The Top Ten
Link & Zelda

Link has been shipped many times with other characters throughout the Zelda series. But if you think about it, that would just defeat the whole purpose of the game. Then Link would not want to waste his time on Zelda.

In Breath of the Wild, Link literally wakes up from a 100-year slumber and does not remember anything! If it weren't for Link saving Hyrule, then Hyrule would just turn to ashes. Once you defeat Ganon, Zelda is saved, and so is Hyrule - a happily ever after.

Let's say he fell in love with another character in the game - now, do you think he would save Hyrule? And even if he did, I'm pretty sure Zelda would be devastated. What a crappy game that would be! For those of you thinking, No, Link should 100% be with so-and-so, I respect you. This is just my personal opinion.

Nintendo did a great job of offering a bunch of different choices for who Link could be with. But Zelda - well, she literally is in the title of all the Zelda franchise names, and they clearly love each other. So I guess it's safe to say that Link and Zelda should be together.

Mario & Toadstool

I really don't see a problem with this couple. Even though everyone went crazy with that ridiculous Bowsette trend, I still strongly believe Mario should be with Peach. I know she rejected him, but since when is proposing just shoving a flower in someone's face? Besides, they don't need to show much affection since, well, it is a kids' game. My final thoughts are that Mario should be with Peach, and no one else. Bowsette is fake, Rosalina is over 100 years old, and... Don't even get me started on Daisy.

This is kind of like a fairy tale. The prince searches for the princess and then marries her.

Luigi & Daisy
Robin & Chrom

Funny thing about this pairing: even when your avatar (Robin, unless you changed the name) is male (leaving Chrom to marry one of the four other eligible bachelorettes so Lucina can be born), Chrom still has more chemistry with him than anyone else.

If nothing else, just think of what it adds to the story when these two end up as lovers/spouses and how it affects their respective kids.

"Lucina's Judgment" is just so much more poignant when a female Robin is her mom (well, also when a male Robin is her boyfriend, but that pairing's not listed).

Shulk & Fiora
Ike & Soren

Same commenter from earlier. I realized I'd accidentally left out some words. What I meant was: If you create a same-sex pair, and someone says they're "generally a het fan and ship several other het pairs even within the same game" yet still loves and can really see that same-sex pair, you've obviously done something right.

Wario & Mona
Marth & Shiida

I know it's more customary to pair Marth with whatever other character in "Smash Bros.," but I always kept him with Shiida (or Caeda, depending on the translation) as per his actual game of origin. It's a shame such a beautiful pairing is so overlooked, if not outright hated, just for the sake of inane "crack pairings."

They did marry at the end of New Mystery of the Emblem (the third game in the series and the second game they appeared in), and given Awakening, they had at least one child together.

Samus & Captain Falcon

This is the only Smash Bros. pairing involving two characters who otherwise don't coexist that I can get behind.

Fox McCloud & Krystal

I searched for images of this couple on the Internet and found them in a gondola with Mikey the Ninja Turtle as the gondolier belting out "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." It was amazing.

Fox and Krystal are my favorite characters in Star Fox, and they are a great couple that I love.

They look really cute together in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!

The Newcomers

? Reese & Cyrus

Interesting fact: Alpacas can literally die of loneliness. Nintendo had the right idea bringing in two at once.

They're the pink and blue alpaca couple that run the resale store in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

? Toon Link & Rosalina

This should be number 1! Play Smash Bros to see what I mean.

Totally agree with this. They are so cute.

The Contenders
Roy & Lilina
Yoshi & Birdo Yoshi, once romanized as Yossy, is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur who appears in video games published by Nintendo. Often appearing as a sidekick and helper to Mario, Yoshi is most known for his appearances in the Yoshi's Island and the Super Mario franchises.

Yoshi and Birdo are the sweetest! Yoshi accepts Birdo for who she is, and Birdo went from being a baddie to joining the good guys. I like to think it was because of him.

Pit & Palutena

I love these two! I can only hope that they end up together when Pit matures physically.

Ness & Paula
Diddy Kong & Tiny Kong

Ehh... I mainly prefer Diddy and Dixie, since Tiny Kong is confusing due to her aging.

Mario & Pauline

That's probably true, Game Theory fan, but it's the original couple, so...

Kafei & Anju (Majora's Mask)
Nana & Popo (Ice Climber)
Diddy Kong & Dixie Kong

Diddy and Dixie are so cute together. They go on so many missions together and have played in all sorts of sports and mini-games as a duo. Dixie Kong has even once saved Diddy (and Donkey Kong) from a villain.

They share so much in common. It's like they were made for each other. (Well, it's not like they're Pink Gold Peach and Metal Mario.) Diddy and Dixie Kong have so much in common they will never get sick of each other.

Kirby & Jigglypuff

When I'm playing Kirby in Smash Bros., and I set it to random, if one of the opponents is Jigglypuff, I start having these weird daydreams that I can't shake. This should be number one!

Two adorable pink balls of joy! What's not to love!?

Little Mac & Samus
Kirby & Ribbon
Pit & Samus
Link & Midna

These two went through thick and thin together! In the end, I feel like Midna and Link really had something going on.

Remember what happened after the credits of Twilight Princess? Yeah, Link's face was the face of heartbreak. Don't try denying it either.

Luigi & Birdo
