with the release totk this line becomes so much better that no matter how many times you accidentally get yourself killed you’ll always be the most stupidest yet successful menace to ganondorf to the point where they’ll just constantly resort to links stupidity to knock ganon into next week
where anyone else would make a misstep and immediately die for it, link has the ability to take laser beams and explosions and giant metal crates to the face and get back up this meme on both sides shows moreso that humanity isn't mutually exclusive with success, just mutually exclusive with being idolized
I like to think that Link is the goofiest of the champions. Only there because he's so powerful. He can slow down time, recover in an instant by consuming an obscene amount of food, carry an entire armory and storehouse of stuff in his pocket, but nothing can change that he does the absolute dumbest shit. Yet somehow, how always manages to get the job done. There's a reason he's their only hope. They exhausted every other option before they finally had to call on him. Because he can defeat Ganon; but at what cost?
Ravioli🐦🍃: Welp, hyrule’s doom Urbosa👩🏽⚡️: Your Majesty maybe you should reconsider link for a better warrior. King of Hyrule🤴🏼: Umm….well he is the chosen hero of the wild. Daruk 🪨🔥: Okay…guess the little guy has obsessed with pots and broken weapons. Mipha 🧜🏻♀️🌊: “Shocks, what she sees at link.” Hero of Time 🕰️: “Disappointed at Wild.” Hero of Twilight 🌖: “Devastated.”
Zelda: well u better put him on a fuking leash cause will cause more damage than gannon would Link watching this in a tear: well eeeeeexxxxxcccccuuuuusssssseeeee me bit- princes.
Link is the equivalent of using a weapon of mass destruction and extreme collateral damage, after everything else has failed. He is the last option, because they don’t want to ask him for “help” unless anything else did not work out. And even then, they fear they are making a mistake for risking to solve a problem by setting loose a potentially bigger one. BOTW/TOTK Link is the living image of, “a force of nature that must be reckoned with”. Once he starts, everyone prays to the sky that they may be forgiven for taking such an extreme measure. Edit: corrected grammar and added text for dramatic purposes.
It somewhat matches with his Canon personality. Somewhat; to the extreme. He used to be a relatively laid back who loves his food and whatnot. He was also extremely competent warrior, a prodigy even. And when he got his role as Champion and bodyguard to the princess he became more stoic. Goofball young man, extremely competent warrior.
Couldn't Hylia have chosen a better hero mould? Did it have to be a socially awkward idiot who eats rocks? I mean, the main benefit is the fact that he's too stupid to quit.
He’s that one idiot who fails miserably, yet still somehow beats everyone. xD To the point where Ganon wouldn’t feel annoyed by him losing, but how the Dumb hero managed to do it.
She knows she's going to be waiting over a century for her knight in shining armor to save her. It's a good thing Ganondorf brought the yatzee board this time around.
Zelda: "Father are you sure there isn't another champion still alive?" King of Hyrule: "Nope, just this mute one-armed psychopath; who destroyed all those donated pots we gave to that orphanage."
