== Link is non-silent in Twilight Princess Manga == | |||
It's a common misconception that the only Links who have spoken dialogue are that in the cartoon and in the CDI games. In the manga adaptation of Twilight Princess, and only there as far as I know (while most other mangas have him not speak at all), Link is strangely non-silent, and he's shown to have a personality and speak like a normal character. I think it should be added in the Trivia section, since it's a one-time exception to a rule that happens in every game and manga. --[[User:Shin Minase|Shin Minase]] ([[User talk:Shin Minase|talk]]) 21:15, 19 September 2020 (UTC) | |||
:Canonically, Link speaks in almost every media he's in, including the main series. This is not something we should note. [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 13:44, 20 September 2020 (UTC) | |||
::But Twilight Princess's manga adaptation, the CDI games and the cartoon are the only times where Link's dialogue is actually shown. Aside from those three exceptions, Link's dialogue isn't shown to the player or completely chosen by the player. --[[User:Shin Minase|Shin Minase]] ([[User talk:Shin Minase|talk]]) 21:07, 24 September 2020 (UTC) | |||
:::The article section on [[Link#Other Appearances|Other Appearances]] mentions that Link has dialogue in certain non-canon media. The [[Link#Characteristics|Characteristics]] highlights a couple canon instances where Link says actual words.

== Switching Link's Awakening and the Oracle games == | |||
On Link's history, can Link's Awakening and the Oracle games be switched? Having the Oracle games take place before Link's Awakening is outdated information, as the timeline was updated to have Link's Awakening be first over two years ago. The official website and encyclopedia reflect this, and the Links in these games aren't even the same, as the Princess Zelda from the Oracle games does not recognize Link. This issue is prevalent on other pages as well, including Zelda's. [[User:Rockguitarfan|Rockguitarfan]] ([[User talk:Rockguitarfan|talk]]) 23:35, 28 September 2020 (UTC) | |||
== "There are many incarnations of Link, each possessing the spirit of the hero" == | |||
The doesn't state that every single Link possesses the spirit of the hero, it just says that Demise's curse will follow SS Link's reincarnations. The whole "all Links are reincarnations of SS Link" is just an unconfirmed fan interpretation, and one that is contradicted by the games in some instances, such as TP where the previous Link is still around as a ghost, or the fact that OoT Link left the adult timeline before dying, making it impossible for later Links in that timeline to be his reincarnations. Anyone opposed to me rewriting that line, if not removing it (the "spirit of the hero" concept is already mentioned in the SS section anyway)? [[User:ReddBird|ReddBird]] ([[User talk:ReddBird|talk]]) 05:47, 28 February 2021 (UTC) | |||
:I don't think it is confirmed that Link reincarnates. Even if Link reincarnates, the Links from TWW and TP possess a soul that is not shared with their predecessors. All Links have a special soul. Encyclopedia also states that the Links have the spirit of the hero. [[User:Zeldafan1982|Zeldafan1982]] ([[User talk:Zeldafan1982|talk]]) 14:59, 28 February 2021 (UTC) | |||
::Ah, you're saying that possessing the spirit of the hero and being reincarnations are different things? Fair enough. [[User:ReddBird|ReddBird]] ([[User talk:ReddBird|talk]]) 23:54, 28 February 2021 (UTC) | |||
== Manga == | |||
Since Link appears in almost every LoZ manga, (Oath of Riruto/Lilto being the only one I can think of where he doesn't,) should they be listed in the "Other Appearances" section? [[User:JumbledLimes|JumbledLimes]] ([[User talk:JumbledLimes|talk]]) 23:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
== Name == | |||
I heard somewhere that he was named because the game was originally supposed to have you collect computer chips and you were the one who would link them together. | |||
