āItās dangerous to go alone. Take thisā. Itās a classic Zelda line, uttered by the Old Man as he gives Link his first sword. But what if, instead of it being an old man, it was Linkās old lady?
Andrew Bridgman over on Dorkly explores this, making it not just Linkās mother, but what is surely a nagging Jewish one at that, worried about her sonās health, waistline and, of course, love life.
Iāve never even paused to consider the possibility that āLinkā has always just been short for āAlan Linkenbeanā. But hey, with Zeldaās canon possibly the loosest in all of gaming, you can never entirely rule it out!
