Link is a child of destiny born during the | Link is a child of destiny born during the Hyrulean Civil War. Though he is actually Hylian, he was left with the Great Deku Tree as an infant by his mortally wounded mother and thus was raised as a Kokiri in the forest. He is often picked on by the other Kokiri kids for not having a fairy companion like every other Kokiri. Mido in particular ridiculed Link often, partly also due to jealousy over Link's close friendship with Saria. He is a very courageous and noble individual who is always willing to take up a difficult challenge to help those dear to him. | ||
At the beginning of the game, Link is having a dream in which the sky is pitch-black & stormy, a bridge is lowered across a moat, a woman and a young girl on a white horse ride by, and a sinister-looking man with dark skin and red hair (Ganondorf) on an black, armored horse appears right behind Link when he looks back. When the Great Deku Tree, the guardian of the Kokiri, is cursed by Ganondorf for not handing over the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, he sends Navi the fairy to become Link's fairy companion. After obtaining a sword and shield, Navi takes Link over to see the Great Deku Tree, who explains to Link about the curse and asks Link to break it. Link travels inside the Great Deku Tree and defeats the monster Gohma sent there by Ganondorf, thus breaking the curse. However, the Great Deku Tree was going to die either way, so with his final breath, he tells Link the creation story of Hyrule and the Triforce, the evil man Ganondorf and his origins, and gives Link the Kokiri Emerald, the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, and sends Link out to Hyrule Field -- considered forbidden to the Kokiri, as they believe they will die if they leave the Forest -- to speak with Princess Zelda. Before Link leaves the forest, he is given the Fairy Ocarina by Saria, which allows him to play the various magical songs that are key to gameplay. | At the beginning of the game, Link is having a dream in which the sky is pitch-black & stormy, a bridge is lowered across a moat, a woman and a young girl on a white horse ride by, and a sinister-looking man with dark skin and red hair (Ganondorf) on an black, armored horse appears right behind Link when he looks back.

Link journeys to Hyrule Castle and finds Princess Zelda, who explains Ganondorf's evil plan to obtain the Triforce and take over Hyrule. She tells Link that he must go find the other two Spiritual Stones before Ganondorf can get a hold of them. Link first travels to Goron City atop Death Mountain, where he obtains the Goron Ruby after gaining the Goron people's trust by clearing the monsters Ganondorf unleashed in Dodongo's Cavern. He then travels to Zora's Domain, where he obtains the Zora Sapphire after rescuing Princess Ruto from the parasites that Ganondorf cursed the deity Lord Jabu-Jabu with. | Link journeys to Hyrule Castle and finds Princess Zelda, who explains Ganondorf's evil plan to obtain the Triforce and take over Hyrule.

With all three Spiritual Stones in hand, Link travels back to Hyrule Castle Town, only to have his haunting dreams come to pass. Princess Zelda and her aid Impa dash by on a white horse, but Zelda manages to throw the Ocarina of Time to Link during her escape. Ganondorf appears right behind Link and asks which way they went. Link refuses to tell, drawing his sword and shield, to which Ganondorf simply blasts him with a ball of energy. Ganondorf then proclaims that he will soon rule the world and rides off.

Link finds the Ocarina of Time in the moat, and upon finding it receives a vision from Zelda, teaching him the Song of Time, the final key to opening the Door of Time. With the three stones and now the Ocarina of Time, Link is able to open the Door of Time in the Temple of Time and access the Master Sword's chamber. When he pulls the sword out, however, he is frozen in time by the Master Sword, as it did not recognize a child as young as him to be the Hero of Time. | ||

Princess of the Zoras and caretaker of the Zoras' patron deity Lord Jabu-Jabu, Princess Ruto is a rather spoiled and sassy young lady with a rebellious attitude towards her father King Zora. Link first learns of Princess Ruto when he finds a message in a bottle that she supposedly wrote asking for help as she had been swallowed by Lord Jabu-Jabu. When Link gets swallowed as well, he finds Ruto safe and sound inside, claiming that she enters Lord Jabu-Jabu all the time. She tells Link that she has lost her treasure, the Zora Sapphire, and demands he accompanies her in search of it. She is captured once she finds the Sapphire, and Link must defeat Barinade to free her. After being saved, she is so impressed with Link that she quite quickly falls in love and declares them engaged by giving him her Sapphire, which is supposed to be her engagement ring. | Princess of the Zoras and caretaker of the Zoras' patron deity Lord Jabu-Jabu, Princess Ruto is a rather spoiled and sassy young lady with a rebellious attitude towards her father King Zora.

As an adult, Ruto has become far more mature and responsible. She was trapped in the Ice Cavern when Zora's Domain freezes over, but after being saved by Sheik she heads for the Water Temple to try and save her people. Link meets up with her again inside the Temple, and she still remembers the engagement. While trying to assist Link in the Temple, Ruto suddenly disappears, only to later awaken as the Sage of Water upon Link's triumph over the Temple's boss. In light of her new duties, she cuts off her engagement to Link at that time. She continues to help Link during his trek through Ganon's Castle when all the sages create the rainbow bridge up to his Castle, and she dispells the Water Barrier inside. | As an adult, Ruto has become far more mature and responsible.

When Link enters Darunia's room using Zelda's Lullaby, Darunia assumed him a messenger from the Royal Family. Irritated that Link was not, Darunia refused to assist Link. However, Link manages to lift Darunia's mood and make him dance by playing Saria's Song for him. Darunia gives Link the Goron Bracelet and asks him to clear the evil from Dodongo's Cavern. Upon completing the task, Link is made a Sworn Brother and is given the Goron Ruby. | When Link enters Darunia's room using Zelda's Lullaby, Darunia assumed him a messenger from the Royal Family.

As an adult, Link returns to Goron City to find all the inhabitants imprisoned by the evil dragon Volvagia. Link meets up with Darunia in the Fire Temple, and Darunia heads into Volvagia's chamber to confront the monster, determined to slay the beast even though he lacks the legendary Megaton Hammer. Darunia fails, though Link manages to succeed after finding the hammer, and upon defeating Volvagia he awakens Darunia as the Sage of Fire. Darunia remarks once again that he and Link are true Brothers.

===Great Deku Tree=== | ===Great Deku Tree=== | ||
The Great Deku Tree is the guardian Deity of the Kokiri Forest. He speaks in old English and acts as the setting for the first dungeon of the game. At the beginning of the game, he sends Navi the fairy to bring Link to him. When Link arrives, the Great Deku Tree explains that he has been cursed by Ganondorf for not giving up the Kokiri Emerald. He requests Link enter the interior of the tree to remove the curse. Though Link successfully defeats Gohma and removes the curse, the Great Deku Tree is still doomed to die. Before dying, he tells Link the legend of how the Golden Goddesses created Hyrule and the Triforce, and how Ganondorf plans to use the Spiritual Stones to open the Door of Time to take the Triforce for himself. The Great Deku Tree gives Link one of the Spiritual Stones, the Kokiri Emerald, and sends him on a quest to retrieve the other stones before Ganondorf can. He dies shortly afterwards. | The Great Deku Tree is the guardian Deity of the Kokiri Forest. He speaks in old English and acts as the setting for the first dungeon of the game.

===Windmill Man=== | ===Windmill Man=== | ||
The Windmill Man spends the entire game inside Kakariko Village's windmill playing his grinder organ. The man seems to have quite the temper problem and is involved in what fans dub the "Song of Storms Paradox". When Link visits him as a child, the Windmill Man is cheerfully trying to write a song inspired by the motion of the windmill. When Link visits him as an adult, the Windmill Man is considerably aggravated and complains that a child with an ocarina "messed up the windmill" seven years prior. When Link shows him his Ocarina, the Windmill Man becomes even more agitated, having been reminded of the song, and plays the Song of Storms angrily, effectively teaching Link the song. Should Link visit the Windmill Man again as a child and play the Song of Storms, the windmill will speed up considerably and drain the Well. The increased speed of the windmill disrupts the Windmill Man's music tempo, causing him to become extremely confused, leading to his anger issues in the future. | The Windmill Man spends the entire game inside Kakariko Village's windmill playing his grinder organ.
