This certainly hasn't been proven yet, but I just figured that the Hero's reputation precedes himself as is the case with many fictional heroes. And the Demon King loves him on the basis of reputation and fame (kind of like how a teenage girl might love Justin Bieber without ever meeting him
).
It doesn't make for a great romance in and of itself, of course, but I don't think it rules one out either.

The Hero is getting
way too much flak for how he handled the Demon King's advances in this episode.
The guy went into the Castle fully expecting to have an epic struggle with someone like Zelda's Ganon, and instead he was confronted by a female Demon King trying to seduce him. It's only natural that would give him a
bad case of mood whiplash, and that he'd be a bit clumsy in psychologically "shifting gears" here
