In a light-hearted comedy feature for Nintendo Life's "Back Page" column, writer Jim uses the recently revealed Ocarina of Time Switch 2 remake teaser as a springboard to complain, tongue firmly in cheek, that the Zelda series' hero Link has spent 40 years going to bed in absurdly uncomfortable outfits. The piece is entirely a humorous opinion rather than news, prompted by the teaser apparently showing Link asleep in a leather chestplate, and it argues the character deserves a proper pair of pyjamas.

The article works through various games to catalogue Link's sleepwear, noting he typically dozes off in tunics, hats, belts, shoes and leather accessories. Examples cited include A Link to the Past (long-sleeve shirt, tunic, hat, belt and red shoes), the N64 Ocarina of Time (calf-height leather boots), Skyward Sword (a roped brace, snowboots, earrings and later chainmail), and The Minish Cap, which the author rates as having the comfiest bed. Jim excuses instances where Link is knocked unconscious or frozen (such as Breath of the Wild) rather than choosing to sleep, before joking that perhaps Link's everyday garb simply is his pyjamas. Commenters chimed in, with some noting JRPG characters routinely sleep fully clothed and others playing along with the gag.
