You think thats the case? It would appear Link got a huge boost from BOTW despite being the same stupid mute character hes always been.

As for Zelda, what about BOTW was so appealing about her other than being a damsel in distress for Link to save, as always? At least TWW and related games had the whole pirate thing, and Zelda was not boosted back then.


Link has not gotten a "huge boost". No result he has put up has surprised me, nor many others here that I can tell? Nobody saw Noctis/Cecil/Zidane/Tidus all lose round 1 while Nintendo beasted and thought "gee, I bet Cloud is still capable of getting 46% on Link".

Zelda is definitely the one who has turned heads.

I haven't played BotW myself (not actually being a LoZ fan and all) but a lot of people have spoken highly of Zelda from the game. *shrug*

There are only about 30 minutes of cutscenes, all viewable on YouTube of course. Will save you 100 hours, 80 of which are spent walking.

Present day: Ganon has taken over Hyrule Castle and kidnapped Zelda. You have to save her.

100 years ago: Link was Zeldas royal knight. Zelda kept running into monsters and Link would have to save her. She had trouble channeling her sacred powers (granted by the Triforce) and kept failing despite the training. She instead wanted to be a scientist. She also had a crush on Link.

Thats about it, really nothing about this characterization (or any previous one) that would explain a doubling in popularity within a few years.
