So, the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has a side quest centring on Peatrice, a young woman who runs an item storage counter. She's initially cold and sarcastic to Link, but warms up to him over the course of the game, and eventually asks him out. Link's options are to accept, in which case Peatrice is flirty for the rest of the game, or to brutally decline, in which case she goes back to treating him coldly.
Women in Zelda games are often attracted to Link in a typical, wish fulfilment sort of way. Maidens flirt with him. Great fairies ara ara~ him. By the end of Ocarina of Time, Link practically has a harem of beautiful, young, wives-to-be. He's a real man, after all.
On the flipside, you have the trope of "ugly character relentlessly pursues attractive protagonist". Zelda games are normally self-aware enough to avoid getting mean-spirited, but it sometimes gets close when gay-coded men and old women comment on Link's handsome appearance.
Peatrice's framing is interesting because it falls somewhere in the middle. Her facial features are goofy in a way that most Zelda NPCs are, but she hasn't been designed as cartoonishly ugly. Her personality too, although annoying to some players, feels like a plausible take on how a teenager with a crush might act. She's "normal", basically, neither a fetishized object nor the butt of the joke.
At least, I think that's how she's supposed to be read? Searching online returns divided opinions on what players thought of Peatrice, and divided results on whether players accepted her dating proposal.
It's possible that the developers set out to make an "ugly romantic" trope and then dialled it back when they realised that would be too mean, but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they deliberately wrote a side quest about Link having a "regular" romance, not tied to fated princesses or anime waifu wish fulfilment. That's pretty refreshing.
