Nintendo said it, so it must be true.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago, on the Nintendo Today! App, the Big N dropped this major bombshell on the world, revealing that the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and the Italian plumber are simply &#8220;good friends&#8221;. We missed the initial post, but thankfully, <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KirPinkFury\/status\/1948141191440286122\" rel=\"nofollow\">KirPinkFury<\/a> has us covered.<\/p>\n<p>So, wait, is this despite the fact Peach has kissed Mario multiple times and baked multiple cakes for him? We know both of these acts are platonic (cheek kissing, baking), but&#8230; okay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Princess Peach and Mario are good friends and help each other out whenever they can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Via: Nintendo Today app. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IsyQqe2KLz\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/IsyQqe2KLz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 K\u0101b\u012b (@KirPinkFury) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KirPinkFury\/status\/1948141191440286122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This all sounds a little familiar, right? Another darling Nintendo couple, Zelda and Link, are frequently under the microscope from fans. Are they in a relationship? Aren&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p>Zelda&#8217;s voice actor, Patricia Summerset, once said &#8220;I know that [Link and Zelda] are in a relationship with each other&#8221; in an interview with <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/patricia-summersett-interview-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TheGamer<\/a> as part of a wider conversation about enjoying the ambiguity of their relationship, before putting out a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Summersett_\/status\/1660696953712197635\" rel=\"nofollow\">statement a few days later saying<\/a> that her words do &#8220;not imply&#8221; that the duo are in love.<\/p>\n<p>Really, though, all of this is up to fan interpretation. If Mario and Peach want some privacy, that&#8217;s great. Nintendo can insist the pair aren&#8217;t a couple \u2014 and maybe that&#8217;s the case.
