HEAVY OOT SPOILERS, SOME MM SPOILERS
Recently I have been debating on which Link has the worst life. All of the Links throughout history have been thrust into a great responsibility without any choice in the matter but the one who had the worst of it all was OoT, MM Link. I say this because this Link had no choice but to blindly do what he was told from the very beginning.
To start off the game Link, who is an orphaned child, is woken up by Navi, who tells him that he is summoned by The Great Deku Tree. When he tries to however you are confronted by Mido, who it becomes apparent has bullied Link his whole life. Once he meets The Great Deku Tree (the only parental figure in the Kokiri Race) tells Link that he is dying and that Link must venture inside him and vanquish the evil that ails him. Link of course does this having no choice because The Great Deku tree is the Deity of the Kokiris and he would be shunned if he refused the request. Link does so to no avail and when he exits the Great Deku Tree he explains with his last dying breaths that Links entire life has been a lie and he is not one of the Kokiri. He is then told that a great evil threatens the land and told to go see the princess. After the Great Deku Tree Dies Link is instantly blamed because he was the last person to see him. Link then flees Kokiri Village to escape the shame and carry out the dying request of The Great Deku Tree.
When Link finally makes it to the princess she shows him a man who she believes is evil and plans too take over Hyrule. She then proceeds to beg Link repeatedly to help her until has no choice but to accept. Link then proceeds to to search for the sacred stones used to open the secret chamber to the Master Sword, each of which he has to put his life on the line to save races he didnt even know existed until now to get. Once he has the stone he goes to tell Zelda the news but it is already to late and Ganondorf has found them out. he watches helplessly as Zelda flees and Ganondorf goes after them. Once he opens the gate and gets the Master Sword Ganondorf reveals himself as they are being transported into the sacred realm and gains power over the Triforce and uses it to take control over Hyrule while Link who is not yet old enough to be the Hero of Time goes into a 7 year coma in the Spirit Realm. When he is awakened the land he knew for only a short amount of time is completely changed an evil has spread across the land. Link now being 17 years old still has the mind of his 10 year old self is then given the task of going around the world is search of the Five Sages who he must awaken by defeating the Great Evils across the land. Of these include his best friend and his fiance(a spot he was forced into, to fulfill Zelda's request), not to mention that he will never see anyone who is a sage again. Once he beats Ganondorf, Ganondorf transforms into a towing beast called Ganon and Link is forced to fight him as well. When Link defeats Ganon he learns that Zelda is a Sage as well and that their relationship could never be so she sends him back to the past to live his childhood.
In this new timeline Zelda is able to convince her dad that Ganondorf is evil and there is no need for Link to go on his quest so he never meets Navi. He ends up missing Navi and starts to search for her in the forest when he gets mugged by some kid in a creepy mask who steals the only item to remind him of his other life. Link then proceeds to chase the kid into a tree trunk where he is transported into a parallel dimension that was worse off than his own. He is knocked out from the fall and has a nightmare, when he wakes up he is now a member of a new race he never met before. When he escapes the area he is in he is confronted by The Happy Mask Salesmen, a creepy, bipolar salesmen who extorts you throughout the entirety of the game and seems to know about everything that is going on and why. The new world Link is in is going to die in three days from the moon crashing into the world and destroying everything. In that time he has to wake the four giants to stop the moon and retrieve the mask that the kid was wearing for the happy mask salesmen. Also in this amount of time he is tasked with making everyones life better, running erarnds, stopping an alien invation, saving a monkey, a princess, a witch, and countless other things, putting the great faries back together, making a baby stop crying, win a race, reuniting loved ones, wining another race, etc etc etc.
When it is all said and done with he is transported back into the forest to continue looking for Navi, who he never finds, and Link eventually turns into a stalfos that we know as the Hero's Shade.
"Anybody who comes into the forest will be lost. Everybody will become a Stalfos. Everybody, Stalfos"
What are your thoughts?
Which Link do you think has the worst life?
Sorry that I got a little lazy with the Major's Mask section, it would have been ridiculously long otherwise
