Raised as a [[Kokiri]] under the watch of the [[Great Deku Tree]], Link was a Hylian child orphaned by the [[Hyrulean Civil War]]. Known as the "Boy without a Fairy", he was given a fairy - [[Navi]] - only when the Deku Tree was dying from a [[Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time)|Ganondorf]]-inflicted blight. The Deku Tree has Navi bring Link to him, but although Link manages to kill [[Queen Gohma]] and break the curse, the Deku Tree was terminal. With its dying breaths, it bequeaths Link the [[Spiritual Stone]] of the Forest, the [[Kokiri's Emerald]] and sends him to [[Hyrule Castle]] to meet with [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|Princess Zelda]]. As he leaves the forest, his best friend [[Saria]] gives him the [[Fairy Ocarina]] as a memento.

When Link reaches Hyrule Castle and talks with Zelda, they conspire to grab the other two Spiritual Stones before Ganondorf can. Link receives the [[Goron's Ruby]] from the "Big Boss of the [[Goron]]s", [[Darunia]] for reopening and clearing [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. He then travels to [[Zora's Domain]], where he obtains the [[Zora's Sapphire]] after rescuing Princess [[Ruto]] from the parasites that Ganondorf cursed the deity [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]] with. When he returns to [[Hyrule Castle Town]] with these, he finds Zelda fleeing from Ganondorf. After his first confrontation with the Gerudo king, he retrieves the [[Ocarina of Time]] from the moat where Zelda stashed it, along with a vision from the princess teaching him the [[Song of Time]]. Using the Spiritual Stones, Ocarina of Time and Song of Time, he opens the [[Door of Time]] in the [[Temple of Time]] and accesses the [[Master Sword]]'s chamber. When he pulls the sword out, however, he is frozen in the [[Light Temple]] by the Master Sword, as it did not recognize a child as young as him to be the Hero of Time.

Seven years later, he is released to find he is an adult. [[Rauru (Ocarina of Time)|Rauru]] explains that Ganondorf managed to use the path to the [[Sacred Realm]] opened by Link himself to claim part of the Triforce, turn the Sacred Realm into a [[Dark World]] and conquer Hyrule. With the aid of the mysterious [[Sheik]], Link must go to the five temples and awaken the other [[sage]]s.

In the first ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Link is part of the first 8 playable characters. His appearance is based on his adult form in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. For his neutral special Link uses a boomerang, and item an item normally not usable in his adult form. For his up special, Link performs a spin attack. Unlike the main [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], using the spin attack mid air will cause Link to move upwards allowing him to get back onto the stage if he gets knocked off. For his down special, Link pulls out a bomb will explode after a few seconds. When Link performs a grab he will use his hookshot, allowing him to grab at a farther range than his opponents.
