Zelda and Link shippers are in shambles after Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment describes them as just friends, but after 39 years we can read between the lines

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment might be the 'untold story of Tears of the Kingdom' but Zelda appears to still be keeping some secrets to herself. One of the quests in the recent release called Learning the Blade contains a description of Link and Zelda's relationship, which is more than a little suspect.

As spotted by The Gamer, the Age of Imprisonment quest description, which is written as a journal from Lenalia, describes how Zelda told the chamberlain that she learnt her swordsmanship by "following the example of a knight – and friend – from her own time." As someone with her own feminine wiles this already raised alarm bells, but the original Japanese convinced me that our Hylian princess is being more than a little coy – as one fan puts it, "she is not fooling ANYBODY."
