Daily Debate: Which Incarnation of Link is the Most Musically Gifted?
Posted on May 05 2021 by Alexandria Weber
It is not uncommon for a Zelda game to have a musical component, where Link plays an instrument that causes an important in-game event such as a shift in time, the opening of a door, or the initiation of fast-travel. It’s hard to think of an incarnation of Link that doesn’t interact with a musical instrument of some sort, as even Breath of the Wild Link is good at whistling for his horses.
Aside from the many Links to blow into an ocarina or a flute, there is also Wind Waker Link who commands the winds with a conductor’s baton, Twilight Princess Link who howls the songs taught to him by Hero’s Shade, and Skyward Sword Link who plays the Goddess’ Harp. The question is, of all the Links to show their musical prowess, which one do you think is the most musically inclined?
I think that the most talented incarnation of Link is the one in Majora’s Mask. Not only is he a master of the ocarina, but he also is able to play the Deku pipes, the Goron drums, and the Zora guitar.
What do you think? Which Link is the most musically gifted? Do you play any instruments? Let us know in the comments!
