    Link is the protagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video game series created by Shigeru Miyamoto. The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's flagship game franchises, which sold over 47 million copies worldwide as of 2007. The series enduring popularity has led to many incarnations of the Legend of Zelda story and of its Link character. The character's first appearance took place in the 1986 video game The Legend of Zelda. The character Link has been featured in other video games from Nintendo, on Nintendo's merchandising, on comic books, and even a television show. Link was also honored with a star on the Walk of Game in 2005 alongside Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.

    Link is described as a young Hylian boy from the fictional land of Hyrule. His age varies depending on the game, incarnations usually vary from preteen to the late teens. He is also one of the few left-handed protagonists in video games. Link often journeys through the realm of Hyrule, defeating evil forces and Hyrule's nemesis Ganon, also known as Ganondorf. To defeat Ganon, Link usually needs the mystical Master Sword, which is often obtained after many trials and battles gathering magical objects or using other items such as musical instruments, as well as assorted weaponry.
