I really like that Yona isn’t a jealous type. At this point it is canon that Link has been living rent-free in Sidons head for ages (Yona says so ingame) and I simply don’t think Sidon would have been able to live a happy life when the two most important (living) people in his life wouldn’t get along.

Shipping fictional characters in itself is completely fine with me. It can be nice to spin your own stories out of availiable canon material, and even nicer if future canon material also supports the ideas that have been spun, like in this case here. There is no harm in that. Fanfictions, artworks, tin foil hat theories, headcanon of any kind - 100% fine with me.

However, I fully agree about “ship wars” not being worth it in any way. It takes zero effort and no energy whatsoever to just chill and let people enjoy stuff they like even if it’s not your cup of tea, instead of going apesh*t aggressive when someone has a different view on things. Never understood the motivation behind this senseless hostility to make others miserable for no reason.

For example, I personally like the idea that there is no romantic interest whatsoever between Zelda and Link, and that they’re just very close friends that fully trust each other. The idea that those two have a crush on each other 
 nope. Don’t like it, won’t incorporate the idea into my own headcanon, ever. But that does not mean that I have the desire and/or right to tell others that they are somehow “wrong” for shipping those two. I’m completely okay with others thinking differently about this topic - To each their own ;)

That’s how it always should be IMHO. Just respect and acknowledge that not everyone likes the same stuff and don’t be a prick about it. (Which is the point that people engaging in “ship wars” grossly fail to understand for some reason)

I agree, not EVERY SINGLE FREAKING RELATION between EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER is a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP FOR GOD’S SAKE!!! (Apparently many people do in fact view every relationship as romantic, which is the main target of my complaint) I guess I just see them so much (and being somebody generally uninterested in that kind of stuff, I naturally became annoyed.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Create post

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a videogame developed by Nintendo for the Switch, released in 2023. It is a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild and its story takes place a couple of years after the events of BotW.


♩ Rules ♩


1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won’t be tolerated.


2. Mark Spoilers

It is okay to post about “related games” (such as Age of Calamity and Breath of the Wild) but please use the spoiler “censor” and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn’t work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.


3. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.


4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those “design your own merch” sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn’t Etsy.


5. Provide Sources

If you’re going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)


6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)
