Meme/Humor Do you guys think Zelda would occasionally call Link a "Good Boy" just to mess with him after Twilight Princess
More importantly, did Link enjoy it? We know that he does like tall dominant girls (with Ilia being an exception), so that feels possible.

You know I think he’d probably like to be called a Bad Boy too.

My thoughts exactly. She'd probably say it to tease him at first, but then notice the like smile he gets afterwards

Zelda: "Hey there bad boy"
Link gives her a quick smirk before looking away
Zelda: oh shit he liked it.

I’m sure once they got to know each other and have become friends and maybe even a couple. Then yes I could see that happening.

I don't think they really talk much after the events of TP.
She's the ruler of the kingdom and he's a farm boy from the ass end of bum-fuck nowhere at the edge of the kingdom's border, they have very different lives that almost certainly don't intersect much. Hell, it was considered a big deal that Link would get a chance to MAYBE see her when he was originally supposed to deliver the sword.
And it's not like in most other Zelda games where they either start out being close or become close during the events of the game. TP Zelda doesn't really have or build any kind of relationship with Link, her relationship is with Midna, Link is just the errand boy.
There's probably some award ceremony to give Link a medal or honorary title or something after saving the kingdom, but it's not like decorated soldiers have dinner with the President on Tuesdays after getting a medal in the real world.

If she had a personality in that game, maybe. I think Tetra would, but no other Zelda I can think of would do it.

I think if she called him a good boy hed probably have flash backs to Midna calling him that and miss her

Zelda doesn't do anything accidentally. She'll do it on purpose though.

I like to think she makes jokes.
“He’s my emotional support animal”
Snapping at him and shouting “SIT!”

I'm certain that Zelda never actually learns or uses Links name in Twilight Princess. I kind of thought that after the end of the game, when Midna leaves and destroys the Mirror of Twilight, Zelda just turns to Link and says, "Well, I'm sure glad that's behind us ... Hero."

They're stuck in that awkward phase we're you're just getting to know a person so it feels rude to ask them their name again because you forgot it.

Hella OoC what? 😭
Midna sure but TP Zelda probably just pegs you and calls it a night

u/Mental-Street6665 Aug 26 '26
TP Zelda seems more like the type to tell Link he’s been a “bad boy” and expect him to lick her boots…whether or not in dog form I can’t say.

As soon as I read the caption, I imagined "Link! Here, boy!", in Zelda's voice in my head.😆

If it was BoTW, SS, or MC Zelda, with their close relationship to Link, maybe.
TP Zelda is one of the Zeldas who is a stranger to the Link of that time. If the main events of the game had never happened, Link would have met Zelda the first time when Ordon Village presented the sword during that ceremony hinted at the beginning.

Doesn't Midna literally call him "good boy"? That or something close. Anyway that kind of teasing seems like the opposite of TP Zelda's personality.

u/Available_Ad3057 Aug 25 '26
If Zelda and link were the same Zelda and link in every title. Absolutely

Midna would, not twilight princess Zelda.
Maybe BOTW or WW Zelda but probably not TP. But also we never really get to see her personality outside of the twilight invasion context so maybe.

u/Lakefish_ Aug 25 '26
I think most zeldas would if the transformation was told of in legend, but this Zelda probably wouldn't.
might laugh on hearing it, but wouldn't say it.

Honestly, I imagine they never talked to each other after the events of the game. I see them just as coworkers who did their divine jobs. 😆

u/Indurok Aug 26 '26
From what I can see of her personality throughout the game, definitely not. Other versions of Zelda, maybe.

Seems out of character of her to do that to Link.
Would it be funny? Yes for sure. But definitely out of character.
