ooo, I hadn't thought of that!

Prolly really upsets him, then, when he has to rely on Red later, lol

Wait- IS THAT WHY HE HITS RED IN THE BOAT SCENE?? Like, they're all at fault for not taking a second to, y'know, think. But he instantly guns for Red out of all of them!

I doubt it was intentional, but does anyone else think the early animosity Blue had towards Red maybe stemmed from Link disliking/wanting to suppress the more childish side of him?

Like, given what little we know about Link before he was split, it’s safe to say he does have a childish side, but he also probably wouldn’t want anyone to point it out. He gives off the vibe of acting mature so people take him seriously (and so his father might let him act independently), but being completely silly when in the right company (namely Zelda).

Maybe he wants people to think of him as a competent adult (whether he is one or not), rather than a child who needs help in battle. So the fact innocence was such a key part of his personality, to the point it manifested in Red, irks Blue (who’d be the only one able to feel that annoyance).

In reality, it probably doesn’t go any deeper than Red and Blue just being comic relief for the most part, but it’s still interesting to think about.
