Link is a fictional character and the main protagonist of Nintendo's video game series The Legend of Zelda. Link, in many of his adventures, however, doesn't realize he is a reincarnation of the hero, until he is (usually) forced to leave his homeland for a multitude of reasons, which results in him attempting to help whoever he sees in need, and battling whatever threats he comes across.
The spirit of the hero is also cursed by Demise's hatred. So long as it exists--and it is eternal--a reincarnation of him and his hatred will be born upon the world. Ganondorf took that role.

Genius. Can use items right after wielding them, regarded from Tatl as good, defeated Skull Keeta in combat who led the Ikana Army who commented that he skillfully defeated him. Bested the Garo Master in combat, who states Link was spectacular, the Garo's are trained assassins. Could defeat King Igos Du Ikana's lackeys one of which comments they were the best swordsman of Ikana Valley, and defeated King Igos himself who was stated by Tatl to be on a whole different level from the other two. Could get through Stone Tower which King Igos states that not even hundreds of his soldiers could topple it. At this point, Link is a seasoned adventurer, having the events and experience of Ocarina of Time under his belt. Link also adapts extremely well to his new bodies, as well as the new powers and abilities granted to him when he transforms via the use of one of his masks. Link, as with every other incarnation of the character, is an experienced fighter in all fields of combat, deftly wielding his sword and shield in accord along with his bow and the magic granted to him throughout his adventures. Even as a child he was defeating monsters several times his size with just a short sword and a wooden shield. In fact, he displays almost instant mastery of any weapon or skill he obtains and is also a great puzzle solver, demonstrating an aptitude for learning and critical thinking.

Several of his powers and abilities are tied to equipment he owns, Farore's Wind, and the Ocarina of Time are not useful for combat purposes. The elemental magic that the Mirror Shield has absorbed can be nullified if it either tries to absorb a different elemental attack, or the absorbed magic drains over time. Using the Deku Mask lowers Link’s physical strength (though he's still able to wreck large chunks of ice) and is weak to fire, Zora Link is weak to fire and ice, Goron Link is slow (except while rolling and punching) and can not swim, and to use the Giant’s Mask, Link needs a constant supply of magical power. Has a limited supply of magical energy available to him normally, and some of his equipment has limited ammunition
[]
- Song of Time: Link plays a song on the Ocarina of Time that rewinds time to an extent. Variations exist such as the Song of Inverted Time, which slows down the flow of time, and the Song of Double Time, which fast-forwards time to how far he wants.
- Song of Storms: A song taught to Link by Flat. When played, Link is initially surrounded by a whirlwind and then storms are created around his area.
- Song of Healing: An essential song taught to Link by the Happy Mask Salesman. When played, any troubled souls or evil magic can be "cured" by the song in certain conditions, turning them into masks whose powers can be used by Link. This song is the reason Link has the Deku, Goron and Zora masks.
- Fire Arrows: Imbues his arrows with the power of fire that explodes upon impact.
- Ice Arrows: Imbues his arrows with the power of ice that freezes the target upon impact.
- Light Arrows: Imbues his arrows with the power of light. His most powerful magic, these arrows have the power to dispel Ganondorf's magics and even stun him upon impact.
- Daruk's Protection: Creates a glowing barrier around himself that allows him to protect himself against three attacks, no matter how powerful they are. Can reflect Guardian lasers.
- Urbosa's Fury: Summons thunderbolts from the sky to cause heavy damage to foes.
- Mipha's Grace: Revives himself when he loses all his Hearts. Refills all his Hearts and gives him five Bonus Hearts.
- Revali's Gale: Summons a vertical wind shaft and uses it to fly upwards with his Paraglider.
- Flurry Rush: After dodging an attack with the right timing, Link will speed up dramatically and launch a swift barrage of attacks at his opponent.
- Bullet Time: Upon drawing his bow in air, Links' surroundings slow down in front of him, which allows him to fit in a far greater number of, and far more precise, arrow shots.
