Absolutely. I’ll never listen to "For the Dancing and the Dreaming" without tearing up. The film’s epilogue jumps years into the future

Hiccup, being the selfless leader he is, recognized that keeping Toothless by his side would mean keeping him away from his own kind, his own nest, and his own destiny. The Berkians didn’t need a dragon protector anymore—they had become dragon protectors. But the dragons needed their own home, free from human hunters. Let’s be honest: Hiccup and Toothless were deeply codependent. Hiccup literally needed Toothless to walk (his prosthetic fin was designed for Toothless’s tail fin). Toothless needed Hiccup to fly.

Toothless found the Light Fury. He fell in love. He started his own family.

That beautiful, symbiotic relationship worked when they were both young, outcast, and fighting a war. But by the third film, they had grown up. Hiccup becomes chief, marries Astrid, and learns to stand on his own two feet—prosthetic and all. Toothless learns to fly without Hiccup’s manual control (the auto-tail was a genius storytelling device).
