Link, also known as the Hero of the Wild, is the main protagonist of the "Era of the Wilds" saga within The Legend of Zelda franchise.
He is the latest known chronological incarnation of Link in The Legend of Zelda timeline, who serves as the appointed knight of Princess Zelda and one of the Champions of Hyrule determined to defeat Calamity Ganon.
However, in a decisive confrontation with a corrupted Guardian who was attacking him and the princess, Link refused to give up protecting Zelda and was badly wounded. He was sent to the Shrine of Resurrection where he slept for 100 years, when he awoke with amnesia. After freeing the Divine Beasts and recovering his memories, Link defeated Ganon, allowing Zelda to seal him away for good.
Several years later, he and Zelda were investigating a new phenomenon called Gloom underneath Hyrule Castle, where they would encounter a mysterious mummy who drew out all of the strength of him and separated him from Zelda. However, someone rescued him, and when Link awakened he would embark on a journey to find Zelda and uncover the mysteries of her disappearance.
His vocal effects were provided by Kengo Takanashi.
