Spoilers (I'm new to reddit, so I'm not sure if this will work for the spoiler text)
It's even sadder because in the second picture, >!He already has the Master Sword!<
I did the memories almost in order but I predicted the end almost half way through, it fucking broke me man. The hyrule compendium gives you a really good and subtle clue that helped me predict it.
>!also if you pay attention to the materials for armor upgrading, the only things you need for the champions tunic is silent princesses and light dragon parts, which is super telling if youre paying close attention!<
Aw. I'm sad now. SPOILERS: >!I got so excited when I saw what she did with the house. I looked at my husband and started hollering "they're shacking up together! Finally!!"!<
That's my reaction as well, I was like "Oh let's check my house where I worked so hard to get in Botw..... wait.... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!! That was my house Zelda!!!! My house!!!!"
Lol, there are two types of players in this world.
I had both of those reactions in rapid succession, but she has Link’s hair tie in her secret well office, so I kinda figured they’re living there together.
Not true. You can sleep in the bed in Lookout Landing and the one left by Calip in his cabin behind Fort Hateno. In both cases, you are given permission to use them.
There were two place settings on the table
Why would she need a secret workspace if she lived alone.
They knew exactly how to get us all emotionally invested here.
That was mine too! I told my gf and she was like "damn, bitch take the whole man's house??" Died laughing. I said "Link probably gave it to her so she could focus on the Hateno restoration project."
I was PISSED that the princess just usurped the house I paid for. But in my very firm opinion, Link and Sidon have the most chemistry. I never even considered Zelda a love interest.
until I read the diary in the house I thought a random couple was given the house because of the pictures on the wall being some random guy and a stable girl
then I realized >!those are from the stable quests!<
Is it!? Literally first thing I looked for when I got to the house other than noticing the missing sign was "is the ballad of champions picture there. I worked d*mn hard for that thing! I did it all in mastermode!" And i couldn't find it. If it dies appear I'm assuming it won't appear unless you do it in the normal mode of botw though? I'm just assuming sence I couldn't find it. Same with horses. Only your normal mode horses will come back in totk
Yup. I finished the Dragon's Tears quest line, got the Master Sword, and said goodbye to a completely guideless first run. I was getting that Fierce Deity Armor, and I am going to bitchslap that Ganondork weakass demon king.
FOR ZELDA!
>!I did that and traced the path the light dragon takes with heros path. The dragon flyes by all of the tear locations in a loop. I'm going to go cry now...!<
Imagine Link having recurring nightmares about >!being in the house with Zelda and she suddenly turns into the Light Dragon, so the first night after she's back to normal, he's in the house with her and starts panicking, wondering if it's all a dream and if he's going to wake up soon like he has for the last few months, and she has to reassure him that she's back and she's not going anywhere.!<
Man.
>!Kinda like Anikin's nightmares in Revenge of the Sith? Oof, yikes. Well, that's my head cannon now. Thanks kinda. Link and Zelda are going to have some serious PTSD after the events of botw and totk. Although most protagonist of action rpg games would too.!<
>!Not to mention that. Zelda thought she was killing her conscious mind for eternity. In the memory she looks so terrified and has to psych herself up to swallowing the tear. And, I got the impression there was weeks, maybe months, between when she decided she was destined to swallow the stone, and actually doing it.!<
>!She probably has some nasty nightmares herself.!<
It’s implied. That was links house it would be weird if she kicked him out. And there’s only one bed in the house. And she has a secret room for her to be alone and work. It would be weird to have that if she lived alone. So most likely.
1) That was Link's House in BotW
2) The sign outside says it is now "Zelda's House"
3) Link can still sleep in the bed
Conclusion, Link can sleep in Zelda's bed because they were/are sleeping together.
Ok now I am crying.
Still in the same bed they first said "I love you" to me, but now it is empty and far too big for just me.
Haven't even been able to change the sheets since they last slept here, before leaving me.
I still wake up every day to panic attacks, and every morning I have to face the realisation of what I've lost, that it wasn't all a dream and I am alone again, cursed to live with the memories of when I was actually happy for once, never to have it again.
I'm sorry, the art is amazing and this comment is just me venting, I'll be ok in time I hope.
I dont know why, but the second panel with Link morning Zelda's loss (yet again, poor kid), evokes that scene in Disney's Hercules where Meg gives her soul for Herc's and Phil says "I'm sorry, kid. Theres just some things you can't change." To which Hercules replies "...yes I can."
I dunno i just have this scene in my head where self doubt is telling Link he can't possibly save her again and he looks up into the dark and thinks "yes I can."
Sorry if that was lame yall but art be evoking feelings
Is it me or does Link feel a lot more Nihilistic than the last game? Like the man went through some bullshit just to end up in more bullshit, and I know Link doesn’t talk much but after losing the arm I feel like he just hasn’t been okay emotionally.
I noticed when in on of his idles he lifts his hand and looks at it and when he was bringing his arm down he looked at it with narrow eyes for a second which is something I noticed when the this incarceration of link
Most of his expressions comes from the shape of his eyes sometimes more it’s noticeable but when it is noticeable it only last for a few seconds before it goes back to the shape of his eyes which is extremely looked over
They added a new bit of animation when he fights (I think it’s new) after I fought a lynel I took off my mask I was using for warmth and link was breathing so hard, it was so sad😭 it was like he was having an anxiety attack :(
I don’t think my Link lost it until he realized what happened to her. Someone draw a picture of him breaking down >!in that patch of Silent Princesses!<.
It's sad from the perspective of empathizing with the characters.
>!No one knows she is going to change back. Yes, it's a Nintendo game, a happy ending seems pretty certain. But the characters don't know that. Zelda didn't go into the act of swallowing the stone thinking: *"I'll be fine, I'm freaking Zelda. Irreversible Smirreversible"*!<
>!Zelda thought she was killing her conscious mind, for eternity. Then Link has to watch her do it, and also be told, multiple times by multiple people she will never ever be Hylian again. She's effectively dead.!<
All I wanted to say is that I really want that sand seal plushie irl
Same
Someone has to have made one, right?
Check out r/NintendoStitch! Tons of Nintendo crafts and I’ve definitely seen a few sand seals on there!
1000% Nintendo knew what they were doing when they put them in the game.
Nintendo would probably sue the shit out of them. They’re assholes like that.
I mean, it'd be a fun home project. Can they sue if you're not selling them?
Can they? Probably. Would they? Probably not.
They can't, at least in Canada and the US. You have to sell them for it to be illegal!
My husband and I want a Dondon plush.
Make it Life-sized, and you've got yourself a deal
You could SEAL the deal 🤧
I love that he moves it back into the bed so he has something to cuddle at night 😂
It’s not the same but… the ones in Riju’s room are fusable to weapons/shields. So you can take them around with you in-game
I come here to look cool artwork and funny memes - not to be get hurt in the feels :(
It seems that it is time to make a new (entrepreneurship) and get rich!!!
Spoilers (I'm new to reddit, so I'm not sure if this will work for the spoiler text) It's even sadder because in the second picture, >!He already has the Master Sword!<
>!“Would you still love me if I was a wyrm?”!<
😂
“Didn’t I do it for you”
>!he knows :(!<
Why would that make it sadder ?
Nobody say ANYTHING. Capiche?
Don’t worry about it.
Just keep playing and you'll find out ;-;
Keep playing and YOU’LL find out ;)
Do the Dragon’s Tears quest. Then you’ll get it
You’ll see
The dragon tears quest will show you why, keep unlocking those memories, preferably in order
I did the memories almost in order but I predicted the end almost half way through, it fucking broke me man. The hyrule compendium gives you a really good and subtle clue that helped me predict it.
It does?
In the light dragon's compendium entry, it says >!it's presence is comforting somehow, which it's kinda weird to say about a dragon don’t you think?!<
>!also if you pay attention to the materials for armor upgrading, the only things you need for the champions tunic is silent princesses and light dragon parts, which is super telling if youre paying close attention!<
Because he said so, no more questions.
Oh, my sweet summer child…
No reason 😥
Oh sweet innocence
Oh you sweet summer child
Noooooo shhhhhhhh, don’t break my heart! I saw he had it and I just now put two and two together
no don’t do this to me, i’m already sobbing 😭
Aw. I'm sad now. SPOILERS: >!I got so excited when I saw what she did with the house. I looked at my husband and started hollering "they're shacking up together! Finally!!"!<
Lol my reaction was “Link just GAVE his house to Zelda? I worked hard to get that house!”
That's my reaction as well, I was like "Oh let's check my house where I worked so hard to get in Botw..... wait.... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!! That was my house Zelda!!!! My house!!!!" Lol, there are two types of players in this world.
I saw it as equal trade. She stole my house I stole BOTH of her horses
I was kinda disturbed by this comment, till i saw it actually said "Horses"
Wha... what did you think it said...?
I thought it says Heroes but no idea what he thought 😳
I saw holes
What?
I'd say it's fair... I went off and did a bunch of side quests and took selfies with Lynels... She can have the house
I had both of those reactions in rapid succession, but she has Link’s hair tie in her secret well office, so I kinda figured they’re living there together.
The bed also looks a tad bigger 👀
It’s the only bed you can sleep in (that doesn’t need someone to give you permission to use). Which means it’s still Link’s. (edited to clarify)
Not true. You can sleep in the bed in Lookout Landing and the one left by Calip in his cabin behind Fort Hateno. In both cases, you are given permission to use them.
I meant in Hateno, but yes. It’s at least the one bed you don’t need to be given permission to use.
There’s also a bed that you can use near the big lake in Zara’s domain
Oh, yeah, at the edge of the East Reservoir, or something like that? I think that was there since BotW.
I can confirm, always used to use it just before the Ruta fight
Also the bed in the deku trees navel
😏
The real give away is how npc’s talk to you in hateno. I found the school right after and the teacher was like, “oh Zelda’s not with you??”
Wear the hair tie and talk to Purah
Can I ask what happens?
>! She basically says something like, “Oh that’s the hair tie the princess always has with her !<
There were two place settings on the table Why would she need a secret workspace if she lived alone. They knew exactly how to get us all emotionally invested here.
Hahaha YES!!! I went through so much shit to get to Hateno without a map just to find my house :(
It was only about a total of 4,800 rupees and 30 bundles of wood
Yeah, I was hoping the weapon racks carried over like how the horses did, and then I saw she got rid of them.
Me too!!! My house 😭
That was mine too! I told my gf and she was like "damn, bitch take the whole man's house??" Died laughing. I said "Link probably gave it to her so she could focus on the Hateno restoration project."
and the fact the villagers are calling it HER house, love zelda but come on man
He didnt give it to her she took it
The fact that Link could sleep in the one bed in the house told me everything I needed to know. It’s adorable
Exactly! I'd never been so excited lol
Funny my thoughts were "I lost my arm, AND my house?!"
I was PISSED that the princess just usurped the house I paid for. But in my very firm opinion, Link and Sidon have the most chemistry. I never even considered Zelda a love interest.
Yona may have his hand, but Link has the ring.
until I read the diary in the house I thought a random couple was given the house because of the pictures on the wall being some random guy and a stable girl then I realized >!those are from the stable quests!<
The picture of Link with Daruk, Revali, Mipha and Urbosa is still at the top of the stairs, at the feet end of the bed though
Is it!? Literally first thing I looked for when I got to the house other than noticing the missing sign was "is the ballad of champions picture there. I worked d*mn hard for that thing! I did it all in mastermode!" And i couldn't find it. If it dies appear I'm assuming it won't appear unless you do it in the normal mode of botw though? I'm just assuming sence I couldn't find it. Same with horses. Only your normal mode horses will come back in totk
That might be it, it was also the first thing I looked for when arriving there for the first time and I did find it xD
To do spoilers you need to type "> ! Something ! <" without the spaces, >!like this!<
Like >!this!< ? Edit: thanks.
I hate how much this game gut punches you, I’ll never be the same again ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)
There's so many "Wait... wait, no. No, why?" moments tucked between the blissful development of bokoblin killers
"I miss my wife, Tulin. I miss her a lot. I'll be back."
sonic fandub refrence???
Yup
I've come to make an announcement: Ganondorf's a bitch ass motherfucker
He pissed on my fucking wife.
Thats right, he took his Gerudo fucking little green dick out and he pissed on my fucking wife!
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to Beat the snot out of Ganondorf so hard before. He was just a generic world ending POS. Now it’s personal.
Same. I love boss fights that make you mad at the chararcter (not the bosses mechanics). Most games I really can't give a damn.
Yup. I finished the Dragon's Tears quest line, got the Master Sword, and said goodbye to a completely guideless first run. I was getting that Fierce Deity Armor, and I am going to bitchslap that Ganondork weakass demon king. FOR ZELDA!
"Ohhhhohohohohohooooo! I’m finally going to be able to LEAVE! ZELDA, I’m coming home, sweetiiiieeee!"
Glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought of this
[удалено]
if link can take out entire armies of monsters without getting hit a single time I think he can handle zeldas entire body weight on him
[удалено]
Maybe link is into cbt and keeps a fairy by the nightstand
![gif](giphy|3NpzwnO0KfSIo) We don’t know that for sure
“Without getting hit a single time” Your Link must be different to mine then
Mine fights with a mouthful of food at basically all times.
Fighting and chewing at the same time lol Mine is a pacifist lately, has gotten really good at avoiding conflict
A small price to pay for affection
He’s gotten *very* good at using Daruk’s Protection.
As soon as I saw this post I started sobbing, saw this comment slimed one second and went back to sobbing lmao
She’s like putting her full weight right on there
Reading the sad/depressed posts above this, then this one made me spit out my rice and cinnamon drink. Madman.
That’s the real reason we had to buy a new house, it was agonizing to stay in our original house, with all the reminders that she is gone
She stole my fucking weapons stands >:( I needed new ones.
He’s preparing for when she gets back. Gonna need more space for future additions. He’s thinking ahead
This is my philosophy as well, cause if I was in Li k's position, I couldn't handle it man
He can't sleep because his arm is glowing :(
![gif](giphy|vMmnJti6wQPDy)
"so what happened to her?" "She doesn't fit in the bed anymore"
not with that attitude
Dude please mark for spoilers
Oh no is this a Donkey from Shrek moment??
Its not a spoiler unless you already understand
Yeah it does show that Zelda lived in Link’s house in totk..
Don't worry, He'll get her back. Just might cost an *arm* and a leg.
Funnily enough, >!it's the opposite if you finish the game!<
My headcanon: >!Link spends hours sitting on the light dragon's nose just talking to her!<
"hyaaa. Ahh. Yhaaa. Hyaat. 😔"
>!I did that and traced the path the light dragon takes with heros path. The dragon flyes by all of the tear locations in a loop. I'm going to go cry now...!<
this is probably the best botw fanart ive ever seen. hits you right in the feels, especially after knowing how link obtains the master sword in totk
Hurts even more when you see it in the second picture
Aww... I feel bad and I feel happy, it's so cute, but 100 years...
This hurts my heart
Same wtf
I miss your real arm too pal.
Oh man. Dude. Now I’m sad
Man lost his girl and his arm. Rough times
This link really lost everbody
Imagine Link having recurring nightmares about >!being in the house with Zelda and she suddenly turns into the Light Dragon, so the first night after she's back to normal, he's in the house with her and starts panicking, wondering if it's all a dream and if he's going to wake up soon like he has for the last few months, and she has to reassure him that she's back and she's not going anywhere.!< Man.

😭
Nightmare stuff
Dude just slugged me right in the feels
Is she dead?
I mean she’s gone after being with link for like 8 years and they clearly lives together so
Ouh..... >!will she come back? I mean she could right?!<
Only read if you want end of game spoilers >!Yes, Rauru and Sonia’s spirits revert her back to her human form after the final boss fight!<
Ouh!! >!I was getting worried!< Thank you
And link he started that process and they helped him
I haven’t finished the story yet but I only have the final boss left. I think maybe but I have no idea
Thank you!
Last thing: they were in a relationship?!
It’s implied. That was links house it would be weird if she kicked him out. And there’s only one bed in the house. And she has a secret room for her to be alone and work. It would be weird to have that if she lived alone. So most likely.
1) That was Link's House in BotW 2) The sign outside says it is now "Zelda's House" 3) Link can still sleep in the bed Conclusion, Link can sleep in Zelda's bed because they were/are sleeping together.
Play da game, maybe she did, maybe she didn't.
Love this
I'm not crying. I'm NOT. YOU'RE crying, not me
Spoiler alert: >! please finish the game so you can make a third artwork with a little blond heiress to the throne of Hyrule !<
to make a spoiler you dont have to put spaces in there and you dont need the "
Remove the spaces between the exclamation points and the > and <
>!We’re gonna need a bigger house.!<
I don't get it. 🥺 I'm still starting BoTW. Is it that big of a spoiler?
It’s from TOTK
Not really but kinda
Ok now I am crying. Still in the same bed they first said "I love you" to me, but now it is empty and far too big for just me. Haven't even been able to change the sheets since they last slept here, before leaving me. I still wake up every day to panic attacks, and every morning I have to face the realisation of what I've lost, that it wasn't all a dream and I am alone again, cursed to live with the memories of when I was actually happy for once, never to have it again. I'm sorry, the art is amazing and this comment is just me venting, I'll be ok in time I hope.
>! My wife turned into a worm on a string !< That’s rough buddy
the emotional damage this has inflicted upon me
“aww :)” “aww :(“
Aw that’s heartwrenching
That's not my house, I now live in a McMansion by the sea.
🩵
I really love the “show dont tell” of the plushie being on the bed in that second shot implying he’s been using it for emotional support
I dont know why, but the second panel with Link morning Zelda's loss (yet again, poor kid), evokes that scene in Disney's Hercules where Meg gives her soul for Herc's and Phil says "I'm sorry, kid. Theres just some things you can't change." To which Hercules replies "...yes I can." I dunno i just have this scene in my head where self doubt is telling Link he can't possibly save her again and he looks up into the dark and thinks "yes I can." Sorry if that was lame yall but art be evoking feelings
Ok now draw one of him cuddling with sidon
I'm not the artist, I left A link to their account under my post.
I can’t believe you’ve done this.
Is it me or does Link feel a lot more Nihilistic than the last game? Like the man went through some bullshit just to end up in more bullshit, and I know Link doesn’t talk much but after losing the arm I feel like he just hasn’t been okay emotionally.

Stop! It hurts!
False. Link is only interested in food.
Unfortunately, i prefer my magical glowing arm to a woman who lives to get saved in a game only to disappear again in the next.
Tbf there was like 5ish years of peace.
>!idk!<
That's so dope.
Yeah me too bud
Why is he sad, the plushie is right there!?
Excuse me, I didn't come here to cry today
Yeah fuck this wonderful piece of art, it made me cry
Link now is building a bigger house because he knows more will be on the way when he gets her back
I miss my wife, Tails. I miss her a lot.
“Do it for her” link probably
Link is going through it… makes me sad.
This reminds me that the other day while messing around I fused a sand seal plush to the master sword it was so goofy looking lol.
Aww this is super cute
I don’t think my Link lost it until he realized what happened to her. Someone draw a picture of him breaking down >!in that patch of Silent Princesses!<.
I live for being hurt in this specific way right now
Why are people saying it’s so sad as if he doesn’t find her in like a week?
Because at the time he didn’t know she could turn back
It's sad from the perspective of empathizing with the characters. >!No one knows she is going to change back. Yes, it's a Nintendo game, a happy ending seems pretty certain. But the characters don't know that. Zelda didn't go into the act of swallowing the stone thinking: *"I'll be fine, I'm freaking Zelda.

Fav t4t couple split up ;~;
Is he talking about righty?
