Split "Hero of Time" from this page?
I don't know about you, but I think this page is very, very lengthy. I also think that a page for the Hero of Time should exist, rather than a redirect. I think it could really thrive as a page and could become very decently sized. As the Hero of Time seems to be the one most referenced out of his own game, I think out of all the Link incarnations, his is the most deserving. Thoughts? 08:58, 21 April 2011 (EDT)
 * The size of this page has already been discussed (see the last discussion in the archives). As for splitting the Hero of Time into its own article, I see how that could work...MAYBE. Maybe it should be first presented as a sandbox project? I'll wait and see what other folks say. ;) Dany36 11:03, 21 April 2011 (EDT)
 * There's a problem with that, though. The Hero of Time is only one of the many incarnations Link has had. We also have the Hero of Winds, the Chosen Hero, and the Engineer. We would have to make a page for each of them, and so far no incarnation of Link has been in more than two games (whereas the Mario, the Luigi and the Samus we play as are the ones and same in their respective games). As for article size, I see no problem so far. Length limit has been upgraded to four times the supposed MediaWiki limit, so we're safe for now. -- 12:09, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

Link page deleted?
Why was it deleted? Spam attack? Maintenance? Something else? I find it rather curious that no reason is given, at least not a recent reason.

EDIT: Never mind, I see it now... Odd. ~Count Olaf~ 04:11, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

As you can see on the Latest Announcements on the main page, the Wiki has recently undergone a server move. This glitch you saw was likely a result of it. 18:38, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Ah! Sorry, I didn't notice. >_< ~Count Olaf~ 07:39, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

SKYWARD SWORD INFO

 * Link and Zelda are friends in a boarding school (when they have friends, teachers and a principal)
 * "The flying sequence at the E3 demo is Link competing against his classmates. One of them looks kind of a like a bad guy, as you saw, and he shows up in other ways in the game too, since he has a major thing for Zelda."
 * Princess Zelda is not a "princess" in this game" (at the beginning most likely).

Link's Reincarnation
Someone should add the information that The Wind Waker Link is the reincarnation of the Hero of Time. I mean Ganondorf (The Wind Waker) said he is. --Cococrash11 17:59, 30 June 2011 (EDT)
 * The King of Red Lions said Link isn't when he conversed with Jabun. Ganondorf doesn't know that. -- 21:12, 30 June 2011 (EDT)

What if its the other way around? That doesn't mean The King of Red Lions and Jabun know anymore than Ganondorf do. They said Link had no relation to the Hero of Time maybe they meant physically not spiritually. What does the creator say about it? Even so it should be included what Ganondorf, King of Red Lions, and Jabun said in the article just to let the readers understand. --Cococrash11 22:37, 2 July 2011 (EDT)


 * The Hero of Time ceased to exist on the Adult Timeline at the end of OoT! There is no soul to be reincarnated in the first place. Also, TWW Link isn't the chosen one, remember? He has to earn the ToC, and starts out as just a kid looking for his sister. Alongside the King's comment, there is absolutely zero grounds for him being a reincarnation. Reign 23:02, 2 July 2011 (EDT)

Well maybe he's ceased to exist physically not spiritually. Even if that's true it still needs Ganondorf's opinion in the article. What the King said is from the second quest not a lot of reader may know that its a spoiler. Just write Ganondorf think he's the Hero of Time's Reborn but the king said he isn't. It can list under Theory and the content talks about who is correct.

You do realize Ganondorf is the only one who ever fought the Hero of Time and been defeated personally by him. In his point of view when Link defeated Puppet Ganon he might see/notice Link's skill reminiscence of the Hero of Time. Also hey the King never personally seen the Hero of Time himself so what makes him so sure? That is why I trust Ganondorf's opinion more then the King. The King says "He doesn't have any connection to the Ancient Hero" for all we know it might be physical connection not spiritual connection its debatable. The King might might be wrong for all we know. --Cococrash11 06:21, 5 July 2011 (EDT)


 * "If you have sought me out...it must mean you have found the Hero of Time, does it not?" — Jabun
 * "The one I have brought with me has no connection to the legendary one." — King of Red Lions after meeting Jabun
 * "That garb you wear... Could you be the legendary hero? [...] What is the matter? Do you not understand the ancient Hylian tongue? So...you are not the Hero of Time." — Great Deku Tree
 * "I have been waiting for you, boy. For one like you... Yes... For the hero.[...] Yes, surely you are the Hero of Time, reborn..." — Ganondorf


 * Reign presents an interesting point: Link no longer exists on the AT. In that case, neither should the Triforce of Courage, since it can be seen clearly on his hand at the end of OOT. Also, Ganon would probably know that the Hero of Time no longer exists. After he broke out and started corrupting the land, he would have had plenty of time to learn about it. Add to that the fact that we don't know what happened to Link after Majora's Mask. He already traveled through time hundreds of times with various methods, so he may have found a way to go back to the Adult Timeline. This last point is weak speculation, however. I still think we should mention this issue on the page somewhere, with the quotes above as references. 09:29, 5 July 2011 (EDT)
