Miphvalink is the poly ship between Link, Zelda and Revali from The Legend of Zelda fandom.
Canon[]
Breath of the Wild[]
Mipha first met a four-year-old Link and saw his wounds from his duels with adults that he won and ended up healing them, which amazes Link. A couple years later, she meets with Link again, who now owns the Master Sword but has since then become silent and stoic and when asked what was wrong, Link doesn't verbally answer. Later, after Mipha accepts Princess Zelda's proposition, Link came to visit and Mipha explains the Lynel was threatening her people and they end up getting into a duel with the monster, which is that moment that Mipha starts to fall hopelessly in love with him.
Link, Mipha, and Revali meet up at the Champions' inauguration ceremony where they received their blue Champions' cloths. They eventually take a break at the gazebo where Link is interacting with Daruk as Revali takes interest in Princess Zelda's Sheikah Slate and examines it before he passes it to Mipha, who then makes a request to Zelda. Purah then assists with the photo shoot and gets everyone settled together, before she snaps the photo, only for Daruk to pull everyone in at the last second. Mipha cherishes that moment but becomes worried that Link's new position as Zelda's knight would eventually have them fall in love. They then attend Link's knight ceremony, but none of them are happy about it due to Zelda's abysmal speech. Revali argues with Daruk prompting Mipha to narrow her eyes at him, which goes unnoticed until Urbosa quiets them down.
Link meets with Revali at Rito Village as Zelda is on official business with the elder. Revali tries to engage in a normal conversation, showed off his gale to him while boasting about his skills, and tried to provoke him into challenging him, but ultimately failed to get any sort of reaction out of him. This flusters Revali to an extent at how he was wasting so much time with a stone-cold person and flies off to Medoh to find solace there.
Mipha managed to finish the Zora Armor for Link and plans on giving it to him but has second thoughts about going with it and when she learns that Link is headed to Zora's Domain without Zelda, she decides to invite him to Divine Beast Vah Ruta to try to make her feelings for him clear. Link and Mipha hang out at the tip of Vah Ruta's trunk where she is tending to Link's wound and recalls that he was such a reckless child who often gets hurt and even then, she heals his wounds as she is currently doing and notes that due to Link being a Hylian, he grew up faster than she and her kin do, and moves on about the topic about Calamity Ganon and promises that no matter how grave his wounds are, she will heal them and hopes that once the Calamity is over, they can spend more time with each other.
Mipha and Revali join Daruk and Urbosa to meet with Link and Zelda at Mt. Lanayru. Revali already could tell that it did not go well for her, which she confirms. As Urbosa states that anything could spark her dormant power, Mipha was about to pass advice to her when Calamity Ganon returned and the Champions rush to their Divine Beasts, but they lose their lives as a critically injured Link is brought to the Shrine of Resurrection and Zelda, with her power, seals Calamity Ganon. Once Link is revived, he sets off to free the Divine Beasts and with Vah Ruta, he destroys Waterblight Ganon which allowed Mipha's spirit to take back control and take aim and with Vah Medoh, he destroys Windblight Ganon to allow Revali's soul to take control and set sights at Hyrule Castle along with the rest of the Champions' Divine Beasts. Once Calamity Ganon breaks free, the Champions open fire to weaken it.
Age of Calamity[]
Link, Zelda, and Impa set off to recruit the Champions and they meet with Mipha, who is happy to see Link again and meets Terrako as well, calling it cute. They learn that monsters are attacking, and Sidon is missing, so they waste no time in searching for him, eventually finding him on Ploymus Rock where a Lynel was threatening the young Sidon and they managed to fend it off before it could kill the young Zora prince. Mipha reunites with him before she finds enemy reinforcements and Mipha boards Vah Ruta to destroy them. Mipha is then permitted by her father to proceed with her destiny on the condition that she returned safely. Link and Impa head to Rito Village where they are attacked by Rito soldiers commanded by Revali, and the two of them nearly killed each other before Zelda puts an end to it. Revali explains that his village repeatedly went under attack by monsters led by a guardian similar to Terrako. He accepts his call but is distrusting of Link.
Fanon[]
This is a rareship among the fanbase with only five works in Archive of Our Own, but it has gotten some level of notability among them. There were tales where Link and Revali would often get at each other's throats while Mipha tries to keep the peace and break up the fights and some stories have them fight for Mipha's affections. Mipha is clearly affectionate towards Link while it is debatable if Link felt the same way, Revali has a strong rivalry with Link that can sometimes cause various issues, but he is willing to cooperate with him when things get very serious enough to which they have to put aside their differences. Mipha and Revali are usually comrades and don't have too many interactions, though they do get along very well in Age of Calamity and are never seen having problems with each other.
