Toaru Village

Toaru Village is Link's hometown in the upcomming Twilight Princess game. "Toaru" is the Japanese word for "Unspecified" and will most likely not be the name in the final version of Twilight Princess. This village is where link was raised as a cowboy (or cowhand) and where link will start 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 Toaru Village, who is sending Link to the kingdom of Hyrule as a representative of Toaru Village to attend a festival. 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 in the back, (we don't know whether she is killed or not), and Colin, Ilia's brother, is taken captive by the Bokoblin King. Link is clubbed in the back of the head by one of the Bokoblins and left unconscious. When he wakes up he finds nothing. He is alone.
