==History==
Descended from the original chosen hero of Hylia herself, the green-clad swordsman known as Link has served as the sworn protector of Hyrule for untold generations. While his exact age and origin vary across the eras, Link is always depicted as a noble and valiant (if usually silent) hero blessed by the three goddesses of creation, given unique authority to fight against the forces of darkness wherever they may appear. Given the divine right to wield the Triforce of Courage and the Master Sword, the Blade of Evil's Bane, Link's history is one rich in deeds of heroism, slaying vicious monsters seeking to terrorize the innocent, exploring dungeons in the hopes of discovering hidden secrets and vast riches, aiding humble townsfolk in their day-to-day struggles, and doing whatever he can to aid Princess Zelda in restoring order to the land in the face of impending conquest from their arch-nemesis, the demonic warlord Ganon. Though his attempts at bringing peace may be halted by other unforeseen disasters that throw the land into chaos, so long as the echoes of Demise's curse remain to haunt both Hyrule and the lands beyond it, the tales of Hylia's eternal savior will continue to be woven, its tunic-clad hero being reborn time-and-time again to save the world from the clutches of evil.

|-|Deadpool VS Mask=
Link can be seen during Deadpool VS Mask in one of the alternate realities that were shown in the background when Deadpool uses the Continuity Gem. Instead of blocking his opponent's sword strike with the Hylian Shield, Cloud cuts Link cleanly in half without any resistance, making his body produce a geyser of blood.
 
|-|Trunks VS Silver=
The Hero of Time incarnation of Link can be seen within one of the crystals in the Crack of Time, where Xeno Trunks tried to finish off Archie Silver near the end of Trunks VS Silver.
