Strengths/Weaknesses: As with many a Link throughout time, he is both a courageous and kind soul, with a gift for problem-solving and combat tactics. What sets this Link apart, however, is a noted ferocity in battle likened to the beast he transforms into. He is likely the first to leap into action, and readily engages enemies in combat despite the risk to himself. He’s also experienced in handling livestock, able to both herd goats and halt a stray from charging out of town with his bare hands.
He is not the first Link who is socially dense, unable to take certain hints or cues that others might sooner pick up on. And while decisive, his propensity to leap into battle can turn against him. More than once, Midna has chided him for barreling into a situation without first coming up with a strategy. Rounding off these traits, he has a tendency to get taken advantage of, unable to say no to someone in need.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer
Starter: Eevee. This is because Eevees start off the same but can evolve into a variety of things, which parallels how there are many Links but each is unique beyond their surface qualities. How this Link’s starter will evolve and develop will, for example, serve as a contrast to Skyward Sword Link.

Samples First Person Sample: [This would be Link, watching the screen dubiously. He pokes at it once, then again, turning it sideways, brow quirked curiously]
Is it working..?
[He can only wonder, what with the lack of anyone to verbally abuse explain this odd contraption to him.
He’ll just have to hope for the best]
I…promised I’d return home. Whatever I need to do to make it happen, I’ll do it. If I need to slay monsters, or go through some dungeon, find some relic no one’s seen in decades…then I will. Obstacles aren’t going to get in my way.
[This is said with the fierce determination that’s brought him through all his hardships. But his resolve for all its worth seems to drain from his expression as he looks off to the distance, voice dropping to only a murmur]
They’re waiting for me in Ordon.
Third Person Sample: Upon waking in a foreign place, Link’s first course of action is of course to investigate. He inspects every corner of the room, from the bed he awoke in to the windows to the door. A part of him is almost disappointed when the door simply opens. No bells, no whistles, no traps…as far as he can tell. He swings it open and shut a few times over before he finally steps outside.
The house, likewise, presents no obstacles. Only a woman calling herself mom and offering him a backpack, pointedly ignoring the dubious stares Link directs at her. As he’s nudged out the door to begin his “adventure,” he can’t help looking around in puzzlement, backpack hanging from one hand.
This place is as foreign as it looked from the windows of that room, which means only one thing to him right now. He’s not going to get home as soon as he’d planned. The thought prompts a sigh and he kneels to see what’s in this bag he was given. A book, towels, something he presumes is food…
Link frowns when he finishes emptying the pack, taking a seat where he is. Perhaps the book will yield more information, so he picks it up and starts leafing through pages, expression turning contemplative as he skims over the contents.
At last he comes across a map and he pauses, leaning closer to the pages with intense interest. Maps, he can certainly use. If he knows where he is, he can figure out exactly where he needs to head to get home. “Joh-to…” He mumbles as his eyes trace over each route and town, trying to find something familiar along the way.
When he finds no mention of any town or landmark with which he’s familiar he turns the page over, puzzled when there is nothing more. How could it possibly be that this land has no maps that include Hyrule? It’s downright confounding and Link flips the pages several times more before he determined that, indeed, there is nothing more to this map.
He starts replacing the supplies in the pack, but pauses as a pair of long, brown ears poke into view. Lifting his arm enough to see the creature, he’s surprised to see a fox-like animal sitting at his side, fluffy tail wagging. It lets out a strange sound he’s unfamiliar with, watching him with wide, expectant eyes and at first Link can only blink at it in turn.
The animal makes the same noise once more and slowly, almost as though he’s unsure of his action, he gently pats it on the head. This earns a happier sound and Link can’t help a small, warm smile despite his situation.
He’s lost, and he’s not sure yet how he’ll find his way home, but at least animals still seem drawn to him. They may look different, but that small bit of familiarity’s still comforting.
