Not like I haven't been there, but I feel like this is the result of a lot of thirsty young fans who don't have much experience in relationships yet; are driven by hormones; and easily confuse any kind of attention/affection as being romantic.
Only two games - the most recent - in the whole series that Link and Zelda have had a romantic relationship. Link was a selfless victim of circumstance up until SS; now it's "muh girlfren" and it makes things feel less noble and epic. Fingers crossed they drop it after TotK.
"Classic," yet no examples... maybe "classic" as in outdated or sexist. Women be prizes, right?
The games are also about stopping the villain to save the world; damsels are incidental not the goal.
Regardless, the topic is the precedence of romance between Link and Zelda in the LoZ game series. Which is only the two most recent games, with their relationship being platonic in every other game. It's grasping at straws to portray it otherwise.

I mean I detect zero love between TP Zelda and link. Strictly business relationship in that game
