[ALL] If most of the Links are different people then...

Humor

If all of the Links in most of the games besides a select few are separate people, and they seemingly never end up with Zelda, and there's a curse on the spirit of Link and the blood of Zelda, does that mean that Link gets cucked in every single game dying a virgin who then reincarnates while Zelda just keeps poppin' out more Zeldas from Chads?

This is actually half serious since how does the reincarnation work? Do they have kids? If so who with? This seems pretty important.

Perspective man. You can look at him like a cuck but he’s just the hero of time dude. I’d rather not force a negative perspective on something that isn’t bound by our shitty reality.

But SS Link and Zelda loved each other right? And then they're split up, Link is reincarnated every few thousand years, and Zelda more often than that. This means there's a lonely Zelda every few generations breeding with her extended family to continue the bloodline, then another Link comes, they don't end up together, and the tragedy repeats.

So the two that loved each other are being perpetually split up and cheating on each other without knowing it. That's positively depressing and incredibly shitty.

This is a such a complex topic to just say “cheating” To me it makes for such a compelling character story. Link continue sacrifices all human desires to save the world time and time again. To link I’m sure he loves and wants to be with her absolutely, but to sacrifice the world because of the flesh is so not like a hero. I enjoy self sacrifice in a hero above all else, especially the ability to be more than human. Because humans are weak

Yeah but that's like saying Mark is a strong person because even though his wife cheated on him, he still raised the child as his own and gave them all the love and support they needed. That's great, but Mark's still a cuck and I can't really enjoy, be happy about, or respect that.

Mark isn’t the hero of time. Stop applying a fantasy to your reality, Otherwise you are just going to continually be ruining your own enjoyments. Link is a fictional character in a video game not focused on fucking bitches and getting cucked. Reevaluate your own fears and don’t project them onto a pure fantasy game.

You seem to be forgetting that every female born into the Royal Family is names Zelda, regardless of reincarnation status. We don't even know if SS Zelda ever reincarnates, since the curse is on "the blood of the goddess".

Also, saying that cheating is happening because a past-life you have no recollection of was in love with someone else, and that loneliness is the result is kind of a weird point.

Zelda needs to be in the royal family, but the Hero can be whoever shows enough courage. Some Links may have sired other Zeldas, like the Link in TLoZ and Zelda 2.

It's hard to look at a childhood hero now knowing that he is a gigantic cuck whose love interest is cursed to have sex with other men in her extended family for procreation for the rest of repeated time while he is alive at the same time and meets her every time.

My head canon says that child Link got together with Malon. That’s why Link in TP works on a ranch and is a natural farmhand.

Still makes him a big ol' cuck though since he was originally with Zelda in SS and they're all reincarnations of the original two.

Is it implied Zelda HAS to have children, or just that her family bloodline must continue, not necessarily through her?

Honestly this just seems really fucked up if they're forced to perpetually breed with other people and never get together in order to fight Ganon. Really takes the magic away from the simple nature of the game.

Just cause they're reincarnations of the originals doesn't mean they have to act exactly like the originals. The Hero's Shade and TP Link are very different people, as far as we can tell, and they're related.

Why would they all wanna date Zelda and only Zelda? There are other girls.

2
LimnirOP•

Because they're all, in spirit, the same two people who originally fell in love in Skyward Sword.

No, they’re not. Zelda is literally just a bloodline thing. Nothing to do with the spirit of the first Zelda.
