Ocarina of Time book., More facts.

See ZeldaPower. Download the book, extract it, and read the last few pages.

The narrative is rather boring and straight to the point, at least until the last pages.

Notably, in this book, Sheik is referred to as a 'he'.

Anyway, here goes for those who are too lazy to download anything.

Quote:

PAGE 106:Tears rolled down Zelda's cheeks as she realised she might never see Link again.
"When peace returns to Hyrule, it will be time for us to say good-bye. You must return to your home, transform back into a child, and regain your lost time," Zelda said.
Bringing the Ocarina of Time to her lips, she began to play. Link, engulfed in a blue light, was transported back in time as he bade Zelda farewell.
"I must remain here, with the other Sages," Zelda said.
With a flash, Link materialized in the Temple of Time. Although a child once more, he still had his memories of when he'd been a teenager, and of his new-found love for Princess Zelda.
But as the Hylians, Kokiris, Gerudos, Gorons, and Zoras gathered to rejoice, the Sages worked on their magic plans to restore happiness to Zelda and Link. These two heroes were destined to be together, and the Sages would see to it they would reunite one day!

End Quote.

Read the last paragraph again.

I rest my case.

AWESOME!! And it's official then? Alas new proof to shove in peoples faces! MUAHAH!

Ehem.

Also, they may refer to Sheik as a "he" simply because Zelda was disguised as a he, and therefore she would be referred to as such when spoken to. Either way, it's still Zelda's mind. Her body just changed with magic, that's all.

Great find, CgM!

And to Ingie's comment, I also agree to the reason of why Shiek is referred to a he because of Zelda being diguised as a 'he' and not of a seperate entity. Anyway, I thank you for finding this information and sharing it with us, CM.

Also, an interesting fact, I took a look at the book cover and on the bottom-right corner, is that the Official Nintendo seal that I see? Did big-N actually approve this novel and it's ending statements?

YAYA! READING! AND ZXL READING! WHOO! THE IRREVOCALE PROOF!

That is like. . . the best proof EVER!!! Great material for arguing with people! Thank you so much for finding this CM!!

I also agree with you, Ignie. Whether or not they refer to Sheik as a he or not, its still Zelda inside Sheik. So yeah. Nintendo can't seem to make their minds up about Sheik either though. Cause in SSBM it calls Sheik a girl. . Ah well, that's why we have the Sheik thread!

I wasn't trying to solve the Sheik debate. I just noted it.

In my head, Sheik is a seperate entity. But that's because I need him for AU purposes. ^^ Otherwise, in the actual game context, I'd agree that he didn't have another role than to be Zelda's disguise. It's not like she stole his soul to make a mask, à la Majora, or anything.

But, yeah, it's an official book. Not written by Nintendo, but rather by a side-company, but Nintendo approved its publication.

That's how it goes with copyrights.

Oh my...they made a book about us? That's...well. I guess you can't say that our life is so incredibly dull that a book is impossible...

Oh my gosh! Do I sound stupid? Like, I thought what I said sounded regal, but now I'm listening to it again...

How did I say anything with that damn Ocarina in my mouth? Oh, my! I shouldn't be saying things like that...and I never said that! I'm sure of it!

Who is Dirty Harry? Does he take medicine of some kind?

What Link? Oh...they're called drugs?

Okay. Does Dirty Harry take drugs?

OMG. I just got pwned by the Princess. God.

My god, you've done it CrazygurlMadness!! WHOOT! PROOF!...Evidence, of ZeLink. Or at least implications to it. *dances* Yay!

Implications of Zelink? Are you insane? They might as well have a neon sign flashing saying, "ZELINK IS CANON!"

This makes me so happy, I wanna cry with tears of joy. And then I'll put it on a huge bulliten to the world.

....My mistake. I agree with you Angel Zelda. NEON SIGN BLINKING ZELINK IS CANON!!!

This is pretty awesome. Add this to the manga and the interviews, and it pretty much makes it clear that ZeLink is canon for OoT. ( and MM as it's the same Link )

And add that to zelink hints in all other games and the repeat appearance of Zelda (rather than all the other females Link could be linked with), and it makes Zelink canon everywhere!

I'm pretty sure that if ZeLink weren't canon, they wouldn't keep appearing in the games together
