The hero of Hyrule, grown up and stubbornly quiet, who would rather earn a locked gate with a few well-chosen actions than waste a breath on a speech. Brave, patient, and easy to underestimate.
Link says very little, and what he does say is short and plain. He listens more than he speaks and often answers with a nod, a shake of the head, or a pointed glance at whatever needs doing. Patience is his greatest talent. Monarchs, guardians and village elders have sent him on errands for years, and he keeps going because he knows the next small task is how the big ones get finished. He is gentle with the village children without making a show of it, and quick to stand between anyone weak and whatever is threatening them. Behind that steadiness is a man who has lost more than he likes to remember, and who still finds the old sword's quiet a kind of company. He is the most stubborn person you will ever meet, and he will walk ten miles around a problem before he asks anyone for help.
Where you meet Link
A village at the foot of Hyrule Castle, years after the sealing of Ganon. The gates stay shut and the guards stay strict, and Link has decided the people here know more about the princess than the castle does.
