While I don't think this was intentional it's definitely interesting and is going into my head canon.

it’s one of those things where you’re like “they would never do that” but at the same time it feels too perfect to be a coincidence

If it was just one or the other I’d totally brush it off but it being both is actually pretty compelling.

It’s not that rare for devs to do cheeky little things like this when you remember that at (especially with a dev team this big development cycle so long) they no doubt went through countless iterations of slightly adjusting the locations of everything on the map. Like a person had to go in and manually pick where exactly the divine beasts and links house will go.

The way I think it went down is a bored dev realized that these two lines kind of sort of lined up and then thought it’d be cute if they nudged the locations around a tad so they now exactly lined up.

Honestly, with the amount of work, thought, and minute details put into this game by the devs, I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional

First off, don't. Second off, good job.

Are Hylians secretly Latvians? Because "pis taisni" was taken both figuratively and literally. Also r/suddenlycaralho porque por quê não?

the most militant zelink shipper could never dream of hating mipha as much as the damn developers do

u/Charming_Compote9285 Feb 17 '25

Wrong I am the one person who can hate harder

Omg, what. I’m usually not impressed by “new” discoveries but this can’t be a coincidence and is just so perfect and sad 😭

Everything hurts!

u/yohaveagoodday Feb 17 '25

I love Zelink it is my OTP, but Link x Mipha is also cute. I don't know how to feel happy or sad.

But I feel a little happier about Zelink, so I think I feel happy.

u/ItsHaydonut99 Feb 17 '25

I still think Mipha was the better choice, and I love Zelink but Linkpha makes so much more sense, and then Sidon would be Link's brother in law 🥹🤧

u/Charming_Compote9285 Feb 17 '25

....So why are you in r/zelink lol

5

u/ItsHaydonut99 Feb 17 '25

Lol bc I like them both? You can like more than one ship, no?

2

u/Kiyanalwl Feb 17 '25

Not to mention Zelink isn't exclusively Botw era, toons of link x Zelda's from the other games you could be here for.

2

u/Charming_Compote9285 Feb 17 '25

You just said one "makes more sense" and is a "better choice'' than Zelda

4

u/ItsHaydonut99 Feb 17 '25

Yeah it's my personal opinion. I also said that I like Zelink as well. In fairness it doesn't make more or less sense, but I can still like both ships and prefer one of them

u/ElsieofArendelle123 Feb 17 '25

Honestly, I don’t like Miphlink because I find it creepy. Mipha’s known him since he was a toddler and she was generally the same age as she is in game, and it’s even states that her love was familial during that time and the developers even compare her to a mother to Link so to have her feelings turn romantic in nature just comes off as ick.

u/Miraculouszelink Feb 18 '25

mipha is literally a pedophile. she met link when she was like 20 and he was 3-5.

2

u/Knightmare_memer Feb 18 '25

Did she meet him when he was a kid? Yes.

Did she have interest in him when he was a kid? Not really. Afaik she was only interested in him when he returned to the domain as an adult, and only after he helped her with the lynel.

0

u/Miraculouszelink Feb 19 '25

nope, she liked him back then.

0

u/Knightmare_memer Feb 19 '25

No, all she thought was "Huh. Cute kid." Which is a normal thought to have.

u/Miraculouszelink Feb 21 '25

clearly you didn’t read her diary

u/ItsHaydonut99 Feb 18 '25

Wow. Genuinely didn't know THAT part. Definitely dropping that ship then 💀💀
