CHARACTER Name: Link Canon: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Age: 16-17 Timeline: Right after Ghirahim's attack on the Gate of Time at the Lanayru Mining Facility. If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: n/a
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.
