no but fr it’s so fucked up that link has technically gone through this shit like 3 fucking times by the end of totk. he dies for this cause but nope! that’s not enough! wakes up a hundred years later with no memories or knowledge other than that he has to do this shit AGAIN only this time he’s alone. so he does it and he kills ganon bc he has to and it’s all he really knows how to do, but this!! is still not enough!!!! and so like a decade later he gets his arm ganked and his soulmate poofed and it turns out he has to try and kill ganon for the THIRD TIME and this time it’ll take I pinky prommy <3 I’d lose my mind. I would be completely unfit for civilization I’d be so rabid. but it’s link and it’s Zelda and the whole point is that this wouldn’t be getting asked of link if he wasn’t someone who would always say yes, so WHATEVER I GUESS.

look if we’re all gonna be sharing what it is about zelink we’re sane and normal about, it’s the “is it real if it’s destiny?” for me. link’s entire purpose is to care for zelda, to keep her safe. does he love her because he loves her, or does he love her because he’s supposed to, because he has to to throw himself in danger like that for the sake of hyrule? does it matter less if it’s not organic? how do you reconcile not knowing if the love you feel for someone else is there because it’s real, or because someone put it there? just because it’s fate doesn’t mean it’s not real love - what he feels is real, whether by design or not - and even if he only chooses to think that way because he has to in order to keep loving zelda, in order to keep sacrificing everything for her, he’d pick it every time.
