The only time Link has ever had mentioned parents has been in ALttP and OoT.
In OoT, we learn in-game that Link's mother died from injuries and left Link in the care of the Great Deku Tree. Most assume his father was a knight, mainly because the hero is always a descendant of a Knight of Hyrule. So, it's likely that his father was a knight. In any case, only the mother was mentioned in OoT.
In ALttP, Link actually does have parents, but you have to listen to the official prologue, Sound & Drama. Yes, it IS official. Link's Uncle isn't really his blood uncle. Link's father and mother are named Banzetta and Loretta. Banzetta, a knight, dies trying to avenge Loretta and trying to protect the Triforce. After Link's mother had been killed, Link was actually left in the care of Zelda's nanny (not named Impa, for whatever reason) because Banzetta was unable to care for him alone. Then, after Zelda's nanny and Banzetta were killed, Link was left under the care of the nanny's husband who Link refers to as "Uncle". As many know, calling somebody "Uncle" is common with close friends who are like family.
As far as parents go, that's the most we've ever been given. In TP, I suppose you could consider Colin's dad a father figure... probably very close to the "uncle" relationship Link had with his caretaker in ALttP.
