CW for article: homophobic, transphobic, but you already knew that. https://archive.ph/YORQM
Again, have to point this out, like a goddamn psychotic compulsion:
Link being a twink who easily passes for a cute girl when he crossdresses is a plot point in BOTW, and in TOTK you can resolve a political dispute to get a cute mushroom hat that comes with not only a pink wig but also earrings and makeup
Also men and women from throughout the world are constantly hitting on him in both. Either its a world where bi/homosexuality is considered normal and uncontroversial or Link is just canonically the hottest man in Hyrule and the average guy is just willing to risk facing homophobia for a shot at banging him.
None of this even takes interpreting, this is all surface level lol

I think “Link is a gay icon” maybe leans hard into the theory that IRL gay people have adopted Link as an icon. I haven’t seen much of that. LoZ imagery tends to spam the dorky gamer artistic space, rather than being particular to a given disposition.
At this point, Link is more a Rorschach test for the audience’s sexuality. Given the fact that this young man has literally never fucked, despite being hit on by every Goron, Zora, and Sheikah in eye-shot, I’m prone to declaring him a pure Ace with tease tendencies.

Given the fact that Link’s house in Hateno is now referred to as Zelda’s house in TotK and there’s still only one bed, they were definitely fucking.
