## Story

In Oot, Link (Child) is given a fairy, Navi, to be escorted to the Great Deku Tree who is being consumed by Queen Ghoma. When Link arrives, he enters the Deku tree, ultimately rising victorious. When Gohma was killed, It still wasn't enough to save the Deku Tree. Upon death, he leaves the Kokori Emerald, which link then brings to Princess Zelda who sends him on a treacherous journey to get the last two spiritual stones. The Goron´s Ruby and the Zora´s Sapphire. Sadly, when he arrived back at the castle to deliver the stones, Zelda was retreating from the castle because Ganondorf had deceived the royal family. When exiting, he confronts Link, using his magic to damage him. When escaping, Zelda had dropped the precious heirloom of the family, The Ocarina of time in the moat of the castle, which Link uses to play the Song of time to open the Door of time, which encases the Master sword. When pulled, he enters a 7 year coma, and awakens in the chamber of sages as an Adult. His main mission now, Is to awaken the five Sages and save Zelda. Once Link frees all five sages and beats all of the temples, Sheik reveals her true identity as Princess Zelda, right before she is trapped in a crystal by Ganondorf. Once Link defeats Ganondorf and Ganon, he exits the castle with Zelda, who, with the sages, seal Ganondorf in the Sacred Realm.

## Relationships

* Princess Zelda Link and Zelda seem to be good friends, as Zelda trusts Link to save Hyrule. Zelda had seen Link in a vision, and knew to trust him. Zelda helps him many times throughout his quest, and it's unknown what happens to their relationship after she sends him back in time, but in other games Zelda and Link are possibly in a romantic relationship.
* Ruto Link meets Princess Ruto of the Zoras when he is a child, and after saving her from Jabu-Jabu's belly, and subsequently Barinade, she gives him the Zora's Sapphire, which serves as an engagement ring for the Zora princess. She considers herself to be engaged to Link, and often flirts with him. Once awoken as a Sage, she expresses her sadness that they cannot wed.
* Malon Malon *may* have a crush on Link, but they just seem like good friends. In Akira Himekawa's *Ocarina of Time* manga, however, the Owl suggests that she does indeed like Link, which he responds to by blushing and acting flustered.
* Saria Link and Saria were best friends as kids. Link was an outcast, but Saria was a good friend of his, always hanging out with him and standing up for him. She even teaches him her special song as a sign of friendship that he can use to contact her. However, as Saria is a Kokiri and Link isn't, he grew up while she stayed a child forever. Saria later awakes as the Forest Sage, meaning the two can't have any further relationship. However, it is unknown what happens after Zelda sends Link back in time at the end of the game.
* Sheik Sheik frequently aids Link on his quest and teaches him a total of six warp songs so he can easily return to all six temples. He is later revealed to be Princess Zelda.
