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 the Princess Zelda and then he falls into unconsciousness. Link leaves his Uncle and enters the Castle.

He defeats the [[Ball and Chain Trooper]] who is guarding the princess and sets her free. | [[File:Link_Artwork_1_(A_Link_to_the_Past).png|160px|left]][[File:Link-Alttp-Sprite.png|right]]Link is a young boy who is lives with his Uncle in Hyrule and is the male protagonist.

Once he has the sword in hand, he receives a frantic telepathic message from the [[Loyal Sage]] and when he arrives to see what is going on, he finds Princess Zelda gone and the Sage wounded. He discovers that [[Agahnim]] is the reason behind these events and sets off for the castle. He goes to the upper portion of the palace that he could not enter before and uses the Master Sword to dispel the barrier that was preventing him from entering. Once inside he storms through the dark wizard's hideout and after many battles he finally reaches him. Sadly he finds him and the Princess Zelda too late, for right as he enters he sees the princess behind sent to the [[Dark World]] before him.

Link travels down to the land below in search of Zelda. Throughout his quest, he uses a standard set of inventory items that he 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]]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 ressurrect his master, Demise, who is the strongest foe Link meets in this journey. It's up to our hero to defeat Ghirahim, Demise, rescue Zelda, and save the lands of Skyloft and Hyrule. | Link travels down to the land below in search of Zelda.
