ABOUT

An accomplished swordsman and survivalist. Link has been training to be a Knight since he was young, following in his father's footsteps. He became the chosen wielder of the Master Sword around age 12 or 13, and has done his best to live up to the expectations set for the role ever since. In recognition of his service, he's appointed as Princess Zelda's knight protector...much to the Princess's dismay. As they travel through Hyrule, looking for ways to stop the oncoming Calamity, their relationship warms a little and they appoint four Champions to help in their quest. When the day of Calamity Ganon's uprising finally comes, the Champions and the Princess give it their all...but one by one, each one falls to Ganon's power. Link's final stand leaves him inches from death, and Zelda has him taken to the Shrine of Resurrection. When he wakes, a hundred years have passed, and he must begin his quest to save Hyrule anew; in the process, he must recover his strength and regain his memories of his past.

First impressions of Link often describe him as quiet, serious, and dedicated. After the rise of Calamity Ganon, most people might add weird to that list. He often maintains a serious expression whether he’s sincere or trolling.



ABILITIES

Link is a skilled swordsman, archer, fighter, weaponist, and survivalist. Even when he's not wearing pants. He's clever, and excels in methods of fighting monsters that rely on improvisation, sneak attacks, and using his environment to help him fight. He's also skilled at climbing, and seems comfortable even at extreme heights. Some might call him unflappable. Those people have not encountered his lack of social skills.

Link also has access to four abilities given to him by the four Champions. They are:
Mipha's Grace: restores Link to full health
Revali's Gale: creates a burst of wind that Link can ride using his paraglider
Daruk's Protection: forms a shield that protects Link from any one attack
Urbosa's Fury: summons a burst of lightning


In Songerein, Link has expanded these abilities with the use of the in-game "magic" system, Dreamotion. He is able to heal others with Mipha's Grace, yeet things with Revali's Gale, protect one other person in his immediate vicinity with Daruk's Protection, and more closely mimic Urbosa's precision with Urbosa's Fury. He is also able to summon arrows of light, and will eventually be able to do sword beams as well.

Whatever random crap's in his pockets. Rupees? Keese eyeballs? Hylian shrooms? A literal whole butterfly??? Thanks, Past Link, these are real helpful.




SHIPPING PREFS

I'm very open to shipping with Link in game, memes, and PSLs, and play him as bisexual and very slightly gender nonconforming. Will ship M/F, M/M, M/NBi. Preferences for canon shipping partners: Zelda, Mipha, Sidon, and Revali. His general types are smol smart femmes and very tol himbo mascs. Would happily ship him with human/Hylian partners or nonhuman. Generally not interested in smut with him. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to set something up or chat about compatibility or something!
