Ancient Hero

The is the title given to a recurring character in. The Series: goes unnamed in.

The Series: was born with the spirit of the hero who defeated Series: with the help of BotW: 10,000 years prior to the events of. implies the Ancient Hero has a connection to the TotK:, if he is not one himself.

10,000 years before the events of, the BotW: united with an incarnation of the Princess, the four NaN Divine Beasts, and numerous NaN Guardians, using the BotW: to seal BotW: away beneath BotW:. This legend is told upon completing the BotW: by BotW: and retold to BotW: separately by BotW: and BotW:. The BotW: is never seen directly, but he appears in artistic form on the BotW:. The artwork depicts him with green eyes, fiery red hair, and a light blue outfit, similar to the BotW: his successor wears in the distant future.

Upon first meeting BotW:, BotW: claims that his NaN Ancient Songs commemorate the actions of the BotW:. He also mentions the BotW: during the BotW: "BotW:", supposing that the treasure hidden in BotW: may have belonged to the BotW: who defeated the BotW: 10,000 years ago. Furthermore, at a BotW: where he plays Series:, BotW: will inform BotW: that while the BotW:'s origins are uncertain, his teacher the BotW: believed the BotW: used it to call to his BotW:.

After completing every TotK:, TotK: can receive the TotK: at the TotK:. When worn, it envelops TotK: in the aura of the hero's spirit and gives him the appearance of the TotK:.

The TotK: is shown to be similar to a Series:, with similar animalistic traits and TotK: markings and armor. However, given that his appearance still significantly differs from the two known TotK:, TotK: and TotK:, and TotK:'s claim that the other TotK: no longer exist in their world, it remains unclear if the TotK: is actually a TotK: or related to them. The TotK:'s actual armor is also near-identical to the TotK: and TotK:, though NaN Hylians are seen wearing this type of clothing in the time of TotK:.

If spoken to by TotK: when wearing the TotK:, several characters will recognize the TotK:. TotK: will be amused and note that TotK: appears similar to the figure on the TotK:; TotK: will compliment TotK: but remark that she didn't recognize him at first; TotK: will believe the TotK: had been resurrected, before realizing it was TotK: and wishing to try on the outfit; and TotK: will inquire as to where TotK: found the clothing.

At the TotK:, TotK: recounts the story of the TotK: and the 10,000-year-old TotK: to the children of TotK:. TotK: also has a comment about Link having shown the class "ancient hero getup", though this is tied to the lesson on the Calamity and not Link actually having worn the Ancient Hero's Aspect, appearing to be a mistranslation.
