Link ventures to Hyrule Castle and visits the Triforce in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''. While there, he is knocked unconscious and falls into the world of [[Holodrum]]. He is discovered by a dancer named [[Din (Oracle)|Din]] who cares for him until he awakens. He discovers Din with her troupe and talks to everyone, then Din asks him to dance. While dancing, the troupe is attacked by [[Onox]], General of Darkness, who reveals that Din is none other than the Oracle of Seasons and controls the seasons in Holodrum. He causes a tornado that sends the members of the troupe flying and attacks Link while he tries to protect Din. He tries saving her again and ends up blown away and knocked unconscious. Onox imprisons Din and sinks the [[Temple of Seasons]] into the land of [[Subrosia]], throwing the seasons into chaos. [[Impa]], the troupe's cook, wakes him up and explains that she is actually the nursemaid of Princess Zelda and Link is a hero with a special fate. She tells him to go see the [[Maku Tree (Oracle of Seasons)|Maku Tree]] in Horon Village in order to help save Din. A weakened Maku Tree explains that Link must go find the eight Essences of Nature in order to restore him to his former state. Eventually, Link has to find the Temple of Seasons in Subrosia and obtain the [[Rod of Seasons]] which he can use to control the seasons manually in order to save Din. However, he has to visit the spirits of each season to gain their powers. Once equipped with all four seasons and all eight Essences, the Maku Tree gives Link a [[Huge Maku Seed|Maku Seed]], which can be used to get rid of the darkness surrounding Onox's castle. Link fights Onox and defeats him, but it is revealed later that Onox and [[Veran]] were just pawns to [[Twinrova]], who is trying to revive [[Ganon]]. The defeat of Onox lights the Flame of Destruction, and Twinrova kidnaps Zelda to sacrifice her. Link ventures forth into the [[Room of Rites]] and fights Twinrova, defeating her. Twinrova then sacrifices herself and Ganon is revived as a mindless beast, and defeated by Link. Afterwards, he returns with Zelda and the game ends with him on a [[raft]] heading for an unknown location. | Link ventures to Hyrule Castle and visits the Triforce in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''.

At the beginning of ''Four Swords Adventures'', Link is friends with Princess Zelda. One night, Zelda is concerned that the seal keeping [[Vaati]] inside the [[Four Sword]] is failing. To combat this, Zelda and the six Shrine Maidens summon Link to [[Hyrule Castle]] to restore the seal.

Once Link reaches the Sanctuary, he pulls the Four Sword out from its pedestal, despite the fact that it will release Vaati from his prison. Doing so also splits Link versions of himself.

The Picori Festival has begun, and Zelda snuck out of the castle in order to go to the festival with Link. Grandfather Smith, the finest Smith in all of Hyrule, gives Link the task to give Smith's Sword to the winner of a Swordsman competition. 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. After a talk with the King of Hyrule, Link is given Smith's Sword and sets out to the Minish Wood. And thus Link's quest to save Zelda and defeat Vaati begins. | The Picori Festival has begun, and Zelda snuck out of the castle in order to go to the festival with Link.

The Minish Wood is where the legendary [[Minish|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. After this is done and the Four Sword has been created from the Picori Blade, Link enters the final dungeon, Dark Hyrule Castle. 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. | The Minish Wood is where the legendary [[Minish|Picori]] are said to reside. On the way, he encounters the strange talking cap [[Ezlo]].

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... a Picori. 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.

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 (Twilight Princess)|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. [[King Bulblin|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 Link|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 Spirit]]s, and go through three dungeons to get three [[Fused Shadow]]s. 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 [[Zelda (Twilight Princess)|Princess Zelda]], who entrusts him to save the [[Hyrule|Kingdom of Hyrule]] from the tyranny of Zant, and tells Link a way to transform back into a human.

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 (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] from the Twilight. He eventually goes on to confront his old nemesis, [[Ganon]]dorf and defeats him, bringing peace to Hyrule.

Link awakens on the [[Great Sky Island]] with a functioning, but not normal, right arm. A voice guides him outside, after which he obtains the [[Purah Pad]] and reaches the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]]. Unable to open it, [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom)|Rauru]] instructs him to explore the shrines on the island and obtain their power.

In Hyrule, Link meets up with [[Purah]] at [[Lookout Landing]]. She finds Link's stories about all that has transpired to be wild, but advises him to meetup with the crew at [[Hyrule Castle#Tears of the Kingdom|Hyrule Castle]] for more information. While there, Link sees Zelda in the distance before she flies into the Sky and disappears. Purah advises that Link investigate the [[Regional Phenomena]] that have been occurring all across Hyrule to see if there is any connection. | In Hyrule, Link meets up with [[Purah]] at [[Lookout Landing]].

At this point Link travels across Hyrule, helping to resolve the problems of the [[Rito]], [[Goron]]s, [[Zora]], and [[Gerudo]]. At each he defeats the monsters that the Demon King had sent, and at each he sees more images of Zelda, who repeatedly disappears in front of him.

When he finds her at the [[Sanctum]], Ganondorf appears and explains his ploy of a lookalike Zelda to distract Link while Ganondorf's power grows. Ganondorf attempts to kill Link by summoning [[Phantom Ganon]], who Link defeats. He then attacks Link with Gloom, though the [[Sage]]s prevent this from working. | At this point Link travels across Hyrule, helping to resolve the problems of the [[Rito]], [[Goron]]s, [[Zora]], and [[Gerudo]].

Purah realizes that there was a sixth Sage in the description of the [[Imprisoning War]] who is unaccounted for. Link finds this Sage, [[Mineru]], in the [[Depths]], and constructs a body for her spirit to reside in. Mineru explains to Link a story of the Imprisoning War and her experiences with Zelda in the past. Zelda worked to restore the Master Sword to its normal, evil banishing state. Link now needs to find the Sword somewhere in Hyrule. | Purah realizes that there was a sixth Sage in the description of the [[Imprisoning War]] who is unaccounted for.

After traveling to meet the [[Great Deku Tree]] and resolving his Gloom affliction, the Tree tells Link that he can still sense the Sword's presence. He does not know, however, why the Sword is moving across Hyrule. Link finds the Sword impaled into the head of the [[Light Dragon]] and, after restoring enough of his own [[Stamina Wheel|Stamina]], retrieves it. He is given another vision of Zelda, who says that the Master Sword is key to defeating Ganondorf, and she invested her power into it. | After traveling to meet the [[Great Deku Tree]] and resolving his Gloom affliction, the Tree tells Link that he can still sense the Sword's presence.

The Demon King makes one final attempt to annihilate Hyrule, and consumes his [[Secret Stone]], turning him into the [[Demon Dragon]].
