Im sorry, but "obvious they have a thing for each other"? Zelda Queen, did YOU play the game?
I accept that there is a fandom for Zelda and Link. Hell, in a few games, you could make a case for it. But both characters had no personality in OoT, and exhibited no romance or interest in each other at all, besides planning to overthrow Ganondorf and possibly befriending each other as a result. Hammering this idea that they were clearly in love or infatuated in the game proper is almost as obnoxious as the Sue claiming that Link should love her. I'd rather Link marry Zelda, but still. Just because things are implied in the graphic novels doesn't mean it happened in the game. If you're going to be an authority figure criticising Jenna (who don't get me wrong, deserves every possible rebuke you could hurl at her), I'd appreciate not confusing fandom with canon.
Sorry if I'm being harsh, but as someone who has played this game many times and has seen no evidence there, it baffles and irritates me a smidge.
