A Link to the Past comic
In the A Link to the Past comic, Link starts out as a simple, bumbling kid who gradually grows more confident about his abilities and succeeds in rescuing Princess Zelda with the help of the friends he makes along his adventure. Like in the game, Link is a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule. In the comic, Link and Zelda have a close bond with one another, as they share a dream together where Zelda comforts the young hero and heals his wounds while searching for the Pendants of Virtue. It is also explained that Link's parents were Knights of Hyrule   but stumbled into the Dark World and, after they disappeared, Link's Uncle adopted him to shield him from the intrigues of the Royal Family.

At the beginning of the comic, Link is awoken as he is contacted telepathically by Princess Zelda, who asks him to save her from Hyrule Castle's prison. Sneaking into the castle, Link witnesses his uncle's defeat against Agahnim and as such passes on his sword and shield to the young hero. Before passing out, Link's Uncle explains that after the young hero rescues Zelda and the people in the Dark World, he might be able to meet his parents. Although Link is successful in rescuing the princess, Agahnim finds her once they reach the Sanctuary and kidnaps her again, with Zelda explaining to Link that the Master Sword is the only weapon that can defeat the evil wizard. Knowing this, Link begins his search for the two remaining Pendants of Virtue to wield the Master Sword after Sahasrahla grants him the Pendant of Courage. Link eventually finds the rest of the Pendants with Sahasrahla's guidance and travels to the Lost Woods, where the Master Sword selects him as its bearer. Although the young hero makes it to Hyrule Castle before Agahnim casts his final incantation on the princess, he is unable to defeat the wizard and Zelda is transported to the Dark World. With the help of Sahasrahla, Link kills Agahnim by deflecting his own magic, but Agahnim, with his final breath, manages to transport Link into the Dark World.

Instead of turning into a rabbit when he stumbles into the Dark World like in the game, Link momentarily turns into a wolf before suppressing his negative emotions and managing to stay in his human  form. He then resumes his search for the princess, and befriends Epheremelda the fairy after rescuing her from monsters. Helping Link out as a guide, Link and his fairy companion successfully free two Maidens from their crystals, with one of them revealing to Link that Zelda is imprisoned inside a rock that looks like a turtle. Link, with the help of Roam, a knight who Link had befriended, shows up and aids the young hero in defeating the monster in Turtle Rock. With Zelda now saved, the trio head to Ganon's Tower, where Ganon rises from a defeated specter of Agahnim's body. Link stuns the beast with the Master Sword, allowing Zelda to fire a Silver Arrow from Roam's crossbow and defeat Ganon. The Triforce rises from Ganon's body and asks Link to touch it with one wish in his heart as its new master. The Triforce transports them back to the now-peaceful Hyrule, where Link sees a vision of his father, mother and uncle, who congratulate him on his difficult victory. The newly-crowned Queen Zelda appoints Link as the Master of the Knights of Hyrule, and the two of them, now being kept apart by their duties, share one last moment in the Lost Woods before Zelda gallops away on her horse.
