Ask Link, The ultimate advice column!

[Princess Zelda]

Oh, Goddesses. Do NOT make me answer THAT! Do you know how confusing it was for me, trying to sort out who was who, while in ONE body? It's bad enough when there's a man AND a woman in one body, but TWO women? The arrangement didn't really work. That's why Tetra kicked me out...

Link, say anything about what we did in the aftermath and you're dead meat.

(Link has been very busy admiring himself ever since Twilight Princess came out, what with his new look and all...I do hope you all enjoyed the game, though currently I'm having a long talk with Nintendo because they cut down my screen time... )

[Link]

I'm back. Zelda threatened me with death if I didn't return soon. Can you blame me though? I told you TP would kick major butt.

Also, TP is now the official proof that, in spite of all stupid jokes, I am capable of emotion. And since it was such a great way to admire myself (give me a break, you'd do the same if it were you), I played TP over and over again. Five times.

So if you have any questions about TP, feel free to ask them as well.

Tetra. Ah, Tetra.

Well, she was rough at first. That typically annoys me.

Still, it's obvious she's clear-headed and intelligent and sensible, so of course we became friends.

Though when I found out she was Zelda, I was kind of relieved. It's hard to be in love (damn, I said it) with one person and to be seriously interested in another. so if the two people turn out to be the same person, problem solved!

Sure, they're not the same person, personality-wise, but they share one consciousness. Once Zelda was awoken, she had Tetra's memories and Tetra had her memories. I think they kind of merged, even if it was tough at first.

As an aside, can you blame me for thinking that Tetra was pretty cool? She's the back-up anyone would need. Kind of like Sheik.

In a way, I guess Zelda, no matter her form, is one of the most helpful people I know.

I have another question about you and Tetra(or Zelda...): How long have you known each other?

[AmayaSaria]

Oooer! Long time no see, Link and Zelda! (Gosh, I just love saying your names together. =D)

How've you guys been?

And welcome to the forums LinkxxZelda! Have fun here, and if you want, you can introduce yourself! =D make sure to post lots, 'cause it seems like a lot of people don't post here anymore XD

[Link]

I've known Tetra for... well, four years now. But I've known Zelda for twenty (twenty-one by some accounts). It's been a bumpy but unforgettable ride.

Hello, Amaya! Yeah, I'm back, sworn to answer questions again. I'm sorry for the long time no see. I've been fine. Getting acquainted with TP facts. Now I dare hope I'm the ultimate reference. Some might argue they know more about technicalities, like Shigeru and Eiji.

But hey, I'm a hero, not a producer. I'm good at heroics, not programming.

Keep asking.

[AmayaSaria]

So. Just curious.

...How did you feel when you first met Zelda in TP? You were in wolf form at the time. Any feelings jump out at you right away?

...^^ Just curious XD

[Alantie]

Ah, finally the chance to question you about your role in TP!!

Lets see. . . I'm curious to know about your feelings towards your relationships with Ilia and Midna. Of course we know Zelda has always been the lady in your heart, and nothing has changed that- right? *menacing face*

[Link]

Ah, I should have expected questions about my relationships.

Let's see. When I first met Zelda, hm? I remember that Midna on my back and being in a completely unknown place were making me edgy. Not to mention the fact that Zelda was in a cloak and I couldn't see her face at first. I was suspicious, of course.

And then, she gasped when she turned to me, and I noticed that she was, well, a 'she' and that she apparently hadn't expected me, so typically, it meant she didn't have any plans, good or bad, for me (this, I'm sure you'll agree, is a good sign nowadays, where my adventures are concerned).

So, I risked getting closer to her. She didn't feel threatening, even if I couldn't see her face. Kind of frustrating, though, that she'd start talking to Midna and that Midna would answer back and talk about me as though I weren't even there. I guess that kind of annoyed me.

But then she kneeled and asked about my imprisonment. That's when I was sure I was dealing with someone sensible. Sure, she could have been faking it, but at least she was, truly or falsely, sensible. And when Midna broke into this moment we were having, asking for her to explain why I was there, she told me all about the overthrow by Zant. Somewhere during the tale I was finally convinced that this person was a friend and not a foe.

And then, she lifted her cloak's hood. Of course I paid attention. I mean, it was kind of surprising to find out she was the princess Rusl had joked about meeting. I couldn't believe she was the real thing.

Not to mention, when I DID see her face, she was really, well, a sight to behold. In spite of the melancholy face, that is. Midna tried to comfort her, and to justify the existence of twilight. I suppose, in a way, she was trying to apologise, though at the time I didn't know enough to be sure.

But they went back to talking as though I weren't there. And the next thing I know, she tells us we have to leave, lest we get caught by the guards.

So, without even looking back, we left.

I guess that wasn't the best first encounter in the history of my encounters with Zelda, but there was no time to joke around, so I forgave her. She was a prisoner in her own castle, after all.

As for my feelings for Ilia and Midna... well (Eiji and Shigeru wanted this to be ambiguous, but I guess I can try to clear this up), I did spend more time with them than with Zelda. But, in all honesty, they are both my close friends. Ilia is a childhood friend, and she has always cared a lot for Epona and I, ever since we were children, but she's more like the big sister I never had than a romantic interest.

And Midna... well, Midna probably developed feelings for me, but when my only focus was to help Zelda and the land of Hyrule, I guess I didn't realise it until she said goodbye. I won't hide it: that made me sad. Over time, Midna had pulled a Tetra on me, rough at first then softening up. I guess I'm a sucker for that. She'd become a good friend and a powerful ally. Was I romantically inclined towards her? I don't know. I loved her, but I wasn't in love with her, if that makes any sense.

Hope that clears up your interrogations.

[Princess Zelda]

Hey, Link! Long time no see! Like, last night is a really long time! Oh Goddesses, I remember you really were-

Oh. Good point...anyway...

Here's me question.

What was it like to fight me while I was possessed by Ganon? And how did it feel to get your butt whooped by a girl like me?

[Link]

Zelda, you really need to learn to hold insinuations in. I'd get attacked by an angry mob if the people of Hyrule knew you and I were... Especially outside the bounds of...

Anyway.

You know, fighting you while you were possessed was the most conflicting time in my whole adventure. How do you knock out someone who's on the good side and not feel guilty about it afterwards??

At least, I didn't have to slash at you directly.

That said, I'm sorry that you don't remember that my butt was not whooped in the least. If anything, you're the one who got painfully zapped the most, for which I apologise, even though it's Ganon's fault.

Also, if you ever do turn into a villain again, will you at least consider wearing a shorter dress? Please? Evil people always pull off the sexy act better.

... Ahem.

[Princess Zelda]

My dear, you've seen me with almost no dress, and you dare-

Well, Link we're in a forum that totally supports our-

Oh fine...hmph...

Alright, I relent. But I still have a question.

Did you and Midna...umm...do anything...while you were in...Wolf Form?

[Link]

... DEAR GODS, NO.

Suffice to say, I prefer my human form. I use it better. Being a wolf kind of makes natural movements difficult. Sure, I got practice, but I'm human at heart.

I will comment no further.

[Paladin's Heart]

It's good to see you back again, Link and Zelda. Great to see that your advice/questionnaire threads are also back again .

Here's a question for you, Link. And it's not going to be about your relationships with other characters

What did you think of yourself being ambidextrous, due to the fact that the Wii version of Twilight Princess is a mirror world of the GCN version of Twilight Princess? Many fans seemed to be a little bit irritated that you were - in fact - one of the 'coolest' left-handed heroes, and I'd just like to know about your thoughts about that.

[Link]

It's true I was lefthanded originally, and now I'm ambidextrous. I suppose in a way, it only made me cooler.

Think about it: I was once limited to my left hand. Now I can swordfight with both.

I do suppose it upset a lot of lefties, since they felt I was on 'their side' until then, but now, without even forsaking them, righties can identify with me as well. So, in that sense, it was a smart move.

For the lefties that are still offended, let's not forget that DK and Mario are both lefties, and that Shigeru Miyamoto, our creator, is also an ambidextrous, left-hand-favouring producer. In that way, the upper crust of Nintendo characters, a majority of world-famous video game characters, are lefthanded. If that doesn't satisfy the frustrated, I don't know what will.

Canonically, I suppose I'm still a leftie, but making me ambidextrous is an equally cool way to describe me.

Ultimately, the fans get to choose.

Did anyone ever ask what your favourite song was? Both in Hyrule and out of it?
