Dumb idea with TOTK and sidlink/Sidlinkona where Poly relationships are super common with the Zora and Link doesn’t realise that Sidon already proposed to him and they’ve technically been engaged since around BOTW, and Yona is Sidon’s fiancée but Link is Sidon’s intended.

Everyone in the Zora domain think Link already knows this, they don’t realise he doesn’t have all his memoires back still. Zelda knows but she thought Link must know after all how can he get engaged and not know… plus she’d seen him and Sidon interact.

Yona is super excited meeting Link and ok may have fallen a bit for him just from all the letters Sidon sent her and everything he’s said since she arrived, she realty wanted to send letters to him before but wasn’t sure if that was proper protocol or not.

Link has zero fucking idea what’s going on, it’s only at the wedding that he actually realises what’s happening.

Everyone else is crucifying Koroks, meanwhile I’m disposing of romantic rivals.

I don’t dislike Yona at all, or even ship Link with Sidon, this was just for the joke. An even better joke is to point out that Sidon marries someone in green who’s head tailfin looks like a floppy hat.

Anyway, don’t take this as hate or character bashing, I just wanted to make a funny with the NPC exploit. Thinking about taking Isha to Goron village to shop for some jewels next.

The Gang is Poly.

Headcanon: Yona is engaged to Sidon but Sidon is dating Link who's engaged to Zelda who's dating Purah. Yona is the only cis/straight one but is very supportive of the relationship. Yona and Sidon live in Zora's Domain and Purah and Zelda live in Hateno. Link just travels around visiting them all and showing them random cool things he found.

Yona: cis/straight she/her

Sidon: cis/bi he/him

Link: genderfluid/pan any pronouns

Zelda: girlflux/bi she/they

Purah: demigirl/lesbian she/they/xe

In Princess Zelda’s defense: Misogyny in the Legend of Zelda (and every fandom really)

(Spoiler Warning for BOTW and TOTK)

One thing I’ve noticed as Tears Of the Kingdom has come out, is this incredibly shameless irritable misogyny in the Legend of Zelda fandom. With fandom and internet culture really boosting in the last decade, I feel as if people are less fearful of what they say, and I’ve noticed it in the fandoms I love, like Legend of Zelda specifically.

What could I possibly mean? Doesn’t everybody love Zelda? You’d be incredibly surprised what people say about her.

I can’t image why. She’s incredibly kind, smart, interesting and an emotionally complicated character, which I personally find endearing and not at all bland. However, I think I’ve finally come to understand *why* she’s so hated in the fandom as of this last couple weeks. I think I finally get it.

Zelda is a complex character. I know this doesn’t fit with some of the fandoms fantasy of her being “boring”, but I challenge that with a question. Why is it that every female character, regardless of personality, backstory and upbringing, actions and speech patterns are all boring to you? Is it because they’re actually boring? Or is it because female characters, no matter how developed, will always take the back seat to male characters even with less complexities?

I think I would be remiss if I didn’t mention shipping culture playing a huge part. It’s unfortunate, because, as a gay person, I do think that a lot of the fujoshi/bl community is misogynistic and hates admitting that: so they turn towards the only thing they can- picking and choosing small scenes and lines out of context to demonize a perfectly fine character.

Let me remind you all that I don’t care about harmless shipping. Mostly everyone in fandom ships characters. It’s normal and as long as you aren’t being weird about it and everything is morally correct: who cares. However, I do think that shipping culture has made is hard for people in fandom to correctly distinguish media in any other way. And that’s unfortunate. But I’ll come back to my shipping point later.

Zelda, for instance, is not fond of Link in the beginning of the TOTK/BOTW/Age of Calamity timeline. That’s very apparent from the very first memory in order from Breath of the Wild. In context, that all makes sense why and it’s explained very well. She very quickly after takes a liking to Link, and the rest is history.

However, you have people saying that she’s awful, hates Link, treats him badly, etc. She’s being treated like she’s helpless, something that, in game, she despises feeling. If you can’t tell from context, many times it’s said out loud and in your face. Take this memory with Urbosa for example:

She feels like a failure and Link being appointed to her just reminds her of that feeling.

Despite feeling this way, she’s proven to be a character that can grow and develop. She takes a liking to Link, as previously mentioned before, shortly after said scene with Urbosa explaining to link why she is the way she is. After her heart crushing memory where she’s sobbing about how she couldn’t save her father, the champions or Hyrule, Link is in danger. He is close to death and still he refuses to give up. At the very moment he is going to die. Zelda *finally* is able to release her power, after many many years, and in turn, his life. Why? Because she loves him.

Mipha hints at this being the way she can release her power. Though she doesn’t outright say it, it’s incredibly obvious she’s trying to get across that Zelda think about love and who she cares for.

I feel like if a man had that same backstory, people would acknowledge how incredibly complex of a character he was. They never do this with female characters, and instead take their emotions at face value, like how Zelda has multiple scenes where her determinations, wants and hopes are explained with heavy emotion and people throw it all away for some screwed up, incorrect perception of a character who is more multifaceted then they can ever comprehend.

And why do I think people refuse to look at the truth when it comes to Zelda? Yep, I’m going back to shipping. Like I mentioned before, specifically the fujoshi shipping community seems to be incredibly misogynistic as a whole. And if you self identify as a fujoshi, please stop. It’s not a good term or a nice term. Obviously this isn’t about people who enjoy gay ships in general as I don’t see any harm in shipping whatever you want as long as it’s not morally wrong. However, as someone who has been heavily engrained in fandom culture for the majority of my life: women are second rate citizens to the vast majority of these people.

With the appearance of Sidon in BOTW came a brand new ship that, though I think it’s a very very weird ship considering that Sidon looks like this when Link first meets him:

I never had anything much to say about it. I didn’t ship it, but to each their own since Sidon is very much an adult in current day BOTW/TOTK.

However, the birth is Sidon as a character has incredibly turned the tide when it comes to how people view Zelda. Every bit of character growth and backstory has been dismantled because they see her as a “home-wrecker” to this very much headcanoned ship. I genuinely think people who do this have very little ability to understand female characters in any piece of media, but Zelda is a great example of this. Now that TOTK has come out and Sidon (reminder from the beginning of this post, that I said there would be spoilers) canonically has a Fiance, I feel like this misunderstanding of female characters has just completely gone off the rails and people are now just saying things completely untrue.

For one: I don’t think arranged marriages are ever the best way to try to convince an audience that two characters are in love, and I give that to the shipping community completely. Arranged marriages are not good 9/10 times. Though, sometimes they work out, it’s often for political reasons, and almost never are these two people in love. It’s not a good trope. *However*

Sidons case is different. Yona, a brand new character in the series, is his fiancé. She’s, in my opinion, is quite pretty and helpful to the Zora community, as she seems to be their main healer in the domain.

A lot of the fandom is taking the fact that he saw her as a sister when he was a CHILD out of context as he quite literally says in the next paragraph that his feelings for her start to change and become “difficult to quantify” which clearly, in this case, means that those feelings are changing. And then, he seems to get to embarrassed to go further as those are for more private thoughts. Not only that, but Sidon very clearly calls her his love multiple times, even when she isn’t around.

And how does this character, the kind and caring Yona get treated?

Badly. Just from the first month of this game being out I’ve heard that she should die, she’s a dumb bitch, she’s ugly, she’s boring (how creative), etc.

I can’t help but notice that these comments are clearly coming from a place of distain that Sidon isn’t a free man, and believe it or not hating a female character because she gets in the way of your ships is misogynistic whether or not you think it is!

Now that Sidon isn’t free for grabs, I feel like that brings considerably more backlash upon Zelda yet again because she’s just not a character that can be ignored in favor of Sidon anymore. I’ve noticed an incredible increase of this hate that just doesn’t make any sense to me.

Hating female characters just because they get in the way of your ships will never be cool, but will always unfortunately be a part of fandom that I will refuse to get behind. It’s not just The Legend of Zelda fandom. I can name multiple female characters who get hate for the same exact thing.

This may have just been a rant that went on too long, maybe a mini essay, I’m not sure, but I genuinely challenge the Zelda community to interact more with the actual game over who belongs with who and stop picking at straws to find faults in characters that ruin your perfect perception of who you want to be with who. And please, judge the female characters the same way you’d judge the male characters.

Dumb Sidlinkona idea, where Yona and Sidon knew each other when they were young and both had puppy love/hero crushes on Link back then.

Sidon:When i’m older i’m gonna marry him

Yona:No way I’m going to marry him

Muzu:You two are marrying each other not him

*Both Yona and Sidon burst out crying*

Then Link comes back and suddenly Yona is getting letters from Sidon that are basically Sidon writing about how amazing Link is. Yona’s response ‘Oh game on motherfucker’ and visits Sidon’s domain and starts hanging out with Link.

It’s a game of tug of war with both Zora royalty trying to get time with Link... it’s only when people start talking officially about their marriage that they finally declare a truce and decide to both marry him.

"Yona's too much like Mipha."

I think that's kind of the point, my dude.

It's an easy thing to miss, considering all the other crazy plot stuff that's going on in TotK, but Sidon is decidedly not acting like himself when you first show up at Zora's Domain. He's planted himself in Mipha Court, purifying the water day in and day out without taking any breaks to interact with his subjects or search for a better long-term solution for this crisis. And it's not like he's doing this because he's the only one who is capable of cleaning the water--there are other Zoras in the domain who know how to do this, and yet Sidon doesn't trust them with this task. He even argues with Yona when she tries to take his place, despite knowing that going with Link to the Water Temple is the best course of action for saving the Domain. Very weird behavior for a guy who is usually very proactive and has no trouble placing his faith in others. But it makes perfect sense once you take into account Yona's similarities with Mipha. Think about it--the last time Sidon saw Mipha, she was going on a trek to Mount Lanayru with Link and Zelda. He probably assumed she would be back by that evening. Probably hugged her goodbye and promised to practice his waterfall swimming while she was out.

And then he never saw her again.

BotW lightly hints that Sidon still has some lingering trauma over this, and then TotK states it outright, with Yona being the one to figure out that said trauma is what's keeping him from acting now. Of course he's afraid to leave. The last time he let Mipha out of his sight, she never came back. How can he be certain the same thing won't happen again with his fiancé, someone who shares many personality traits with his sister? Especially now that the Domain itself has become a dangerous place?

TL;DR, Yona being Mipha 2.0 was intentional and integral to Sidon's story in TotK, not the result of laziness or lack of creativity. Obviously I'm not saying this means you have to like her or what the writers did with Sidon, but I am saying I don't buy into the accusations of the writers not knowing or caring what they were doing. At the very least, it's clear they thought about this subplot enough to make sure that Sidon's fears and out-of-character-behavior were justified and made sense.

OK now that the fandom drama is pretty much gone can we PLEASE talk about this behavior? Because I noticed alot of these "yona defenders"(that I'm mostly seeing on Twitter but there's still some here) think being sexist to sidlink shippers is some how a good thing. This isn't even the only examples I've seen of people acting like this, it's usually way worse.(just using this as an example)

How come sexism to yona isn't ok but to real people it is? Is it because all sidlink shippers are evil misogynists even though most of us are women/queer? It sidlink isn't canon even though ever sidlink shippers already knew it was never gonna be? Or that its problematic even though both the characters are adults and unrelated? What on earth justify acting like this to a real people to protect the feelings of a antro video game mantaray? The "safety" of yona does not matter compared to real people!

This isn't feminism. It's using progressive language to cover up bullying. And I'm honestly sick of yall thinking you can do that to people because in your minds, you labeled them the "bad queers" so now you can say and do whatever horrendous shit you.

Like is sidlink that bad or does it give up the ick and you can't sit with your discomfort like an adult.
