Character (Original Universe)
Name: Link
Age: Approximately 18
Gender: Male
Canon: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Canon Point: After restoring the Master Sword to its full power.
History: Here.
Personality:
Though a silent protagonist in the game, there is much to Link's personality that is learned through the interactions with fellow Skyloftians and characters awaiting in the world below. Not one for routine, Link is a bit of a layabout, as he is introduced at the beginning of the game as a constant over-sleeper. From Zelda's complaints, he is often late to appointments or tests, showing that he has a lack of concern to important matters. He's quite lazy, but has a knack for being quick to learn and skills seem to come naturally to him. This greats a great rivalry or dislike of him from his other classmates, who constantly bully or tease him. His relationship with Zelda is very close, and this also causes a bit of a rift with the other Knights in training (since every one wants the affection of the young girl). He is a kind hearted student, polite and courteous to all his instructors and his fellow knights, even the bossy and aggressive Groose. Even after Groose attempts a stunt in trying to knock him out of the Knight Academy's final test, which could have resulted in killing him. Link jumps to the aide of his hometown bully when the two of them become stranded in the world below Hyrule, showing that regardless of how he is treated he is quick to forgive. In fact, they even become a solid team, show casing Link's ability to ally with just about anyone if the need should arise.
His heart lacks darkness or evil, as is proof of his ability to stand on the sacred grounds of the numerous temples created by the Goddess Hylia. Evil cannot stand in these places of purity, yet Link can walk among them freely (as long as he gets through the treacherous dungeon before it, of course). Even with purity and courage on his side, Link begins the story of this game as a reluctant hero. The countless times he is confronted by the right hand of Demise, Ghirahim, Link is impetuous and quick to leap before thinking (and it costs him dearly during the confrontation at the Gate of Time). Due to self-doubt and partial insecurity from losing Zelda in an unexpected storm, Link carries a wealth of blame toward himself which does cause a great deal of conflict with him being able to seek and pursue after his childhood friend.
The chosen Hero of the Goddess is also a clumsy graduat, but he becomes a courageous and reliable hero. Through the many hardships and challenging trials, Link becomes a true savior after courageously facing down the Demon Lord Demise with little more than a hope and a prayer. He is seldom one to become angry or aggitated, and only seems to become so when Zelda is in danger. He isn't usually cool or calm when danger arises, but as is proven by the many battles he has had, he will do what it takes when the time is right.
As commented by his sword instructor, Link is a gifted swordsman with adaptabiility and skill, making him a knight of quick wit and ingenuity. Blessed with an intelligent mind for solving problems and puzzles (even if the puzzle solving is based upon the player playing the game), he is able to come across any trial or situation and walk away from it with only minor scratches and bruises. It is odd, though, that not even once during the course of the game do we see Link cry or distraught. After Zelda seals herself into an unbreakable seal, Link spends only a short time in wallowing over his loss before finding the resolve to move forward with his own strength. It shows a great deal of conviction and understanding, showing the player that even in the darkest of times that we must move forward for the greater good.
Background: Link is a resident of the floating island called Skyloft. Born and raised in the clouds, and like most other residents, Link gets around by riding the back of a giant bird called a 'Loftwing'. Traditionally, these birds select their owner during a ceremony. Link's Loftwing, colored red, is a variety of Loftwing thought to be extinct. During the ceremony, the bird landed before Link and immediately a deep bond between Loftwing and boy was made.
Link is a Knight in training at the Skyloft Knight's Academy. His days are spent studying the skies and the code of ethics established from the Knights of old. He is a gifted hand at the sword, and is known for being a quick learner. Nothing is known of his parents, or other relatives for that matter. It is revealed later in the story that Link comes from a line of knights who once resided in Hyrule, more specifically a single knight (also named Link) who rose above the countless troops of evil to protect the land of Hyrule and the Goddess Hylia. Giving his life to fight, the Knight Link was blessed by the Goddess Hylia to be reincarnated at a time when his courage and strength would be needed once more, and so the Link in Skyloft was born.
Being the childhood friend of Zelda has brought him a lot of teasing and bullying while growing up, and being very quick skilled has not helped either. Link has been a long standing rival with the vain and boisterous Groose, a fellow knight at the academy, and it causes a great deal of fights and scuffles for the both of them.
Abilities: Link is a brilliant swordsman, but is also a very talented archer. His aim is like that of a hawk, as his accuracy seldom misses (since the game allows you to pinpoint targets, I'm headcannoning it as such so please forgive me XD). He's quite atheletic and dexterous, able to tumble and crawl and scale every nook and crany of a dungeon, island, what have you. He's also a brilliant mind at riddles and puzzle solving, facing challenges which require quick thinking or a sharp wit with ease. He's able to mount and ride a giant bird, so he has some skill at taming wild animals, as well as caring for them and being able to commincate with them. He also has a knack for being able to approach and speak with anyone, a great social skill to have in a world that has been broken and spread apart. He is able to fall great distances and suffer minor damage, and with the proper equipment at his disposal he is able to withstand extreme temperatures of heat as well as being able to swim underwater for inhuman amounts of time without air. Having been the Chosen Hero of the Goddess, he is able to commuicate with Other-Worldly and God-like beings that normal humans or Skyloftians cannot see. He is imbued with a level of courage that most people cannot muster, and it allows him to face the most horrific or dangerous of situations with little hesitation.
Third-Person Sample: Here, and in case that isn't good:
The summer air filled his nostrols with the sweet smell of fresh gress and open streams. Though it was not Skyloft, Link could not help but feel nostalgic as he walked about casually admidst the many avenues and side streets. It was perpetually this time of year in Skyloft, but he had since learned that, much like the world below, different weather patterns came and went with the passing of months here in the city.
He couldn't imagine a blanket of white covering the rooftops, or a season of storms practically drowning the sidewalks and open wells. He didn't wish for time to rush itself on account of his curiosity, but it certainly piqued his interest when reading about Winter and Fall in the city's library. Having to root through the massive wealth of texts per the recommendation of the other citizens, Link would clearly be experiencing manner strange and exotic things in this closed-off city.
Snow could wait. Squalls could take their time. The one thing Link desired to see more than anything else wasn't something that science or nature could simply produce.
As Link walked, his head hung low, he wished he could see 'her' face just once more. Whether it be in the sun, or the light of the moon, or amongst the amber colored leaves.
Mognet Sample:
Dear Zelda,
I hope this letter finds you well, as it has been some time since we parted ways to move Southward. The road has been difficult, but nothing that the few of us aren't unable to handle. Many of the party members have begun talking of the cities soon coming over the horizon. I'm unsure of how far along you are now, but I do hope your travels have been such as adventurous. Don't worry. I haven't been oversleeping. Thankfully, the others have made sure that I'm not lazing about, so it's almost as if I'm traveling with you.
I hope to see you soon. Please take care and stay safe. I've attached with this letter a few drawings of fauna I've seen along our trip. It isn't much, but I hope you like them.
