Link is Nintendo's legendary protagonist of The Legend of Zelda video game series. Throughout multiple iterations of games and other media formats like comic books, merchandising, and animated series, Link consistently represents Nintendo as one of its primary iconic characters. Across The Legend of Zelda franchise, Link takes the form of a Hylian youth in several incarnations: child, teenager or young adult from Hyrule, a fictional land. In these roles, he embarks on journeys to save Princess Zelda and Hyrule by vanquishing creatures and forces led by Ganon, Nintendo's notorious villain. Each quest demands acquisition of an iconic, mystical item like the Master Sword and Light Arrows - crucial elements that allow him to ultimately triumph over Ganon after enduring numerous battles. While exploring the narrative landscape of the franchise, Link often develops into an incredibly well-equipped character armed with a myriad range of enchanted items such as powerful magical artifacts, advanced weaponry and other instruments including music, within his heroic quest to save Hyrule. According to the mythological lore of The Legend of Zelda, each hero embodies the essence of reincarnated soul through history - in times when there's dire need for yet another champion born from the earth, a regular-looking young person bears the noble mantle of heroism as new reincarnation incarnates in various eras whenever Hyrule demands heroic intervention. Despite multiple manifestations existing across the franchise, no established genealogical link ties each version; nonetheless, it is noted that within The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, this protagonist stands out uniquely to produce ancestors for his beloved people from the past and gives origin to an archetypal hero clad in iconic green apparel. A manga prequel called 'Hyrule Historia' - set within the world before its actual creation of modern day, however remains unclear on a character with no distinct bloodline identified as any incarnation while aiding Goddess Hylia throughout ages - reveals some glimpses from older, more accomplished legends but is by itself far less defined and not established yet explicitly tied as this very 'hero Link'.
