Link hated when others touched him. He could tolerate a friendly pat on the back and a small compliment here and there, but whenever someone offered more affection than that, he froze up and wanted to shrink away.
He couldn't tolerate hugs no matter how much he yearned for the touch.
Which drove him absolutely insane.

Summary
"He’s been inside the Great Deku Tree, and now he’s inside Lord Jabu-Jabu; Link supposes he should be grateful he didn’t have to go inside the King Dodongo."
"The acidity bites his nose and Link, on several occasions, very nearly makes it worse when the revulsion overwhelms him and he almost adds his own bile to the mix. The slimy mucous coating everything, the pools of saliva and goodness knows what else, the squishy, rough texture under his boots and then his hands when he has to roll or climb; Link worries he’ll never be able to get himself or his clothes clean after this."
Link is a few sensations short of a panic attack, but somehow he manages to convince himself not to just ditch the princess and retire early in the Lost Woods.
