Link is the hero and main protagonist of [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]], starting off the game as a young man living in Skyloft, who attends a [[Knight Academy]]. Link is dressed with 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 have large birds called [[Loft Wing|Loft Wings]] that they use for transportation, but Link has a rare red Loft Wing that he befriends early on. Link is very close friends with Zelda and they seem to care greatly for each other. Early on in his quest, Link successfully wins a bird race conducted by the [[Ceremony Leader]] and this allows him to win a prize from Zelda.

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 appears to be knocked out cold by the huge fall. He is awakened by [[Fi]], the spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]], who then sticks with Link throughout his quest, serving as his spiritual guide.  Link also comes across an old man known as Gaepora who is living in Skyloft and is Zelda's father.He entrusts him with his signature green tunic.

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 Tears of Light and avoid guardians without the aid of his sword. He fights many foes along the way, but perhaps none fiercer than the Demon Lord Ghirahim. [[Ghirahim]] is also in search of Zelda and has no problem bringing Link within an inch of his life. It's up to our hero to defeat Ghirahim, rescue Zelda, and save the lands of Skyloft and Hyrule.
