Template:Character The Knight of Hylia, also known as Hylia's Chosen Hero, is the title of the incarnation of Link who was chosen by the Goddess Hylia thousands of years ago prior the events of Skyward Sword.[1]

History

Skyward Sword

Not much is known about Knight of Hylia's story. However, it is heavily implied that was born on the Surface during the Era of the Goddess Hylia. It was known that Her Grace made him her chosen hero. She then gave her Sailcloth to him long ago as said in legends.[1] The Knight of Hylia fought with the Goddess Hylia during the war against the Demon King and somehow died, leaving the Hylia the only one left to protect the world against Demise.[citation needed]

Other Appearances

Skyward Sword Manga

In the Skyward Sword manga by Akira Himekawa, it is confirmed that the Knight of Hylia was a Link. Link was born on a world known as the Land of Hylia. He lived his life in a city from the world below the clouds.[2] Link became a Knight of Hylia and was popular and respected by the Hylia people from the city and regarded as a hero. Just until one day, the hero was found imprisoned by the people of the city for 4 years, since his sword, Orville, was broken, and was decieved by Lord Dagianis, who was killed 4 years later by Demise. After his death, the peole came to free the Knight of Hylia from his prison and state that he is the only one to save the Land of Hylia from Demise's army of monsters, then give him his repaired sword and his clothes.[3][4][5][6] The Knight of Hylia, Link, appears in front of many people on top of the castle, cheering up for the hero.
