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, also known as the Hero of Hyrule, is the primary protagonist in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.

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. | 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.

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. | 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.
