Talk:Hylia's Chosen Hero

Rename
The page should be moved back Hylia's Chosen Hero. In the manga, Knight of Hylia was a generic term for any Knight who served the Kingdom of Hylia, not a specific title for the chosen hero of the Goddess Hylia. Link refers to himself as "a Knight of Hylia" even before being chosen by the Goddess. Link became a special chosen hero after accepting the gift of the Crimson Loftwing differentiating him from the other Knights of Hylia.Password 00:31, 7 May 2012 (EDT)


 * He was often referred to as "her chosen hero". Plus, Link from Skyward Sword was also called the Chosen Knight of the Goddess Hylia by Demise, probably mistaking him for the hero he once defeated during the war. As for the Kingdom of Hylia, I never thought of that name before... It's truly obvious Skyloft was the Kingdom of Hylia thousands of years before Skyward Sword. Why haven't I think of that before... Those terms you said make sense to me. Thanks.--Prince Ludwig 01:24, 7 May 2012 (EDT)

 * This page clearly indicates the "Knight of Hylia" is a generic term for knights belonging to the kingdom of Hylia and not as a term for the Goddess's chosen hero. During this scene, Link has not been chosen by the Goddess yet. It is the only place in the entire manga where the term "Knight of Hylia" is used. Password 01:38, 7 May 2012 (EDT)

Hmm... Alright... then let's move it. :\--Prince Ludwig 01:46, 7 May 2012 (EDT)

Chosen Hero of the Goddess Hylia's backstory
Many people should noticed that the chosen hero was already regarded as the greatest hero of the Kingdom of Hylia as seen in the manga. Yeah, he was imprisoned for four years and now look more older than a late teen (he must be at least 18 years like the Hero of Time before being imprisoned). So now, guys should know this; the chosen hero was already regarded as their hero and the one who can repel Demise's force and save everyone, which means he already did much for his people four years ago. Hylia came for her chosen hero, wished to be reborn with him as both mortals and childhood friends, Link and Zelda. She gave him the Master Sword, yet she still believes in him. It proves they had knew each other and was together four years ago, then the chosen hero already recieved the sailcloth which I heavily implied to be his red cape. Of course, Hylia will come to her hero as she'll need his strength as Demise is on his way with his army of demons.--Prince Ludwig 07:41, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

His name is Link
These quotes are taken directly from the manga:

"Tis blade knows whether or not you are tarnished. Link." -Hylia

"Link, a knight of the land of Hylia." -Link

"Link. Link the hero." -Hylian

Therefore, his name is Link, correct? Even though he is called Link through the article, he IS the earliest (though ambigously canon) incarnation of Link, unless you say that he CAN'T be called Link because he's not in a canon game. 16:45, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Theories
There's the "Incarnation of Link/Desendant of Link/Link Reborn" theory in the "theory" section. But most of the page, or at least a large section of it, is devoted to describing Skyward Sword Link... And describing him as the "incarnation of the hero". We could either add a theory tag to the Skyward Sword Link incarnation description, or we could remove it altogether. We could also keep it as it is currently. 11:59, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * But since Eiji Aonuma hinted a possible prequel and Hyrule Historia revealing the Chosen Hero's "certain" followers being named after him, it is certain that Hylia's Chosen Hero being somehow connected to Link is canon. But it seems that metaphorically stating that Link inherited the Legendary Hero explains that he is his reincarnation while there's two possibilities: he is the latest descendant who inherited the Legendary Hero's knightly blood or possess his dormant unbreakable spirit. Sorry about that.--Prince Ludwig 18:29, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * You keep referring to Hylia's chosen hero as the "Legendary Hero"... This is from page 68 of Hyrule Historia yes? If so, I don't think it's correct to assume that this "legendary hero" is necessarily Hylia's Chosen Hero. It could easily be SS Link, especially since in the paragraph above, the book states that "There is evidence that the story of The Legend of Zelda begins with Skyward Sword".


 * In regards to this... Prince Ludwig, we appreciate the effort you're putting in to this wiki, but please keep in mind that we are an encyclopedia; everything that gets added needs to be based on facts. We cannot be adding speculation to our articles or else it ruins our credibility (unless it's speculation supported by many fans and put under the appropriate "Theory" section) . Right now, a prequel to SS has not been confirmed (hinted at, maybe, but not confirmed), and it has not been confirmed that Hylia's Chosen Hero will be the next Link. It's possible, maybe even probable, but we can't be taking it as fact until it has been confirmed canonically.


 * With that in mind, please try to make sure that everything you add to this page (or any other articles for that matter) has been confirmed, either in a game, a manual, in an interview, or in Hyrule Historia. Just because something is probably true doesn't mean it is true. As a matter of fact, it's not true until Nintendo officially says it is. :P 20:35, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * PS: I'd like to point out that the manga doesn't count since it's not considered fully canon.
