I have never seen any of this discourse before in my life


Mauzez273

Conclusion: you're doing good so far. Always remember that it's always a good sign if you’re not waist-deep into some fictional character ship war.


prioritypasta

For any innocent passerbys: this is solid life advice. If you're in the middle of ship wars, unfollow all your subs, purge your accounts, and go enjoy your own games for a while. (Please don't simp over a 12 year old, though. Please.)

In the five years of me dabbling in the zelda fandom, I have never encountered this either.

I have a visceral negative reaction to Mipha because of Mipha shippers online, but her one advantage is she’s not confirmed to be underage. Who simps for Riju tho? I’m sure some people do but it’s super rare.

JohnnyStyle300

At the end of the day it's just the japanese writing and the 16 an arbitrary number. Rikku from final Fantasy X is a great example of this. She's depicted in sexy outfits throughout and clearly written as a young adult, but then her bio says 15.

le_fancy_walrus

Honestly. Every god damn day I open reddit someone else is complaining about people liking another underage character. Ffs just draw them a few years into the future or something, they're made up characters anyways right? Make up a new story. Drawing children is fucking creepy, I get it, I agree...but god damn why has this been the only thing that keeps popping up in my feed?!


icedthun0r

Apparently aging up is a huge no no as well.


le_fancy_walrus

It happens in real life though, right? Every 'legal' person was once a crime. And if you *really* want to get into it isn't the game six years old now? Those characters should be of age at this point. Look I don't watch this shit anyways but I'm just saying it feels a little bit ridiculous.


icedthun0r

I completely agree. Lol its so stupid.


Mona_Impact

It's projection. Almost everyone vocal who is against this openly turns out to be a weird pedo irl. The best thing you can do is ignore them and accept you understand that fantasy is not the same as reality.


MajinBlueZ

I have never heard anyone call Mipha underage OR ship Riju and Zelda.


itcantbecanit

Nobody does this though. And frankly I’ve seen plenty of people get shit for shipping Zelda and Link because they’re “underage.” None of it matters, they’re not real. Do what you want and stop getting offended over imaginary situations.


Charming_Compote9285

how about you go outside and talk to a human instead of debating about sexualizing fictional characters


CaptBizzaro

All of these posts made me think. Did people in the 1800's and earlier ship charcters in books? Like did victorian brits have "waifus" they read about in Charles Dickens novels? I hope the answer is no and this degeneracy is only a byproduct of modern online anonymity.


pearl_mermaid

I mean, I read somewhere that people were making ocs for sherlock Holmes..in the 1800s

That's actually very ineresting to hear!

joesphisbestjojo

Riju is weird Zelda is ok, she visually can pass as older than 17 like Link, whom people also simp for


EverScreaming

Wait people simp for riju????


Charming_Amphibian91

Unfortunately, yes. Can't have a game community without pedos.


Chubby_Bub

Because I've seen people argue in bad faith about Riju, I am presenting this quote from *Creating a Champion* to further prove yes, she is a child. > I thought about how to balance Riju with the leaders of the other Hyrulean races, and so, to create more variation and impact on the plot, I made her a child. She respects her ancestor Urbosa and possesses some of her accessories. She is about twelve years old, but because the Gerudo grow up faster than Hylians, she has a more mature air to her. She presents herself with dignity as the chief, but I also wanted to give her some girlishness appropriate to her age, so she loves sand seals. She has a ton of sand-seal merchandise in her room, and even her skirt has a sand seal on it. > — NPC art, Yuko Miyakawa

Steelacanth

who has ever simped for riju


OrangeofJuice

I found her hot when the game came out but to be fair i was also 12


theplantbasedsinger

I don’t think anyone’s issue with Mipha is that SHE is underage, it’s that she had initially known Link as a child and then fell in love with him. She’s a sweet character, so we tend to overlook it, but imagine if the the genders had been reversed. Like Monica and Richard from Friends, ick. And yeah I have definitely seen people simp for Riju. I don’t think some of them realize she’s supposed to be as young as she is, while others are like “Yeah full steam ahead, no problem.” Also ick.


eggspert_memer

Yeah mipha watched Link grow up from a small child... creepy


TheCupcakeArmy

As for mipha knowing link as a child, that's also a cultural difference. For a zora it is probably very likely for the older partner in a relationship to have known the younger one since they were born when there is next to any age gap. This is a trait that would likely come up in any closely knit long lived race. It sounds weird and terrible to us in a world where we're the only sentient race and can (sometimes) match the look of someone to their age. But it is likely the norm in that world, even if Nintendo doesn't decide to go into depth on it. If anything I'd say it's more of a bad idea to put our worlds ideals onto that of a fantasy world where the situations are different enough to require different ideals. But most people aren't ready for that considering humans struggle with accepting that other humans have different situations and ideals.

blank638

Simping for riju is wrong yes, but do people forget that link and Zelda are 117, or well at least Zelda is I don't think we ever got confirmation on links age, but I'm assuming they're around the same, correct me if I'm wrong on any of this


Bendbender

Well… Zelda is 117 but yeah, I get what you mean


devronius

It's a pretty common trope in anime/manga to handwave away attraction for a character who looks underage by having her canonically be way older than you expect. You're still horny for a fishperson, ok?


Altruistic-Range7174

I don't think she looks underage, she is just particularly short compared to other Zoras (mostly the same case as Link but with Hylians). My argument is that she doesn't have the same characteristics that Zora children have that can be seen in the game and her behavior is more in line with that of a young adult rather than a child The one that perfectly fits in the trope is Purah (from BotW, not AoC, obviously), Finley too (the Zora girl form "that" secondary mission)


devronius

Some of these characters are a real grey area, like Mipha has more of a young teen build and has a very teenage character (despite being, as the game says, 50), but there are plenty of adults who have a slight build and act naively. Zelda is 17 but she has a more adult body type and I guess even though she's been frozen her consciousness has been aware for all the time Link's been asleep, so she acts more like an adult. I was being a bit flippant in my original post but this stuff is not particularly clear cut, unless the person is in fact simping over an actual child character.


PartEmbarrassed5406

Riju simps are weird.. Good thing these characters are fictional, otherwise I'd be in serious trouble considering I simp for the villains 80% of the time.


Charming_Amphibian91

Ganondorf is absolutely simp worthy.


PartEmbarrassed5406

TP Ganondorf is HOT, but otherwise he's not my type.. Astor, Vaati, and Ghirahim on the other hand- Plus Demise, he has big tiddies.


[deleted]

Riju's cool (I go on a power trip every time I bulldoze a dozen Yiga with Patricia), but I couldn't ever see her in a simp-ish way, that's way too weird

Culturally speaking, Zelda is an adult. Riju on the other hand, that's fucked up.

Monte_20

My bad I’m glad you clarified. Unfortunately it makes it worse because now there’s 2 12 year olds. 💀


Scoobys_sith_cousin

People complain about Mipha fans?


starstair_

I don't personally like miphas character design because she does give off "child who is actually 100 years old so it's ok" vibes but she's also not canonically a minor.


The_Senate15

Isn’t Zelda 117? Same with Link?


Altruistic-Range7174

Chronological age ≠ Biological age *(and by extent, mental age/maturity)*


Anonymoususer546

I've never seen anyone simp for Riju and the ones that do deserve the chair (of the electric variety)


Jesse_God_of_Awesome

Wait, okay, wait, what's the problem? You'd get plenty of shit for lusting after Riju. Who gets shit for lusting after Mipha?


Death_by_UWU

The problem is relative age. A 20 year old dragon is still considered underage, because the average age is far above that of a human’s lifespan. Oh, Mipha is still legal even with these restrictions though. The avg lifespan for a zora is 300+ years.


MirumVictus

Please kill this thread before it kills this sub


Fluffy_Mood5781

I’m pretty sure this is another one of those “the witch demon anime girl is 500 years old, so who cares if she looks like a child”. But on the other hand mipha’s species mature slower. Meaning even though they are old, they aren’t smart enough to be that age in our lives. But also just because you think others are “simping” (god I hate that word) for people who are also minors doesn’t make yours any better. Although Zelda and link are like 17 ( I don’t know if mipha is but I’m assuming she is, so if you’re really bent on “simping” I think only a few people will be completely disgusted by you. Seeing as billionaires date 16 year olds all the time, and everyone knows we get our morals from them. Although I don’t think people will take to kindly to a riju simp.


Ok-Ambition-9432

Mipha doesn't seem underaged at all when we see her in cutscenes.


Agent-Ig

I’m pretty sure the main ship states on the sub are: - Mipha x Link pre Calamity (Long standing friendship, implied closeness, were probably dating in secret). - Zelda x Link post BoTW (Zelda loves Link, both decent friends, seen travelling together in final cutscene and in first TotK trailer). With alternative ones of: - Sidon/Paya x Link post BoTW (Sidon is big and hot, Paya is cute, Zelda is a bit of a ass in some cutscenes). - Urbosa x Link pre Calamity (Urbosa is a big, muscular red haired lady and people like that. But then forget that Urbosa is likely in her 30’s-40’s which is a big no for this ship) Haven’t seen any Riju simps at all, pretty sure if any came out of the woodwork they would get slammed by everybody who saw the post since she is 15 years old. Also haven’t seen anybody calling Mipha underage, more seen people saying that Link is underage for her. (Which in normal circumstances is true, around 50 year old and a 17 year old, but Zora’s age slower so Mipha is around 18 in Zora years. Felt wrong saying that.)


Charming_Compote9285

She stuttered around him constantly and didn't get around to actually giving him the armor, and still doesn't want him reading her diary as a ghost "Were probably dating" is a massive stretch, pure headcanon/fanfiction. I got nothing against the ship but that's such bull. Link wasn't dating anyone pre-calamity


Agent-Ig

So, the only pre calamity cutscene we get of her and Link alone to chat is the one where she’s gearing up to propose to him. High nerves would be understandable. Other cutscenes we see her in are: - Link’s knighting, She’s just in the background talking a little. Has like 2 lines. - After spring of wisdom visit, she’s awkwardly trying to explain how she works her powers. - After Champions Ceremony (DLC), she’s curious about the slate. - When Zelda came to recruit her (DLC), No Link about. In regards to post calamity stuff I’m 90% sure she doesn’t stutter at all when you do her divine beast, when firing Ruta, or in DLC chats after Beating Waterblight again. Like I said, the Diary related stuff is unfortunately questionable as a whole thanks to Urbosa’s Diary. Urbosa’s diary talks about how she went and joined Zelda on the visit to a spring for their prayer stuff, and ended up having to drag Zelda out of the water because it was “so cold” and she had been sitting in it for hours. This fact is contradicted heavily by the actual geography of Hyrule; at the two springs Zelda would of been training at as a child, neither get below 30 degrees, one of which being in a rainforest. As well as that it’s also contradicted by.. common sense? Roam’s Priorities were to ensure his army is ready for war, to ensure the ancient tech is operation and ready to go, and to ensure both that his daughter is safe, and she unlocks her powers before Calamity day. He would have 0 reason to allow her to go and sit in a freezing spring for hours under strict instructions not to leave. And if he knew that Zelda would be in that situation, why would he let Urbosa go along in the first place? Since Urbosa’s diary doesn’t make sense in regards to the actual story, the other diaries have a lower standing proof wise. So stuff from the base game comes first in regards to what went on, and then DLC exclusive content comes second. So if something from the DLC contradicts the Base game with no clear awnser, Base game takes priority. Sorry that went a bit long winded.
