Link's Grandmother?

[Batman]

I don't see any reason to believe she is Impa. I'm pretty sure she's simply his grandmother.

 

[Linkwolf]

For some reason I found her very funny. Since she doesn't appear in any other games, I would have to think she is just some Guardian such as a family friend.

 

[Salt Dog]

I thought the Sheikah protect the royal blood line... Link isn't in the blood line (that we know of)

 

[dragon]

that does make a lot of sense

I don't think Link's grandma is Impa, because that was never established. Therefore, it is currently untrue. Besides, Impa has historically been Zelda's caretaker. I doubt her character's role would ever be switched like that.

Bear in mind that at the beginning of the game Tetra has no idea that she is actually Zelda. She is only awakened to that fact part way through the game.

While nothing like this has been confirmed it actually does make sense to me.
SPOILER ALERT
In the end of SS you know that (if you played SS) Demise cursed Link an Zelda and his hatred would come back in a cycle. With this, Nintendo confirmed that all links and zeldas are from the same bloodline, WITH THE EXCEPTION of the Link om WW.

Maybe the gods knew that this boy was meant to be the chosen hero, but since he wasn't in the same bloodline as the other heroes, the gods had their doubts. To protect him and raise him well they couldve sent an agent to be his "grandmother". You never know, it could be possible

An agent. Hmmm interesting idea. I was thinking something along the lines of this also.

If you mean The Wind Waker, she probably is. Seems like a rather odd questions to ask.

 

[Jeeen]

I can see the relation between both characters.. but it seems likely to me because besides Ocarina of time, there's really no other reference or even appearance of Link's family members.. so maybe Impa is taking over?

 

[ocarina hero]

it is probably his actual grandmother

 

[DrNedaj]

Impa is Zelda protector not links so it's links grandma not impa

 

[Pacohood]

I doubt it because of your reasoning, that she grew old and forgot...I don't buy it

if she really was an "agent" that had to find out if he was really able, then why would they have soo many quests and trials just to obtain the Master Sword?

It might be Impa or it could be someone else...

Good theory, but there's just not enough evidence to prove it.
