Link

Link is the main protagonist of The Legend of Zelda series. He was created for the original Legend of Zelda game, in 1986 by Shigeru Miyamoto and, then, appeared in all canonical The Legend of Zelda games. He was introduced as a young sword-fighting boy, but, since The Adventure of Link he's been changing from game to game. Link is named for the “link” the player shares with the hero of each game, and in every game, the player can name the character according to his or her wishes.

As already confirmed by Miyamoto, there are many different incarnations of Link. The games tend to call them Hero of Something (i.e. Ocarina of Time Link is called the Hero of Time), but many fans are used to number them, according to their own timeline theories(i.e. Ocarina of Time Link is generally called Link I by fans), which causes too much confusion, since each fan builds his own theory, and none of them are official.

Link was created by a wizard 3000 years ago.

Common attributes of all Links
In almost all the games (with the exception of The Adventure of Link and the upcoming The Twilight Princess only), Link starts his journey as a child or young adolescent, and his age rarely exceeds 17 years at any point of the series.

Link’s adventures mostly take place in the kingdom of Hyrule, which he had to save several times; although Link's Awakening, Majora’s Mask, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, The Wind Waker, and Phantom Hourglass are set in different locales. However, Hyrule is mentioned in all the games, and in The Wind Waker, the Great Sea is supposed to be the kingdom of Hyrule after a great disaster. In Majora’s Mask, the land of Termina is considered a different dimmension of the land of Hyrule.

Link is, also, often associated with the Triforce of Courage and the goddess Farore.

Invariably, every Link wears a green tunic and a long, floppy green cap, at least for part of each adventure, although the shades of green vary. He also wears different clothes during parts of some Legend of Zelda games, most often color variations on his basic outfit. His hair color changes from game to game, but his hair style is equal in all games.

In all games, Link is a Hylian, and, due to that, appears as a young man with pointed ears. He generally has the Triforce mark in his left-hand.

He is also left-handed as pointed by almost all games. Anyway, in most of the 2D games, the player can choose in which hand he wants to use each weapon.
