It’s the best possible pairing for Link.
She has the best character arc and evolution, which is tied to how attached she gets to Link, it’s popular with both male and female fans, and they have a complementary yin and yang thing going on.
Also I think the concept of a dark princess falling for a hero of light has a kind of edgelord appeal that Zelda can’t match.

You can actually feel Aonuma and Fujibayashi screaming in agony whenever Midna is brought up
Actually it's interesting how hard-stuck on Zelda as a partner for Link those two are when most games prior to their creative-control have them as either friends, bound together by the Triforce but they don't really know eachother, Zelda's just a damsel character and doesn't have much greater importance, or Zelda doesn't even enter the equation at all in some games like Link's Awakening (regardless of Marin resembling her)

I could very easily have seen it being a Majora's Mask echo and Link leaves Hyrule to try and find a way to get Midna back

I think it's hilarious that Midna basically has the yin yang design up to her butt cheeks.
That flame "pattern" is top tier on both forms.
Someone literally sat there and meticulously focused on what to draw on her from her mid section all the way down to her legs.
hell even one of the legs neon symbol patterns looks like a leg garter.
someone was firing on all cylinders of horny making Midna as a whole and whoever it was I will personally take a ticket to Japan to kowtow at that artist' feet.

>>738862059
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.

>>738859507
Imagine being a diehard shipper from 1998 and then TP kills your ship eight years later.

>>738862159
ill be honest i greatly prefer her true form to her imp form if that makes me weird than i am weird

>>738862268
They're both based for different reasons.

>>738862059
Now i think you are just being facetious. Assuming you aren't just "le epicly baiting" me, i would say that if you actually hold this opinion, then it says more about you than anyone else. When i first saw Midna, my mind didn't wander anywhere close to "she looks like a child". She looks like an animal. When i saw the obvious romantic undertones between Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, i never thought of Tinkerbell as even a possible allegory for a younger girl.
>midgets don't deserve to fuck someone because they look like kids.
Okay, but you get to tell them that, not me. If you look at a fantasy creature, and it causes you icky uncomfortable thoughts because it instantly makes you think about children, then that is on you.

Midna doesn't have IRL proportions of any real human. Not of a child, midget, or adult. Her appeal is in the realm of fantasy. She has a stylized exaggerated female form. It's the same type of thinking that lead men of olde to pop a stiffy when they looked at pic related.

>>738860757
Skyward Sword is probably the worst story in Zelda because of Hylia. It robs Link and Zelda of agency through “WE WERE ACTUALLY ALWAYS MEANT TO BE SIDE BY SIDE BECAUSE OF REINCARNATION O ALGO!”
And then they did it again in BOTW, and all the mouthbreathers ate it all up.

>>738862718
That could probably be one of the reason they're apparently looking into an Ocarina of Time remake (and by extension they'd be looking into new OoT style games since Nintendo doesn't do a lot of remakes unless it's to train new staff), getting the fuck out of Hylia in the narrative

Fujibayashi really likes his Zelda and Link are forever lovers thing, and I grant him, it sells extremely well with the female self-inserter market that has always sort of been a thing in this fandom, and has grown exponentially with BotW/TotK.

However, it has also absolutely thrown the story potential for the series of a cliff. You’re never getting an LA or MM again, because this new large majority is very content to eat their potato chip Sleeping Beauty narratives for quick dopamine and insist story never actually mattered in Zelda.

It does seem to happen a lot. Though usually they hide it/hate it for some other reason that doesn't have to do with merely looks. So it can't really be a commentary on like "beauty is on the inside" or "don't hide who you really are". I guess it could be a commentary more on trust and that people aren't always so quick to judge. Nia revealing her true form will always be the greatest moment of Xenoblade 2

I personally thought that baby-Volvagia part was really cheap and forced, especially since it came out of nowhere in a flashback right as he killed Volvagia.
The OoT manga was only two volumes though, right? I feel like they were rushed in making that one, whereas the TP one felt like a passion project that took them several years and 11 volumes. I was pleasantly surprised with the Midna/Link angle—I always thought it was a perfect setup for a star-crossed lovers archetype.

At any rate, I’m a fan of their work. I think they did most of the Zelda mangas, with the exception of the WW gag manga, which I also liked.

>I'm a newfag that missed the TP threads when the game came out and only focus on porn nowadays
People were posting about what section of dusk they made it through for the past couple days. Were all 100 of those threads on /h/ retard-kun?
game is fun but easy and has a couple section that are programmed like garbage. Aesthetically it's perfect, but the gameplay is pretty scattered with its ideas so some sections lack polish or even a finishing coat

I have a weirdly strong memory of a massive battle (as in a single boss) stretching across the entirety of the Hyrule field. Did that happen or did I make it up?

I'm pretty sure all the people calling everything pedo are actual pedos false flagging try to devalue the word like what happened to nazi and fascist
When you hear someones a nazi you instantly assume
>Oh I bet that guy makes good content, I should check him out
Like stonetoss, it's never an actual nazi

On the subject of Epona, I love how she's a huge and heavy lumbering draft horse.
I imagine Epona in OoT/MM to be quite swift despite the graphics.

Why are you attacking pochi like this?

>>738870413
Each individual title has a self-contained story that sometimes loosely references other titles, with OoT probably being the most referenced. How they fit together is an afterthought, with Miyamoto himself famously not caring, but there are three separate timelines that happened with OoT being the point they split. It doesn’t make logical sense there’s three and not two, but I think that was the only way to address other contradictions.
TP takes place in the child timeline, where Ganondorf’s conquest of Hyrule was thwarted by a child OoT Link warning them and leading to him being captured.

>>738870413
Every game was designed with lore that connected to at least one other game that already existed when it came out.
The timeline splits at Ocarina of Time because it's the game that involves time travel, but that's the only place it does.
There are three main timelines.
>The original timeline, which is the first two games + A Link to the Past
>The "child timeline", the results of Link being sent back before he opened the Temple of Time at the end of OoT, which is Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess
>The "adult timeline", the retroactively added thing that "REALLY" happened when Link beat Ganondorf at the end of OoT, leads to Wind Waker and the rest of the Toon Link games

Miyamoto only stopped caring when he handed the franchise to Aonuma. The Zelda team had a physical model of the timeline that they manually kept updated, until then.

One take is that the games really are told as legend. There's things that reoccur, overarching themes and ideas, and there is clear intentionality in what happens in each story and how they might fit together but overall there is no one canon, just as there isn't one for something like the Arthurian legend.
This makes it great as a game series because you can just jump in almost anywhere and you're not missing out just because you haven't played some other part of the series first.

The idea that the Zelda franchise wasn't meant to have continuity or it wasn't supposed to be important is western.
The "it's the same legend retold a bunch" explanation came from some random phone guy at Nintendo of America. It is about as far from canon as any Nintendo character participating in gender fuckery. It's an interesting interpretation, but requires ignorance of the actual franchise to work.

Why would you just ignore part of what I said? I explicitly indicated that there is intention in how the stories fit together, but for the purposes of someone who doesn't know anything about the series and might want to get into it then that isn't something to consider because almost every iteration of the game can be played on it's own without knowing anything about any of the continuity. The presentation of the story in any given game does not rely on it.

>>738871529
Of course an individual game can be played without knowledge of the timeline. But this is true of basically every game short of Mass Effect. People act like the Zelda timeline sits in some different place than the rest of media just because it simultaneously has both intentional timeline splits as plot elements resulting from time travel AND executive meddling resulting in reboots and retcons. But that also describes just about the entirety of the western comics industry. You don't get people waxing poetic about how Superman wasn't meant to have a continuity and thus you can start anywhere, people will just fucking tell you what the "main" Superman is.

Isn't Link still a teenager in the Twilight? He couldn't have been older than 16 and Hylians mature slower than humans.
Picrel is what Link would be like as an adult, Shade was the time Hero and Twilights ancestor so his height is good indication of what a full Link would be like.

Nigger, I never said there wasn't meant to be a continuity, you're putting that in my mouth because you have a stick up your ass about people using some particular phrasing about Zelda.
The strength of continuity and the subsequent need for having played other games in a series is not some strict binary, it is variable, and indeed many other series match the level of Zelda. The point of my comment was to indicate to that poster that, compared to what they might have guessed for themselves as an outsider, that the Zelda games are in fact on the side of not being that interlinked from game to game and you can very comfortably jump in anywhere, as opposed to some other series where the bonus to playing some parts of the series first might be much bigger. You could still define some suggested order to experience the Zelda series in the best way even then, but in general the need for that is lower here than for many others, which isn't something that is magically obvious to just anyone.

>>738873506
The official Zelda website has a timeline listed on it.
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom don't even have a line between them. They're just next to each other, floating away from the three pronged timeline we've had since 2011.

>>738850893
Honestly I've got nothing wrong with this. It's not like Zelda in TP was giving any kind of indication that she was interested. Lady is married to her job. It was either gonna be Midna or Ilia.

Sometimes they're characterized close or able to be close. Other times there's a distance between them. Sometimes Link is her neighbor or guard and gets to know her. Other times there's barely any interaction or there's no way she'd actually be with him when she has shit to do and royal expectations.

There's lots of considerations.
There's the practical concerns for a light worlder staying in the Twilight realm.
Bringing Link there means depriving the hero of Courage from Hyrule as well as potentially attracting whatever it is that might target him. The main pathway being severed isn't going to prevent fate from warping around Link as it does, which Midna saw first hand.
Her being the queen may cause all sorts of problems. Imagine Link in a world alien to him with no way to go back to Hyrule but likewise not being able to really be together with her as they would want to.
The worst outcomes are not guaranteed but clearly Midna chose the side of caution. The only problem is really if you assume that the mirror would literally be the only pathway, which at least the manga implies is not the case.
You can even assume this from the game alone, with how unclear it is on how exactly Midna and Zant actually moved between worlds at different points in time.

In terms of the story, I’m pretty sure the people of the twilight and light realms can’t safely exist in the other, and the existence of the mirror allowed Ganondorf to go over and fuck up everything in the twilight and then for Zant to go over and fuck up everything in the light.
Midna starts the game as driven, but still self-centered and immature in some ways, and her growing to the point of choosing the safety of her people over her own heart caps off her character arc.

In terms of what literally happened, in the game she destroys the mirror without him knowing that’s what she was planning. In the manga she pushes him away

that would have actually been a better ending. Midna realizes her world needs a fresh start so with Zant gone she severs the link to the twilight realm but remains in Hyrule so her people pick a new leader unburden by the past.

I think this is also the best that Zelda’s ever looked.
