Template:Character Link is a Pig character in The Wind Waker.[note 1] He is the pet of Abe and Rose and can be found on Outset Island.

Biography

Before the Helmaroc King kidnaps Aryll, Link the Hero, has the optional side quest of catching a pig for Abe, who claims he wants to give it to his children Joel and Zill as a pet. The pig will be placed in a small pen near Abe and Roses house, along with two further pigs Link can give to Rose in exchange for a Red Rupee.

Upon Links later visits to Outset Island only one pig, who the couple have named after Link, remains. It can be presumed by Zill’s statement, “It was delicious”, that the missing pigs have been eaten by the family.

Over the course of the game Link slowly grows larger, until he can only be lifted with the help of the Power Bracelet. At this point Link can take him to the black soil facing Mesa’s house, and, by spreading All-Purpose Bait on the floor, get him to dig up a Piece of Heart.

Unlike most characters, Links appearance is entirely dependent on the player. If  Link has not participated in this particular side quest, or if any of the three pigs caught were black, then Link will be a black pig; if Link did not catch any black pigs but has caught a pink one then Link will be a pink pig; and if Link has caught only black spotted pigs then Link will be a black spotted pig.

Like all pigs Link will, if attacked enough times attack his Hylian namesake and continue doing so until Link either dies, falls in water, or leaves the area. Unlike other pigs however Link is capable of doing three hearts worth of damage with each hit due to his vast size. The force of his attacks and undying nature means that Link is, potentially, one of the most dangerous enemies in the game.
