Oh, sidequests
I was telling ayasugi_san the other day how a canon Zelda couple was sort of like Eriol/Kaho: Kafei and Anju from Majora's Mask. At least aesthetically speaking (hair colors, he had the Sun's mask while she had the Moon's mask, she doesn't mind he's stuck as a boy without being a pedophile...) Although the reason Kafei is little is more similar to Shinichi/Conan from Detective Conan, and it's not voluntary at all.
Then I wondered what do anti-E/K fans who are also into Zelda think about Kafei/Anju. If someone can be moved by Anju's love while bashing Kaho because she gets in the way of whatever they ship involving Eriol, I call hypocrit. Then again, K/A's romance is all over the place, and the end of the Couple's mask sidequest is so sad and awww D: But that's what happens when there's a stupid moon falling over your town in a minute...
So, some interesting links about Kafei/Anju:
- Wiki entry.
- Video of the whole sidequest: part one, part two. In case you're wondering, Link got the Kafei mask from Kafei's mom.
- Majora's Mask ending. Skip to 4:25 for the GOOD Kafei/Anju outcome: the wedding! Game programmers are evil and don't show Kafei's face, so supposedly we don't know if he turned back to an adult. I call bullshit: he HAS to be an adult, because their families and friends, who are there, don't look disgusted or shocked or anything. Still, so much hate for not showing the probable hotness of adult!Kafei! Grrr.
- Kafei's fanlisting. Also a tiny shrine for him.
And for more randomness, yet another Deviantart gallery with pretty Zelda fanarts here.
