THE LEGEND OF ZELDA - Master Sword Link Zelda Sword

INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHARACTER

Link, born in the tribe of the... Hylia (humans with pointed ears so that they can hear the voices of the gods), as shown in Ocarina of Time He is in a childlike form in some episodes, in others he is an adult (always in... Ocarina of Time It is both adult and child, in The Wind Waker We find him again as a boy. Link has never spoken during the games, leaving an aura of mystery around his character. Shigeru Miyamoto, his creator, explained that a silent Link would help the player better identify with the protagonist. Throughout the entire saga, Link speaks only twice: In The Adventure of Link, where in a village house he will find a mirror under a table and say, "I found a mirror under the table" («Ho trovato uno specchio sotto il tavolo») and in The Wind Waker, when he has to be followed by a partner and shouts "Come on!!".

The first link in chronological order is that of Skyward Sword; in order of release, it is that of The Legend of Zelda .

The series features different Links; in fact, each game presents a different Link, each belonging to a different era. In every game, however, the hero wears a green tunic, a hood of the same color, brown boots, and a belt. His ears are pointed, similar to those of a... elf. The hair is almost always blonde, except in the earlier games of the series where it was dark blonde, while his eyes are blue. Link also possesses a piece of the Triforce, The sacred relic around which the story of the game revolves: there are three pieces, each corresponding to the virtue of its bearer. In Link's case, it is the Triforce of Courage.

From Ocarina of Time A faithful companion of Link is introduced, the horse. Epona, used to move quickly throughout the kingdom of Hyrule. Link's recurring weapon in the series is the Master Sword, enchanted and legendary sword that exorcises evil, forged by ancient sages. At the end of each game, Link places the sword back in its original pedestal—except in Majora's Mask—waiting for the Link of another era (and another game) to wield it. Therefore, all Links share the fact that they have held the same single sword, except for the one in Majora's Mask. Throughout the course of the legend, all incarnations of Link acquire a special title. For example, the Link of the era of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask He is called the "Hero of Time," while the Link of the era of Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass is called the "Hero of the Wind," while in Twilight Princess He is called the "Hero chosen by the Goddesses."

Outside of the main series, Link has appeared in various fighting games including Super Smash Bros. including all the sequels and Soul Calibur II. The character of Link is also mentioned in video games and cartoons outside the series.
