Link is a [[Hylian]] with an unknown past, living as a humble traveler. At the beginning of the game, he is 10 years old - while travelling through [[Lesser Hyrule]], he encounters an old woman being attacked by monsters; Link intervenes, and saves her. The old woman thanks him, explaining she is [[Impa (The Legend of Zelda)|Impa]], the trusted nursemaid of [[Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)|Princess Zelda]]; the evil [[Ganon (The Legend of Zelda)|Ganon]] had invaded the kingdom with an army of monsters, and won due to bearing the [[Triforce of Power]]. Zelda was captured, but she split the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] into eight [[Triforce Shard|Triforce Shards]] and hid them in dungeons around the kingdom to keep it safe. Impa had been sent to find a hero with the courage to oppose Ganon.

Link accepted his role as the hero, and armed with only his [[Wooden Shield]] and a [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|Sword]] given to him by an [[Old Man]], journeyed across Lesser Hyrule to search for the eight dungeons. He found that the kingdom was mostly abandoned and swarming with monsters - only a few Hylians remained, hidden in caves and underground chambers to remain safe, who would sell Link their goods - he also met two more old men, who gave him the [[White Sword]] and [[Magical Sword]], respectively. In the dungeons, Link obtained various [[Item|equipment]], such as the [[Boomerang]] (and later the [[Magical Boomerang]]), [[Bomb]]s, [[Bow]], [[Raft]], [[Ladder]], [[Recorder]], [[Magical Rod]], [[Red Candle]], [[Book of Magic]], and the [[Magic Key]], and defeats monsters such as [[Aquamentus (The Legend of Zelda)|Aquamentus]], [[Dodongo (The Legend of Zelda)|Dodongo]], [[Manhandla (The Legend of Zelda)|Manhandla]], [[Gleeok (The Legend of Zelda)|Gleeok]], [[Digdogger (The Legend of Zelda)|Digdogger]], and [[Gohma (The Legend of Zelda)|Gohma]].

Eventually, Link manages to recover the completed Triforce of Wisdom. He travels to [[Spectacle Rock]] atop [[Death Mountain]], and gains access to [[Level 9: Death Mountain|Ganon's lair]]. Link fights his way through, discovering the [[Silver Arrow]]s and the [[Red Ring (The Legend of Zelda)|Red Ring]] along his way, before finally coming face-to-face with Ganon. The completed Triforce of Wisdom temporarily neutralised the Triforce of Power, enabling Link to fight Ganon - with the help of the Silver Arrows, he slew Ganon, retrieving the Triforce of Power from his ashes. Link then freed Princess Zelda from her cell - she thanked Link for his courage, giving him the title "Hero of Hyrule", and they use their respective Triforce pieces to restore peace to Hyrule.
