Malink (Link x Malon)
Malink is the name readers use for Link and Malon. It is not a Nintendo term. If you searched it and landed on a robotics lab or a company, you are in the wrong “malink.” This page is only the Zelda pairing: where the name came from, how to type the tags, and which sibling page holds stories, pictures, or comics.
Five ways to spell it
| Spelling | Where it shows up | Sources |

| Linmaro / リンマロ | Shipping Wiki’s aliases, and the main Pixiv tag | 2 |

Counts I am willing to print
On 14 Nov 2026 the FanFiction.net pairing filter showed 77 stories. The MaLink Addiction community page showed 75 stories, 76 followers, and 7 staff, and it dates itself to 10 October 2004. I am not averaging 77 and 75. Pixiv’s リンマロ tag showed 35 illustrations or comics plus 13 novels, which is 48 works. Wattpad’s linkxmalon tag showed 11 stories. A Pinterest board had 71 pins. AO3’s Link/Malon tag was on a maintenance screen, so the work count stays empty. Inkitt’s page said it was updated in November 2026 and did not show a count.
Go next to fanfiction, fanart, or comics. The marriage question is still on the evidence page. Adult tags exist on some of these platforms. This site only points at K–T ranges and at filters that hide explicit work. It does not host the stories.

The tag exists. On 14 Nov 2026 the archive was down for maintenance, so this page leaves the count empty.
