My friend came over today and showed me her shiny Hyrule Historia, and we discovered that we each have a different theory about the various Links and Zeldas throughout the series. She thinks they are all reincarnations of the first Link and Zelda in SS. I think they are descendants of them. There is evidence for both, and here are the theories in further detail.
Reincarnation: Whenever evil threatens the world, Link and Zelda will be born again, with no memory of their past lives. This is supported by the fact that all the Links and Zeldas look roughly the same.
Bloodline: All Links and Zeldas have a common ancestor in the SS versions. This doesnt make them related, because the SS couple had two kids. All the Zeldas have their first born as an ancestor, and all the Links are descended from their second, or vice versa. This is supported by the Hero's Shade in TP, we know he is OoT/MM Link, and we can logically assume that TP Link is his great great great grandson or whatever. In the case of the failure timeline...activate paste from other topic!
So vote in the poll and discuss.

That other topic, if you want to look for it, is in the World of Zelda called Link's Gender, and it mainly discusses the possibility or not of a female Link.Dragoncat said:In the case of the failure timeline split where he dies before he can go forth and multiply, I think the very first Link(SS) or heck, even OoT/MM Link himself, chooses the next holder of the triforce piece, and after that it's blood relation again.
