His Name Is Link

@zelda-heritage-posts

"Why don't people recognize Link in TOTK" bc everyone imagines the legendary swordsman to be built like Ganondorf and Link doesn't bother correcting anyone bc being hailed as a hero is like on the bottom of his priorities, which are topped by things like "Bake one of every pie"

Rando farmer: They say that once the noble hero of legend passed by this very village! Isn't that wonderful to imagine, genderfluid stranger?

Link, 5'6" with 2" heels and wearing a backless dress suspiciously stained with blood: no yeah that's wild

"Wouldn't they recognize him bc he's with Zelda" Everyone interacting with Zelda was like "Wow, the princess!! The princess who saved Hyrule is here, talking to us! Plus some guy with three sets of pronouns who's building a bomb but more importantly The Princess!! Wow!!"

Playing BOTW: I am in a vast wilderness! I am exploring nature! I am collecting apples! I am finding treasure!

Playing TOTK: I am in a vast wilderness! I am exploring nature! I am collecting - oh my god the trees are alive and trying to kill me! Who thought it was a good idea to give the floormaster steroids?! THE BASEMENT IS FUCKING HAUNTED!!!!!!

[ID: A screenshot of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. Link is standing incredibly close to the camera, which is looking down at him, and can only be seen from the waist up. He's staring straight into the camera, face partially covered by the game HUD. There's all caps text on the bottom of the image that reads "No bitches?". End ID.]

Date of Origin: August 12th, 2022.
