The Legend of Zelda/Ships

= CiaLink = 

CiaLink is the ship between Cia and Link.

Canon
Deep in the woods there was a sorceress who watched over the balance of the Triforce and is able to see moments through time and space. This allowed her to become star struck with the legendary hero, but learning that he and his past lives were all linked to another woman wounded her heart. Knowing that she could never have him. Being distracted by the green clad hero when she gets attacked by a dark force who pushes the light out of her body, leads to Cia having a desire to claim the hero's soul. Reaping chaos and war upon Hyrule, knowing that it will have Link answer the call. Bringing the hero and the Triforce piece he holds right to her, for when he comes to confront Cia.

Link wasn't aware of Cia or the location she was summoning monsters from the time portals she opened, until he met Lana. Who makes Link believe that Cia was once part of Lana's magic clan to hide the fact they she and Cia were once the same person. Lana also doesn't tell Link of Cia's obsession to make him hers, as she brings the hero and his party to her location in order to save Hyrule. Knowing that she has to be stopped.

Fanon
Cia being obeyed with Link and wanting him to be hers alone, has people view CiaLink as toxic. Since most fanworks of the two are of Cia using her magic, or the lives of those he cares for, to make Link summit to her.

= GaNabooru = 

GaNabooru is the ship between Ganondorf and Nabooru.

Canon
The Gerudo law states that the Gerudo born a male than a female, like the rest of the Gerudo are, is to be made the king of the Gerudo Tribe, giving Nabooru and her fellow tribes women little choice but to accept Ganondorf as her king. Even if she doesn't approve of him or his rule. Nabooru served Ganondorf and was able to climb the ranks to be named his second-in-command, but she doesn't fully except him as her king.

= Ganonforce = 

Ganonforce is the ship between Ganondorf and the Triforce.

Canon
In the series, the goal of antagonist Ganondorf is almost always to complete the Triforce, an divine relic created by the Golden Goddesses that can grant immense power. During his quest to obtain it he gets granted with the Triforce of Power, but that alone wasn't enough for him to be content with. He seeks to hold all three pieces of Power, Wisdom and Courage, he targets Zelda and Link to claim their pieces of the Triforce.

Fanon
"A Simple Request" by the parody comic series Brawl in the Family depicts Ganondorf singing a cover of Mariah Carrey's "All I want for Christmas is You" to the Triforce in comic form, humorously showing him fantasizing various romantic scenarios with the relic in-between him causing havoc throughout Hyrule. Then, in another comic made the following year, Ganondorf indeed receives the Triforce as a Christmas present, much to the chagrin of Zelda.

Ganondorf: “We could work together lover; I take charge while you look good."

An even earlier comic also shows Ganondorf having bought the Triforce from Kirby after the latter finds it in a treasure chest and not knowing what to do with it.

Fandom
= GhiraFi = 

GhiraFi is the ship between Ghirahim and Fi.

Canon
Although Ghirahim and Fi haven't properly met, Fi is aware of him through Link. While Ghirahim simply knows Fi as the sword Link wields. Fi was created after Ghirahim's master was sealed away, as part of a plan to keep it that way while Ghirahim aims to free him. It was later revealed that Ghirahim is a sword spirit like Fi is, and his final form is similar to hers.

Fanon
The ship grabbed people's attention when Ghirahim was revealed to be a sword spirit, like Fi is. Inspiring Zelda fans to create a humanoid form for Fi, that is a bit like Ghirahim's. So they can have Ghirahim and Fi properly meet face to face in their fanworks of them.

= GhiraZant = 

GhiraZant is the ship between Ghirahim and Zant.

Fanon
The idea for this ship came from Hyrule Warriors, with it being a canon universe where the two meet and team up. Zelda fans also feel that Ghirahim and Zant have a similar energy to one another.

= LaLink = 

LaLink is the ship between Lana and Link.

Canon
Like the sorceress Lana was split from when Ganon's spirit took hold of her, Lana has feelings for the green clad hero. Unlike Cia, Lana expects the fact that Link is bonded to Zelda, no matter how much it hurts she soldiers on.

Fanon
LaLink is seen as a healthier version of CiaLink, with Lana being more understanding and excepting when it comes to Link and Zelda's strong iconic bond. Resulting in people feeling sorry to Lana and think that she deserves a chance to be with Link.

= LanaCia = 

LanaCia is the ship between Lana and Cia.

Canon
Before Lana and Cia were split into two separate people, they were a sorceress who is able to see through time and space, while watching over the balance of the Triforce in the woods. When the sorceress was distracted by an image of the legendary hero while seeing past moments through time, Ganon's dark essence takes control of her body in order to free the rest of his soul fragments. The light pushed from the sorceress's heart becomes Lana, while her dark drenched serves as Cia. While Cia opens time portals to build her army, Lana rises up against Cia through the army she built to protect the forest. Before she teams up with Link and his allies. Who are made to think that Lana and Cia were members of the same magic clan, to hide the truth about them. Like Cia and the whole person they once were, Lana has feelings for Link but unlike Cia, she expects the fact that he is bonded to another. Cia is aware of Lana and that she was from her light, making Lana "Cia's Better half."

Fanon
Because the two were originally the same person, before they were split into two separate people, some like to view Lana and Cia as sisters.

= Rosalink = 

Rosalink is the het ship between Link and Rosa.

Canon
Link first encounters Rosa in Holodrum when she is finding her way back to Subrosia. He has to follow her in secret so that he can reach Subrosia as well. During his second visit to Subrosia, Link finds Rosa on the beach lamenting that she has lost her ribbon but he is able to buy her a new one. When he does so, she is thankful and takes him out on a date, using her key to explore the Temple of Seasons with him. Afterwards, Link can go on a date with Rosa again at any time and travel with her throughout Subrosia.

If Oracle of Seasons is played first, then Link can encounter Rosa again in Oracle of Ages while journeying throughout Labrynna. He can first encounter her on Crescent Island and help him get his shovel back from the Tokay. However, she will not follow him because she is on a vacation as an independent woman. Link can also find Rosa at the Goron Dance Hall at Rolling Ridge and will comment that the Subrosian dance is superior.

Fanon
Rosalink has a small amount of popularity within the Zelda fandom. It is usually overshadowed by all other ships such as other ships in the oracles game and especially Zelink. However, some do ship them together because they did go out on a date and can continue to go out on dates in the future if the player desires to do so. There are some fans who like to point out the fact that they felt that Link was only using her for her key although this was never directly stated. Others find their relationship to be amusing because the two are different races and Rosa could even bathe in lava while Link would be hurt.

= Vaalink = 

Vaalink is the slash ship between Link and Vaati from the The Legend of Zelda fandom.

Canon
Link and Vaati have always been enemies. He first encounters him in the Minish Cap where he destroys the Picori Blade, releases monsters into Hyrule and turns Princess Zelda into stone. Link then has to go on a quest to reforge the blade and stop Vaati from finding the Light Force and taking over Hyrule. Throughout the course of his journey, he befriends Vaati's old master Ezlo and learns that the evil sorcerer was once a Minish. Link later manages to defeat Vaati, and he is sealed in the Four Sword.

In Four Swords, a Link from another generation is called to action when Vaati breaks out of the seal and snatches Princess Zelda. The hero is forced to pull the Four Sword and defeat Vaati once again. The sorcerer would not harm Hyrule again for many generations until Four Sword Adventures. The reborn Ganondorf steals the Dark Mirror and uses its power to force Link into pulling the Four Sword which releases Vaati. In the end, the hero is triumphant and Vaati is defeated for good.

Fanon
Vaalink has a small amount of popularity within the Zelda fandom. It is not as popular as the mainstream ships or even some of the other slash ships, most likely due to the fact that the two are enemies. However, it still has its fans.

Some fans theorize that Vaati is the reincarnation of Ghirahim in the same way that Ganondorf is the reincarnation of Demise. In this case, many GhiraLink shippers also ship Vaalink. However, Vaalink still is not nearly as popular as GhiraLink is.
