it’s always “kataang is hero gets the girl so it’s sexist” but have u ever considered that katara is the hero and the people’s princess aang is her reward
nintendo: it’s up to interpretation
also nintendo: they’re married, live together, go on dates, link says he has a special girl, he’s her CHOSEN protector & named ZELDA’S loyal swordsman, “taidama”, + he follows her around like a lost puppy
can we stop acting like BOTW Link is scrawny,, he’s been a knight since 12, climbs mountains daily & got the core strength to paraglide all day?? he’s not Tauro but he’s the most athletic guy in hyrule
reminder that link and zelda’s core characteristic is their innate, self-destructive unyielding goodness that no amount of pain can change in any incarnation
i’ve said it once i’ll say it again. no character trope will ever hit as hard as "i have every reason to hate the world and watch it burn, but i will choose to love instead. every time i will choose to love."
the way link kept getting back up until he knew for sure that zelda would be safe, and when he finally sees her sealing power unlock, he lets himself rest
hate those “kataang” fics where katara is just so “confused” that she literally leads on aang for YEARS as if she wasn’t already down bad for him since The Boy in the Iceberg
a common misconception i see is that zelda hated being the princess, but i think she just hated not being able to fulfill her duty. she DOES want to lead hyrule & that’s why she was so sad in BOTW. in TOTK, we see her become the leader she was meant to be.
they’re so sweet and tragic i cannot explain how much i love zelink guys like why did nintendo make the greatest love story of all time without even trying 😭😭
he may have been a loser but you have to appreciate the sheikah poet for being kind enough to keep the champions’ memory & dedicate his life to ancient music

why does everyone villianize calypso sm 😭 this girl was stuck on an island for three millennia in extreme isolation and she’s pissed at the gods…i think she didn’t curse annabeth but she incidentally cursed percy with her thoughts rather than purposely wishing misery??
link as a womanizer or super-uncaring/unmotivated person…zelda fans make him into a horny, lazy selfish guy who doesn’t care about the main quest when irl he’s a knight whose main purpose is to serve others & protect zelda
atla tumblr is a worse version of twt tbh. “tragedy” ma’am she CHOSE to be with aang. she’s not “trapped” for choosing love and happiness. as if katara would ever let aang step over her…”neglect” doesn’t work when there was 0 communication of said neglect.
i’m so tired of seeing fanarts that make him ridiculously skinny and twinkified like no 😭 it’s just the botw art style that makes him tiny like ain’t no way that fanon link could beat ganon with arms the size of my fingers
@pipercys
i love percabeth as much as everyone else but pretending like calypso is super evil because of a moment’s anger isn’t how anything works esp considering she is one of the gods who has been mistreated as much if not worse than the demigods
if she had, her entire character would mean nothing but sacrifice. zelda has sacrificed so much over the entire LOZ series, it’s ridiculous for her most developed iteration to end up becoming a mindless beast. it literally serves no purpose but dumbass tragedy
anyways. the end. let’s all stop shipping link and zelda because they are TOXIC and have never cared about each other.
look, he’s only reaching so far because she’s his employer!!
