Background: Link is a resident of the floating island called Skyloft. Born and raised in the clouds, and like most other residents, Link gets around by riding the back of a giant bird called a 'Loftwing'. Traditionally, these birds select their owner during a ceremony. Link's Loftwing, colored red, is a variety of Loftwing thought to be extinct. During the ceremony, the bird landed before Link and immediately a deep bond between Loftwing and boy was made.
Link is a Knight in training at the Skyloft Knight's Academy. His days are spent studying the skies and the code of ethics established from the Knights of old. He is a gifted hand at the sword, and is known for being a quick learner. Nothing is known of his parents, or other relatives for that matter. It is revealed later in the story that Link comes from a line of knights who once resided in Hyrule, more specifically a single knight (also named Link) who rose above the countless troops of evil to protect the land of Hyrule and the Goddess Hylia. Giving his life to fight, the Knight Link was blessed by the Goddess Hylia to be reincarnated at a time when his courage and strength would be needed once more, and so the Link in Skyloft was born.
Being the childhood friend of Zelda has brought him a lot of teasing and bullying while growing up, and being very quick skilled has not helped either. Link has been a long standing rival with the vain and boisterous Groose, a fellow knight at the academy, and it causes a great deal of fights and scuffles for the both of them.
Abilities: Link is a brilliant swordsman, but is also a very talented archer. His aim is like that of a hawk, as his accuracy seldom misses (since the game allows you to pinpoint targets, I'm headcannoning it as such so please forgive me XD). He's quite atheletic and dexterous, able to tumble and crawl and scale every nook and crany of a dungeon, island, what have you. He's also a brilliant mind at riddles and puzzle solving, facing challenges which require quick thinking or a sharp wit with ease. He's able to mount and ride a giant bird, so he has some skill at taming wild animals, as well as caring for them and being able to commincate with them. He also has a knack for being able to approach and speak with anyone, a great social skill to have in a world that has been broken and spread apart. He is able to fall great distances and suffer minor damage, and with the proper equipment at his disposal he is able to withstand extreme temperatures of heat as well as being able to swim underwater for inhuman amounts of time without air. Having been the Chosen Hero of the Goddess, he is able to commuicate with Other-Worldly and God-like beings that normal humans or Skyloftians cannot see. He is imbued with a level of courage that most people cannot muster, and it allows him to face the most horrific or dangerous of situations with little hesitation.
