I am obsessed with The Legend of Zelda franchise right now. It’s because I am not-so-patiently waiting for my pre-ordered Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to arrive. I decided to make a new sim family that will follow different incarnations of Link and Zelda through a family legacy so that I can play with these icon characters when I’m torn between playing Zelda and TS4, hahaha.

The way this is going to work is that the first born male or female who resembles Link or Zelda will be named heir or heiress. Then, once the heir/heiress becomes an adult, they must go out and find their partner among the townies. This means that the townie must have the hair and eye colour that matches a version of Zelda or Link from the Legend of Zelda series. They don’t have to have similar facial features because that would be next to impossible!

I might have a few gender-bending generations thrown in for fun where Link is female or Zelda is male. There might even be a few gaps where we skip a Link or Zelda for a generation too, just to shake things up. This is sort of going to be a perfect genetics family legacy challenge either way. I’m going to track how many Links and Zeldas I get through by adding Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.) to their name each time a new Link or Zelda is born into the family.

As for the lifespan setting, that will probably be set to long or might be turned completely off. I just want to really take my time with this family. ❤
