At the Festival, after winning the first prize in a lottery, Zelda chooses a shield and gives it to Link. This soon comes to use when Link protects Zelda from a Business Scrub.
However, at the award ceremony, the winner Vaati breaks open the ceremonial chest with the legendary Picori Blade stuck in it in search for the legendary Light Force.
Angered when it turns out that the chest contained nothing but monsters, Vaati casts a spell on Zelda. Link tries to block it but is pushed away, and Zelda turns into stone. And thus Link's quest to save Zelda and defeat Vaati begins. The Minish Wood is where the legendary Picori are said to reside. On the way, he encounters the strange talking cap Ezlo. After saving the cap from some Octoroks, Ezlo declares that the two can help each other and jump up on Link's head.
And thus, with his trademark cap on his head although a living one Link's quest starts for real. With Ezlo's help, Link can switch from normal size to Picori size. The two venture out to reforge the broken Picori Blade and infuse it with the four elements.
At last, he saves Princess Zelda. However, Vaati has absorbed a good deal of the legendary Light Force that was residing in none other than Zelda, and transforms into the Wind Mage Vaati. Link manages to seal Vaati away. It so happens that the cap Vaati was wearing was Ezlo's invention, a cap able to grant wishes.
The cap is purified by Zelda and she uses it to purify the lands of Hyrule. Ezlo, who was cursed by Vaati, returned into what he really was This year was special, as the door between the Picori and the big world was opened. But the door would soon close, and Ezlo must hurry if he wants to return to his people. However, before he left he created a parting gift for Link, a green cap. After remarking that it looked good on Link, Ezlo left. Link is the hero and primary protagonist of Twilight Princess , where he is a ripe seventeen-year-old boy.
He buys a slingshot and shows it off to the kids when a Monkey comes and Malo , Talo , and Beth run after the monkey. Talo keeps running after the monkey, while Malo and Beth get left behind. Link has to find Talo and the monkey. After he saves Talo and the monkey he returns to Ordon Village. The next day he prepares to go off for Hyrule Castle to deliver a gift, but Ilia notices a cut on his horse, Epona , and yells at him.
Link must then go to Ordon Spring in order to retrieve his horse. After taking a secret passageway to get past the locked gate, Link reunites with Epona. But then the gate bursts open and a Bulblin knocks Link unconscious. Their leader then kidnaps Ilia and Colin and blows his horn, causing a portal to open. Link then wakes up and notices the children gone.
Frantically, he runs after them, only to run into a huge black wall preventing him from proceeding. A monster pulls him through the wall into Faron Province , which is now covered in Twilight. This causes him to transform into a sacred wolf. He meets up with Midna in the Twilight Realm who becomes his partner for this game. Link meets Zelda and eventually returns to the light.
Throughout the game, Link has to return the Tears of Light to the Light Spirits , and go through three dungeons to get three Fused Shadows. As Link progresses through Hyrule, he learns more about Midna , the Twili , and Zant and how all of the three are associated with one another. After collecting the Fused Shadows, Midna meets a terrible fate and Link becomes cursed to permanently roam as a wolf.
He helps Midna visit Princess Zelda , who entrusts him to save the Kingdom of Hyrule from the tyranny of Zant, and tells Link a way to transform back into a human. He acquires the Master Sword , removing his curse, and travels to the Gerudo Desert to seek the Mirror of Twilight , which he finds has been broken by Zant.
He then has to repair the Mirror of Twilight that was broken into four pieces. Once he does so, he has access to the Palace of Twilight.
He goes there to defeat Zant and save Hyrule Castle from the Twilight. He eventually goes on to confront his old nemesis, Ganondorf and defeats him, bringing peace to Hyrule. In the end credits, he is seen riding away on his horse, leaving the Faron Woods to an unknown location, also leaving the Master Sword back in its pedestal.
His role in Twilight Princess ranges from many things, but he ultimately strives to help Midna in reclaiming her power and helping her people. This is the same exact Link from The Wind Waker.
While Link, Tetra, and her gang of pirates journey through the ocean searching for new lands, a Ghost Ship appears, taking Tetra. Link, determined to save Tetra, tries to rescue her, but he falls into the water. Link is washed up on an island called Mercay Island where he meets Oshus and a fairy named Ciela who has lost her memory and becomes Link's partner for this game.
To find the Ghost Ship and rescue Tetra, Link must travel the seas on a steamboat captained by Linebeck. Link must eventually confront Bellum. Spirit Tracks takes place about a century from where Phantom Hourglass left off. He lives in Aboda Village with Niko , and is first seen half-asleep as Niko relates the story of the war between the Spirits and Malladus.
Alfonzo , Link's mentor, then appears and makes Link get ready to receive his certificate. After taking a train up to Castle Town , there is a graduation ceremony in the castle where Princess Zelda grants Link his certificate. However, she also hands him a letter that asks him to visit her later on.
Upon arriving to meet with Princess Zelda, Link learns that the Spirit Tracks are mysteriously disappearing. While traveling on a train themselves, the tracks disappear beneath them as Byrne and Chancellor Cole appear. Cole takes Zelda's body while Zelda becomes a spirit, even though Link tries to protect her. Link will then partner up with the spirit of Princess Zelda, who can also take control of a Phantom, as they journey across the land.
With the help of the Spirit Flute and the Lokomos , Link travels to the five temples to restore the Spirit Tracks, rescue Zelda's body, and seal away the Demon King once again. Link is the hero and primary protagonist of Skyward Sword , starting off the game as a young, seventeen and a half years old [3] man living in Skyloft. Link is dressed in boots, green pants and a sweatshirt, not unlike the rest of the citizens of Skyloft.
He is a very active young lad who goes skydiving and bird riding to impress Zelda and his other classmates. Each of the citizens of Skyloft has a large bird called Loftwing that they use for transportation, but Link has a rare red breed called a Crimson Loftwing.
Link is very close friends with Zelda and they seem to care greatly for each other. Early on in his quest, Link successfully wins the Wing Ceremony conducted by Instructor Horwell and this allows him to win a place in the Knight Academy. It also gives him a place in the Ceremony of the Goddess , where Zelda gives him a Sailcloth as part of the ritual.
While Link and Zelda are riding off through the clouds, a sudden tornado is summoned, causing Zelda to fall off her bird and get sucked down into the land below. Link goes after Zelda, but is blown back by the air pressure and knocked unconscious, saved only by his Loftwing bringing him home.
He is awakened by Gaepora , where Link tells him of the unfortunate news about Zelda. After Gaepora leaves, Link is confronted by Fi , the spirit of the Goddess Sword , who then accompanies Link throughout his quest, serving as his spiritual guide.
Gaepora finds the two together Inside the Statue of the Goddess and they begin to discuss of the war between the Goddess and the Demon King. Afterwards, Link is entrusted with a green Knight uniform and he heads off. Link travels down to the land below in search of Zelda. Throughout his quest, he uses a standard set of inventory items that he upgrades along the way as he battles through the overworld and dungeons, attempting to save Hyrule from the evil that lurks there.
Part of his quest takes him to the Silent Realm , where he must collect Sacred Tears and avoid Guardians without the aid of his sword or other items. He fights many foes along the way, but perhaps the Demon Lord Ghirahim is one of the most powerful.
Ghirahim is also in search of Zelda and has no problem bringing Link within an inch of his life. He wants to resurrect his master, Demise, his ultimate foe. He ends up traveling all throughout Hyrule, learning more about the history of both Hyrule and Skyloft, and seeking to reforge the Goddess Sword into the famous Master Sword along his journey.
Link is the hero and primary protagonist of A Link Between Worlds. He is close with the Blacksmith , however, and Link originally works for him before setting out on his quest.
Close to the beginning of Link's adventure, Link heads to the Sanctuary to deliver a sword to the Captain. Here, Link meets the primary antagonist of the game, Yuga , who proceeds to turn both the Captain and the Sage Seres into paintings. After attempting to attack Yuga, Link later wakes up in his house after blacking out. Here, Link meets Ravio , who found him lying in the Sanctuary and brought him to the empty house. Ravio also gives Link a bracelet , which will allow him to become a painting after the events of the Eastern Palace.
Distressed by the events in the Sanctuary, Ravio tells Link to visit Princess Zelda at the castle to inform her of what happened. When speaking with Sahasrahla, the elder realizes that he sent the Sage Osfala to the Eastern Palace, where he is under threat of attack from Yuga. Osfala shoves him off however, [18] forcing Link to complete the Palace and watch the Sage be transformed into a painting by Yuga. Link is soon transformed into a painting much like the Captain; however, Ravio's Bracelet saves Link and allows him to escape the wall and transform into a painting whenever he chooses to.
After leaving the Palace, Sahasrahla catches up with Link. The two soon hear a large earthquake centered at Hyrule Castle [20] , which they find surrounded by a large magical barrier.
Yuga then uses the paintings of all seven Sages to bring forth Ganon [29] , whose power Yuga absorbs to become Yuga Ganon. Before Yuga can kill Link, Hilda , the princess of Lorule, steps in and traps the beast.
Link soon wakes up in the familiar Blacksmith's House, however it is filled with Lorule residents that are unfamiliar to Link. After making his way back to Lorule Castle, Hilda removes the barrier surrounding the castle [35] , allowing Link to ascend it. Link soon finds Hilda at the top of the castle, where she takes Princess Zelda's Triforce of Wisdom and reveals her partnership with Yuga to take Hyrule 's Triforce for their own.
Aware of how many people look up to him, Link understand that it is his responsibility to set a good example at all times. However, as a result, he has become unable to express himself openly, remaining silent and expressionless.
He is honest, serious, and sometimes overly committed to his duties. After becoming Zelda 's appointed knight, he accompanies her everywhere as she prepares herself for Calamity Ganon 's return, even though she often asks him not to. Initially, she was wary of Link because he seemed inscrutable, but she came to trust him after he saved her from an attack by the Yiga Clan.
While the century-long Slumber of Restoration heals Link's wounds, it also robs him of his memories. Link was pretty much emotionless as the chosen knight years ago, but he awakes to a time where he is relatively unknown. Only a few people who were around then are still alive.
Freed from the attention and expectations of the people and without any memory of the past, this era's Link is more expressive and lighthearted than the stoic knight he was before. Link, also known as the Hero of Hyrule, is the primary protagonist in Breath of the Wild.
One hundred years prior to the game's current events, Link was chosen by the Master Sword to become wielder of the sacred blade and the one who would defeat Calamity Ganon. At the same time, Link was made Princess Zelda's appointed knight, and most of Link's memories entail his journeys during this time as Princess Zelda's protector. Link's skill as a knight came with ease, something that Princess Zelda was continually jealous of and angry about when looking at her own continued failures to discover the Goddess Hylia's power that rested within.
At first, their relationship was tense, and Zelda assured Link that she did not need his protection. However, as Link continued to fearlessly protect her and with Calamity Ganon 's imminent return, she began to open up to him and discovered that the two were not so different.
Upon Calamity Ganon's return, events rapidly took a turn to disaster as Ganon used its powers to take over Hyrule Castle , and to corrupt both the Guardians and the Divine Beasts.
With nowhere left to run, Link and Zelda were left to fight on their own and survive in a world they could no longer combat. In an open field outside Hyrule, Link bravely stood against a Guardian with his last breath, continuing to defend Zelda and fulfill his role.
While at this moment Zelda unlocked her true power after instead defending Link, the hero collapsed to the ground and died in Zelda's arms. However, when all hope was lost, the Master Sword began to glow with a blue aura and a voice from within the sword spoke to Princess Zelda.
The voice was Fi , who was still present within the blade after the events of Skyward Sword. Fi told Zelda that Link could still be saved if taken to the Shrine of Resurrection , where after a slumber he would eventually be revived, ready to face Calamity Ganon once more.
After one hundred years had passed, Link was awoken by Princess Zelda's voice. It is here that the game and Link's journey begins, as he attempts to regain his memories, strength, and the ability to defeat Calamity Ganon before he breaks free to destroy the world.
Link is shown to be an extremely capable swordsman before Calamity Ganon's return, managing to earn the respect of the Master Sword, as well as taking down some of Ganon's strongest enemies singlehandedly.
After regaining his memories and with the help of ancient Sheikah technology, such as the Sheikah Slate , Link recovers his former abilities and reclaims the Master Sword once again. Throughout Breath of the Wild, Link often has an uneasy relationship with many of the characters.
Some, such as the Zora , blame Link for the death of the Champions and Hyrule's demise. Others, such as Revali and other Champions, never believed in Link's ability, and did not see him as the hero that would save Hyrule.
After Link freed each of the Divine Beasts and their respective Champions' spirits, they changed their mind and stood behind Link when he eventually faced Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle. Princess Zelda's Diary is the first text in the series to give an explanation for Link's persistent silence. The diary states that with so many people watching him, and with so much at stake, Link feels it necessary to stay strong and silently bear any burden.
This, in turn, causes him to stop expressing his thoughts and feelings, and rather, work to fulfill the duty he was chosen for. Born to a line of imperial guards, he is renowned for his fighting skills and courage. Training Sword Breath of the Wild save data bonus.

Link is pulled into the conflict between the island inhabitants and Ganondorf's increasing presence as he, with the help of the Wind Waker , races to recapture the ancient power of the Triforce and the Master Sword before Ganondorf's true power is realized.
Eventually, the King of Red Lions sees fit to grant Link the title Hero of Winds in honor of his ongoing struggle with the forces of evil.
The King of Hyrule's wish with the Triforce was to give Link and Princess Zelda a future, and at the end of the game they set out to find a new land to be the next kingdom after Hyrule. Concerned that the seal which keeps Vaati in the Four Sword may be weakening, Zelda and the rest of the Seven Maidens summon Link and open the way to the shrine of the Four Sword to investigate. However, Zelda and the other maidens are captured and imprisoned by Shadow Link. Despite the fact that it will release Vaati, Link is forced to draw the Four Sword from its pedestal in order to split himself into four and have the strength to go and rescue the maidens.
The Links save all seven of them and collect the four Royal Jewels, which they use to reveal the Tower of Winds. When he followed Shadow Link down to the Four Sword Sanctuary , he pulled the Four Sword splitting him into four like in the original Four Swords, but when he pulled the sword Vaati was released from the seal once again.
After the Links saved Zelda and the maidens, got the four Royal Jewels from different heroes of Hyrule, and defeated Vaati, Zelda and the Links fought against the dark lord Ganon and, with the help of the Seven Maidens, seal him within the Four Sword and restored peace to Hyrule. The sword is then returned to its sanctuary and sealed there, and the Links are combined into one again. This incarnation of Link is given the title " Hero of Light ," due to the hero's courage and being the only one who can free Hyrule from darkness.
Link is the grandson of Smith , the blacksmith of Hyrule Town. In Twilight Princess , Link is a youth who has been raised as a wrangler outside of Hyrule territory in Ordon Village. He is fascinated by swordsmanship and horse riding. Before Link can go on this journey, his village is attacked by King Bulblin and his band of Bulblins , who carry off the village children. Pursuing them, Link encounters a wall of Twilight blocking the way.
A Shadow Beast pulls him beyond the wall into the Twilight, where he is transformed into a wolf and imprisoned in Hyrule Castle's dungeon. Link is soon freed by an imp-like Twili being named Midna. She agrees to help him if he obeys her unconditionally. She guides him to Princess Zelda in the castle tower. Zelda explains that Zant , the King of Twilight, has stolen the light from three of the four Spirits of Light and conquered Hyrule.
In order to save the kingdom, Link must first restore the Light Spirits by entering the Twilight-covered areas and, as a wolf, recover the Spirits' lost light. During this time, Link also helps Midna locate the fragments of the Fused Shadow , relics containing powerful dark magic. In return, she helps Link find Ordon Village's kidnapped children.
After he relieves Midna of the Fused Shadow fragments, she ridicules him for abusing his tribe's magic, but Zant responds that his power comes from another source as he uses it to turn Link back into a wolf. He then leaves Midna to die from the world's light forced upon her, prompting Link to bring her to Zelda to help her.
Link learns that he needs the Master Sword to return to human form. Zelda sacrifices herself to heal Midna with her power before vanishing mysteriously. Moved by her sacrifice, Midna agrees to help Link find the Master Sword. After finding the legendary blade, Link is cleansed of the magic that kept him in wolf form, transforming it into the Shadow Crystal.
Using this crystal, Link is able to switch between both forms at will. However, they discover that the mirror is shattered.
The ghostly Sages there explain that Zant tried to destroy it, but he was only able to shatter it into fragments; only the true ruler of the Twili can completely destroy the Mirror of Twilight. They also reveal that they used it a century ago to banish Ganondorf, the Gerudo leader who attempted to steal the Triforce, to the Twilight Realm when executing him failed. Assisted by an underground group called The Resistance , they meet in Castle Town, Link and Midna set out to retrieve the missing shards of the mirror, defeating those they infected.
Once the portal is restored, Midna is revealed to be the true ruler of the Twilight Realm, usurped by Zant when he cursed her into her current form. Confronting Zant, Link and Midna learn that Zant's coup was made possible when he forged a pact with Ganondorf, who asked for Zant's assistance in conquering Hyrule.
After Link defeats Zant, Midna recovers the Fused Shadows, but destroys Zant after learning that only Ganondorf's death can release her from her curse. Ganondorf fights Link by possessing Zelda's body and eventually by transforming into a beast, but Link defeats him and Midna is able to resurrect Zelda. Ganondorf then revives, and Midna teleports Link and Zelda outside the castle so she can hold him off with the Fused Shadow. However, as Hyrule Castle collapses, it is revealed that Ganondorf was victorious as he crushes Midna's helmet.
Ganondorf engages Link on horseback, and, assisted by Zelda and the Light Spirits, Link eventually knocks Ganondorf off his horse and they duel on foot before Link strikes down Ganondorf and plunges the Master Sword into his chest.
With Ganondorf dead, the Light Spirits not only bring Midna back to life, but restore her to her true form. After bidding farewell to Link and Zelda, Midna returns home before destroying the Mirror of Twilight with a tear to maintain balance between Hyrule and the Twilight Realm. This incarnation of Link is given the title " Hero of Twilight. Link appears yet again in his youngest form in Phantom Hourglass.
Link is a child sailing with Tetra and her crew in search of the Ghost Ship. When they find it, Tetra jumps aboard but is kidnapped, so Link goes after her but instead falls into the sea.
At the end of the game, Oshus returns Link, Tetra, and Linebeck to their world, thanking them for their help. He is an apprentice of a master engineer, named Alfonzo , who has helped him in order to become a Royal Engineer. When Zelda presents Link with a certificate for this achievement, [] she also gives him a letter, telling him to meet with her, to discuss her suspicions over the mysterious Chancellor Cole as well as the disappearing Spirit Tracks.
When Link sneaks Zelda out of the Castle , they meet up with Alfonzo, who escorts them to the Tower of Spirits by train. However, as the Spirit Tracks begin to fade, they crash, and are then ambushed by the chancellor, who attacks the trio. Link and his master are knocked unconscious while Zelda's spirit is separated from her body, which is seized by Cole's apprentice, Byrne.
Link awakes back in Hyrule Castle to discover that Zelda is now a ghost and that Link is the only person who can see her. After visiting Anjean in the Tower of Spirits, he agrees to help her in defeating Chancellor Cole and recover her body in the process. After this, Link and Zelda begin their journey to restore the Tower of Spirits and the Spirit Tracks, traveling across the overworld using the Spirit Train that is granted to Link by Anjean.
As the pair continues to travel, Link and Zelda establish a close friendship as the two get to know each other better. Once Princess Zelda recovers her body from Malladus with the aid of Link, the two together face up against the Demon King, who has now taken over Chancellor Cole's body.
Together, Link and Zelda deal the final blow on Malladus using the Lokomo Sword , and shortly after, Anjean and the rest of the Lokomos depart towards the heavens. As they leave, Anjean entrusts Princess Zelda to watch over the land, asking Link to help her as well. Unlike other instances where Link departs from the land after having saved it, the young hero stays in Hyrule to fulfill Anjean's request, where he continues to be either an engineer or a warrior, depending on which Link chose.
This is witnessed when Princess Zelda gets up from her seat in her office and waves out the window after having heard either a train's whistle or the clanking of swords. In Skyward Sword , Link has lived his entire life on the floating island of Skyloft , situated above the clouds. He is childhood friends with Zelda , and they attend the Knight Academy together, where he is often bullied by rival student Groose. After the ceremony, Link and Zelda go for a flight together on their Loftwings , when Zelda and her Loftwing are pulled below the clouds during a sudden and unusual storm.
That night, Link is visited by Fi , a being sent by the goddess Hylia in order to help him search for Zelda on the Surface. Fi leads Link to the Goddess Sword , and the following day, he ventures to the Surface. This woman assures Link that Zelda is safe and has embarked on a quest of her own, and that he needs to continue to track her. While searching for Zelda, Link discovers that Zelda is also being followed by two other people: Impa , a servant of Hylia sent to protect Zelda on her quest; and Ghirahim , a self-proclaimed demon lord who claims responsibility for the storm that dragged Zelda to the Surface.
Eventually, Link finally catches up to Zelda with Impa at the ancient Temple of Time , but their reunion is cut short when Ghirahim finds and attacks the duo. He then holds off Ghirahim in order for Zelda and Impa to escape through the Gate of Time , which Impa destroys as soon as she and Zelda are through. Back at the Sealed Temple, the old woman shows Link a similar portal that leads to the same place as the portal at the Temple of Time, and explains that Link needs to strengthen the Goddess Sword in order to use the portal.
In order to strengthen the sword, Link must temper it in the Sacred Flames hidden in various places on the Surface. Before he can set out on his new quest, however, a giant beast known as The Imprisoned , which was sealed in a pit outside the temple, breaks its seal and begins to climb toward the temple. With great effort, Link stops it and reseals it before it can reach the temple, and then sets out in order to find the Sacred Flames.
After passing the three trials of the goddess, [] gaining spiritual growth, [] and transforming the Goddess Sword into the Master Sword , [] Link returns to the portal in the Sealed Temple. Before he can use the portal, the Imprisoned breaks its seal again. Link reseals the creature again with the aid of Groose, who had followed Link to the Surface on his second visit to the Sealed Temple. Link then enters the second Gate of Time and reunites with Zelda, who explains that Link is the goddess's chosen hero, [] before telling him that she, as Hylia's mortal reincarnation, must remain in a deep sleep to keep the demon king Demise , the true form of the Imprisoned, sealed within his prison.
Link sets out to the Sky Keep and obtains the Triforce, using its might to wish for the eradication of Demise. Link then challenges Demise, who is impressed with Link's courage, and thus accepts the challenge. Ultimately, Link defeats Ghirahim and Demise, and seals the remains of the demon king in the Master Sword.
But before being sealed, Demise warns him that his hatred will be reborn as a being to pursue domination of the world, as well as those with the blood of the goddess and spirit of the hero, in a cycle without end. He is about to engage in battle, but Gulley comes into Link's room and wakes him up from his sleep.
In the Blacksmith's Forge , the Captain of the Guard comes to pick up the new sword that the Blacksmith forged for him. But he forgets it as he leaves, and Link is sent to return it to him. Shortly afterward, he encounters Yuga, who has transformed the Captain into a Painting on the Sanctuary 's wall after he tried to defend Seres , the Priest 's daughter. He then traps Seres herself in a Painting. Link crashes into the wall and is knocked unconscious.
After this, Yuga leaves with Seres' Painting in hand. Link eventually wakes up in his house and meets a mysterious person named Ravio. Asking if he can stay in Link's house, Ravio gives him a strange bracelet in exchange. Once Link does this, he is then told to find Osfala , who is in the Eastern Palace, and is a descendant of the Seven Sages. Sahasrahla worries that Yuga may go after him next. Link meets Osfala at the entrance to the Eastern Palace, but Osfala simply laughs off Link's warning about Yuga, telling the young hero that he is just as powerful as the Seven Sages were.
He then leaves to confront Yuga. Link battles Yuga, managing to best him with the help of the Bow he rented from Ravio.
In a fit of rage, Yuga traps Link as a Painting and leaves. However, Link escapes with the help of Ravio's Bracelet and discovers he could now turn himself into a Painting and back at will with the bracelet.
Only then will he be able to wield the Master Sword in order to access the castle. After completing this task, Link obtains the Master Sword and delves into the castle, where he finds Yuga with a Painting of Zelda. Yuga then escapes through a mysterious crack in the wall via his ability to Wall Merge. Link pursues Yuga to the other side, where Yuga has begun the process of reviving the evil Ganon, using the power of the Sages to do so.
Once Ganon is resurrected, Yuga merges with him, becoming even more powerful. Link is saved by Princess Hilda and is told he is in the kingdom of Lorule - a counterpart of his own Hyrule. Link is then given a new task - to rescue and awaken the Seven Sages. Upon awakening all of the Sages, Link is granted the power of the Triforce of Courage.
After Hilda's failed attempt to steal the Triforce from him to save her kingdom, Link faces off against Yuga Ganon and defeats him. Afterwards, Link and Zelda are taken to the Lorulean version of the Sacred Realm , through which they return home to their own Sacred Realm.
There, they find Hyrule's Triforce and wish for the Lorulean Triforce to be restored. After the credits, Link returns the Master Sword to its pedestal. In Tri Force Heroes , Link passes through the kingdom of Hytopia on his travels after certain, undisclosed events. He is the same hero from A Link Between Worlds , and dresses differently to hide his heroic origins. According to a prophecy in the land, these are the traits characteristic of the fabled Tri Force Heroes.
Link learns that the kingdom's princess, Styla , has been cursed by a witch to wear an irremovable, tacky outfit. Her father, King Tuft , has sent an urgent request to kingdoms far and wide looking for heroes who match the description of the Tri Force Heroes, hoping that they can save his daughter and put a stop to the witch.
Link is drafted into the kingdom's Witch-Hunting Brigade, and is paired with two other Links as they venture forth into the Drablands , the witch's domain. The other Links are of unclear origin. He is guided by a mysterious voice to take the Sheikah Slate and embark to the outside world, told that he must "shine upon Hyrule once again.
Outside the Shrine, he finds an Old Man who later informs him that the Calamity Ganon was a source of many evils years ago, until it was sealed in Hyrule Castle, which has been able to contain it for the past century. Link can choose to go to each of the four Ancient Shrines on the Great Plateau and acquire a Rune at each one that will grant him special abilities for the Sheikah Slate.
Link is afflicted by amnesia, as he is unable to remember anyone or anything from prior to his rest in the Shrine of Resurrection. Link's father was also a Knight of Hyrule, [86] though his family was not nobility. Even though he was so young, he was already an exceptional swordsman. Mipha describes him as being curious and full of energy at this age, but also reckless. Apparently, he is something of a glutton, and greatly enjoys a good meal.
It is likely to contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change dramatically as more information becomes available. Link is set to appear in Sequel to Breath of the Wild. He wears a modified Champion's Tunic , and accompanies Princess Zelda underground. A character greatly resembling Link is also seen traversing floating islands in the sky.
Because Link bears the Spirit of the Hero, [90] all of Link's incarnations each possess an unbreakable spirit. He is often depicted as a humble yet brave and courageous boy who steps up to the task of saving the kingdom of Hyrule and many others , [94] [95] a task to which he seems destined. He rarely shows signs of cowardice and is always willing to use his strength and valor to save and help those around him, as seen in The Wind Waker where he asks Tetra and her pirate crew to allow him to go with them on their ship in order to save his sister Aryll.
Link is depicted throughout the series as an impressive swordsman. He usually begins his adventure as an average boy with little to no swordsmanship skills. When trouble arises, however, Link demonstrates a natural aptitude for the ways of the sword and is able to best his enemies easily: in The Wind Waker , Link goes to Orca to learn how to wield a sword in order to help Tetra from the Forest of Fairies.
In some games, Link can learn advanced sword techniques and complicated move-sets: in The Minish Cap , the Blade Brothers teach the young hero various sword skills by using Tiger Scrolls , and in Twilight Princess , the Hero's Spirit shares his knowledge of the sword by teaching Link seven Hidden Skills to help him become more powerful and save Hyrule.
Additionally, Link is portrayed as having an excellent physical condition, performing backflips easily as well as being able to best others in sumo-wrestling, as seen in Twilight Princess. However, despite this, Link is usually defenseless without a sword or an item.
This is depicted in The Wind Waker , where Link loses his sword after being launched into the Forsaken Fortress and must use his stealth abilities to get it back: if he is spotted by an enemy, he quickly surrenders due to his inability to fight back.
Link is also talented in playing a wide variety of instruments. This is first shown in the original The Legend of Zelda , in which the young hero plays the Recorder to open up secret entrances or transport him to various parts in the overworld. Since then, Link has competently played other instruments such as the Ocarina , a pan flute , a guitar , the drums , and a Harp , all of which play a major role in each of the respective games in which they appear.
Not only is Link a proficient instrument player: he is also adept in using a conductor's baton to conduct other players. Link is also featured in other media, including comics and mangas based on the games, animated shows, and the Super Smash Bros.
Unlike the games in the main series, Link has actual dialogue in many of these appearances instead of being a silent hero. Link has also made several cameo appearances in various games and other media. Besides the iterations of Link that appear in the games, the backstory to some of the games feature additional unnamed heroes of Hyrule who have a similar appearance to Link. In Skyward Sword , it mentions that there was another hero a long time ago, who was Hylia 's chosen hero.
It is only known that Her Grace gave the Sailcloth to her chosen hero long ago. In the Minish Legend , the Hero of Men , a hero clad in green clothes but lacking Link's traditional green hat, arose to fight the demons attacking the world.
This Minish Legend is depicted in a series of stained glass windows beneath the Elemental Sanctuary. One of the stained glass windows depicts the Hero of Men receiving the Picori Blade and the Light Force from the Minish , while in the other, it shows the hero confronting the monsters that were attacking Hyrule. The back story of Four Swords describes how prior to the events of the game, Vaati attacked Hyrule kidnapping young girls.
The knights of Hyrule fought bravely against Vaati, but could not defeat him. A lone traveling boy appeared wielding the Four Sword.
The boy's sword split his body into four and they defeated Vaati and sealed him away into the Four Sword. After defeating Vaati, the boy vanished into the forest, leaving behind his sword. According to Hyrule Historia , this hero is known as the Hero of the Four Sword and is not the same hero who appears in The Minish Cap or Four Swords , but is another hero who appears in between the two games.
Hyrule Historia describes him as someone about whom little is known, but he appears to be the descendant of the hero who previously defeated Vaati in The Minish Cap. This version of the Hero is never seen directly, but appears in artistic form on an ancient tapestry design. The artwork depicts him with green eyes, fiery red hair and wearing a light blue Champion's Tunic like the one his successor wears in the distant future.
In Ancient Stone Tablets , a game for the Satellaview , the avatar characters of the BS-X replace Link as the central heroes, who could be male or female depending on the player's settings, and become known as the Hero of Light. Six years after the events of A Link to the Past and during Link's absence, Hyrule's long peace comes to a sudden end as Princess Zelda suffers from reoccurring dreams of evil to come. She and Aginah then witness a flash of light in the forest and upon arriving to investigate, find an unconscious youth and bring them to rest at Sahasrahla's old hideaway.
Zelda senses that the youth may be endowed with the power of courage, and believes that they may be the Hero of Light. The young hero was then given the task to locate several stone tablets and eventually learns that though Link had defeated Ganon previously in the last game, his spirit had lived on through his malice.
Ganon had learned of and coveted the power of the Hero of Light, and had subsequently managed to summon the hero into Hyrule, hoping to obtain the hero's power to be fully reborn. Once Ganon was defeated, the Hero of Light returned the Master Sword they had used to its pedestal and returned to where they had come from in a flash of light.
According to Shigeru Miyamoto , Link's name comes from the fact that, during development of The Legend of Zelda , he was the link between the past and the future, which was the original setting for the game.
According to Eiji Aonuma , Link is named after that fact that he links the player to the game. Zelda Wiki. Zelda Wiki Explore. Main Page All Pages.

In these games, Link is part of the Minish people called the Picori by the Hylians , which are tiny mice-like people that inhabit the grasslands and various aspects of the forest. In his shrunken state, Link is able to dodge raindrops, destroy the body parts of bigger enemies, and can even lift objects that are several times his size.
The most recognizable iteration of Link though, comes from Ocarina of Time , which falls at the base of the fork that splits the Legend of Zelda timeline into three separate lines. After Link removes the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time, he awakens seven years later to find Hyrule in the grip of the evil Ganondorf. There are a series of Legend of Zelda games that take place specifically after the alternate timeline where Link is defeated by Ganondorf, starting with A Link to the Past.
Due to him being in all of these games, he has more than likely defeated the most number of enemies and bosses in comparison to the other versions of Link, and is therefore, arguably, the wisest. Interestingly, these two games mark the only time when a character is reincarnated with the release of a direct sequel. In the two games, Link ends up saving two different versions of Princess Zelda, once when she was kidnapped by Ganon and the second being when she was put into a deep slumber by the magician hired by the Prince of Hyrule who also sets the decree that all women born into the royal family of Hyrule must bear the name Zelda.
