[[File:Link_Artwork_1_(A_Link_to_the_Past).png|160px|left]][[File:Link-Alttp-Sprite.png|right]]Link is a young boy who lives with his Uncle in Hyrule and is the male protagonist. He finds himself thrust into a quest to save Hyrule after one night when he begins to hear a girl's voice in his head telling him to come to the dungeon of the castle and rescue her. He wakes up to see his [[Link's Uncle|Uncle]] sitting at the table with a sword and shield in his hands. His Uncle tells him to not leave the house and that he will be back in the morning. Once his Uncle leaves, Link disobeys his Uncle's orders and goes to the castle. He finds himself unable to enter the castle due to the guards who prevent him from getting in. He hears the girl's voice again that tells him to follow the flower path that leads to a secret passageway that leads inside the castle walls. He follows the path and finds a hole underneath a bush at the end of it. He falls down the hole and is shocked to find his Uncle wounded from an apparent battle with the guards. He goes to him and his Uncle scolds him for not listening to what he said earlier about staying at home. Nonetheless, he gives Link the [[Sword]] and [[Shield]] that he possesses and tells Link how to use the [[Spin Attack]], a secret technique passed down their people, the [[Knights of Hyrule]]. He implores Link to save Princess Zelda and then he falls into unconsciousness. Link leaves his Uncle and enters the Castle.

He defeats the [[Ball and Chain Soldier]] who is guarding the princess and sets her free. | ||
After freeing her from her cell, he takes her back through the castle and they use a secret passageway located in the throne room to reach the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]]. Once Princess Zelda is in the safe hands of the Sage, Link leaves and continues his quest by searching for the wise man named [[Sahasrahla (A Link to the Past)|Sahasrahla]]. After getting directions from [[Sahasrahla's Grandson]], he locates the wise man in a temple located near the [[Eastern Palace (A Link to the Past)|Eastern Palace]]. Once Link obtains the [[Pendant of Courage]] from the Eastern Palace, Sahasrahla gives him the [[Pegasus Boots]] as a reward for his efforts and tells him to obtain the other two pendants and gain the [[Master Sword]]. Link goes on to obtain the two pendants, the [[Pendant of Wisdom]] and the [[Pendant of Power]], and ventures into the [[Lost Woods]] to find the mythical sword. | After freeing her from her cell, he takes her back through the castle and they use a secret passageway located in the throne room to reach the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]].

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. | Link is a child of destiny born during the [[Hyrulean Civil War]].

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 rides on a 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, who was 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]]. He gives Link the [[Kokiri Emerald]], the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, and sends Link out to Hyrule Field 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 rides on a 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.
