Link's Incarnations

Not one hero but a lineage of them — farm boys, knights, islanders, and engineers who keep answering the same call across every branch.

  1. Skyward SwordShared Trunk (Before the Split)

    The first hero, whose bond with Zelda and victory over Demise starts the whole cycle.

  2. Ocarina of TimeShared Trunk (Before the Split)

    The Hero of Time — the only Link whose personal choices split history three ways.

  3. Majora's MaskChild Timeline

    The same child hero, further from home than any other Link has ever been.

  4. The Wind WakerAdult Timeline

    The Hero of Winds — no destiny, no bloodline; he earns the title.

  5. Twilight PrincessChild Timeline

    The Hero of Twilight, a ranch hand who fights half the game as a wolf.

  6. Spirit TracksAdult Timeline

    A royal engineer — the most working-class Link on the chart.

  7. Breath of the WildDistant Future (BOTW / TOTK)

    A knight who already failed once, waking from a hundred-year sleep with no memory of it.
