"This is but one of the legends of which the people speak..."
Link is a Hylian boy at the age of 12, and is the Waker of The Winds. When he came of age, he was given the clothing of the Hero of Time to wear on his birthday. Although Link didn't want to wear the tunic all day, that was the least of his concerns when his younger sister, Aryll, got kidnapped by a giant bird on their home of Outset Island. Tetra, a young pirate, let Link ride aboard her ship with her pirate crew. Little did Tetra know, was that she was the legendary Princess of Hyrule, Zelda. Link's quest was to stop the evil Ganon from spreading darkness across the world once again and revive the Triforce, wielding the Master Sword at hand. Link was accompanied by the King of Red Lions, a talking boat who is actually the King of Hyrule, going by the same name.
