Link
Link is the protagonist of Nintendo's classic role-playing adventure game the legend of Zelda.
Character setting
name
Link means "the connection between game and player" and "the connection between time and space". But the name of link is just a nickname, which is the default name of the protagonist in the legend of Zelda. Players can customize the name for it in the game.
It's not unique
Link is not just a person, which is the interpretation of custom naming. Just like in Princess dusk, the name of Epona can be customized, which shows that Epona in this generation of games is different from other works.
Each of the works listed below is the same link
Link in legend of Zelda 1 and legend of Zelda 2: link's Adventure

Link in the rest of the wilderness
appearance
Blonde, left-handed (from producer Mauro Miyamoto as left-handed, right-handed in Wii version of Princess dusk and sword of the sky due to somatosensory operation, and right-handed in rest of the wilderness), blue eyes in most games (black eyes in the cat's eye link series represented by wand of the wind), pointed ears (from the essence of European Legends) Spirit man). In the world setting of the legend of Zelda, it belongs to the hyrian and lives in the Hyrule.
be dressed in
The design inspiration of this image comes from Peter Pan who is wearing green clothes and hats in European fairy tales. Some works have other colors and different costumes. China cuckold game player as everyone knows, but the Chinese make complaints about it.
equipment
Sword (in the scabbard on the back, the representative sword is the master's sword), shield (in the back, the representative shield is hailia's shield), and a variety of special props, among which bow, arrow and bomb are the most famous.
character
Like many traditional Japanese RPGs, such as "fairy Baoke dream" and "the brave fight against the dragon" series, link can't speak. The purpose is to strengthen the sense of substitution of the game, connect link with the player himself, and make the character of the player become link's character to a certain extent. Usually, the conversation with NPC is dominated by NPC. In a few cases, players will have the right to choose the dialogue options. Link sometimes uses gestures to express his ideas. In addition, a sense of mission is the main character of link.
If carefully observed, the impression of each generation of link on character is different.
sleep
The legend of Zelda always begins with link's sleep. Link wakes up from his dream, while players fall into the dream of the legend of Zelda. The sword of the sky clearly points out that this generation of link loves to sleep in.
status
Link is an indispensable part of a series of world views. The world of the legend of Zelda revolves around the story of the devil (the villain represented by Ganon, representing power), the princess (Princess Zelda, representing wisdom), the brave (link, the object controlled by players, representing courage) and the triangle power.
In sword of the sky, which is the beginning of the series of time axes, demise casts a curse when he is about to die. He who inherits the blood of the goddess (Zelda) and the soul of the brave (link) can never escape the hatred and resentment of the demons until the end of time. This is why in the history of Hailar, the demon king is constantly reviving, and the princess of the royal family is rarely peaceful, and linck has come forward from generation to generation. Strength, wisdom and courage go through a complicated cycle in the same world at different times, so Hailar's peace is doomed not to last long.
The soul of the brave
This is the link between the successive links, which can be explained in two ways: the inheritance of spirit, the spirit of bravery left by links from generation to generation, is inherited by the brave links from generation to generation; the inheritance of soul, that is, links of the past dynasties are reincarnated by the original links.
Linck in the past
Legend of Zelda
The design of the early generation of link is quite European and American style, which is very ancient in today's aesthetic view. In the early days, link was just a young man. Under the guidance of the old man in the cave, he embarked on the journey of saving Hailar and princess Selda and defeating the demon king canon. Compared with Zelda, the image of link dressed in green and holding sword and shield has become the standard setting.
Legend of Zelda II
The second generation took place six years after the first generation. Link grew up to be a young man. He wore brown trousers, and the proportion of people's design was much longer. However, the style of painting is still ancient. It's worth mentioning that this work has been changed into a horizontal play, and you can observe link from the perspective of top view and side view. The purpose of link's journey is to awaken Zelda's ancestor in the early works, another Princess Zelda in deep sleep, and to prevent the revival of cannon.
Attachment: link has spoken in this work, which is as strange as Baoke's dream. It is the only one who has a kiss with Zelda. The classic enemy darklink appears for the first time.
The triangle power of the gods
This is a combination of the previous two works, which is the formation of the traditional link. Later, it was transplanted on GBA. In order to meet the needs of modern aesthetics, it made changes in the people's setting and the scene map, which was biased to the traditional Japanese style. Selda gave link a dream and entrusted him to save himself and Hailar, for which link embarked on an adventure.
Appendix: link and his uncle are descendants of the Royal Knights of Hailar; link will become a rabbit in the world.
Zhimeng Island
The link in this work is the link among the gods, and the human setting has not changed. In this work, link goes out to sea and experiences a shipwreck on his way back. He falls into the dream of the fish of the wind, which gradually evolves into a nightmare.
P.S.: this work can also be photographed specifically, but link's style has changed greatly, like childlike. (still cute)
Flute of time
This work is a great change in link's design. Combined with the previous two age groups of link settings, in the game, link appears for the first time in the form of childhood and adulthood (paying homage to the first generation and the second generation). Link of different ages can be transformed through time and space. This Linke make complaints about Western European style. Adult Linke wears tight clothes (though he is tuckus, but belongs to Western European traditional style). In the first 3D legend of Zelda, the embodiment of human settings in the game is more in place. Later, in the replica of flute of time 3D in 3ds, link's modeling is more detailed, especially on the face. Hailar is facing the erosion of ganondorf, and link begins an adventure across time and space.
Attachment: 1. The father of link is a royal Knight of Hailar, who entrusted link to the care of the village of cokery; link among the gods may have blood relationship with link, but he is not a direct descendant;
2. Link's green dress belongs to the dress style of cokery village in the game;
3. Link also has two clothes with different functions: red and blue. The adult link's hair is the longest in history (because he has been sleeping for seven years), but due to his hat, he can't see link's long hair;
4. Because link's setting of crossing time and space, combined with the theory of parallel world, the time axis is divided into three sections here;
5. One of the humanized points is that link, who was just beginning to take risks in his childhood, showed that he was not afraid of tigers. After elder Deku introduced the amazing event, little link just patted his ass and stood up (some players think that this is the performance of an infinite cycle of time line, and link knows his destiny, so he is so calm, but this detailed deduction is not tenable);
6. Another piece of work "soul power" also has the appearance of link. It uses the flute of time, which is designed by young and middle-aged link.
Magic mask
This is a sequel to the flute of time. Although the style of the game is very gloomy, there is no change in the human settings. It is worth mentioning that after wearing some different masks, link's appearance and body shape will change, among which the ghost link is the most famous.
After the story of the flute of time, link was sent back seven years ago. In order to find his missing companion, Neville the spirit, link mistakenly entered the world of taminia, which will be destroyed in three days.
Incredible fruit: Chapter of the earth / chapter of time and space
Although this work is sandwiched between the gods and dream island on the time axis, the human design is a combination of the gods and the flute of time. Because this work is an outsourcing work, maybe the producer didn't think about the timeline at all, but there was no conflict on the timeline. This work is based on the completion of the trial of the triangle power by link in the triangle power of the gods.
Attachment: in the end of the story, link continues to experience himself at sea, and the story of dream island takes place on his return journey. However, this work has been set as an independent work by the official 30th Anniversary Collection, which denies its relationship with dream island and the triangle power of the gods.
Four Swords
The first appearance of toonlink, however, was mainly created for the staff of the wind. This game focuses on the online elements, with a total of four link players (green, blue, red and purple, to create the separation for link to pull up four swords).
