The '''Hero of Hyrule''' is the main protagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''. | |||
This incarnation of [[Link]] was a humble traveler, who discovered that [[Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)|Ganon]] had conquered [[Hyrule]] with his army of monsters and set out on a quest to liberate it. After collecting the scattered pieces of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]], Link confronted Ganon atop [[Death Mountain]] and ultimately defeated him, killing Ganon and claiming the [[Triforce of Power]] - he then freed [[Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)|Princess Zelda]], and together, they used their respective Triforce pieces to restore Hyrule. Some time later, Link would discover the existence of the [[Triforce of Courage]], and set out on a quest to complete the [[Triforce]] and awaken [[Zelda (The Adventure of Link)|Zelda's ancestor]] from her eternal slumber. Link would prove successful in his quest once again, awakening Zelda from her slumber. | |||

Link | Link is a [[Hylian]] with an unknown past, living as a humble traveler. At the beginning of the game, he is 10 years old - while travelling through [[Lesser Hyrule]], he encounters an old woman being attacked by monsters; Link intervenes, and saves her. The old woman thanks him, explaining she is [[Impa (The Legend of Zelda)|Impa]], the trusted nursemaid of [[Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)|Princess Zelda]]; the evil [[Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)|Ganon]] had invaded the kingdom with an army of monsters, and won due to bearing the [[Triforce of Power]]. Zelda was captured, but she split the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] into eight [[Triforce Shard|Triforce Shards]] and hid them in dungeons around the kingdom to keep it safe. Impa had been sent to find a hero with the courage to oppose Ganon. | ||
Accepting Impa's challenge, Link took up the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]] offered by an [[Old Man]] who warned him of the dangers of going alone, and set off to recover the Triforce fragments and use them to defeat Ganon. | Accepting Impa's challenge, Link took up the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]] offered by an [[Old Man]] who warned him of the dangers of going alone, and set off to recover the Triforce fragments and use them to defeat Ganon. |
