Ordon Village

Ordon Village, previously known as Toaru Village, is Link's hometown in Twilight Princess. This village is where Link was raised as a cowboy (or ranch-hand) and where Link starts his adventure, learning the basic controls while helping the villagers.

From the demo we know he can corral goats into a barn and it's probably safe to say that is actually his occupation. On top of that he has become close friends with Bo, the mayor of Ordon Village, who is sending Link to the kingdom of Hyrule as a representative of Ordon Village to attend a meeting, Hyrule Summit. The specifics of this festival are not yet known, but it doesn't much matter as Link doesn't get to make this trip. Just as he is retrieving his horse from Ilia, the mayor's daughter, a horde of enemies storms the village. Ilia is shot (non-fatally) in the back with an arrow, and Colin is taken captive by the Bulblin King. Link is clubbed in the back of the head by one of the Bulblins and left unconscious. When he wakes up he finds nothing. He is alone.
