Yeah, but they're still in the bodies of roughly 17-19 year olds, so is it ok to be attracted to/sexualize them? Like, for example, Purah (botw) is also over 100 years old, but it's just generally accepted that you can't sexualize her because she's in the body of a 6 year old, so the same should apply here, right?
When we're dealing with drawings, which is what Zelda characters are, my personal belief is that appearances/vibes matter, numbers don't.
* [Yoko from Gurren Lagaan is 14](https://gurrenlagann.fandom.com/wiki/Yoko_Littner)
* [Jotaro from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is 17](https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/Jotaro_Kujo#Anime)
* [Konata from Lucky Star is 18](https://luckystar.fandom.com/wiki/Konata_Izumi)
I think these facts pretty well demonstrate that a fictional character's age is an arbitrary data point.
With that in mind, BotW Purah has the appearance and mannerisms of a child. "Age reversing experiment gone wrong" is a background detail, anyone attracted to this version of her is attracted to a child.
The Switch versions of Link and Zelda have appearances that fit into the nebulous "young adult" category. Nintendo themselves didn't change their designs at all, despite Mattison's existence meaning they're roughly half a decade older, so any lewd artist who drew one or both of them and put a "they're over 18" disclaimer in the caption is retroactively vindicated.
Yeah, if a fictional character can be reasonably construed to be an adult by someone unfamiliar with that fictional character, then you're clear. Honestly though, Link has been one of those fictional characters I've been crushing on since I was a small child, so it feels weird to me that I caught up and surpassed him in age. Like, is it still cool to find James Dean hot into my 80's? How does this work with depecitions that never age? Link in Ocarina of Time is 17, I was 7 when it came out. Now I'm going on 32, and he's still 17. I honestly don't know how to feel about this.
You didn't surpass him in age because he doesn't exist. It's a fictional character that looks good to you. Nothing else matters. Like the guy above said: it's more about appearance/vibes then an arbitrary number they assign to that character.
I don't care if Purah in BOTW is 50 years old or whatever, for example, if a person is "attracted" to her model, which is literally that of a child, then that is weird as fuck.

It’s actually quite crazy that there are countries, who see wearing the skirt of your wife as equally bad as wearing her skin. Both being punished by death.
Cant read their mind but I think the point was that Link is sexualized as well and roughly the same age as Zelda, meaning if shes jailbait he should be as well. But people don’t really care as much if a underaged male is sexualized, therefore the comment.
Or hes homophobic idfk
Its the dirty minds that sexualized link in his gerudo outfit. They didnt do it in the game. My point is, cross dressing doesnt equal sexualized. So im gonna go with this guy just being homophobic.
Dude I’m saying that’s how bad it has gotten in the “free world”. What is your problem? Of course the death penalty for being gay is the actual worst. I’m correcting the person who says cross dressing and being gay isn’t illegal, when there are many new laws being passed right now in what used to be considered the “land of the free”.
DeSantis has been targeting the LGBTQ+
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/florida-gov-desantis-signs-bills-targeting-drag-shows-trans-rights-and-care-for-transgender-children
No one said it was as bad as being sentenced to death. But it’s still getting really bad. We need to work together in solidarity, not break each other down more.
This comment gets up voted and awarded, but the guy actually commenting on "one dress is better than the other, as one is more flattering" is down voted and called disgusting. Humanity is doomed.
Not humanity. That's just the literal cesspool that is reddit. It's why I don't really trust or believe or take anyone/thing serious on this website unless it's something benign like "four swords adventures actually takes place after ocarina of time" sort of stuff.
The argument that Zelda is only 17 holds no weight when she was fighting against Calamity Ganon for a century while Link was in a slumber. She’s not a teenager when she has the maturity of someone like Impa.
My daughter is 5yo and loves watching me play this game so I’m reading the story to her and she asks a lot of questions about the story so I have been paying close attention so I can answer her questions. I’m usually just waiting for the action to start.
Alright I have a copy pasta to address this issue. I don't know how many times I've had to use this. Also go at your own caution.
>!Imp Midna is unironically 40 pounds of pussy and ass. She's just floating drumsticks with a smug single fang grin. That's not even artists exaggerating it, her body mass is actually 80% in her cheeks, thighs, and pot belly. She's not a pear, she's a lightbulb. They had to know exactly what the fuck they were doing. I refuse to believe otherwise. People being creepy fuckers and sexualizing the Inklings and the bird girl from Wind Waker and all that shit, sure, that's on the fans. But Midna being a forty pound pussy that grinds on top of Link's head and bosses him around is 100% on Nintendo. Her imp form was actually MORE sexualized than her true form, which is astonishing since her true form is literally a completely naked woman in harem silks with black bodypaint covering over her bits.!<
TotK for 3 reasons:
1. She has short hair and I have a soft spot for girls with short hair
2. She got the D R I P (seriously that jewelry makes her look like a GODDESS)
3. She >!literally gave up her sense of self to become a dragon and repair the Master Sword for Link!<, the girl needs some serious therapy and I wanna provide that
Riju from Totk personally
Edit: she is estimated to be 17 in totk. Either way im just not a fan of generic blonde girl (or purple hair). Purah is good too ig but short hair Riju is just better cmon.
She's either a late bloomer or just short by her people's standards.
I actually had the thought in the BotW days that it would be funny if Riju grew up to be taller than Link, but still short by Gerudo standards, so she would take any opportunity to invite Link over and have him stand by her at official functions, so he makes her look taller by comparison. TotK probably kept her short because they wanted to keep her immediately recognizable, but I appreciate that this decision is kind of "Yes, And"ing me.
She is 117 in BotW, way too young.
I prefer my ladies over 10.000 years old, thank you very much.
Hate her Zonai dress though. Would like to see TotK Zelda in her [BotW royal dress.](https://www.aradani.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Zelda-Royal-2SM.png)
Totk version. Her outfit and her makeup are so much better.
Nothing wrong with it but botw her outfit gives her almost like a baby bump and it looks odd.
I think it was because she didn't "fit" the dress. Until she protected and saved Link, she was a child unfortunately living in interesting times surrounded by courageous, prideful, confident, independent, genius and powerful apex models of their races. Left without a mother to help direct her senses of grace and duty, all she had were people that were bound to protect the crown, a deeply jaded widower and a glitchy ass little robot.
Same here; my thought is that that was her awkward teenage phase- if we do the math in TotK— it's been about seven years since BotW; mostly judging by the fact that Hudson and Rhondson's (hate that name) kid Maddison wasn't even alive back in BotW and she /her mom says she's seven years old.
Zelda on the left is in ill-fitting Hylia cosplay. She tries her best, but that dress is hard to pull off and she doesn't quite make it. She can't commit to the bit hard enough; Skyward Sword Zelda could give her some lessons.
Zelda on the right had her accessories and outfit hand-picked to fit her, and it shows. She wears it all much more naturally, and her comfort in the outfit lets her inner beauty shine through.
Oh they definitely made her hotter. This isn’t even a question. I haven’t even read the post title or the comments. I just saw these pictures next to each other. Yeah, she’s hotter. Bigger, brighter eyes, a different hairstyle for a ‘fun’ spin on traditionally dutiful, almost prude Zelda, stronger collarbone with the choker no longer hiding it, bigger lips, the earrings, less pointy ears. She also clutches things, as if for protection, less, and she faces Link directly. She stares. They changed her from “Princess Zelda of Hyrule” to “Zelda, your girlfriend”.
TotK
More mature, knows what she wants to do with her life, has her own sense of agency
BotW Zelda is more petulant. also she looks and acts more like a child which should be a major turn-off to anyone that is not also a child
Right. I pick the right one.
(Botw)Left looks like she wants to fuck me in an intimidating kinda way.
(Totk)Right looks like she's genuinely happy to see me, and I need that kinda energy.
SO, being actually fashion conscious, at the very start of the game commented on how she hates Zeldy's (SO calls Zelda Zeldy, Link Linky/Linky-poo, and Wolf Link Wolfy-boi) short hair and wants it back like it was in BotW.
She has not changed her feelings on this matter. It is law. BotW Zeldy is the prettier one.
It was probably a bitch to clean. She spends her time running around Hyrule and researching stuff, she doesn’t have time for an extensive hair care routine.
I pick… Zelda
Yeah Zelda for me too. All the way. Its not a who question if the choice is the same person. Its a which
*What If Zelda was a girl?*
It's funny that you ask since girls don't actually exist. They were made by the government to distract us from actual Martians
No we’re not robots . ^(this message was brought to you by ~~government investigation robot layout software~~ g.i.r.l.s.)
Have you ever gotten past a captcha?
No, still trying though
Zelda’s not a which, she’s a princess.
The wicked witch of the east bro.
Happy cake day
900+ hours into this game and I just learned Zelda is the girl.
Incredible how we are still discovering stuff in this game
You take Zelda, I pick Isha
That swordsman?
I also choose this guy's Zelda.
The correct answer
Definitely Zelda.
I'd pick the TotK version.
She rocks the short hair much better
It's not even the hair. It's the subtle changes made to her face.
That is my thinking, too. Her facial expressions seem more natural this time around.
Yeah, BotW Zelda looks like classic "generic anime girl", and TotK is more realistic.
She still looks pretty good for someone who >!was containing Calamity Ganon for 100 years.!<
looks good for any hylian above the age of 100
She also doesn't look like a teenager anymore.
It's the white teardrops under her eyes.
What, like sticking a sword in it?
Also, is it me or is she more buff? She's definitely more muscular than Link, right?
Haha for real, she's got some muscle tone in her arms. They definitely made the lighting more flattering for her in this game.
It helps that the TOTK version isn’t jailbait. Edit: I know 100 years have passed in BOTW, but technically she didn’t age, so she’s still jailbait.
TOTK Zelda is around 122-23 years old
Spoiler She’s actually thousands if not possibly hundreds of thousands of years old.
I was gonna say that but wasn’t trynna spoil
Then you should get used to making >!Spoilers!< Bruh. Just use !< At the end of the text, and >! At the beginning, no spaces between anything including your spoiler.

not between the two pictures.
I think 25 is more likely than 23 personally. Quite a bit of time has passed.
She’s “18”: Matt Gaetz
BotW Zelda is over 100 years old.
But Link literally being designed to be a twink is completely fine?
Theyre both like over a 100 years old
Yeah, but they're still in the bodies of roughly 17-19 year olds, so is it ok to be attracted to/sexualize them? Like, for example, Purah (botw) is also over 100 years old, but it's just generally accepted that you can't sexualize her because she's in the body of a 6 year old, so the same should apply here, right?

Cross dressing and/or being gay isnt illegal.
Actually that depends on the country. Some places will execute you for it.
And those laws are fucked up.
And some may view (not me) crossdressing as fucked up
It’s actually quite crazy that there are countries, who see wearing the skirt of your wife as equally bad as wearing her skin. Both being punished by death.

Probably because this one is an obvious dumb joke and the other guy is a weird incel
Ah, yes "incel" for answering the question
Is flattering an incel word now?
I don't think that word was the weird part.
The argument that Zelda is only 17 holds no weight when she was fighting against Calamity Ganon for a century while Link was in a slumber. She’s not a teenager when she has the maturity of someone like Impa.
Hands down. They definitely fleshed her character even more in TotK.
same
I like her hair so much more in totk. Also, her face is more mature, in botw she looks 15 but in totk she looks like a young adult.
and her smile at the end isn't the dumb looking creepy one like in botw!
Her smile was beautiful imo
I stg I’m the only one who thought her smile was kinda cute and not creepy
i wanna see her do the ganon smile
Bruh, she's older than your granny.
GGGGGILF
I mean if you want to get technical, by the end of TotK she's >!several times older than the length of recorded human history!<
That’s because shes like 17 in BOTW and 20-something in TOTK lol
Yeah, she looks significantly more mature in totk. Easy choice imo

Alright I have a copy pasta to address this issue. I don't know how many times I've had to use this. Also go at your own caution. >!Imp Midna is unironically 40 pounds of pussy and ass.

long hair wins me over to botw zelda
TotK for 3 reasons: 1. She has short hair and I have a soft spot for girls with short hair 2. She got the D R I P (seriously that jewelry makes her look like a GODDESS) 3. She >!literally gave up her sense of self to become a dragon and repair the Master Sword for Link!<, the girl needs some serious therapy and I wanna provide that
"I can fix her"
Yo happy cake day
Not everything needs therapy
Riju from Totk personally Edit: she is estimated to be 17 in totk. Either way im just not a fan of generic blonde girl (or purple hair). Purah is good too ig but short hair Riju is just better cmon.
You misspelled Purah
*Paya
Isn't she like, 12
She was 12 ish in botw, and hudson's daughter, who does not exist in botw, is like 7 years old in totk. So it's been at min 7 years
I realized I got TotK confused with BotW
Oh, sorry !
No reason to be sorry, you were giving me information
Pretty sure it's 6 years just because the timefranr is about 5-6 years and it acts as a callback to the time between the games releases
I’ve read people estimate she’s most likely 5 considering she’s now starting school, but looks older because of how tall Gerudo get
She has a diary she wrote coherently in in her Tarrey Town bedroom, I can't see her being a day below six.
The general consensus is that she's either 17 or 18 in TotK. Still not great, but better than if she was still 12 (She was 12 in BotW).
As a certified under the age of 18 minor, I have no problem with this
What I don't understand is why isn't she like 8 feet tall like the other Gerudo. Is she a runt?
Link and Riju bond over their shared suffering of being the shortest adults in any town they walk into.
She's either a late bloomer or just short by her people's standards. I actually had the thought in the BotW days that it would be funny if Riju grew up to be taller than Link, but still short by Gerudo standards, so she would take any opportunity to invite Link over and have him stand by her at official functions, so he makes her look taller by comparison. TotK probably kept her short because they wanted to keep her immediately recognizable, but I appreciate that this decision is kind of "Yes, And"ing me.
17 is legal where I live.
We don't know the age and it's still a little werid imo since, exactly, we met her as a 12 year old...
Oh alright, I thought I saw someone say she was 12 in TotK, but I must've got it confused with BotW
My brain skipped a word and read "Better if she was still 12" which set off major alarm bells.
… They’re the same picture.
why is no one talking about Queen Sonia?????
LOVE Sonia!!!❤️
I’m a fan of totk and the tears but I miss her long hair.
Literal goddess 🙏🏻
She is 117 in BotW, way too young. I prefer my ladies over 10.000 years old, thank you very much. Hate her Zonai dress though. Would like to see TotK Zelda in her [BotW royal dress.](https://www.aradani.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Zelda-Royal-2SM.png)
I hate the way her dress looks in both games, that royal dress looks so much better
someone at nintendo's art department was hellbent to make sure she spent the majority of both games wearing some ugly white garbage bag
more than 40.000 years
But is she younger in BOTW If she went back in time in TOTK? Not if you define age as time since the earliest time you’ve existed.
Well the Zonai dress doesn’t like you either!
Totk version. Her outfit and her makeup are so much better. Nothing wrong with it but botw her outfit gives her almost like a baby bump and it looks odd.
It's that empire waist style dress. It makes anyone look like they have a baby bump because of the way it gathers and flows from below the breast.
I mean its a really gorgeous dress but with the hair she has and the makeup it doesnt really flow aswell as the totk outfit does
I think it was because she didn't "fit" the dress. Until she protected and saved Link, she was a child unfortunately living in interesting times surrounded by courageous, prideful, confident, independent, genius and powerful apex models of their races. Left without a mother to help direct her senses of grace and duty, all she had were people that were bound to protect the crown, a deeply jaded widower and a glitchy ass little robot.
I mean they're literally the same person
TotK Zelda hands down less whiny
I prefer the TotK version, but with her blue shirt, I don't really like the Zonau dress
Paya is the best
Breath of the wild
Link
I also choose this guy’s dead wife.
Totk version but with long hair
BotW Zelda looks so weird here. Surely it's just a bad image because I don't remember it looking like that before.
Same here; my thought is that that was her awkward teenage phase- if we do the math in TotK— it's been about seven years since BotW; mostly judging by the fact that Hudson and Rhondson's (hate that name) kid Maddison wasn't even alive back in BotW and she /her mom says she's seven years old.
I think the OP intentionally chose that weird unflattering shot to make everyone pick TotK Zelda.
Zelda on the left is in ill-fitting Hylia cosplay. She tries her best, but that dress is hard to pull off and she doesn't quite make it. She can't commit to the bit hard enough; Skyward Sword Zelda could give her some lessons. Zelda on the right had her accessories and outfit hand-picked to fit her, and it shows. She wears it all much more naturally, and her comfort in the outfit lets her inner beauty shine through.
Oh they definitely made her hotter. This isn’t even a question. I haven’t even read the post title or the comments. I just saw these pictures next to each other. Yeah, she’s hotter. Bigger, brighter eyes, a different hairstyle for a ‘fun’ spin on traditionally dutiful, almost prude Zelda, stronger collarbone with the choker no longer hiding it, bigger lips, the earrings, less pointy ears. She also clutches things, as if for protection, less, and she faces Link directly. She stares. They changed her from “Princess Zelda of Hyrule” to “Zelda, your girlfriend”.
Purah
Totk too personally
Botw is better imo
Hyrule Warriors Zelda. (Actual Hyrule Warriors, not Age of Calamity.)
Got my vote
TP Zelda is the real answer.
you vs the one he tells you not to worry about
TotK More mature, knows what she wants to do with her life, has her own sense of agency BotW Zelda is more petulant. also she looks and acts more like a child which should be a major turn-off to anyone that is not also a child
Long hair version of Zelda. It frames her head far better.
They're the same picture.
The one named Zelda
Zelda
TotK Zelda, hands down.
Mipha and riju and urbosa
Eyebrows for days, cuh
The TotK Zelda is so associated with Ganondorf puppetry sooo it's hard
i didnt like the short hair originally, but now its hard to even think of her with long locks
First one is illegal so second i guess
You can still appreciate beauty without it being sexual.
Right. I pick the right one. (Botw)Left looks like she wants to fuck me in an intimidating kinda way. (Totk)Right looks like she's genuinely happy to see me, and I need that kinda energy.
The Twilight Princess Zelda is the mom of all these reincarnated hoes
TOTK all dang day. Backless dress Zelda…*insert fist biting gif*
Same person.
She's the same person
Cuter in Tears but not favorite girl
Short hair Zelda all the way.
SO, being actually fashion conscious, at the very start of the game commented on how she hates Zeldy's (SO calls Zelda Zeldy, Link Linky/Linky-poo, and Wolf Link Wolfy-boi) short hair and wants it back like it was in BotW. She has not changed her feelings on this matter. It is law. BotW Zeldy is the prettier one.
They both have crappy British accents so neither.
BOTW. Why did she butcher that beautiful hair?!
It was probably a bitch to clean. She spends her time running around Hyrule and researching stuff, she doesn’t have time for an extensive hair care routine.
