Raised as a [[Kokiri]] under the watch of the [[Great Deku Tree]], Link was a Hylian child orphaned by the [[Hyrulean Civil War]]. Known as the "Boy without a Fairy", he was given a fairy - [[Navi]] - only when the Deku Tree was dying from a [[Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time)|Ganondorf]]-inflicted blight. The Deku Tree has Navi bring Link to him, but although Link manages to kill [[Queen Gohma]] and break the curse, the Deku Tree was terminal. With its dying breaths, it bequeaths Link the [[Spiritual Stone]] of the Forest, the [[Kokiri's Emerald]] and sends him to [[Hyrule Castle]] to meet with [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]]. As he leaves the forest, his best friend [[Saria]] gives him the [[Fairy Ocarina]] as a memento.

When Link reaches Hyrule Castle and talks with Zelda, they conspire to grab the other two Spiritual Stones before Ganondorf can. Link receives the [[Goron's Ruby]] from the "Big Boss of the [[Goron]]s", [[Darunia]] for reopening and clearing [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. He then travels to [[Zora's Domain]], where he obtains the [[Zora's Sapphire]] after rescuing Princess [[Ruto]] from the parasites that Ganondorf cursed the deity [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]] with. When he returns to [[Hyrule Castle Town]] with these, he finds Zelda fleeing from Ganondorf. After his first confrontation with the Gerudo king, he retrieves the [[Ocarina of Time]] from the moat where Zelda stashed it, along with a vision from the princess teaching him the [[Song of Time]]. Using the Spiritual Stones, Ocarina of Time and Song of Time, he opens the [[Door of Time]] in the [[Temple of Time]] and accesses the [[Master Sword]]'s chamber. When he pulls the sword out, however, he is frozen in the [[Light Temple]] by the Master Sword, as it did not recognize a child as young as him to be the Hero of Time.

Seven years later, he is released to find he is an adult. [[Rauru (Ocarina of Time)|Rauru]] explains that Ganondorf managed to use the path to the [[Sacred Realm]] opened by Link himself to claim part of the Triforce, turn the Sacred Realm into a [[Dark World]] and conquer Hyrule. With the aid of the mysterious [[Sheik]], Link must go to the five temples and awaken the other [[sage]]s.

Link is the hero and primary protagonist of ''Twilight Princess'', where he is a ripe seventeen-year-old boy.{{Ref|name=Quote1|''Twilight Princess Trading Cards''|Link is a 17-year-old wrangler from Ordon Woods, a quiet village in the far corner of Hyrule.|Card Description}} He works as a rancher, and lives in [[Ordon Woods]].{{Ref|name=Quote1}} He is dressed in a multi-colored shirt and pants, and sandals. 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 acquires the [[Master Sword]], removing his curse, and travels to the [[Gerudo Desert]] to seek the [[Mirror of Twilight]], which he finds has been broken by Zant. 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. In the end credits, he is seen riding away on his horse, leaving the Faron Woods to an unknown location, also leaving the [[Master Sword]] back in its pedestal. His role in Twilight Princess ranges from many things, but he ultimately strives to help Midna in reclaiming her power and helping her people.

In the first ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Link is part of the first 8 playable characters. His appearance is based on his adult form in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. For his neutral special Link uses a boomerang, and item an item normally not usable in his adult form. For his up special, Link performs a spin attack. Unlike the main [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], using the spin attack mid air will cause Link to move upwards allowing him to get back onto the stage if he gets knocked off. For his down special, Link pulls out a bomb will explode after a few seconds. When Link performs a grab he will use his hookshot, allowing him to grab at a farther range than his opponents.
