Malon~What makes her tick, Malon shippers come on over!

I was OK with Malon being a minor secondary character because with the minor subtle hints with the Gossip stone, Talon's dialogue in marrying her off, the connection with Epona, and the fact that she is the only love interest that you can interract with as a child and as an adult throughout a majority of the OOT adventure makes me want to believe that Link and Malon may be romantic lovers. IMO LinkxMalon leaves more to the imagination since Malon doesn't get all the big cutscenes as Zelda does.

Nonetheless I can never prove that Link and Malon will be together except I like the notion that their similar humble backgrounds and their similar sweet innocence might make them compatible lovers. With Link and Zelda there is too much of a motherly thing going on for me to believe that they are romantically compatible but thats just me. To me Zelda is more compatible with a bold and assertive macho type like Beowulf not a too sweet and gentle pushover like Link IMO.

Seriously if they gave Link a Kratos personality, LoZ would be uselessly long. Since they want Link to be ''us'', and since it seems what's more important in there is playing the game, not been told the importance of our actions since we know everything the characters say are to be followed anyway, they didn't loose their time making Link stop drop and think about his trust or mistrust towards the people he meets. Gameplay won over storyline there. (I don't mean the storyline sucks, I just mean Link wasn't meant to overshadow the player him/herself)
Besides they remind me of my nightmares, where I'll go wherever freaky people tell me just because I WANT to know what'll happen if I do.
Can't remember an OoT one... But since I'm playing ALttP, I couldn't help but to notice... ''Curse the one who throws something in my circle of rocks''.
You have to be bold to do it knowing something will happen. And you, aka Link, is supposed to do it anyway. I see all Links as guys who'll poke at -anything-.
I don't see him as a pushover at all. And if I did, I wouldn't be wasting my time giving him a personality

..Re-reading that I'm... confused. It's 1am, I need sleep. I'm leaving it in case it makes sense. ..


Oh crap, Malon.

I don't pair her with Link because I'm usually not the romantic type. I don't use my imagination for pairings that aren't as clear as moutain water. The ''knight in shining armor'' was just funny to me, Talon I've just seen as I would see any fatherly figure saying the same *sighs at thoughts of own dad >_> * and Epona as... well, Epona pwnz all. I did wonder if he'll ever go back to live at LonLon Ranch, but pairings aren't my strenght. ^^;
Link and Saria hints seemed stronger to me, but I'm highly disturbed at the thought of the two being paired.
Link and Malon do look good together, and I won't mind a good MaLink fic.

All keeping in mind this isn't exactly a game rated T.

I think pushover might be exagerrating a little. More like a polite nice guy, but too polite & nice for me to believe Link can be an effective King of Hyrule IMO. But if Link was me...yeah he would make a great King ruling by Zelda's side. As for Kratos?? Him with Zelda would be a great pairing if you ask me.

Seriously though, I agree with you on the freedom thing. I ship for Malon but I'm not against Link being an uncomfirmed bachelor in keeping his options open at all.
