Twink is the only constant

Link is destined to be with Ganon and no one can change my head canon

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every man must slay his own demons. What if Ganon is just a stand in for Link's latent homosexuality and the whole story is him finally accepting himself for who he is rather than fight it.

Link's Awakening.

Makes more sense this way

Ironically one of the games without Ganon. Although iirc the nightmare does take the form of Ganon at one point? So maybe

Counterpoint: "A Tale of Two Rulers" by FigmentForms, a webcomic in which Zelda marries Ganon.

What is the tri-force if not a metaphor for their thruple?

A physical representation of the three goddesses' magical power of creation in Hyrule.

The only thing Ganon deserves is a sword through the head, stop shipping dictators, if you really must that's what Furry Hitler is for.

In an alternative universe where Nintendo wants to be seen as progressive, they make Link blatantly gay, have him give up Zelda at the steps, and he powerbottom rules Hyrule with Ganondorf with absolute power, compassion, and a heart of gold; ushering in a new feudalist empire that reaches for the stars.

That would be fucking awesome. Alas.

What is t4t in this context?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 2 years ago (2 children)

trans 4 trans, two trans people dating

A "beard" is a partner one has to appear straight to one's peers.

Often done to "keep appearances up" as it were.

Basically in this context they look like a het couple to those looking in but they're both queer and only keeping up appearances for one reason or another.

Are there fan theories that Zelda and Link are trans? I need to catch up on my fan theories! Haha.

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Yea I think it spawned from Zelda being way taller than Link 💀 and uh Link sure doesn't seem afraid to express a bit of femininity. Furthermore they are just pretty weird and queer overall. Maybe not enough to be trans, but I'll read into it, I'm not shy.

What the heck is Link wearing?

[–] jemikwa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 2 years ago

The gerudo outfit from botw. Original: https://i.redd.it/xr9p89ncjeda1.jpg

[–] Username02@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (4 children)

They are like siblings? Not every relationship need to be sexual.

[–] iviattendurefort@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're certainly not siblings.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago

That's why he put the like in there.

I've always got this vibe from them tbh, not to mention how similar they look in botw/totk

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Link is the alpha femboy. He pulls them all. Men, women, fish people, Gerudo, whatever the hell the lava people are, fucking eldritch abomination swinepeople...who doesn't wanna bang and be banged by him?
