Zelink vs Link/instert name *SPOLIERS*

Yes, Peach is all over everyone... ...Even Ganondorf likes her, somewhat.
I don't want to know about Peach X Zelda though.

Yes, bring back the... ''Healing'' Ladies from AoL!

*Enters thread in a very epic way*
Hrmm.. SSB pairings are fun. You can do almost anything with them. Crossover pairings are really fun. Like LinkxSailor Moon. Now, THAT would be epic. I really like LinkxZelda, and LinkxNabooru is pretty cool too. LinkxTetra is really awesome too. I really didn't think TP displayed as much emotion as it could have/should have. I hope the next Zelda game has Link involved with SOMEONE. Well, more then he already has been. It would also be good if you could chose who you want Link to be with in the game. Then everyone would be happy...

Legend of Zelda dating sim. Not a farfetched idea, but I would hate it.
I prefer killing monsters (oh! and insulting them, very much so) over playing with dialogues that'll have an influence on romance.
Link X Sailor Moon, now that's farfetched!
But that's why fanfics and fanarts live. XD

YES!!! I would so want this to happen.

Actually there already is a Legend of Zelda dating-game in Newgrounds. I accidently came across it while looking through LoZ flashes.

That's the beauty of TLoZ. While there are hints at various pairings in the games, ultimately, the decision is the player's. Unfortunately, the Link-Player bond is dissipating over time, but we should still enjoy it while it lasts. My Link might be in love with Zelda, somebody's might be in love with Malon, somebody else's might be in love with Hena. You get the point.

Zeruda: I agree. Blatant romances that are shoved down our throat usually annoy me. Then again it's just me, since I knew I loved ZeLink the day I knew a lot of people were against it. Now, it won't matter if the next game is a big ''Link: Wa! I think I'm in love with Zelda!'' since I'm already a convinced ZeLink, but seeing Link ''troubled'' by various ladies is an amusing sight. Him being too innocent to comprehend what he's getting into is also a fun sight (since most of the time, he's a kid.)


Toxo: Really? Is it a parody? (I bet it is..) Is it good or below average?
If it's a parody with pretty pictures I'm in!

I think it would be sort of neat to have an affection system, sort of similar to the system used in FF7. Having Link perform certain actions during the course of the game will gain him "affection points" with a particular girl and earning a certain number of points would trigger a cutscene. But it would not have any actual effect on the ending of the game. Just a thought and all of the fans would be happy since their particular pairing of choice would have some validation.

Um, yeah. I'm not sure if it's good or not. I'm not really into those kind of games. And I'm a bit disturbed by it. And, well...It has a lot of pretty pictures, but...*cough* Some of them are, well, mature. (*cough* I bet MalonsLover would like it. *cough* No offence!)

Oh! I won't try then, I'm easily offended.
Too easily in fact, I should grow up.
But not today.

That sounds cool. I'd totally play a Zelda game that had a date mechanics, if only for that.

My basic dial up can't handle video/audio for playing games on the internet but I will take your word for it friend.

In general to the discussion, I like the affection meter idea. Plus a game like this would have a lot of replay value pending how many options there are on possible outcomes.

Actually not a bad idea, but I would rather see it spent entirely on handling enemies and allies than love interests.
So, either the guy decides to ok, not bomb your house and maybe sell goods to you and not Ganondorf for a greater offer, or do everything to stab you in the dark and tickle your toes while you sleep.
*Chuckles madly*

Well it wouldn't be that big of a deal. I mean the way it worked in FF7, you didn't even realize you were gaining points with a particular girl up until the date scene at The Gold Saucer. It wouldn't be something out of the way. Maybe performing a certain sidequest before another. Or talking to a specific character (outside of required cutscenes) before another one. That sort of thing.

Idealistically for me I would want this theoretical Zelda game to be similar like Fable in the optional ending/outcome aspect but thats just me. But an FF7 influence would be good too.
