no but fr itโ€™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! thatโ€™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 heโ€™s alone. so he does it and he kills ganon bc he has to and itโ€™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 itโ€™ll take I pinky prommy <3 Iโ€™d lose my mind. I would be completely unfit for civilization Iโ€™d be so rabid. but itโ€™s link and itโ€™s Zelda and the whole point is that this wouldnโ€™t be getting asked of link if he wasnโ€™t someone who would always say yes, so WHATEVER I GUESS.

look if weโ€™re all gonna be sharing what it is about zelink weโ€™re sane and normal about, itโ€™s theย โ€œis it real if itโ€™s destiny?โ€ for me. linkโ€™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 heโ€™s supposed to, because he has to to throw himself in danger like that for the sake of hyrule? does it matter less if itโ€™s not organic? how do you reconcile not knowing if the love you feel for someone else is there because itโ€™s real, or because someone put it there? just because itโ€™s fate doesnโ€™t mean itโ€™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, heโ€™d pick it every time.

i'm literally so insane about inter-botw/totk zelink. what if we never left each other's side. what if we were all we all we had of each other's home. what if the lines between us blurred to the point that we were seen as a single unit. what if we lived together. what if our clothes grew dirty and tattered from our service together. what if we rebuilt the world we love with our own hands. what if we shaped the ashes of the kingdom we served in each other's image. what if our service to the people was so great that we were demystified as princess and appointed knight and remystified for our kindness and magnanimity and service to those we swore to protect. what if we promised never to let anything happen to the other. what if we felt safest in each other's company. what if children drew us together.

(Spoilers) I'm obviously glad we got a happy ending, but before I beat the game I was caught up with the idea of her not turning back. I thought of her roaming skies of Hyrule forever and Link would occasionally come and keep her company after the defeat of Gannon. I'm glad the developers are not as angsty I as am though!
