Roam
Roam was a character created for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past comic by Shotaro Ishinomori. The comic appeared in Nintendo Power and was later released as a graphic novel.
Roam is referred to in one of the chapters as "The Mystery Knight". He is said to be a decendent of a master archer from the ranks of the Knights of Hyrule[1]. In the comic he is searching for the enchanted Silver Arrow so that he may defeat Ganon. He appears only a few times during this alternate telling of the events of the game, but plays an important role in them.
What he first appears in the story, he challenges Link for the right to use the Master Sword but later works with Link to defeat Trinexx. He is ultimately defeated by Ganon before Link destroys him.
According to the comic, people only change form in the Dark World when they become angry. Following this, when battling Roam takes the shape of an eagle.
