So ocarina of time goes to great lengths to show that the Hero of Time doesn't kill anything that's not a monster. If you shoot a patrolling Gerudo, you knock her out. One of the ones that ambush you even says that he hit her with the flat of his sword. He doesn't (can't?) kill the Skull Kids that attack him as an adult in the Lost Woods. This continues into Majora's Mask when he moves to restrain the Skull Kid rather than attack him even thought he has a sword. And even in Twilight Princess. Even though it's only briefly mentioned in the manga and hyrule historia about how careful The Hero's Shade is with the Hero of Twilight.

ALL I'M SAYING IS: The Hero of Time is actually an incredibly gentle person and Zelda bound Ganon at the end to protect Link from having to kill him a second time.

#i KNOW that's not exactly right BUT STILL. #I've always liked the idea of oot Zelda and oot Link being Tormented Siblings #Zelda taking more of a big sister role who REALLY tried her best and just couldn't hack it. #And Link the Little brother who should resent her but truly doesn't and only wants to repay her protection in kind. #it screams 'JUST LET ME DO THIS FOR YOU' and I l o v e it. #ocarina of time #zelda #link #oot link #time lu #lu time #sheik #loz #zelda and link as siblings (in oot anyway maybe in a link to the past too not in anything else tho) #cause botw link and zelda are obviously happily married.
