Link: Difference between revisions

Link is the hero and main protagonist in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''. Unlike ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', Link has no known relatives.  He is close with the [[Blacksmith (Hyrule)|Blacksmith]], however, and Link originally works for him before setting out on his quest.

Close to the beginning of Link's adventure, Link heads to the [[Sanctuary (A Link Between Worlds)|Sanctuary]] to deliver a sword to the [[Captain (A Link Between Worlds)|Captain]]. Here he meets the main antagonist of the game, [[Yuga]], who proceeds to turn both the Captain and the Sage [[Seres]] into paintings.

 

After attempting to attack Yuga, Link later wakes up in his house after blacking out. Here he meets [[Ravio]], who found him lying in the Sanctuary and brought him to the empty house. Ravio later sets up a [[Ravio's Shop|shop]] in Link's house where he will rent (and later sell) his own items to use across the Overworld and in various dungeons. Ravio also gives Link a [[Ravio's Bracelet|bracelet]], which will allow him to become a painting after the events of the [[Eastern Palace (A Link Between Worlds|Eastern Palace]].

 

Distressed by the events in the Sanctuary, Link visits [[Princess Zelda]] to inform her of what happened. Zelda takes the events seriously and gives Link a charm that has been in the [[Royal Family]] for generations. The Princess asks Link to visit the elder [[Sahasrahla]], who possesses great knowledge of past events and can give Link more information.

 

When speaking with Sahasrahla, the elder realizes that he sent the Sage [[Osfala]] to the Eastern Palace, where he is under threat of attack from Yuga. He sends Link to warn the [[Sage]], whom he meets at the entrance to the Palace. Osfala shoves him off however, forcing Link to complete the Palace and watch the Sage be transformed into a painting by Yuga. Link is soon transformed into a painting much like the Captain; however, Ravio's Bracelet saves Link and allows him to escape the wall and transform into a painting whenever he chooses to.

 

After leaving the Palace, Sahasrahla catches up with Link. The two soon hear a large earthquake centered at [[Hyrule Castle]], which they find surrounded by a large magical barrier. After Link shows Princess Zelda's charm to Sahasrahla, the elder realizes that it is the [[Pendant of Courage]], one of three [[Pendants of Virtue]] needed to obtain the [[Master Sword]]. Sahasrahla then sends Link to the [[House of Gales]] and the [[Tower of Hera (A Link Between Worlds)|Tower of Hera]] to obtain the other two Pendants.

 

Once Link obtains the Pendants, he heads to the [[Lost Woods]] to obtain the legendary Master Sword. With the Master Sword in hand, Link then uses it to destroy the barrier surrounding Hyrule Castle, allowing him to enter and find the cause of the panic. After navigating his way up the Castle, Link finds Yuga once more, who proceeds to turn Princess Zelda into a painting. Link then gives chase after Yuga to the top of the castle, where Link uses Ravio's Bracelet to follow Yuga into [[Lorule]].

 

Yuga then uses the paintings of all seven Sages to bring forth [[Ganon]], whose power Yuga absorbs to become Yuga Ganon. Before Yuga can kill Link, [[Hilda]], the princess of Lorule, steps in and traps the beast. Hilda then speaks to Link about Lorule's fate, and soon transports him out [[Lorule Castle]] before Yuga Ganon breaks free.

 

Link soon wakes up in the familiar Blacksmith's House, however it is filled with Lorule residents that are unfamiliar to Link. Hilda soon tasks Link with visiting all seven dungeons in Lorule to save the Sage trapped in each one. After saving all seven Sages, they use their power to bring forth the [[Triforce of Courage]], which Link takes with him to defeat Yuga Ganon.

 

After making his way back to Lorule Castle, Hilda removes the barrier surrounding the castle, allowing Link to ascend it. Link soon finds Hilda at the top of the castle, where she takes Princess Zelda's [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and reveals her partnership with Yuga to take [[Hyrule]]]'s [[Triforce]] for their own. Hilda then sends Yuga Ganon to attack Link in an attempt to steal his Triforce of Courage.

 

Once Link defeats Yuga Ganon, Hilda still intends to take Hyrule's Triforce for her own, but is soon stopped by Ravio. Princess Zelda and Link then enter the [[Sacred Realm]], and use Hyrule's Triforce to restore Lorule's Triforce, returning the country to normal and bringing peace to both worlds.
