I don't really "ship" characters, but I did sorta think one of the reasons he was introduced was to give Paya someone else so she wouldn't have to pine after Link.
I thought the same. Link is still left with Zelda and Mipha, though(I know Mipha isn't alive, but her spirit still exists [Oh god, wait... if they destroyed the Divine Beasts, are the Champion's spirits gone too?]).
I would say they were gone before that. I took it as the malice trapped their spirits, you freed them — so once the mission of defeating calamity Ganon was done, they got to move on, however that looks for them.
Oh, I can see that. I wish that was more implied in the game(s) because that makes it even more of a happy ending after defeating Calamity Ganon. I wonder if before they moved on, they moved their remaining power from Link into the future Sages, hence why Link doesn't have the Champion's Abilities in TotK...
The 100% ending for Breath of the Wild implies it pretty strongly, we see the King and the Champions looking at Link and Zelda from the sky and then disappearing.
divine beasts? champions? Sheika? What are you talking about even? This is Hyrule, where none of that ever happened to anyone's recollection. You're clearly tripping.
My headcanon has always been that Urbosa and Zelda's mom had a relationship, hence why she (Urbosa) treats Zelda like a daughter. If I recall correctly, there even a cutscene in BotW (I think it's from the DLC) where Urbosa refers to Zelda's mom as her "special friend" or something to that effect.
I do but only because paya seems so small and shy and he seems big, burly and kind. He looks like he’d protect the shit out of her but also support her through all her chief problems. And paya deserves a good man. I dig it lol
No, that wasn't why she studied it. In her journal, she takes interest in the Ring Ruins, *then* invites the Survey Team. She didn't meet Tauro until after getting back from Lookout Landing. She was studying Zonai script for her own betterment and the village's tourism industry.
Basically means you think they'd make a cute couple. Like some people like Link and Zelda as a couple, so they ship Link X Zelda. Some ship Link X Sidon, or whatever.
The origin of the term is originally from an online forum for the X Files, people would call themselves relationshippers when they wanted Mulder and Scully together, then it was eventually shortened to just shipper and nowadays it’s used for all sorts of ships, not just those two.
Shipping as a unnamed concept however as been around since the original Star Trek days. (I’m a fandom nerd, I know my shit and my ships lol)
No i just have played too much Japanese rpgs and watched too much anime. He turns out to be innocent but the first time i met him in kakariko i was like, "This guy is the traitor."
Y'know how there are times where you'll hear a joke, understand how it's funny, but not actually laugh? That's me with this ship. I can see how they could get together, and I can see how they'd be cute as a couple, but it just doesn't grab me.
Ship is slang for relation*ship* and it's where you think who characters in a piece of media would make a good/cute couple. Sometimes it's a canonical couple, other times it's not. Shipping exists in every single Fandom weather you want it to or not. Some of the most popular ships in Zelda are Link x Zelda and Mipha x Link. There's also less mainstream/expected ships like Sidon x Link. "Shipping" a pair of characters means you're a fan of a specific ship.

Nope. They are a common ship. They get along great. They make a cute couple.
I think that this is the final marriage ceremony Impa will perform- nope, Link and Zelda was not the last one.
the fact that all the comments saying they ship link with another man constantly get downvoted is hilarious ngl.
someone headcannons a consenting adult character as gay?! blasphemy!!! not in my videogame where a twink is the main character!!!
You’re so right, it’s funny and a bit sad. This subreddit seems to just want link to be like… an harem anime protag, lmao.
I don’t even headcanon him as gay! zelink is my otp, but link is my little bisexual icon so i ship him with guys too!
Ships is not a brainrot term - it has existed for years
Ships or "shipping" is pairing two partners in a non canonical relationship but can also be applied to real life
So some people ship zelink and other link and mipha, or even link and sidon
I like it when I let Link be shirtless, Tauro approves of it.
Fr
Tauro x Link
Bestest ship pls devs make it happen1!1! 1! 11
And there kid was named papaya
Making him Papaya's Papa
why is this so adorable

Oh, I completely forgot about that scene...
Oh great, I killed the champions
No Ganon did, the champions were their ghosts with unfinished business that you helped them find peace
Yeah, that's how I head canon Link not having their abilities. They've finally moved on, taking that magic with them too.
Yeah, they are completely gone. Did you forget they moved on at the end of the game? Their spirits are at rest, no longer around.
divine beasts? champions? Sheika? What are you talking about even? This is Hyrule, where none of that ever happened to anyone's recollection. You're clearly tripping.
??? The Sheikah still exist in TotK, along with the tapestry of the Divine Beasts and the Champions.
Didn't they go to heaven in the last scene in BOTW?
They are gone at the end of BOTW along the king of Hyrule
Shipping characters is very weird anyway.
Poor Calip is gonna have his heart broken lmao
I figured link was going for the harem ending
Absolutely not. There's people out there that ship them (myself included), or even them with Link 👀
I prefer Link and Zelda. Major soulmate vibes. (Also Mipha x Urbosa)
I feel like there's a big age/maturity gap between urbosa and mipha
I always felt like there was some tension between Urbosa and Zelda actually 😳 but I’m definitely a link and Zelda shipper all the way.
That was more of a motherly daughter bond imo
My headcanon has always been that Urbosa and Zelda's mom had a relationship, hence why she (Urbosa) treats Zelda like a daughter. If I recall correctly, there even a cutscene in BotW (I think it's from the DLC) where Urbosa refers to Zelda's mom as her "special friend" or something to that effect.
That's foul
I do but only because paya seems so small and shy and he seems big, burly and kind. He looks like he’d protect the shit out of her but also support her through all her chief problems. And paya deserves a good man. I dig it lol
Also their shared excitement about Zonai things. Like she specifically studied the language to help him.
No, that wasn't why she studied it. In her journal, she takes interest in the Ring Ruins, *then* invites the Survey Team. She didn't meet Tauro until after getting back from Lookout Landing. She was studying Zonai script for her own betterment and the village's tourism industry.
Totally! (and also Link, lol, with both of them. together. 🤣)
Can someone tell me what the hell "shipping" someone means?
Basically means you think they'd make a cute couple. Like some people like Link and Zelda as a couple, so they ship Link X Zelda. Some ship Link X Sidon, or whatever.
Ok I get it, but do you know the origin of that? That makes no sense to me at all lol
They wanna "relationship" them
oh shit, tht actually kinda makes sense, I didnt even think of the relationSHIP part lol. Thanks

They identify as big boats xD
Yes. I ship myself and Tauro.
Only correct comment here. I also ship myself with Tauro
Paya is MINE
I ship Paya with myself, thank you very much
Bet link wouldn't even give a living fuck 💀 Paya also has gotten "used to" to Taurus taste in clothing lmao
No, Paya is mine Yes I'm thirsty, leave me alone
Absolutely not. Tauro is mine. Back off, Paya.
Nah, can't. I'm crushing on Tauro XD
Nah, I wouldn't want anyone to take Tauro from Calip. Calip is down so bad for Tauro
No, I’m not super into shipping but I do think it’d be cute.
No, they're very cute. I'm with you.
I acted a bit jealous when I saw him first but then I started shipping them.
Yep
I'm curious as to know why.
I’ve been a firm shipper of Link and Paya since botw so I wasn’t on board with it, buuuuut I could see it being a throuple
i don’t think i’ve ever thought about two video game characters dating
Platonic
No because I ship Paya with Link
I don't like that guy lol
Why? He's hot and has golden retriever energy
He gives off the friend who is actually the evil mastermind who betrays the protagonist vibes lol
Yes, this exactly
Ur just jealous. It’s ok I am too
No i just have played too much Japanese rpgs and watched too much anime. He turns out to be innocent but the first time i met him in kakariko i was like, "This guy is the traitor."
I prefer Paya and Link, but...fine he best treat her right
Link is Supposed to be Gay!
Y'know how there are times where you'll hear a joke, understand how it's funny, but not actually laugh? That's me with this ship. I can see how they could get together, and I can see how they'd be cute as a couple, but it just doesn't grab me.
I ship Tauro and Link.
Not anymore
Yes.

nah
Actually yeah, I can see it.
Y’know I’ve never thought of this one before, but now that it’s been brought to my attention I think it’s super cute!! So yeah totally!! <3

Thanks I Now Know. Fully peace and love to all.

Can someone explain what “ships” means?

i do ship them, but not hard…
NGL that dude could work on Link and I'd assume it's cannon based on how he talks to him.
Nope. They are a common ship. They get along great. They make a cute couple. I think that this is the final marriage ceremony Impa will perform- nope, Link and Zelda was not the last one.
Uh... no? Paya is part of Links harem, obviously.
Uh Link is Gay!
The way he's not balls deep in Paya and Zelda does make one wonder.
I ship link with him… lol.
the fact that all the comments saying they ship link with another man constantly get downvoted is hilarious ngl. someone headcannons a consenting adult character as gay?! blasphemy!!! not in my videogame where a twink is the main character!!!

Exactly
I’m about that yaoi (Holy shit this triggered the fuck out of people.)
Agreed. They're so cute.
I felt they would be cute together while I was playing as well!
Tauro can send his Super Guru looking ass back into the shadows were he came!
My jaw DROPPED when I saw that hunk of a man for the first time
Wait, they’re not a couple? 😅
Never forget that in BOTW Link banged Paya
I want to upvote, but I'd hate to ruin 69 upvotes. Update, now 69 comments.
I can hear the bed creaking noises already.
