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.

[[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 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 [[Ganon|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.

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.

After being frozen in time and allowed to age for seven years, Link has finally become old enough to hold the title Hero of Time. He is awakened by Rauru, the Sage of Light, in the Chamber of Sages, who explains that when Link opened the Door of Time, Ganondorf was able to enter the Sacred Realm and take the Triforce of Power, since his unbalance heart prevented him from claiming the full Triforce. During Link's seven-year slumber Ganondorf used his newfound power to take over Hyrule. Rauru tells Link that he must awaken the other five sages in order to defeat the King of Evil.

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]] 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|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|Ganondorf]] 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.

[[Link]], also known as the Hero of Hyrule, is the primary protagonist in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. One hundred years prior to the game's current events, Link was chosen by the [[Master Sword#Breath of the Wild|Master Sword]] to become wielder of the sacred blade and the one who would defeat [[Calamity Ganon]]. At the same time, Link was made [[Zelda#Breath of the Wild|Princess Zelda's]] appointed knight, and most of Link's memories entail his journeys during this time as Princess Zelda's protector.


Link's skill as a knight came with ease, something that Princess Zelda was continually jealous of and angry about when looking at her own continued failures to discover the Goddess [[Hylia|Hylia's]] power that rested within. At first, their relationship was tense, and Zelda assured Link that she did not need his protection. However, as Link continued to fearlessly protect her and with Calamity Ganon's imminent return, she began to open up to him and discovered that the two were not so different.

However, as Link continued to fearlessly protect her and with [[Calamity Ganon]]'s imminent return, she began to open up to him and discovered that the two were not so different.


Upon Calamity Ganon's return, events rapidly took a turn to disaster as Ganon used its powers to take over [[Hyrule Castle#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule Castle]], and to corrupt both the [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]] and the [[Divine Beast]]s. With nowhere left to run, Link and Zelda were left to fight on their own and survive in a world they could no longer combat. In an open field outside Hyrule, Link bravely stood against a Guardian with his last breath, continuing to defend Zelda and fulfill his role. While at this moment Zelda unlocked her true power after instead defending Link, the hero collapsed to the ground and died in Zelda's arms.
