Hyrule Warriors

First of all, no one said anything about the fact that the only reason Link cooperated with Zelda at all was to bone her. No one even implied that. The only thing anyone stated were that they were friends or possibly a little bit more.

Secondly, the fact that the curtains close in The Adventure of Link implies it means a bit more than a simple "thank you." It implies the traditional tale of a hero saving a princess and the princess offering herself to the hero. That was the original intention by the creators of the game.

With the Link's Awakening bit, Marin didn't look like Zelda. Not at all. What is implied in that instance is the fact that Link is thinking of her from his previous journeys (A Link to the Past and the Oracle of Seasons/Ages games).

If you had played The Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks, the name pairing should be enough. There was so much between Link and Tetra and Link and Phantom Zelda that a strong bond is obvious.

Again, no one stated that they had to bone each other the instant the game went to the credits screen or that it was Link's only goal. It just means that the possibilities are there that they were maybe a little more than friends due to the result of their journeys or childhood connections.

Actually, the continuous references to "tension" kinda give the affect that you are speaking about sexual attraction. Unless you mean a different sort of tension which would not follow the context whatsoever.

Having sex as a form of appreciation still comes across as a "thank you," albeit rather extreme.

You can keep lying about Link's Awakening; it just proves that you know much less about that series than you pretend. Page 28, please. Are we done with that?

I get it, there's a strong bond between Link and various Zeldas. What I find fault with is this presentation that strong bond = "tension".
For those of you not keeping track, this stemmed from an initial claim that switching Link's gender would intrinsically imply a lesbian relationship which is hardly the case given the very few instances of any heterosexual attraction demonstrated to be between the duo.

I don't really think this is a legitimate or valid reason.. have you ever watched a disney movie? It's fictional, it's not supposed to be realistic or make sense. Though yes, I do agree that it'd be a bit weird in some of the installments. Twilight Princess at least had Link and Midna somewhat leaning toward each other, though not until the literal ending cutscenes.

I agree. We are shown almost nothing of Hylian culture and certainly not enough to indicate any strict class system.
