==Summary==
Link is a hero summoned by Impa, the royal nursemaid, to save Princess Zelda from the evil Prince of Darkness, Ganon, who is seeking out the shards of the Triforce of Wisdom. Link finds the pieces before Ganon does, and in the end, destroys the villain with a Silver Arrow, saving Zelda. Link's character and background are given little explanation in the game, although the prologue describes him as "burning with a sense of justice."
Being a sequel set not long after the original game, The Adventure of Link features the same Link as The Legend of Zelda. Link is now fifteen years old, approaching his sixteenth birthday. Although Ganon has been killed, his army of monsters remains active throughout Hyrule. They plan to revive Ganon by spilling the blood of his murderer, Link, onto his ashes. Impa finds a Triforce mark on Link's hand as he approaches his sixteenth birthday, and explains that he is the hero chosen to awaken an ancient Princess Zelda from her sleeping curse by seeking out the Triforce of Courage. Link places a crystal in each of Hyrule's six palaces, ultimately defeats Dark Link, receives the Triforce of Courage, and uses the full Triforce to awaken Princess Zelda. After Link awakened Zelda, she then thanked him as well as called him "a real hero" for saving Hyrule. The curtains then slowly fall with Link and Zelda getting closer to each other afterwards.

*Magical Sword: Link retains this sword from his previous adventure. While at peak condition Link is able to channel his energy through the sword to shoot powerful energy beams, and the sword itself is powerful enough that it's considered the strongest blade when the Master Sword is unavailable.
*Magical Shield: Link retains this sword from his previous adventure. It is magically reinforced, allowing it to block magical attacks and fireballs.
*Handy Glove: A glove that enhances Link's strikes, allowing him to destroy things he can't even dent with the glove.
*Boots: A pair of special boots that allow Link to walk on water.
*Cross: A relic that allows Link to see invisible beings.

Intelligence: Gifted (Can make his way through complex and heavily guarded labyrinths and solve any puzzles he comes across. He is able to quickly master using a sword and various other weapons despite never using them prior and could learn and master new techniques from other swordsmen within just a matter of moments. Is skilled enough to defeat a perfect copy of himself in one on one combat)
Weaknesses: He can only fire his sword beams if he's in peak condition, even the smallest amount of damage will prevent him from being able to shoot beams, has a limited magic pool to draw from and can only cast so many spells before he's unable to cast anymore, his fairy form is too weak to harm most foes as even monsters he can normally deal with without effort prove too durable for his fairy form.

Note #1: Despite obtaining them by the end of the first game, Link does not have the Triforces of Power and Wisdom during his second adventure as it was said in guides that the kingdom of Hyrule retrieved both piecesThe Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia; Page 222 and even the final moments of the first game showed Link handing one of the pieces over to Zelda after he defeated Ganon.
Note #2: The dragon boss Barba was confirmed to simply be another name for Volvagia and that they are indeed the same dragonThe Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia; Page 211.
