Line #16 HoYay/TheLegendOfZelda


1	* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', with Link and the Poe Collector; the first time he encounters Link he says: "Oh...you are quite an energetic young man. You're brave and handsome, too... Heh heh heh...your name is Link, isn't it? Heh heh heh...don't be surprised. I can read people's minds. If I looked as good as you, I could run a different kind of business...heh heh heh..."
2	** [[ChickMagnet Women from all over]] are throwing themselves at Link, including TWO princesses, but the only one who he interacts with on a regular basis is the [[SweetPollyOliver blonde "boy"]] in the corner playing the lyre (and Link's always so ''intent'' on finding [[SmokeOut where]] [[{{Bifauxnen}} "he"]] [[SmokeOut disappears to]]).
3	--->'''Sheik''': It is something that grows over time... a true friendship. A feeling in the heart that becomes even stronger through time...The passion of friendship will soon blossom into a righteous power through it, you'll know which way to go...
4	** The leader of the Gorons, Darunia, calling Link his sworn brother and wanting to give Link a bear hug along with the other male Gorons for his success in helping rid their cavern of an evil monster. He also gives him the Goron Ruby as a symbol of their friendship. Darunia and the other Gorons become big fans of Link for his courage.
5	* ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'':
6	** Kafei and Link has a following, possibly owing to Kafei's curiosity towards Link and his willingness to trust Link.
7	** Link departs Hyrule in ''Majora's Mask'' for the purpose of finding a dear friend. He finds himself on another quest to save the world from the moon crashing down. He defeats the evil behind the plot who was possessing Skull Kid in the form of Majora's Mask. Following being saved by Link, Skull Kid decides he likes him and, as he was looking for a friend to begin with, they end up playing together and a tree stump depicts a drawing the two did of them holding hands.
8	** The moment when Skull Kid (while being possessed by Majora's Mask) looks to be frisking Link's unconscious body at the beginning when seeing if he has anything he can steal.
9	* In the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Seasons]]'' manga, Ricky the ''kangaroo'' was quite gay for Link: gushing over [[TheChosenOne the Chosen Hero]], oozing admiration at Link's sword skills, and openly voicing his disappointment at the possibility of him having a female love interest... Ricky having a pouch makes this one [[ViewerGenderConfusion questionable]].
10	* ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'' has Carlov the sculptor. After you get the color picto box, you can give him pictures and get figurines that give you information on any character, enemy, or boss (always at least one tidbit the rest of the game doesn't tell you.) Well, if you take a picture of figurine enthusiast Manny (the guy who hangs around the gallery) and give it to him, though he's excited about ''any'' subject you give him, he'll gush about this one in a way that's ''very'' hard to see as platonic. "That golden, freshly brushed hair... That stylish, yet unassuming bod... Why, this is a mighty handsome man! Mercy! My very soul compels me to make a figurine from this picture!" Oh, and the official art of him is holding a figurine. Of who? Yes, Manny. (Carlov gushes even more about the subject's beauty if you take a picture of Carlov himself, though; he seemingly doesn't recognize the picture as himself.)
11	* In the ''[[Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwords2004 Four Swords]]'' manga, there's some flamingly obvious HoYay between Red Link and Blue Link, which certainly says some [[ScrewYourself interesting things]] about Link in general...
12	* Purple Link/Vio and [[EvilTwin Shadow Link]], especially after Vio [[spoiler:[[FakeDefector switches sides]].]]
13	* ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'': After her life was saved by her (temporary) HeroicSacrifice, Midna was noticeably a bit too intimate when it came to Princess Zelda...since they ''did'' [[spoiler:share a body]] for quite some time... This seemed to be returned by Zelda, since in the final scene [[spoiler:she appears to be even more disappointed than Link that Midna is leaving forever.]]
14	%%** Colin idolizes Link more than the other kids.
15	%%** Link sumo wrestling with Mayor Bo and Gor Coron.
16	* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'':
17	** Given some of her dialogue/behavior, as well as how fiercely protective and devoted she is toward Zelda, it can make one a little curious as to the exact nature of the relationship between Impa and [[spoiler:Hylia]] before the events of the game.
18	** Ghirahim's implied interest towards Link. He has NoSenseOfPersonalSpace around him on two occasions and [[http://whereareyouravengers.tumblr.com/post/107174364379/%CA%96-what-place-ghirahim-%CA%96 although in this picture]] Ghirahim is merely getting low to the ground before sneaking up behind Link it certainly looks like's he's going down on Link. He even talks about the two being tied together by a [[RedStringOfFate "thread of fate"]] that is suspiciously [[RainbowSpeak highlighted with red text.]]
19	* In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'', Prince Sidon basically becomes Link's biggest fan after he purifies Vah Ruta and saves Zora's Domain from destruction and often exclaims how incredible Link is with extreme enthusiasm. Additionally, there's a male NPC at one of the stables who will comment that Link has extremely beautiful features and is hit on when he's DisguisedInDrag as a Gerudo woman or by an AmbiguouslyGay male NPC.
20	* In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom Tears of the Kingdom]]'', the introduction of Sidon's fiancée (and later beloved wife) Yona doesn't reduce the level of subtext between Link and Sidon. If anything, there's even ''more'' than in the previous game. Yona's introduction comes right after de-gunking a statue in the center of Zora's Domain... which depicts ''Link riding Sidon'' when they were fighting Vah Ruta. She claims that any time that Sidon opens his mouth, it's likely to be so he can tell everyone how great Link is. Corroborating this, of the 11 monuments Sidon created to replace the damaged monuments from ''Breath of the Wild'', ''three'' of them focus on Link. After [[spoiler: becoming the Sage of Water, Sidon [[ItMakesSenseInContext gets down on one knee, asks for Link's hand, and gives him a ring.]] After finishing the Water Temple, Yona admits that she now thinks Link is as amazing as Sidon says; which can be read as [[{{Polyamory}} letting Sidon and Link see each other on the side]] or even [[OneTrueThreesome wanting to share Link with Sidon]].]]
