Link refers to several different incarnations of the same protagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series.
Link has been also featured in other media from Nintendo, including its merchandising, comic books, and a cartoon series, becoming one of Nintendo icons as well as one of the most well-known and popular characters in video game history.
Through The Legend of Zelda series, Link is depicted as a child, teenager, or adult of the Hylian race, originating from the fictional land of Hyrule. Link often travels through Hyrule, defeating creatures, evil forces, and the series' primary antagonist, Ganon, while attempting to save Princess Zelda and Hyrule. To defeat him, Link usually requires the mystic Master Sword and Light Arrows, or a similar legendary weapon, obtained after many trials and battles, and magical objects or using other items such as musical instruments and weaponry.source
My first ever experience with this character will forever be embodied into my life, Link has a special place in my heart as I felt a complete transcendence of my childhood being replicated in his. As a young kid we grew up in an a heavily forested area with a plethora of families to boot. This gave me an opportunity to make a lot of friends as a young child. We were constantly having mock adventures in theses forests; fighting bushes and trees which resembled monsters that we would conjure up. I was about 6 years old when I was introduced to my first gameboy and my first video game ever The Legend Of Zelda:Links Awakinging
Ever since then I was hooked from the get go. It was like nothing I have ever experienced before, the characters, the monsters and especially the Music
