Description

Overall

Link is the hero and main playable character of all the Zelda games. Although he is the main character, there is actually not that much known about him. This is mainly due to the fact that in all games you are rarely aware of what he says, so you never get to hear much about his personality and such things. The main trademarks of Link's appearance are his pointy ears that all Hylians share and his green clothes, including his trademark pointy green cap and his trusty sword & shield.

Link in OoT, the Hero of Time, is perhaps the most well-known and revered hero in Hylian history.

At first thought to be a little Kokiri from the forest, Link is the son of a proud Hylian mother. After the Great Deku Tree passes on, Link is given a task to perform: find the Princess of Destiny, Princess Zelda. The princess tells him to get two of the Spiritual Stones (he already had the Spiritual Stone of Forest entrsuted to him by the Deku Tree), passed down the Gorons, and the Zoras and use them with the Ocarina of Time to protect the Triforce, or, to be strictly accurate, obtain the Triforce before Ganondorf, who came to Hyrule to get it.

But this plan backfires when Zelda is chased from her castle by Ganondorf to go into hiding. She entrusts Link with the Ocarina, so he can open the Door of Time, the barrier that protects the Triforce, inside the Temple of Time himself to obtain the Triforce. However, behind the door was not the entrance of the Sacred Realm (the resting place of the Triforce) itself, but a final safeguard for protecting it. This safeguard was the Master Sword, the Sword of Evil's Bane. Only a person deserving of the title of "Hero of Time" could pull it from the Pedestal of Time.

At the moment Link lifts the sword from the pedestal, his spirit is sealed inside the Temple of Light, the temple where the Triforce rests, leaving open the entrance to it, so Ganondorf is able toget it.

Link is locked in sleep for seven years until Rauru, the Sage of Light awakens him, telling him that because Ganondorf obtained the Triforce and became tyrant of Hyrule, Link, with the Master Sword, must be the prophesied Hero of Time, the only one able to awaken the rest of the Sages, so they can seal the Evil King inside the Evil Realm that the resting place of the Triforce has become.

After Link awakens all the Six Sages, he finds Princess Zelda.

Or rather, she finds him, since she was watching him the whole time in the guise of a male Sheikah warrior, Sheikand now revealed herself to be Zelda, as well as revealing that Ganondorf had only got the Triforce of Power, and telling him he's the holder of the Triforce of Courage, and she the holder of the Triforce of Wisdom and the Seventh Sage. At the end, Using the power of the Seven Sages, they are able to seal the Evil King inside the Evil Realm.
