Link –
The hero. A Hylian
boy/man. Link's age (and possibly
identity) varies from game to game, and sometimes even within the game.
There is some talk in the timeline that there is actually more than one Link and
more than one Zelda, that the games take place over a series of decades or
centuries (this is based on the fact that Link seems to have a different family
in at least four games... though some games - "Ocarina of Time" and "Majora's
Mask" for example - are clearly linked and contain the same characters) In Wind
Waker this is most obviously the case. Another theory is that Link simply
does a lot of time travel... as the official timeline actually states for the
Super Nintendo versions... For the most part I will be using the Ocarina of
Time/ Majora's Mask characters... In any case Link always posses the triforce of courage.
He possesses great magic, and is pure of heart.
He almost always saves the Princess... generally the world as well. In Ocarina
of Time Link was raised with the Kokiri after his mother died during
a war.
age: ranges from about seven or eight to probably 16, but possibly a little older...
