>>715004320This. I am so fucking tired of Nintendo's autistic obsession with avoiding romance. Mario and Peach? Sure, whatever, whatever is between them is just backdrop, who cares. But BotW and TotK both go out of their fucking way to establish that yes, THIS Zelda and THIS Link have a loving relationship. Culminating this obvious love between them with a dramatic sky dive and Link finally seeing Zelda, only for Link to not emote his joy at and continuing to leave their relationship "ambiguous" is fucking trite. Why are they so allergic to the idea of their characters expressing actual romantic interest in each other? It's compelling, it's heartwarming, and it gives the player personal stake to actually give a shit about these otherwise cardboard cutout characters.
