Obviously will come with some subjectivity. If a normal person would typically feel comfortable with their Grandma in the same situation, I will likely count that as platonic.

I've been really conflicted here. I find it compelling that they seem to have lived in the same house at one point, and there is only one bed. But they were far from explicit so it is hard for me to simply resolve yes.

I think resolving to 80% is fair given the circumstances, but please let me know if traders disagree and we can discuss.

predicted NO

@CarsonGale lol i didn't even know that, and I'm pretty late in the game. Is this an easter egg where you find a specific house?

@TiredCliche Did you play BotW? One of the late-game quests is creating your own house in Hateno, then in TotK that same house turns out to be where Zelda lived. And I believe there's a diary somewhere where it is mentioned that Link/Zelda lived together in that house.

predicted NO

@CarsonGale I did, I forgot about that. Haven't done the Hateno quests yet for whatever reason so haven't really explored the place. Thanks!

predicted YES

@CarsonGale 80% is fair, I think!

predicted NO

Well, to be fair I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable [spoiler]ing my grandma while she [spoilers], and I spent a long time doing that to Zelda in this game.

predicted NO

I really gotta finish this game huh

predicted YES

Is there a resolution timeline here - do you know when you might have a chance to play the game?

predicted YES

Called it

(Edit, because the Tweet isn't specific: Zelda's English voice actress.)

predicted NO

@evergreenemily nothing in the link clarified it as being "romantic," only a relationship. as much of a zelink shipper i am, i dont think this is conclusive evidence just yet.

bought Ṁ40 of YES

@astyerche I don't necessarily consider it conclusive evidence, especially on its own, but I do think it makes the in-game evidence stronger.

predicted NO

@evergreenemily on some level, i would love this level of confirmation. im not sure if you've seen that one memory where zelda is talking about link, buts its very cute and would reccomend finding it. but on the other hand, i think it would be awesome if they were still platonic, since that type of representation in media is not super present, but nintendo seems to be baiting at a relationship, and since the games canonically are like 3 to 5 years apart, who knows!!!

zelink theorists doing that tableflip rn, also best headcanon that link cut zeldas hair lol

predicted YES

@astyerche Oh, absolutely the best headcanon!!! I love cute stuff like that.

I should bet NO for insurance as a Zelink shipper, but at the same time I'm very much hoping for this to resolve as YES eventually...

predicted NO

@evergreenemily Betting on something just because you hope for it is a good way of making yourself even more disappointed.

You’re right that there’s a tradeoff between insurance and betting on your hopes; the optimal strategy is to figure out how likely the thing you hope for is, and bet the market to that point. Which is what you should be doing anyway.

predicted YES

@NcyRocks Well, I'm not only betting because I hope it's true - I genuinely think the probability is in the 40-50% range.

how about sleeping in the same bed?

@JackGaller would depend on context, but if it was sexually charged then seems like it could resolve Yes. Deep looking into each other's eyes would be notable here.

predicted YES

@CarsonGale how about the implication that they live in the same house / sleep in the same bed?

@JackGaller Very hard for me to gauge sans context - would depend on how strong the implication is. Like if they are traveling together and they happen to be sleeping near each other or on the same patch of grass but it isn't romantic I don't think that would resolve positively.

bought Ṁ50 of YES

@JackGaller Haven't seen the leaks, but I think I know where this is going, LMAO. I hope it's what I think it is, it would be cute.

predicted YES

@JackGaller I finally got there and I'm so glad it was exactly what I thought it would be!

predicted YES

@evergreenemily Yeah it’s really cute! Just got there yesterday.

I’m blown away how much more detail there is in everything. Been playing on and off since release, and probably only like 5% in overall. There’s so much more to everything.

predicted YES

@JackGaller Yeah, it's wild (pun intended). I'm 30 hours in and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of the game.

bought Ṁ20 of YES

well this original comment aged well…

predicted NO

@Chizardium I think it was posted just after the first leaks.

predicted YES

@NcyRocks yeah, r/gamingleaksandrumours had a whole megathread on Zelda leaks. Before the game came out, I spent basically the two weeks prior just reading leaks. So far it’s been very profitable.
