The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

* After winning the bird-riding contest, Link is flying back toward Skyloft when Zelda excitedly jumps out into the clouds. Link hurriedly swoops in to catch her, after which Zelda nonchalantly says that she's fine. It's a relatively minor scene, but it does a whole lot to flesh out the cute relationship that Link and Zelda have.

** A lot of the interactions between Zelda and Link at the start of the game have a very "d'awww" vibe. For instance, Link thinking that he's supposed to kiss the goddess surrogate while standing on top of the statue just makes you giggle. Zelda in general is very huggable; [[Moe|it certainly helps a lot that she's perhaps the cutest incarnation of Zelda to date.]]

** Zelda is very adorable in this game! Heck even ''[[Big Bad|Ghirahim]]'' called her adorable!

* Link's expressions in this game just make him so darn adorable. When {{spoiler|Link listens to the various parts of the Song of the Hero}}, he looks so genuinely peaceful, which he probably hasn't felt much throughout the game. Heck, that childish smile he has when he's picking up those big-eared kittens makes this troper explode from the cuteness.

* This game makes it so you'll do something special for at least one person no matter what you do. For example, Peatrice (the Item Check girl) gets absolutely no business at all...and then Link comes around. The more you go to the Item Check booth (and you will have to go there often to swap out or sell stuff), the happier Peatrice gets, and the more she starts crushing on Link.

* The Love Letter sidequest can end in either Pipit and Karane getting together, which is adorable. Or it can end with the ghostly hand caressing a sleeping Cawlin. It's weirdly cute, but hilarious.

* The Mogmas in general. When they hear about Link trying to save Zelda they'll give him useful items such as Digging Mitts or, in Ledd's case, his own Bomb Bag, to help Link on his journey and/or will give him encouragement and hope that he finds her alright. The Kikwi also do this to a slightly lesser degree.

* When Link frees his Loftwing after it's been kidnapped by Groose. The way it spreads its wings and opens its mouth, as if to say "I'm free!" and the affectionate, gentle way it nuzzles Link are quite heartwarming, especially given their special connection and the fact that they grew up together.

** An adorable callback to that scene: there's a Gratitude Crystal in that place, at night. For this troper, it was the last one. Couldn't stop smiling for a full minute at the accidental [[Book Ends]].

* Groose's lackeys, Cawlin and Strich, don't seem to care that Groose {{spoiler|goes missing from Skyloft and seemingly never returns}}. Cawlin mocks Groose behind his back and Strich is more interested in secretly hoarding insects. But then {{spoiler|they come down to the Sealed Grounds with Gaepora after the credits to see Groose before leaving with him}}. [[They Really Do Love Each Other|Aww they really are friends]].
