Link's House

, also known simply as , is a recurring location in . It is Link's place of residence in several games in the series. It is usually located somewhere within the kingdom of Hyrule.
==Features and Overview==
======
Link's House is located in a somewhat central location of Hyrule, with Hyrule Castle nearby in the north in . It is a simple building, containing basic, wooden furniture, and is home to both Link and his uncle. Next to Link's bed, which is situated in the house's northwest corner, are three Pots that each contain a recovery Heart. A Treasure Chest located in the southeast corner of the house contains the Lantern, which will likely be the first item that Link collects in his quest. However, if the Treasure Chest is opened after already receiving the Lantern elsewhere, it will instead contain a Blue Rupee.
At the beginning of the game, Link receives a telepathic plea for help in his sleep from Princess Zelda, who mentions that she has been locked in the dungeon of Hyrule Castle by Agahnim. He wakes up in time to see his uncle about to leave the house, armed with a Sword and Shield. Upon seeing that Link is awake, Link's uncle promises that he will be back by morning and tells Link not to leave the house. Link, however, disobeys his uncle's orders and leaves to investigate the castle. Later, during the game's end credits, Link is shown to be practicing sword fighting with his uncle outside of their home.
Link's House is one of the locations that he can choose to start in when continuing the game, provided that Link is in Hyrule and not the Dark World. Later, after obtaining the Flute, it also becomes one of the locations that Link can be transported to by the Flute Boy's Bird.
In the Dark World, the Bomb Shop corresponds to where Link's House would be located.

 begins with Link being woken up inside his house from a nightmare involving Princess Zelda by Navi the Fairy, on the orders of the Great Deku Tree. Here at Link's House in the Kokiri Forest is where the two companions first meet, although Navi's first insistence is that Link leaves the house to visit the Deku Tree with haste. The house is more or less irrelevant in the game after a point, although an interesting feature that keeps its use alive is a scoreboard within the room, with which Link can inspect his achievements in various mini-games throughout Hyrule. 
When loading a saved game, young Link will begin in his home if the game was saved while he was not in a dungeon. Link can obtain a Cow that stays in his house after beating Malon's record of the obstacle course at Lon Lon Ranch as an adult.
In , Link has the option to sleep in his bed in the house. By doing this he can either recover his health, or access the Boss Challenge Mode, where he can refight any boss which he has defeated in his quest. A Sheikah Stone can also be found just outside his house.

In , Link and his younger sister, Aryll, live with their grandmother in a house on Outset Island. Located at the easternmost point of the island, it is a two-story home with a kitchen and sleeping area on the first floor, with its second floor serving as a loft to keep the family's shield.
Intitially, Link is not at home, having fallen asleep at Aryll's Lookout a day earlier. Aryll soon summons her brother to the house so he can receive the Hero's Clothes from his grandmother. The house becomes fundamental to more elements of the game's plot than most other games in the series, with Link having to return on various occasions to find the Hero's Shield and to release a Bottled Fairy onto his ailing grandmother, resulting in her infinite offerings of free, revitalizing Elixir Soup. A crawl space can also be found under the house, containing a Chest with an Orange Rupee.
Later in the game, Link also receives the Deed from Mrs. Marie to the Cabana on the Private Oasis, thereby making it his. There he gains access to a labyrinth beneath the island, which houses a Triforce Chart. Link can also play a Sliding Puzzle and earn Rupees as a reward in the Cabana.

The basement contains a Treasure Chest with 50 Rupees in it, though the room is so dark that it may require the Lantern to find it. Also in the basement is a large mirror which Link can see his reflection in. Near the beginning of the game, Rusl will deliver the Wooden Sword to Link's House.
