By the way, Malon is important. Without her Link wouldn't know eponas song and wouldn't be able to call her.
Eh, sorry to be off topic, but not really.  Sure, Epona makes crossing Hyrule Field faster, but she isn't all that necessary.  At least until MM, where you need her to gain entrance to Great Bay and Ikana.  Anywho, you probably could go through OoT without Epona.

But notice how Malon is always going for Link? Even from the beginning, she has a very strong attraction to him. And with what Adult Malon said about "getting a knight in shining armor"... That makes me  think that Malon and Link would be a very obvioous pairing.

If all the Links were related and all the Zeldas were related, and all the Links ended up with all the Zelda's, wouldn't that mean that Link ends up with his cousin?  :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Very distant cousins.

But of course that assumes they're all related in the first place.

That would just prove Hyrule is actually in West Virginia. :P

Link and Ruto? Imagin what thier kids would look like. :P

LadyNintendo

I guess they'd look like normal sea Zoras. Ofcourse, I can't be sure, but it seems logical to me that in most cases of two different races getting a child together (which we know is possible thanks to the Rito-Hylian-Zora relation), the child will be of its mother's race. We have never seen a hybrid (or one recognizable as one), but there are references to children with parents of different races and we know that relations between individuals of two different races is not abnormal.

Anyway, I'd like to mention Zoras are born from eggs, and Hylians(Humans) not. I don't know if a hybrid is possible, but it seems very inconvenient for the woman. So, I think that if it is possible, the children will be sea Zoras.

How do you know that the Hylians and Rito are related at all?

And a race which lays eggs is most definitely of a different species than one that gives birth. Thus breeding is impossible.

LadyNintendo

Read Koboli's figurine description in TWW. It's a very obvious hint. A lot of people either don't know or forget it.

I assume Ritos lay eggs (vaguely remember something about Komali's room about that), and they can breed with Hylians. And apart from that, we also have the Sages' bloodlines. Although I may have to look at that again after TP.

That's the one that says he's descended from a famous postman, right? Well, at the time it must have been referring to the one from MM, and that's impossible. Though I guess it could be retconned to be about the one from TP. Hmm, interesting.

LadyNintendo

Why would that be impossible? Where's it written that the Running Man is not a descendant of a long line of postmans or started them? Wasn't the Running Man in TMC as well and wasn't that located in Hyrule as well? Who says MM's Postman didn't move to Hyrule? Don't forget the obvious reference to MM Tingle in TWW.

The reference and link were obvious even before TP's release and very much possible.

I think I may see your point, LN; if anything, Zelda is quite adamant on lasting bloodlines. It's one of the chains that holds the various Zelda installments together.



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

Kingsley

It can only be Malon.

1. Zelda is a Princess, the king wouldn't allow it.
2. Nabooru is from a tribe of females, and I doubt she would be interested.
3. Ruto is a Zora, and it would just be too weird.
4. Saria would be perfect, but he is going to grow up, and she won't.

LadyNintendo

1. I don't recall any mentioning of a royalty-marries-royalty system in TLOZ.
2. She sorta mentioned she was interested. I don't know about her tribe's rules.
3. Just what are you trying to say? That it's impossible to get married because they are from different races or that you are too shallow minded to picture them together? I'm NOT insulting you, but I think it's very awkward two people who love eachother can't be together just because you consider it "weird". Think about it, what is "weird"? Weird is anything you have never come across before, never thought of before or something you cannot explain. "Weird" is a lack of knowledge and experience, but only something new for the individual who considers something "weird". I remember three moments in the games that hinted at Zora-Hylian couples not being something new or very rare.
4. Again, what does it matter they are from different races?  

Hi no Seijin

What LadyNintendo said.  Also, Link is not limited to any females with names in the game.  He very well could end up with the female half of Honey and Darling (she's Darling, right? :-\ ).  Or he could end up with that girl chasing the cucco around in Hyrule Castle Town.  Or you could pair Link with a girl not even seen in the game.  And that's just OoT.  There are multiple Links, and the Link from ALttP probably isn't going to be hooking up with Nabooru, seeing as how there's probably a thousand years, give or take a hundred, between them.

Just about the only female with a name in the Zelda series that I would put with Link is Marin, because the game strongly suggests that they go together.  But that'll be sort of hard to pull off, seeing as how Koholint Island was nothing but a dream.  Well, I could rip off Dark Link's idea from Eloze, but I'm not about to do that.

I'm kinda theorizing the "Dream World" is a real world as well. The nightmares were very real and in TMC, Link could bring something from the dream world to the Hyrulean dimension. So it might be dream Marin still exists. Link only has to find a way to get there.
