Link and Zelda. TWIN SIBLINGS??, The Twin Sibling Theory

If you take the "Triforce chosen ones" fact, then wouldn't Ganondorf be their defective uncle or somehow related to them? lol

Back to topic, I'm gonna be evil towards Nintendo and say that they're an evil company trying to drive us crazy!!! But, in reality, it's probably because of lack of space and evil plans, so it's both, I guess...

Hey, I have a question. What game console was the American version of ALttP originally on? Game Boy? Game Boy Color? Because I heard that when Nintendo released ALttP on Game Boy Advanced, they changed Link's dying uncle's dialogue from, "Zelda is your..." to, "I will always remember...our time together..." Which sounds really out of place; wasn't Link's uncle telling him to save Zelda right before that?

EDIT: Okay, I'm watching a video walkthrough of ALttP now (the GBA version), and this is (part of) what Link's uncle says:

So...yeah, Nintendo changed the dialogue for some reason.

Maybe it was a way to deflect the whole sibling theory in ALTTP, or maybe it suggests Link had an inappropriate relationship with his uncle

Yeah. Sure... I hope it was to deflect, though... It'd be weird if Zelda and Link had some romance together, but were TWINS! Ha!

It happened in Star Wars! Why not Zelda? lol

They didn't love eachother in Star Wars, did they? The girl with dougnut-hair loved that other guy!

ROFL you mean Leia yes? Well, Leia kissed Luke without knowing they were related, and part of me was joking

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. *whispers* I'm a Luke/Leia shipper myself... *speaks in normal voice* But, anyway, yeah, Luke was in love with Leia before he found out they were siblings, and Leia's feelings towards Luke can be debated. But what made me mad was that there didn't seem to be any resolution to that. Luke and Leia just find out that they're siblings and appear to have anmesia regarding their not so sibling-like behavior. I mean, come on; if I found out that the guy I had romantic feelings for was my own brother, I'd be freaking out.

And now I'm seriously rambling. XD

Wouldn't we all?

This is true! But Leia kinda had a rebellion to lead, a certain trader by the name of Han Solo to deal with, as well as God knows what else. And Luke had his whole Jedi training to do, so on and so on Besides I really do not think Lucas is known for his character drama; just look at the first three chapters ~.~ Anakin and Padme? Yeaaah....

Anakin and Padme were fine with me, but I did wonder why Anakin seems so wooden at times during RotS.

I'd be willing to bet it was done specifically to deal with this very theory. In all honesty, I've always thought the implied romance throughout the series is the one thing that most strongly speaks against it.
Before OoT we had AoL with Link and Zelda kissing in the end. The notorious cartoon and ALTTP's comic adaptations also confirmed this, or at least put it in the public eye. After OoT/MM we have games like WW and the Oracles that continue this. To me it seems a bit off the wall for them to suddenly replace romance by blood relation, especially considering what the manga and book said and what public perception was likely to be. So in other words, no, I don't think they are related.

I think the sibling theory is more associated with just ALTTP and OOT. In the other Zeldas that I have played (LOZ, AOL, WW, and TP) I never got the impression Link and Zelda were related at all. The ALTTP sibling dillema has been resolved, and as for OOT, the subtle hints and coincidences are there but its not enough to confirm anything in stone. So up to this point, the popular consensus seems to be that Link and Zelda in OOT/MM are not related, but if it was somehow revealed that they were I would not be in total shock at all.

First of all, I do not believe that Nintendo would want to imply to certain audiences that there is any form of incest in the games, especially with the knowledge that the games apply to all ages, children and adults alike. Being that Zelda is seen as another "love interest", Nintendo could not have possibly intended to label them as siblings. Therefore, the notion that Link and Zelda are somehow related acts only as yet another excuse to embellish the pairing between MaLink (or other pairings, if any). There is no actual evidence to support this theory, as careful systematic observation of phenotypes, that is, the observation of physical traits, cannot determine whether or not they share the same genes; two people can have similar characteristics and not be related to one another. People can also share similar backgrounds in the sense that they are missing the same parent; it is by mere chance. Again, this cannot be proven due to limited observations present. Finally, the fact that Link and Zelda are both Hylians is not enough to even point towards the so-call theory of them being "siblings". Technically Malon is a Hylian; does that make them related? Same things applies to Link and Zelda.

Not necessarily. The twin sibling theory is just that. A THEORY. The sibling theorists go with in game coincidences in Link and Zelda's similar physical appearance, similar matching triforces, similar prophetic dreams, similar vagueness on the parent of the same gender, hints in actual in game dialogue and so on. In regard to the Hylian thing, Malon and Zelda look nothing alike. Link and Zelda on the other hand do look alike. Not identical, but enough to infer that Link and Zelda could possibly be fraternal twins at least.

Based on my research, its a theory thats been around since the game was released in the 90's so its not new by any means. So unless Nintendo has an official statement on the closure of OOT Link and Zelda's actual parents, I don't see the sibling theory going away anytime soon. As for referencing incest, there is no canonnical proof whatsoever that OOT Link and Zelda ever had a romantic relationship for theoretical incest to be committed in the first place.
