Link: Difference between revisions

In the beginning of Four Swords Adventures, Link is friends with Princess Zelda. One night, Zelda is concerned the seal which keeps [[Vaati]] inside the [[Four Sword]] is failing. To combat this, Zelda and the six Shrine Maidens summon Link to [[Hyrule Castle]] to restore the seal. However, before they can reach the [[Four Sword Sanctuary]], the maidens are captured and imprisoned by [[Shadow Link]].  

Once Link reaches the Sanctuary he pulls the Four Sword out from its pedestal, despite the fact that it will release Vaati from his prison. Doing so also splits Link versions of himself. Before they can run after Shadow Link, Vaati appears and sends them far across [[Hyrule]].  

After listening to the words of [[Kaepora Gaebora]], the Links travel across Hyrule and use their combined abilities to save the Maidens and collect the Four Royal Jewels, revealing the [[Tower of Winds]]. Upon climbing to the top of the Tower the Links reach the [[Realm of Heavens]] where they defeat Shadow Link and reclaim the [[Dark Mirror]] from which they were created. After another battle with Vaati the Links defeat the Wind Mage for good.  

Link is the hero and main protagonist of ''Twilight Princess'', where he is a ripe seventeen-year-old boy.{{Ref|name=Quote1|''Twilight Princess Trading Cards''|Link is a 17-year-old wrangler from Ordon Woods, a quiet village in the far corner of Hyrule.|Card Description}} He works as a rancher, and lives in [[Ordon Woods]].{{Ref|name=Quote1}} He is dressed with a multi-colored shirt and pants, and sandals. He buys a [[slingshot]] and shows it off to the kids when a [[Monkey]] comes and [[Malo]], [[Talo]], and [[Beth]] run after the monkey. Talo keeps running after the monkey, while Malo and Beth get left behind. Link has to find Talo and the monkey. After he saves Talo and the monkey he returns to Ordon Village. The next day he prepares to go off for [[Hyrule Castle]] to deliver a gift, but [[Ilia]] notices a cut on his horse, [[Epona]], and yells at him. Link must then go to [[Ordon Spring]] in order to retrieve his horse. After taking a secret passageway to get past the locked gate, Link reunites with Epona. But then the gate bursts open and a [[Bulblin]] knocks Link unconscious. [[King Bulblin|Their leader]] then kidnaps Ilia and [[Collin]] and blows his horn, causing a portal to open. Link then wakes up and notices the children gone. Frantically, he runs after them, only to run into a huge black wall preventing him from proceeding. A monster pulls him through the wall into [[Faron Province]], which is now covered in [[Twilight]]. This causes him to transform into a sacred [[Wolf Link|wolf]]. He meets up with [[Midna]] in the [[Twilight Realm]] who becomes his partner for this game. Link meets Zelda and eventually returns to the light. Throughout the game, Link has to return the [[Tears of Light]] to the [[Light Spirit]]s, and go through three dungeons to get three [[Fused Shadow]]s. As Link progresses through Hyrule, he learns more about [[Midna]], the [[Twili]], and [[Zant]] and how all of the three are associated with one another. After collecting the [[Fused Shadows]], Midna meets a terrible fate and Link becomes cursed to permanently roam as a wolf. He helps Midna visit [[Princess Zelda]], who entrusts him to save the [[Kingdom of Hyrule]] from the tyranny of Zant, and tells Link a way to transform back into a human. He acquires the [[Master Sword]], removing his curse, and travels to the [[Gerudo Desert]] to seek the [[Mirror of Twilight]], which he finds has been broken by Zant. He then has to repair the [[Mirror of Twilight]] that was broken into four pieces. Once he does so, he has access to the Palace of Twilight. He goes there to defeat [[Zant]] and save [[Hyrule Castle (Twilight Princess)|Hyrule Castle]] from the Twilight. He eventually goes on to confront his old nemesis, [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] and defeats him, bringing peace to Hyrule. In the end credits, he is seen riding away on his horse, leaving the Faron Woods to an unknown location, also leaving the [[Master Sword]] back in its pedestal. His role in Twilight Princess ranges from many things, but he ultimately strives to help Midna in reclaiming her power and helping her people.  

Distressed by the events in the Sanctuary, Link visits [[Princess Zelda]] to inform her of what happened. Zelda takes the events seriously and gives Link a charm that has been in the [[Royal Family]] for generations. The Princess asks Link to visit the elder [[Sahasrahla]], who possesses great knowledge of past events and can give Link more information.  

When speaking with Sahasrahla, the elder realizes that he sent the Sage [[Osfala]] to the Eastern Palace, where he is under threat of attack from Yuga. He sends Link to warn the [[Sage]], whom he meets at the entrance to the Palace. Osfala shoves him off however, forcing Link to complete the Palace and watch the Sage be transformed into a painting by Yuga. Link is soon transformed into a painting much like the Captain; however, Ravio's Bracelet saves Link and allows him to escape the wall and transform into a painting whenever he chooses to.
