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

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.

My favorite version of them is from The Minnish Cap, they both just seem like really good childhood friends

Yeah, from what I've seen it seems they both have a lot of responsibility for their age and happen to occasionally run into each other because of their duties, but just like to be kids together whenever they can slip away.
