'''Link's House''' is a recurring location in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. On most occasions, the player begins the game here, although there are exceptions.

==''A Link to the Past''==
{{Quote|Like other homes in Hyrule, the cottage where Link and his uncle lived was simple. It was furnished with a bed and table, both hand-crafted from logs bought from the lumberjacks in the north. The only unusual furnishing was a finely carved chest that sat in one corner of the room. The home was south of Hyrule Castle, just at the edge of a thick forest where Link and his uncle hunted for their food.|''Nintendo Player's Guide''}}

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Link's House is actually owned by his [[Link's Uncle|Uncle]]. Link is first seen here sleeping, but then [[Zelda (A Link to the Past)|Princess Zelda]] contacts him telepathically and his uncle leaves, telling him to stay put.

Link's house is square and located just south of the [[Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|Hyrule Castle]]. In the bottom-right corner there is a [[Treasure Chest]] containing the [[Lantern]], and at the top beside his bed are three jars containing [[Recovery Heart]]s.

In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (GBA)|Game Boy Advance port]], [[Wooden Carvings]] can be obtained to decorate Link's House by solving [[Q. Bumpkin]]'s [[Riddle Quest]]. This requires an active ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'' file with 10 [[Medal of Courage|Medals of Courage]] on the same cart.

==''Ocarina of Time''==
[[File:Link's House OoT.jpg|thumb|left|Link walking out from his house in ''Ocarina of Time'']]
Link's House in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' is a large treehouse within the [[Kokiri Forest]] with only one circular room like most of the homes of the [[Kokiri]]. It has a bed on one side and a few pots by the wall. Just outside the exit is a porch with a [[ladder]] leading to the ground. At the roots of the tree, there is a picture of a monster destroying a city or town, possibly drawn by [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] himself. Link begins the game here, sleeping in his bed and having a nightmare. [[Navi]] then comes and tells him to visit the [[Great Deku Tree]].

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D|Ocarina of Time 3D]]'', Link can return to his house to sleep in his bed to regain hearts, or to replay previously completed [[boss]] challenges.

==''The Wind Waker''==
{{see also|Cabana}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', Link's House is shared with his [[Grandma]] and his little sister, [[Aryll]], on [[Outset Island]]. While bigger than previous incarnations, Link's House is still small. It has a kitchen with a chair for Grandma and two bunk beds for Link and Aryll. There is a second floor where they hang the family [[shield]] as tradition, as well as multiple [[Pictograph Box|pictograph]]s of the family.

Unlike most games, Link does not start the game here. Instead, he comes after being told by Aryll that Grandma wishes to see him. Here he can receive the [[Hero's Clothes]] and later the shield. Later, Link can also return to heal Grandma with a [[Fairy]] in order to receive [[Elixir Soup]]. He can return during any subsequent visit to get more.

==''The Minish Cap''==
Once again, Link's House is shared with another person. It actually belongs to [[Master Smith]]. At the beginning of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Princess Zelda visits Link's House to invite him to the [[Picori Festival]], and Link agrees, following Zelda out of the house.

This version of Link's House has two stories. The top floor appears to be a residential area, with two beds, one of which Link can sleep on later in his journey to recover lost hearts. The first room on the bottom floor is rather simple, with a table and some storage. Through a door leading to the right, one can find the forge that Master Smith works on. There is a treasure chest in the room containing a [[Rupee|Red Rupee]] and two pots.

==''Twilight Princess''==
[[File:Link's House-TP.jpg|right|280px|thumb|Fado standing in front of Link's House]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Link has his own house that he does not share with anyone, located at the entrance to [[Ordon Village]], near the [[Ordon Woods]]. While the game does not start here, after Link briefly speaks with [[Rusl]] he heads home and wakes up the next morning with [[Fado (Twilight Princess)|Fado]] calling to him. He must then find [[Ilia]], who has taken [[Epona]] to [[Ordon Spring]].

Link's House in this game has three stories and a basement, although the second and third stories are not very large. The basement is very dark and requires the [[Lantern]] to see, but there is a treasure chest containing a [[Rupee|Purple Rupee]], worth fifty rupees, as well as a mirror for Link to see his reflection. There is a window on the top story that Link can look out of down at the ground. In addition, there is also a training area beside Link's House, with a training dummy and multiple targets.

==''Spirit Tracks''==
Link's House in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' is located in [[Aboda Village]], a small town with few residents. Link shares his house with his roommate, [[Niko]]. At the beginning of the game, Niko tells Link the [[Spirit Tracks Story|Story]] of the [[Spirit War]] and the history of the land. However, Link falls asleep during the telling of the story. [[Alfonzo]] then appears to remind Link that today is when he will receive his [[Engineer Certificate]].

Link's home is located in the south-west corner of Aboda Village, near the ocean. The interior of their house has a small table, a fireplace, a pair of beds, and other items scattered about. Many of the objects relate to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', including a picture of Niko when he was younger, as well as a small model of a Pirate Ship, and a [[Telescope]]. Additionally, the [[Ship Part]]s found in the home are a reference to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''.

Niko can be found within Link's house throughout the entirety of the game and Link can return later to collect certain items. Later in the quest, Link will return to Niko and he will give him the [[Stamp Book]]. After acquiring 10 Stamps from various [[Stamp Station]]s, Niko will reward Link with the [[Shield of Antiquity]]. After acquiring 15 Stamps, Link gains the ability to switch between the [[Engineer's Clothes]] and the [[Recruit Uniform]]. After collecting all 20 Stamps, Niko will give Link the [[Swordsman's Scroll]], which contains the [[Great Spin Attack]].

==''Skyward Sword''==
Although Link does not own an actual house in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', he lives in a dormitory in the [[Knight Academy]] on [[Skyloft]]. Link's dorm is simple, with a table and a chair in the corner, as well as a bookshelf with a statue of Link's [[Loftwing]]. Link can find a [[Rupee|Blue Rupee]] inside his closet. There is a window leading to the outside, where [[Zelda's Loftwing]] can deliver mail. Link can return at any point during his journey to sleep in his bed to regain hearts or change the time of day.

==''A Link Between Worlds''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', Link's House is where [[Ravio]] sets up his shop after Link completes the [[Eastern Palace (A Link Between Worlds)|Eastern Palace]]. In the yard, Link has four pots, shrubs, grass, a [[Weather Vane]], and, after activating StreetPass, the apple-bearing [[StreetPass Tree]] next to it. Furthermore, a training dummy and two wooden pegs allow Link to test out and practice his various items.

==''Breath of the Wild''==
[[File:Link-home.jpg|right|280px|thumb|Link in front of his house.]]
Initially Link does not have a home when he wakes in the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] after his hundred-year sleep. He can acquire one in [[Hateno Village]] from [[Bolson Construction]] through the [[Hylian Homeowner]] side-quest for 30 bundles of [[wood]] and 3000 [[rupee]]s for the house, plus 1400 rupees for fittings such as a door and [[bed]]. Previously, the house had been scheduled for demolition, having been left a hundred years before by an owner who, according to [[Karson]], "went off to [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|the castle]] to report for service" and "never came back."

After the [[EX The Champions' Ballad]] [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]] quest is completed, the [[Picture of the Champions]] can be hung on the upper floor of the house, near the window.

Even after the house is purchased, [[Bolson]] and Karson will squat in the front garden, near the [[Cooking Pot]], leaving only to attend [[Hudson]]'s wedding in [[Tarrey Town]]. If spoken to after the ceremony, they will return to the same spot outside Link's house.

==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
{{see also|Home on Arrange}}
Link's house from ''Breath of the Wild'' appears to have been appropriated by [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Princess Zelda]] - it is recognised by those in Tarrey Town as her house, her journal sits on the upper area near the bed, and she had a [[Zelda's Secret Well|"secret well"]] constructed behind the building by Bolson for use as a study; although if the Picture of the Champions was hung on the wall in a ''Breath of the Wild'' playthrough on the same Nintendo Switch account, it is still present. Where Link was housed between games is unclear, as there is still only one single-person bed in the property, although he can freely use the bed during his quest.

Link can purchase a new "[[Dream Home]]" in [[Akkala]], south-east of [[Tarrey Town]], from [[Rhondson]] and [[Granté]]son of [[Hudson Construction]]. The initial purchase includes the plot of land, a foyer and a bedroom for 1500 rupees, which he assembles himself with [[Ultrahand]]. He can add additional rooms or other units up to a maximum of 15, including rooms with [[Cooking Pot]]s, [[Goddess Statue]]s, and stands for weapons, bows & shields; as well as a paddock to keep a [[horse (Breath of the Wild)|horse]].

===''Cadence of Hyrule''===
In ''[[Cadence of Hyrule]]'', Link's House is a location in the southern region of Hyrule. All characters start at Link's House except Zelda, who is forced to flee [[Hyrule Castle (Cadence of Hyrule)|Hyrule Castle]], [[Octavo]], who starts in a [[Fortune Teller's Shop]] run by one of the [[Fates]], [[Skull Kid]], and [[Cadence]] in normal Story Mode. Inside Link's House is the [[Telescope]] which requires a [[Shovel]] to reach, and the [[Shield]] and [[Short Sword]] can be found outside. A [[Piece of Heart]] can be found on a hill that can be climbed using the [[Stone Block]] on the screen. The south exit to the screen is blocked by tree stumps which require a [[Torch]] to get rid of.

In Octavo's Ode, Link can be found in his bed, still under the spell cast by Octavo.
