(super long post oops) so here’s a NON-SPOILER post about my (post-game) botw zelink headcanons. tldr; i just want them to move into link’s house in hateno village and live a cute and peaceful domestic life together :3c

so like. after ganon is defeated, link and zelda move into links house in hateno village together and its super cute. link cooks their meals every day and zelda takes care of a garden and they have a puppy.

to get ready for zelda to move in, link cleans up the place and makes it look nice and bakes her a fruit cake -her favorite- so she feels welcome. link tries to carve “+ zelda” (with a heart) on the sign in front of their house but FAILS HORRIBLY (he’s not a wood carver like ss link is), so he asks one of hudson’s employees and they make him a new sign for free. 

zelda’s really happy to be able to continue her research on plants and stuff and she has a garden growing outside of their house of all sorts of flowers from around hyrule. they travel together a lot so zelda can pick more flowers to grow at home. (zelda’s also sure to grow lots of plants that link can use in his cooking)

link cooks all of their meals and zelda’s SO SURPRISED to see that he can suddenly cook after waking up. she think’s its the cutest thing that he hums while he cooks (his personality has really come out after waking up) and she’s also happy to see that he’s still the glutton that he was 100 years ago. being the stupidly lovey-dovey couple that they are, they spoon-feed each other dessert and GOD ITS SO C U T E

also. link’s bed is tiny and zelda discovers that link is an AWFUL person to sleep next to. he’s always stretching and rolling over and it takes him forever to get comfortable (and he snores like a hinox). zelda tells him that shes so sick!! of his tossing and turning but she has a solution. the next time they go to bed she just. Holds Him and he’s so comfy to be Is Hold that he falls asleep real quickly and quietly. 

they love to tie up and braid each other’s hair– its one of the times that they feel closest. link sometimes likes to wear zelda’s hair clips and she thinks its adorable. they carry like 10 hair ties between the two of them whenever they go out because theyve got to be Prepared™. there are hair ties ALL OVER their house because theyre constantly using and losing them. their morning routine often starts with “I NEED A HAIR TIE” / “LOOK AROUND YOU’LL FIND ONE EVENTUALLY”.

speaking of things everywhere,, their house is kind of a Huge Mess. zelda has research papers posted all on the walls (link likes to leave notes on them- “i love you! do your best! good luck! you’re so smart!”) hair ties everywhere. all sorts of little souvenirs from their trips around hyrule are scattered around, too. they both swear they’ll get organized but probably never will..

they love to take all sorts of embarrassing selfies with the sheikah slate. zelda likes to sneak up on link, kiss him, and snap a pic when hes all flustered and cute.. there are lots of pictures of link cooking and link has taken a few completely unflattering but Adorable pics of zelda eating. and theyve got pictures of them in different places around hyrule. zelda is DEFINITELY the better photographer of the two of them. link likes taking pictures but most of his are [CRYPTID ZELDA]..

also link loves his amazingly intelligent Science Girlfriend and he tries to impress her one time by showing her a “VERY IMPORTANT RESEARCH PAPER THAT YOU’VE ABSOLUTELY GOT TO SEE, ZELDA!!”

[attached is a cute picture of zelda]

hypothesis: i love zelda so much

data: she’s so beautiful when she smiles at me and also she says that the food i cook tastes really good

analysis: she must love me a whole lot!!

conclusion: I LOVE ZELDA SO MUCH!!

she tells him that this is “absolutely the least scientific paper [she’s] ever seen” but also that shes so proud of link for trying to be a Science Boy

anyway this post is long as Fuc i better stop now omg
