Champion of Hyrule

Link has been the hero of hyrule ever since 1986. in most incarnations, he is the owner of the Triforce of courage, with Princess Zelda owning the Triforce of wisdom, and Ganon in most of his forms owning the Triforce of power.

## personality

in any of his forms, link is always courageous in going into battle with darkness. he is also known to be kindhearted. in all of his cannon incarnations, he is mute, with the exceptions of grunt-like sounds and speech bubble dialogue.

## appearance

in most games, link sports a green hat and tunic, with brown pants. he has had variations of this article of clothing, such as a darker green for twilight princess. another thing that can be inconsistent is his looks, as there are various incarnations of him, such as Toon link and Young link.

the most unique appearance is in breath of the wild. the basic outfit is a blue tunic, tan pants, and occasionally a black hood. along with the fact he can put on numerous articles of clothing, such as armor, cross-dressing to get into a female only town, and unique articles of clothing from previous games, such as majora's mask and the shirt worn by link before his adventure starts in the wind waker.

## Non-cannon appearances

#### Super Smash Bros.

link is one of the 8 fighters you start out with. He has 3 alt costumes which has him wearing the same clothing but it's red, white, or blue. he is the sole representative of the legend of Zelda series, and is considered a balanced character, however, in this game he has a reputation of not being a good character, with most ranking him at 11/12, being above Luigi. his appearance is based on his appearance from Ocarina of time. his Moveset consists of him swinging his sword, throwing a boomerang, and throwing bombs.

#### Super Smash Bros. Melee

link once again appears in smash melee, now able to use a bow by using his neutral special. he also appears in the "story mode" of smash melee as a Mini-boss. he also gains another alt costume, this time black. his ranking is higher, now 18/25. he also has 3 trophies, one of them him standing, one of him in an action pose, and one where he is in a red costume doing the down air.

main article: Young link (smash bros.)

Link also appears in his younger form from OOT, young link. he can use the same gear, but he uses the Kokiri sword and Deku shield. when he fires his bow, he uses fire arrows instead of normal arrows. he has the same alt. costumes as link, and he ranks 16/25, 2 places above link. the 3 trophies he has are him standing bravely, holding out Lon Lon milk, and him in blue clothing with a empty bottle.

#### Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Nintendo ditches the Ocarina of time look for the newly made (at that time) twilight princess look. his boomerang now brings people to him, and the final smash is now introduced. link's final smash involves him slashing forward and trapping someone in the triforce, then constantly slashing. instead of having an alt. with black clothing, that is replaced with the ability to play as Dark Link,
