intro than Nintendo could ever produce
>Did you fall for that dumb meme?
It's not dumb if it's true. Letting your heroic name die because your wife squirted out the wrong sex is gaaaaaaay.
This artist has made checking twitter on Saturday a highlight of my week
>Link's engagement ring cracks and falls to pieces on the ground
This is the one thing I'd have to cut. Too cheesy
>Game Starts
>Castle
>Old Zelda and Old Link Sat on a Throne
>Ganon is coming back and we're too old to stop him, Son. Go around the realm and help people out until Ganon turns up and then kick his ass
or

>Soldiers can go do jobs for you to get you money or go find materials and dungeons
>Open world, can travel the realm with Hyrule Castle as a central hub to trade and rest etc. in.
also character creator where you can play as a girl uwu
user, do you know anything about biology?
What twitter? I find those extremelly cute.
Link and Zelda are married with children. Start off the game by killing off Zelda. The rest of the game is about Link taking care of their children and finding a new wife of the player's choice. Then he can have another child.
Just do what Spirit Tracks did and have Zelda and Link actually be together throughout the game and help each other out with puzzles and combat. Seriously this shit isn't rocket science.
>do you know anything about biology?
Don't need biology to know that having a son to pass the name on is better then losing it via daughter.
But you need to know about biology to know that the gender of your child is based on your sperm.
I said you write the story, not the gameplay. Having them work together is obvious
Out of all the girls across all the Zelda games, why would anyone choose Zelda? Talk about boring taste.
I guess thats true, but what's really important is that your genes are passed on to the next generation.
Thanks user.
Zelda used to be a great girl before Skyward Sword
That's exactly what would happen in a Zelda game. Stop trying to shame me
Something happens that forces Zelda to help Link and stay by his side. There, plot.
Peatrice is the type of girl you marry who gets fat but you still love her despite it.
Can't argue that
You're supposed to decide that something
Link is not even a Kokiri, I don't think you get to call other people retarded
No, you're even more retarded than I thought.
Link is a Hylian. His mom died when he was a baby during a war, and the Kokiri took him in knowing he would ultimately become a stalfos as a result.
>first Zelda game in which Link and Zelda are an indisputably canon couple
Skyward Sword exists.
It's canon that Link and Zelda fucked like bunnies and started the Royal Family
I reveal at the very end that that Link's mother was actually the queen of hyrule, that Link was the lost heir to the throne, and they were actually siblings the whole time.
It's got, like, 5 happy endings in one.
It's canon but it's not CANON
>heroic name
His name is fucking Link, who is a farm boy nobody in 99% of the games he's in. He's just going to get reincarnated a few generations later anyway
That's where his son/grandson and her son/half-brother comes in.
>become a somebody after moving his way up by effort and sacrifice
>NO DUDE HAVE A DAUGHTER AND GET KEKED YOURE GOING TO REINCARNATE ANYWAY
What does that even fucking mean
It means they're never shown kissing, getting married, etc. The OP premise is one where it's super explicit
It already exists, just not as a game.
You mean Skyward Sword?
see
>become a somebody
Are you implying Link needs to be a somebody to be happy?
Castle life would bore the fuck out of him and you're delusional if you think otherwise
>if you have a daughter you're a cuck
By that logic every King of Hyrule since forever is a cuck considering the only game Zelda had a brother was AoL. It's weird how the royal family manages to survive despite having no male heirs
hmmm really makes one ponder
The entire reason Link does anything initially for Zelda in SS is because he's in love with her. Just because you want a game to spell it out for you and get your dick hard, despite being a game made for children, doesn't mean it's not canon
I hope Tetra zelda is a thing in the next zelda gamu
But it's not part of the story in any meaningful way.
>doesn't mean it's not canon
Nintendo dances around it in every way possible.
Im convinced you Tetra fags are cloest lolicons who just like the idea of "qt brown chibi who treats you like crap until the last 2 hours of the game"
>By that logic every King of Hyrule since forever is a cuck considering the only game Zelda had a brother was AoL.
Yes.
When does she ever treat Link badly?
>But it's not part of the story in any meaningful way.
Nintendo named an entire track from the beginning of SS "Romance" that plays during a Link and Zelda moment, you spend the entire game chasing after her having flashbacks of you pining after her, and when you finally reunite with her she gives you the whole "i have to freeze myself in time lol" and Link visibly agonizes over it
>Nintendo dances around it in every way possible.
Does the concept of a game with a MAXIMUM of a T rating mean anything to you?
>sticks you in a barrel and catapults you at a stone tower
>"lol whoops guess my aim was off"
>Does the concept of a game with a MAXIMUM of a T rating mean anything to you?
TP had one too.
>>Nintendo named an entire track from the beginning of SS "Romance" that plays during a Link and Zelda moment, you spend the entire game chasing after her having flashbacks of you pining after her, and when you finally reunite with her she gives you the whole "i have to freeze myself in time lol" and Link visibly agonizes over it
I said MEANINGFUL. You could remove the childhood friend stuff from SS without changing a single aspect of the plot and maybe not even a word of dialogue
>Does the concept of a game with a MAXIMUM of a T rating mean anything to you?
Xenoblade 2 was a T-rated game
So she made a mistake. She was still helping him get his sister back.
I worded it wrong
A series with a maximum of a T rating
SS was E10+
>You could remove the childhood friend stuff from SS without changing a single aspect of the plot and maybe not even a word of dialogue
Doubtful
You have no reason to save Zelda if you're not lusting after her
And TP was T
>You have no reason to save Zelda if you're not lusting after her
The fate of the world hinges on it, dumbass
But you have no fucking clue of that. You didnt go down to the surface to save the world, you went down to find Zelda. The saving the world shit didn't come until later
You play as Zelda. You run a basic management style game where you must balance diplomacy with other nations, research into improving Link's equipment, and your own nation to maintain a positive cash flow. You then send Link out and take control of him in standard Legend of Zelda style dungeons done in retro 8-bit style. Dungeons are somewhat randomized. Gather rupees, consumables, and artifacts to open up other dungeons and areas, but no heart containers ever. If Link dies, he restarts at the palace and that particular time period is over. Research more swords to send out more Links to different or the same dungeons to progress further through. Manage your time, manage your rupees, manage your Links.
NG+ Lets you select different races with different stats, different buildings, different Links. Included are Goron, Zora, and Gerudo. Chuck in Birds from Berf of the Werth if wanted.
>You have no reason to save Zelda if you're not lusting after her
Your headmaster's daughter got kidnapped and you're pretty much the only one crazy enough to do it.
Zelda actually being able to do stuff and maybe even have gameplay segments/be a field partner would be a massive step up from the current formula
The ONLY reason you go to save her is because you two are flying around on your birds shooting KAWAII DESU looks at each other and Ghirahim's tornado sucks her down while kicking you away
None of that would happen if their romance wasn't shoved down your throat.
Hopefully that'll be apart of BOTW2
Because if the game is just another open world "zelda is kidnapped go save her" im gonna be pissed
>Hero of Time with Zelda
Absolutely false, he plowed Malon’s fields until the cows came home.
Game takes place after Ganon has already conquered Hyrule and extinguished the royal bloodline. You play as Link, an orphan conscripted into Ganon's army as a foot soldier. On a routine mission to crush some refugees, you come across a young woman. You find yourself unable to kill her and when the squad captain steps in to do it himself. You try to defend her and end up killing the captain. Branded a traitor, you escape with the woman, who reveals herself to be Zelda, the last remaining member of the royal family. Together, you work toward getting the lost princess on the throne. As her only confidant in a world that wants her dead, Zelda falls for Link, while still worried over where his true loyalty lies.
>But you have no fucking clue of that. You didnt go down to the surface to save the world, you went down to find Zelda.
You don't have to be in love with a girl to want to help and it;s obvious something is wrong when she gets sucked up in a magic tornado
thanks for saying the same thing in every Zelda thread
>You don't have to be in love with a girl to want to help
Yeah that explains why at an academy full of Knights riding birds around, Link was the only one who gave a shit to go save her
Maybe because he was in love with her and literally raced Groose just to get time alone with her and deny Groose the chance at hitting on her
Ghirahim would've kidnapped her eventually.
>Link was the only one who gave a shit to go save her
Because the others weren't visited by a magical sword spirit. He saves her because he's Hylia's chosen knight. That's it.
The Princess Bride with Zelda characters
Ok and?
My point is Link only cares because they're "childhood bestfriends" who spend the first hour of the game flirting with each other and the thought of losing her causes him to have nightmares and find a talking sword that calls him master and go on a quest to find that sweet blonde ass to procreate and make babies with
But he would have done it anyway regardless of his feelings because FI would've shown up and ordered him to do it in the name of Hylia
>He saves her because he's Hylia's chosen knight
If he wasn't friends with Zelda he would've just told the sword to fuck off
When has any Link ever done that?
Different games, different motivations.
Name one Zelda game that Link saved Zelda just becausethe first Zelda doesnt count
Tetra in Phantom Hourglass. Even though I think the two make an adorable couple
Link and Tetra had the entirety of WW to build up a friendship/romance so no Link did not save her in PH just because
Link had no awareness of a great threat to the world. He went after the ghost ship because it's the right thing to do
There isn't a single Zelda game where Link doesn't like Zelda as a person
Do people like this unironically besides Dobson
>No apple-bottomed Queen Bitch Zelda in canon
Why live
> He went after the ghost ship because it's the right thing to do
If he didnt know Tetra he wouldnt have.
Thats the entire point that you keep missing
Knowing someone =/= in love
The fact that Link loves Zelda is irrelevant and borderline optional to the story Skyward Sword tells. The same story could work if they were just friends
It was earned and did have a pay off. You can see their relationship progress and hear her own thoughts on Link. The payoff is when you finish Kaz's quests and find out that it was the power of true love that gave her the strength to stand up to Ganon.
>what you see in BotW is disjointed minute-long cutscenes that will likely go out of order and will be set hours of playtime apart.
This is a problem, how?
BotW makes the relationship way too one-sided. Link feels entirely professional in his conduct, saving Zelda because it's his job/destiny
>he didn't read Zelda's diaries
>Show don't tell
absolutely based
FISH DON'T WORK THAT WAY
>no zelda cdi
But Zelda wouldn't even give him a kiss for luck
Do.. do you not know the lore of the zora people?
He doesn't know bros
Tell me of the fishfag scourge
