They should include Sheik as a love interest for Link, just to mess with the fanboys who want Link and Zelda together. Make it a Superman/Lois Lane relationship.
Link: Hi Zelda. You're a good friend, so ordinary and dependable. OMG, I SAW SHEIK YESTERDAY! Soooooo handsome. And what a kisser, mmmmmm. Oh no, I have a hangnail. SAVE ME SHEIK! Sheik, what a name, so masculine and condomlike. OFFER ME PROTECTION SHEIK! Oh, Zelda, are you still here? I didn't notice, what with you being so ordinary. You're friends with Sheik right? Go put in a good word for me! What, you're Sheik? Excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess, but I can think of 2 good reasons why that's not true! Yeah, I remember that one time at hallowe'en or something, you dressed up as Sheik, but that was NOTHING compared to the real thing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to ride Epona without a saddle. *rides away* Shiek *bounce* Sheik *bounce* mmmmmmmmm
