Link through History
As the hero of the Legend of Zelda series, the famous pointy earer hero has starred in every Zelda game and has saved Hyrule in many occasions.
Most Famous Appearences
Link in The Legend of Zelda
In the game that started it all, Link is a brave hero who decides to save Hyrule and Zelda from the clutches of the evil Ganon. In this game, he collects the pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom and battles Ganon in the final battle of the game. After almost 20 years after its release, Link's orginal adventure still holds up and is the basis to all other Zelda games and storylines.
Link in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
In a quite different game then the orginal, Link returns to again rescue Princess Zelda as he travels once more across the land of Hyrule to collect the pieces of the Triforce of Courage. At the same time, he also does battle with Ganon's minions who are in the process of trying to revive the evil king.
Link in A Link to the Past
In this game, Link is telepathically contacted to Zelda, who is imprisoned in the castle. After finding three pendants, he finds his way to the Lost Woods, where the Master Sword waits. Using the Master Sword, he travels from Hyrule to the Golden Realm, which had become a twisted, evil place with Ganon's touch. Awakening the seven descendants of the Sages (Seven Wise Men), he uses their power to destroy Ganon.
Link in Link's Awakening
On a sea voyage to test his skills, Link comes across a deadly sea storm which leaves him stranded on a mysterious island where he must begin a quest to awaken the Wind Fish and defeat its nightmares.
Link in Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, Link is refered to as the Hero of Time. He was raised in Kokiri Forest, but was not actually a Kokiri. His mother, suffering wounds from a Civil War, found her way to the peaceful forest. Shortly after Link's birth his mother passed away. It was on his tenth birthday that the fairy, Navi, joined him and thus began their quest to save Hyrule. By collecting the three Spiritual Stones, Link proved himself worthy to wield the Master Sword.
This gave Ganondorf, the Gerudo King, a chance to claim the Triforce. Though his heart was full of greed, he was only able to obtain one piece. The one that suited him the most -- the Triforce of Power. Seven long years, Link slept in the Chamber of Light. Then using the power of the Seven Sages, later known as the Seven Wise Men, Link sealed Ganondorf in the Golden Realm, the only place that could contain his power. After this battle, which came to be known as The Imprisoning War, Princess Zelda used her power as a sage to return Link to his original time. A ten year old once more Link returned the Master Sword to it's pedestal, and departed ways with Navi.
Link in Majora's Mask
In the direct sequel to Ocarina of Time, Link departs with Epona looking for his companion, Navi. Finding his way into the alternate dimension of Termina, he takes on the task of saving the people of the town from their impending doom. Once again he uses the Ocarina of Time to travel within a span of three days.
Link in The Wind Waker
Link, as seen in The Wind Waker, is a completely different Link when compared to the Link's of the past with his newest and most different look yet in the series. In this game, what begins as a quest to sail across the sea to rescue his sister later turns into another fantastic quest to save the world from Ganondorf and his evil intentions.
Other appearences in the Legend of Zelda series
Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons duos, Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures and The Minish Cap.
Link in Twilight Princess
While not much is known since the game hasn't be released, Link is again on another quest to save Hyrule from evil.
Link of the Gorons
The son of Darunia, Link of the Gorons was born sometime during Link, the Hero of Time's seven year long sleep, and named after the hero who saved the Gorons by chasing off the Dodongos, who had taken possession of Dodongo's Cavern, the place that the Gorons used as their chief source of nourishment.
