It's incest because it's King Arthur and Mordred.

Kind...of? If I recall correctly, Mordred is a homunculus clone/son of Artoria (King Arthur) born from Morgan La Fay when she extracted sperm from Artoria when Artoria was temporarily given a male genitalia at one point by Merlin. So Mordred actually has the same body and features of Artoria and is a clone of her, but at the same time is her "son" and she's the "father". She grows up to be the same age (in terms of looks) to Artoria for two reasons: One is because Mordred's existence as a homunculus means she grows up much quicker than normal people, and the second reason is because Excalibur caused Artoria to stop aging physically. The result is that they're physically identical now, which can be seen in the picture. It's incredibly dumb, but that's what's canon.

Seeing LumberingCrane's explanation reminds me of how plain weird Fate can be. It's not a bad weird, though.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but Mordred is pretty obsessed with Arturia in canon so it's not like this pairing is totally crackish, right?

They both hate and kill each other now, but Mordred wanted to be accepted by Arturia in the past. So the pair can make sense in a love / hate kinda way.

To be honest I see it all as sloppy contrivances to answer: "How can we make Fate Mordred an exact lookalike of Artoria while also preserving the (real life) established legend of Mordred being Arthur's son to Morgan La Fay?"
Even though it all makes sense in the end, it's still very obvious that they just came up with something on the fly to make it work with their already preexisting narrative of Artoria. It's just unnecessarily complicated.
@Norainhere
Yes, Mordred is definitely obsessed with her. Her bio in Fate/GO says that you shouldn't praise Artoria in front of her while at the same time don't insult her either. Mordred has the utmost respect for her "dad" but also really hates her for not acknowledging her. Her noble phantasm is Clarent Blood Arthur: Rebellion Against My Beautiful Father for pete's sake.
Fun fact: There's a yuri pairing for Artoria that involves Mordred being the kid in the family. It works because in this pairing the Artoria didn't stop from aging and actually looks her age this time (it's the lancer version of Artoria). https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CtrcEXrUAAAshi3.jpg:large

Beats me. It's not like I bothered to understand the untranslated story of the game when I went through it. All I know is that I see this family often on my twitter feed. It's even part of this Fate/GO family tree: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyRqcgWUUAQXSbL.jpg:large
Edit: Actually nevermind, I just remembered the pairing wasn't borne from a singularity/story chapter. It was from the 'Journey to The West' Event.

Just a clarification: It was Caliburn and, later, Avalon that stopped Arthur's aging, not Excalibur.
