All I mean by ally is someone who is on Link's side.
A companion, on the other hand, is someone who's there all game, which isn't what I meant in the thread. As far as companions go, Ezlo and the king of red lions are the only males I think.
The main reason I started this thread actually was...
Who is your favourite male ally to Link?
Mine has gotta be Captain linebeck, reasons being he's funny, different, and has significant character development.
Runners up would be the king of red lions, and Ezlo. But Linebeck has to win this for me.
