I did see feelings of a romantic manner passing between Midna and Link..at least at the end. The way he reacted to her beauty, the way he was looking at her in the Mirror Chamber ( the same way he looked at Ilia at the beginning of the game at the spring ) and the look on his face when she shattered the mirror. Two people hating each other at the beginning, and it turned to affection and then love..it's a classic romantic plot device. As much as I am a Zelinker, I didn't mind Midna at all...only for the reason she is the dark side to Zelda's light...If Link fell in love with the true Midna...the same things he loved about her Zelda possesses as well.
Going back to OoT: I consider Sheik and Zelda to be one and the same, in that Sheik is nothing more than Zelda in disguise. IMO, all those times that Link tried to approach her, and the emotional tension between them...it was because he was being attracted to Zelda within Sheik, but he couldn't figure out why. But I don't think it burst into full blown love until Zelda regained her form and he realized she had been with him all along. I think a similar thing may have happened with Midna...when she became the Princess she had been all along, he fell for her then.
But with Midna gone and Ilia left in Ordon, I can totally see Link falling for Zelda. She's just like Midna, but without the character flaws.

I agree with you, but I want to say something too.
In TW when Midna and Link first met they don't like each other. But when the game continues there is a beginning of friendship between them. Then when Zant turned Midna into a light creature and he must go to Zelda (who gives her Triforce to Midna) We see that Midna change.
She's friendly and tells hem her past, and why the Mirror is important, and a part of who she is. On that moment, she and Zelda where one.
I was really amazed when Midna became friendly and she cared about Zelda. (and the world of light) First I thought that she just was amazed that Zelda did that to her and she felt guilty, and that ‘opened her eyes’ and she was nice to Link, because she needs him (for the Mirror).
Link feels this change too and started to like Midna more and more, when he truly started to like Zelda!
Then in the castle when Link saw Zelda again, he really is shocked, and want to rescue her. Midna is angry with Gannondorf and she wants to rescue Zelda too. When Zelda comes ‘back to life’ in her own body and is safe he looked relieved. Then when she comes to him and talks to him, he looks like he don’t know what to do now.
When Midna got her true form back, Link look rather astonished. Midna asks him : ‘Am I so beautiful that you’re out of words?’ And Link (I though this) thinks over this and then laughs. That will say that he is just amazed by her new form.
Then when Midna went home and broke the Mirror, Link looked sad because he lost a good friend. With who he had saved both worlds.
I believe in a Zelda Link relationship. In this game, there are hints but you just must look closely and beware of everything.

This is unrelated to the previous post, but it does involve Midna. Omg, I love the music when you have to take Midna to see Zelda. Its so sad, yet so beautiful and pretty at the same time. Its just wonderful  And yes, I agree that Link and Midna are just good friends - they'd have to be after all the time they spent together. I see them almost as a brother-sister relationship, mostly because of her teasing him about the other girls and then when he's stunned by seeing her true form. I don't see any romance between them, just a close friendship. Then again, I may be slightly biased due to my love of Zelink

Well, for me, everything has already been said. Midna develops romantic feelings toward Link, and at some point, Link probably does, too.
But isn't Midna/Link a lot like Tetra/Link? At the beginning, both girls were bossy and slightly obnoxious towards Link. They'd tease him, and upset him a few times. But at the end, they grow a soft spot for him and become a lot more kinder. They eventually make an effort to help him out (however, Midna kind of had to...) and express concern for him. In Tetra's case, a lot of people I've seen when talking about TWW took this for love. Maybe it's the same story with Midna/Link. I personally don't think so, it's probably just the fact that since they've spent some time together, they've grown closer. It might not relate much, but just drawing parallels. You could kind of see this with Link/Ilia and Link/Saria, too. Now that I think about it, Link is always pushed around and being told what to do by girls. Poor guy!!:P
