"Appearances" was the heading for the games below, so I just moved all of the info up a bit. We could put it under the heading of "Character" or some better word that I can't think of at the moment if you want. Also, SS section sounds a bit outdated.

Link is the hero and main protagonist of [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,]] starting off as a [[Hylian (Race)|Hylian]] kid living in [[Kokiri Forest]] along with the [[Kokiri]]. He gains the [[Kokiri Sword]] and [[Deku Shield]] and goes to the [[Great Deku Tree]] to break the curse on the Great Deku Tree. After he does, he gets the first [[Spiritual Stones|Spiritual Stone]], the [[Kokiri's Emerald]], and heads for [[Princess Zelda]]. Zelda tells him to find the other two Spiritual Stones and bring them to her. After he finds them, he goes to Zelda to give her the Spiritual Stones. However, Zelda is being chased by [[Ganondorf]] and throws Link the [[Ocarina of Time]]. She then telepathically teaches him a song that will open the door to the Sacred Realm and tells him to go there and get the Triforce before Ganondorf. He does so, without realizing that Ganondorf followed him into the [[Sacred Realm]]. He takes the [[Master Sword]] from its [[Pedestal of Time|pedestal]], but it didn't recognize him as the [[Hero of Time]] because Link was too young so his Spirit was stored for seven years. He has to awaken five [[Sages]] to go to [[Ganon's Castle]], save Princess Zelda, and slay Ganondorf.

The Minish Wood is where the legendary [[Picori]] are said to reside. On the way he encounters the strange talking cap [[Ezlo]]. After saving the cap from some Octorocks, Ezlo declares that the two can help each other and jump up on Link's head. And thus, with his trademark cap on his head (altough a living one) Link's quest starts for real. With Ezlo's help, Link can switch from normal size to Picori size. The two venture out to reforge the broken Picroi Blade and infuse it with the four elements. After this is done and the Four Sword has been created from the Picori Blade, Link enters the final dungeon, Dark Hyrule Castle. At last he saves Princess Zelda. However, Vaati has absorbed a good deal of the legendary Light Force that was residing in none other than Zelda, and transforms into the Wind Mage Vaati. Link manages to seal Vaati away.

It so happens that the cap Vaati was wearing was Ezlo's invention, a cap able to grant wishes. The cap is purified by Zelda and she uses it to purify the lands of Hyrule. Ezlo, who was cursed by Vaati, returned into what he really was... a Picori. This year was special, as the door between the Picori and the big world was opened. But the door would soon close, and Ezlo must hurry if he wants to return to his people. However, before he left he created a parting gift for Link, a green cap. After remarking that it looked good on Link, Ezlo left.

While Link and Zelda are riding off through the clouds, a sudden tornado is summoned, causing Zelda to fall off her bird and get sucked down into the land below. Link goes after Zelda, but appears to be knocked out cold by the huge fall. He is awakened by [[Fi]], the spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]], who then accompanies Link throughout his quest, serving as his spiritual guide. Link also comes across an old man known as Gaepora who is living in Skyloft and is Zelda's father. He entrusts him with his signature green tunic.

Link travels down to the land below in search of Zelda. Throughout his quest, he uses a standard set of inventory items that he upgrades along the way as he battles through the overworld and dungeons, attempting to save Hyrule from the evil that lurks there. Part of his quest takes him to the [[Silent Realm]], where he must collect Tears of Light and avoid guardians without the aid of his sword or other items. He fights many foes along the way, but perhaps the Demon Lord Ghirahim is one of the most powerful. [[Ghirahim]] is also in search of Zelda and has no problem bringing Link within an inch of his life. He wants to ressurrect his master, [[Demise]], who is the strongest foe Link meets in this journey. It's up to our hero to defeat Ghirahim, Demise, rescue Zelda, and save the lands of Skyloft and Hyrule.
