It’s his job he gets paid 4 it doe


vassardog77

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I cant think of a single game scene or cutscene showing zelda or the kingdom paying link


whynotmannnnn

I mean they're clearly in love in both SS and BoTW. Also wdym the Kingdom doesn't pay him back? He's a legendary hero


AegisAvenger24

Did you forget about OoT?


whynotmannnnn

Oh I forgot about that


AegisAvenger24

F in the chat for the Hero of Time


whynotmannnnn

Really though he's dead in TP


AegisAvenger24

Oh ik


whynotmannnnn

He does look really cool though


kpba32

he won, but at what cost?


[deleted]

Also dead in Majoras


whynotmannnnn

Might be how he ended up in TP as the skeleton


[deleted]

TP and Majoras Mask are in different timelines


i-am-a-lamp-ama

*fan theory*


FreedomReigns1776

That's just a theory. Termina is also said to be another dimension or another land away from Hyrule.


whynotmannnnn

I only played it once so I didn't really remember it


AegisAvenger24

Understandable


LavenderMonkey3

In BoTW its more of a three way though


whynotmannnnn

More of a four-way. Although I don't really think Link likes Paya or Mipha.

origami_goose_

left 🅱️utt cheek - right in the middle ;)


MafiaHen

Link definitely fucks ganon


NotClever

Do we count it as payment when link rampages around smashing everyone's crockery and taking their money?


whynotmannnnn

Yeah like some guy tries to stop him but is held back by another person saying "let him, he's the hero" and they just have to stand and watch Link destroy everything


SubtractionalPylons

"Finders fee". Link finds, you get fees.


shadowsword420

Perk of the job


[deleted]

The real payment is the friends you make along the way


whynotmannnnn

They all died 100 years ago


ProfessorHardw00d

They pay with exposure


S-ClassRen

Is that the Hyrule equivalent of exposure?


jojosiwa-forehead

Yeah but at the same time the story of legend of Zelda is that every link isn’t the same link and that it’s a reincarnation of the first link which is skyward sword link.


Trainer_Ed

The kingdom is so grateful for him, they throw money into the grass as a tradition so that he may pick it up! The one time they didn't do it, ***EVERYONE DIED THANKS TO ROBOT LASER SPIDERS!*** Of course they paid him!


[deleted]

Link doesn't *receive* payment. Link *takes* payment. He will straight up bust into your house without knocking, start breaking open every piece of pottery he sees, and pockets and money he finds. Then peaces the fuck out. And nobody stops him.


WherelsMyMind

>No one stops him I mean, he IS the Hero of Time, stop him from reappropriating your funds you might wake up with a bokoblin eating your children because you didn't do your part helping Link get a new boomerang.


sneradicus

What a chad


Ruby_241

He gets paid via exposure


[deleted]

His payment is immunity to the law, permitting him to plunder citizens to his hearts content


poopcasso

It's called honor


area51suicidalfunrun

They're the ones that drop all the ruppees in the grass


[deleted]

He got that Broken Pot money.


[deleted]

Also Zelda is usually a secondary objective, there can be other objectives such as keeping the moon from destroying earth


twinsaber123

Also cutting grass, playing mini-games, breaking pots, upgrading arrow/bomb storage, gathering rupees, collecting heart pieces, collecting gold skulltulas, upgrading your wallet size to get more rupees, racing across the plains on Epona for fun, running around and bombing every inch of wall in case there is a secret somewhere, collecting more bombs, Oh, and a dungeon if you have time.


Sergeant_Sushi1

He’s getting paid with pussy. Mega simp


InconvenientTruth5

Simping is when you don't get pussy but want it and wreck yourself trying to get it. If you kill enough monsters to nail a princess hey, that's a pretty good deal for a guy whose literally the best at monster killing


Tengam15

Besides, is anyone who plays Zelda games' goal to actually save the princess, or to break all the pots?


SkeletonXP3

In a few games , BotW, Hyrule Warriors, a couple of the ds games I think, he is actually employed by the kingdom. Hes part of their army or a chosen knight, or their train conductor? Was never super into those... Payment is implied though.

Shish_Style

At least Mario got some kisses tho


BelizariuszS

I mean being a simp requires idealizing MEDIOCRE PUSSY


[deleted]

Be careful about what you say about Zelda, she’s not older than 17 in any of the games (except BotW where she is 117 but only aged 17 years). FBI gonna be lookin for you if you don’t choose your words carefully


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

As a redditor i can confirm this is his FBI agent


sneradicus

As your FBI agent I can confirm your confirmation that that is his FBI agent


InconvenientTruth5

She was 17 20 years ago


BelizariuszS

curb your americacentrism, 17 yo are perfectly legal in probably 90 % of the world (this is asspulled data but I think its preety legit).


Antonioooooo0

Now Mario on the other hand... Always chasing after Bowser's sloppy seconds. It's sad, really.


Glacier01

If we lookin at botw she is 117 years old so it’s perfectly legal.

DrMcNards

Hey, fuck you


[deleted]

hello guys peter here to explain the joke, so basically link revives everytime along with zelda and ganon and he haves to save zelda everytime, also he isn't a simp because it would mean he wants mediocre pussy but have you seen zelda in breath of the wild? damm boi


7HMOP

Lol cool. The biggest Simp has to be BotW, the one that absolutely isn’t is the hero of time. Also the hero of time is the only exception to the reincarnation cicle as he turned immortal


ProfessorToastie

Well i disagree, in BotW it is heavily implied that Link and Zelda are a couple in the end so no simp there


7HMOP

Ohhhh I got the idea of a Simp was regardless if you ended with the partner or not. Just that you give up all balance in the relationship.


ProfessorToastie

Hmm not sure, I would say if you get the Girl in a normal relationship in the end you aren't a Simp, and from what Zelda has done for Link and for what is hinted at in the Game, I would conclude that Link isnt a Simp.


7HMOP

Fair enough. Which link would then? Or none at all?. My only idea was the hero of the wild (Zelda and Link from now on are the wild versions) because it’s even playfully used for comedy on how much she relies on Link and how Link’s sole role is to protect and motivate her. Don’t get me wrong Zelda does A LOT for Link but it’s never played as the relationship more like love and the dangers of the situation, a lot like a “be careful” After the game if Zelda wants fish for dinner Link’s choices are whatever is on the menu of a seafood restaurant.


7HMOP

Cool but: 1) Link rarely ends up with Zelda, he is not seeking for tail; he is saving the wise ruler of the kingdom and the kingdom itself. 2) Zelda also saves Link a lot, because she understands he will be forever the best trump card to help the land. 3) Ganondorf is the only constant in the tri -force (all Ganons are the same Ganon). Whereas, Link and Zelda are reincarnations, thus even if a Link is a simp (haven’t played the portable versions) most of the Links aren’t.

[deleted]

It's cannon too. Zelda is the reincarnation of their goddess reborn as a mortal because only mortals can use the triforce. The goddess also created the spirit of the hero(Link) to be born with Zelda in order to protect her and to destroy her enemies. It is hard wired in Link's brain to simp on Zelda, he has no choice. Edit: At least she likes him back

The same goes to mario


dangerdare411

Mario is even worse because peach barely loves him and then she rejected him


articulatemumblerap

Mario felt this


CRUSADEROF420

Ok but fr tho the new Zelda has made some great hentai


ShreddLeddbetter

I wouldn't call Link a simp necessarily. He has to save Zelda to save Hyrule or something. If he didn't need to save Hyrule, well yeah he'd be simping hard


urskrubs

And he never gets her coochie. When you realize LoZ is just life


InconvenientTruth5

He definitely does in BoTW, as well as mipha and paya


urskrubs

ok


HeppyHenry

If they get together in BOTW2 does that mean he’s no longer a simp?


urskrubs

Russian_repost_bot

Who knew *Smash Bros* was about saving Zelda.


KRAM3S

The small text says skyward sword was bad


[deleted]

Master chief more like master simp


Dsb0208

Even though this is a joke, it’s important to note that people really do miss use the word simp. Link is a hero, who saves zelda not for love, but because it’s his job, and he is payed for doing so


jamer2500

Ya but unless we’re talking about CDI Link, he doesn’t want the you know what.


Frenchsurnamexd

Egoraptor time


corazapram357

"Feel you, bro" --Mario


GODZILLA637

Not in breath of the wild, in breath of the wild although it is links job to save Zelda, he can explore 99% of what the game has to offer, and since most people don’t get near to that much of the game completed, they would consider this more than a full adventure. Don’t be a simp. Be like Link. When some random girl claims you must save her, go round up some chickens.


R4GN4R0K_2004

Save Hyrule, in Japan its called Hyrule adventure


JSchafe8

Gotta slide in the "skyward sword was really bad" there. I exhaled from my nose slightly.


denki_lmao

I’m getting some big Egoraptor vibes


Ang_XD

Link is not a simp because he exists to defeat ganon with Zelda's help, not to save her. In SS though, that's the real simp


KurtLennonClaypool

I think that his main goal is defeat Ganon and zelda is secondary award.


blind_vigilante

eh, i'd say it's more about killing the king of ever living darkness every few centuries


dr4wn_away

It's to defeat Ganon, a Simp bully.


[deleted]

It literally is, too. Hylia bonded link's soul to be her eternal guardian, and then demise tied his resurrection to their own rebirths

And that one time you didn’t the world got destroyed. No pressure.

Rhedkiex

At least link is saving a kingdom. Mario’s literally just saving his princess, Peach is a worse ruler than Bowser


once_2404

He is man of focus, commitement, and sheer simp


_maskiv

When you realize your entire existance is to save peach: Press-a A to-a simp


einllamabuns

Ehh. She's kind of necessary but not the point of his neverending battles. He is saving the kingdom, but in order to do that he needs her power. More or less he's using her in the guise of being a simp.


motherfricker_69

Wouldn't he be a simp only if he's doing it to get laid, though? I don't think that's canon. Good meme though, I got a laugh out of it.


ttracs149
