-'''Link''' is the hero of the first two games in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''.
+The '''Hero of Hyrule''' is the main protagonist of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''.
+This incarnation of [[Link]] was a humble traveler, who discovered that [[Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)|Ganon]] had conquered [[Hyrule]] with his army of monsters and set out on a quest to liberate it. After collecting the scattered pieces of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]], Link confronted Ganon atop [[Death Mountain]] and ultimately defeated him, killing Ganon and claiming the [[Triforce of Power]] - he then freed [[Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)|Princess Zelda]], and together, they used their respective Triforce pieces to restore Hyrule. Some time later, Link would discover the existence of the [[Triforce of Courage]], and set out on a quest to complete the [[Triforce]] and awaken [[Zelda (The Adventure of Link)|Zelda's ancestor]] from her eternal slumber. Link would prove successful in his quest once again, awakening Zelda from her slumber.
 ==''The Legend of Zelda''==
 {{quote|A long, long time ago the World was in an age of Chaos. In the midst of this chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule, a legend was being handed down from generation to generation, the legend of the "[[Triforce]]"; golden triangles possessing mystical powers.|[[The Legend of Zelda Instruction Manual]]}}
-Link first encountered [[Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)|Ganon's]] minions attacking an old woman. After he successfully forced them to leave her be, she thanked him and gave her name as [[Impa]], trusted nursemaid of the ruling [[Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)|Princess Zelda]].
+Link is a [[Hylian]] with an unknown past, living as a humble traveler. At the beginning of the game, he is 10 years old  - while travelling through [[Lesser Hyrule]], he encounters an old woman being attacked by monsters; Link intervenes, and saves her. The old woman thanks him, explaining she is [[Impa (The Legend of Zelda)|Impa]], the trusted nursemaid of [[Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)|Princess Zelda]]; the evil [[Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)|Ganon]] had invaded the kingdom with an army of monsters, and won due to bearing the [[Triforce of Power]]. Zelda was captured, but she split the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] into eight [[Triforce Shard|Triforce Shards]] and hid them in dungeons around the kingdom to keep it safe. Impa had been sent to find a hero with the courage to oppose Ganon.
-She went on to explain to him what has happened to [[Lesser Hyrule|Zelda's kingdom]] within [[Hyrule]] - the evil Ganon had raised an army to attack the kingdom and stolen the [[Triforce of Power]], one of Hyrule's most powerful treasures. With this, he had subjugated the land and captured Zelda.  However, before her capture, the princess had done two things. First, split the [[Triforce of Wisdom]], the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]]'s other great treasure, into eight [[Triforce Shard|fragments]] and had them hidden in [[The Legend of Zelda Dungeons|deep labyrinths]]. And, second, sent Impa to find someone with the courage to defeat Ganon.
 Accepting Impa's challenge, Link took up the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|sword]] offered by an [[Old Man]] who warned him of the dangers of going alone, and set off to recover the Triforce fragments and use them to defeat Ganon.
