I've been actively avoiding the fan communities to stay spoiler-free up to now, so forgive me if this has been brought up before, but quick question. Does anyone recall how Rhondson and Hudson got engaged almost immediately after you brought her in as the town tailor? Because between that and Mipha's intent to give Link the Zora armor as an engagement gift, I get the impression that Hyrule women make marriage proposals by offering articles of clothing to their intended husbands.
With that in mind, it suddenly makes a lot more sense why Zelda was so excited in her diary entry about the tunic she made for Link, why she went to so much effort to keep it secret, and why she arranged for him to find it in the throne room. The same throne room, mind you, where the seat of power is conspicuously repositioned to be off center, as if to make room for TWO thrones (which you can see in the puppet Zelda's illusion). The implications sort of speak for themselves.
Anyway, I just wanted to ruin y'all's day with that added layer of angst over the situation.
