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]]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.

Link is dressed in boots, green pants and a sweatshirt, not unlike the rest of the citizens of Skyloft. He is a very active young lad who goes skydiving and bird riding to impress Zelda and his other classmates. Each of the citizens of Skyloft has a large bird called [[Loftwing]] that they use for transportation, but Link has a rare red Loftwing called a [[Crimson Loftwing]] that he befriends early on. Link is very close friends with Zelda and they seem to care greatly for each other. Early on in his quest, Link successfully wins the [[Wing Ceremony]] conducted by [[Instructor Horwell]] and this allows him to win a prize from Zelda.

Each of the citizens of Skyloft has a large bird called [[Loftwing]] that they use for transportation, but Link has a rare red breed called a [[Crimson Loftwing]]. Link is very close friends with Zelda and they seem to care greatly for each other. Early on in his quest, Link successfully wins the [[Wing Ceremony]] conducted by [[Instructor Horwell]] and this allows him to win a place in the [[Knight Academy]]. It also gives him a place in the [[Ceremony of the Goddess]], where Zelda gives him a [[Sailcloth]] as part of the ritual.


While Link and Zelda are riding off through the clouds, a sudden tornado is summoned, causing Zelda to fall off her bird and get sucked down into the land below. Link goes after Zelda, but appears to be knocked out cold by the huge fall. He is awakened by [[Gaepora]], where Link tells him of the unfortunate news about Zelda. After Gaepora leaves, Link is confronted by [[Fi]], the spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]], who then accompanies Link throughout his quest, serving as his spiritual guide. Gaepora finds the two together [[Inside the Statue of the Goddess]] and they begin to discuss of the war between the [[Hylia|Goddess]] and the [[Demise|Demon King]]. Afterwards, Link is entrusted with a green Knight uniform and he heads off.

Afterwards, Link is entrusted with a green Knight uniform and he heads off.


Link travels down to the land below in search of Zelda. Throughout his quest, he uses a standard set of inventory items that he [[Skyward Sword Upgrades|upgrades]] along the way as he battles through the overworld and dungeons, attempting to save Hyrule from the evil that lurks there. Part of his quest takes him to the [[Silent Realm]], where he must collect [[Sacred Tears]] and avoid [[Guardian (Skyward Sword)|Guardian]]s without the aid of his sword or other items. He fights many foes along the way, but perhaps the [[Ghirahim|Demon Lord Ghirahim]] is one of the most powerful. Ghirahim is also in search of Zelda and has no problem bringing Link within an inch of his life. He wants to resurrect his master, Demise, who is the strongest foe Link meets in this journey. His goal is to defeat Ghirahim and Demise, rescue Zelda, and save the lands of Skyloft and Hyrule. He ends up traveling all throughout Hyrule, learning more about the history of both Hyrule and Skyloft, and seeking to rekindle the [[Goddess Sword]] into the famous [[Master Sword]] along his journey.

{{quote|Born into a family of knights and chosen by the [[Master Sword]], Link attracts the attention of others. Aware of how many people look up to him, Link understand that it is his responsibility to set a good example at all times. However, as a result, he has become unable to express himself openly, remaining silent and expressionless. He is honest, serious, and sometimes overly committed to his duties. After becoming [[Zelda]]'s appointed knight, he accompanies her everywhere as she prepares herself for [[Calamity Ganon]]'s return, even though she often asks him not to. Initially, she was wary of Link because he seemed inscrutable, but she came to trust him after he saved her from an attack by the [[Yiga Clan]]. <br>
While the century-long Slumber of Restoration heals Link's wounds, it also robs him of his memories.<br>
Link was pretty much emotionless as the chosen knight 100 years ago, but he awakes to a time where he is relatively unknown. Only a few people who were around then are still alive. Freed from the attention and expectations of the people and without any memory of the past, this era's Link is more expressive and lighthearted than the stoic knight he was before.|[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Creating a Champion|Creating a Champion]], page 65}}

Line 185: Line 191:
Throughout Breath of the Wild, Link often has an uneasy relationship with many of the characters. Some, such as the [[Zora]], blame Link for the death of the [[Champion]]s and Hyrule's demise. Others, such as [[Revali]] and other Champions, never believed in Link's ability, and did not see him as the hero that would save Hyrule. After Link freed each of the Divine Beasts and their respective Champions' spirits, they changed their mind and stood behind Link when he eventually faced Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle.

Princess Zelda's Diary is the first text in the series to give an explanation for Link's persistent silence. The diary states that with so many people watching him, and with so much at stake, Link feels it necessary to stay strong and silently bear any burden. This, in turn, causes him to stop expressing his thoughts and feelings, and rather, work to fulfill the duty he was chosen for.
