Description

Link:
"So, you thought that you were the bomb, yes well, so did I."

Honorable, loyal, selfless, kind, humble, a guy with a really big heart, he's Ari's twin brother, though he looks a bit older and is by far a lot more mature than her. As many people already know, he's the Hero of Time, but he's also something else. He's the latest reincarnation of the original Hero of Time, born many millennia after Ocarina of Time. He was tested by the goddesses of the Hyrul and by a demon named Vire, through many different dimensions and time periods to see if he was capable of handling the emotional distress of being returned his memories of all his previous lives.

The trials didn't turn him into a lonely, tormented, gloomy soul, quite the opposite; it opened his eyes to a brighter future. He knew he was capable of doing so much with that little piece of time life gives so he always tries to make his life, and other's, more enjoyable.

Even though he may seem like your clichéd hero, you know, being all good boy, cute, long blond hair and all that, he's a very dark person. He can be a real bastard in the battle field (it's all about who's the last person standing), and when he gets very angry, he's simply cruel. He can torture his enemies to the point when they beg for a quick death instead of the torments he may put them through. That's the side that made Ari so terrified of her brother. He's a Balam, or Soul Devourer, just as Ari and Kado. He can literally eat somebody else's soul, especially spiritual creatures such like angels and demons; when it's about humans (Gorons, Ayikes, Harincos, Hylians, Sheikas, Gerudos, etc) they just take the soul and dissipate it in the life stream of the world so it can be reborn later.

He doesn't try to hide that dark side of him to his friends, but he try to don't show it that much either. He'll treat them with care and love most of the time with the few exceptions of some of them, like Dizi, Ari and Aliku, who regulary needs a good skull bashing to help them make up their minds. He was in love of princess Zelda but that changed once Aliku comes into his life… or rather, when Link comes to Aliku's life. The love he had promised to Zelda is given to Aliku even though she's the possible killer of the Hylian princess. Their relationship is pretty violent but full of love and trust; when they are training they rarely hold back so they end up hurt very badly each time. They are pretty much the war-nerds of the group.

Just as Ari, he shares many different features of different races since he's a mestizo; part Hylian, Ayike, Gerudo and Sheika.

The scars on his face and neck were made by a demon (Bella, killed by Link during that same incident) in the Dark Realm, they won't heal but they are now just like a tattoo that will be inherited by his children, like a birthmark for the particular type of mestizo he is. He has two scars on the left cheek, two on the left side of his neck and another on the right side. The demon grabbed him by the head and kinda kept clutching until he cut his flesh.

He leaves his old kokirish outfit and, as Ari and Kado, wears a more Sheikan outfit. He also quits the cap since his girlfriend told him he looks better without it XD

He always wields two swords, Daure and Novakula, and uses wind, earth and fire spells. His light and shadow spells are his strong cards, canalizing his spiritual power into different objects to boost their power. He can even steal the power of a spiritual creature to add to his own; most of the time they steal it from "evil" creatures, human or spirituals for alike.

Being a bounty hunter he sometimes is paired with somebody of his friends, like Ari, Dizi, Luz, Aliku and Koshamu. Although, most of the time it's not the client who decide that; sometimes Dizi or Aliku appears out of nowhere claiming they are gonna work together.

There are some very nasty rumors about Link, like the fact that he always finish the job for his clients but sometimes the clients go missing or end up dead under very mysterious circumstances... like huge pools of blood, skinned bodies, decapitated corpses, etc.

The most enigmatic part of his life is the fact that he's a Quetzal, a warrior part of an ancient organization. He's in charge of gathering the "Spiritual Wings", a group to represent Hyrule for that organization. Link keeps a close contact with many deities and demons, working with them to destroy other oranizations trying to create an event called the Voco Ed Deus Tanath, or as Luz said "A big shit that is gonna screws us all".

Even though, he claims he is not the leader of the group people always considere him like such, and his friends are always pestering him with jokes derived from that X)
