Link

Name: Link

Age: 17

Race: Hylian

Title: The Legendary Hero

Bio: Descended from the Goddess's chosen hero, Link has the blood of the Hero running through his veins and has been reincarnated for hundreds of years, arriving to defeat evil when it threatens his home and other kingdoms like it. While his origins vary with each incarnation, they all share a few common characteristics such as humble origins--a goat herder, child of the forest, knight trainee, train conductor, and more. He is the only one who can wield the Master Sword, the Blade of Evil's Bane, and bring an end to the evils that plague Hyrule.

Costume 1: Traditional Getup (See games like Smash Bros. or Soul Calibur 2)

Costume 2: Hyrule Warriors Link

Costume 3: Hero's Shade Armor

Costume 4: Magic Armor from Twilight Princess

Costume 5: Champion's Tunic

Voice Actor: Johnny Yong Bosch

Special Moves:

-Hero's Bow: Link draws an arrow and fires one of three kinds based on the button used in the combo.

*Volley: Fires three arrows in rapid succession

*Fire: Fires a flame-laced arrow that sets the opponent on fire, chipping away their health

*Ice: Encases the opponent in a shell of ice, temporarily immobilizing them

-Bomb: Link reaches behind him, pulls out a bomb, then tosses it at the enemy. He can throw up to three bombs in a row, if combo'd right, with each bomb having a three-second timer.

-Boomerang: Link pulls out a boomerang and lobs it at the enemy. It does minimal damage, but will strike the opponent on its return trim. It can even intercept projectiles and carry them back at the opponent to do extra damage.

-Clawshot/Hookshot: Link pulls out aforementioned device and a claw/spearhead springs out attached to a chain. If he hits a wall with it, he will be ziplined to that spot by holding the attack button down. If he hits the opponent, it will draw them right to Link, opening them up for combo attacks.

-Skyward Strike: Link raises his blade in the air, briefly charges energy from above, then swings his blade to create an energy disc. He'll swing it horizontally to create a faster projectile or swing vertically for a taller (and harder to evade) attack, depending on how long he charges it.

-Hylian Shield: Link puts his shield in front of him and thrusts it forward. The move can stun enemies, but is most useful for blocking. Physical attacks bounce off it and leave the enemy open, while projectiles will reflect right back at their users.

-Spin Attack: Link spins like a tornado with his blade extended to inflict multiple hits on close-range opponents opponents. Can be used in midair to pummel airborne foes.

Throws

FORWARD: Link uses his shield to bash the opponent in the head, then springs and performs a spinning slash that knocks them back.

BACKWARD: Link rolls around the opponent and springs up to slash their exposed back, knocking them on their face.

Super Moves:

-Ancient Arrow: Link nocks an arrow tipped with a glowing-blue head and fires it at the opponent in a straight line. On a successful hit, it will create an explosion of ancient magic and is capable of piercing enemy blocks and defense boosts. If Link uses this move in midair, he will angle the shot downward.

-Triforce Slash: Link puts his left hand forward as the Triforce of Courage shines brightly. It ensnares the foe in a beam of light before Link crosses the distance, then the light turns into a giant Triforce-shaped energy binding. Link then proceeds to unleash a volley of slashes, finishing with a stab that breaks the binding and sends the enemy flying backward.

-Ending Blow: Link sheathes his sword and, if his enemy attacks, he'll spin to evade, draw his blade into a diagonal slash. He'll then jump, using his blade to catch them on the shoulder, then roll on contact with the ground, rising up to jump, spin, and catch them with his blade again. This attack lands his enemy on their back and Link seizes his chance, springing at them and impaling them with the Master Sword.

FATALITIES:

-Hero's Arsenal: Link whips out his Hero's Bow and nocks two arrows, firing them and gouging out the enemy's eyes. He then bowls a bomb at the opponent, which explodes and reduces their body to bloody chunks. Link then pulls a hookshot and fires up to latch onto the opponent's still-flying head, impaling it through the forehead and retracting to bring it back to Link, who shows off his new trophy.

-Final Spin: Link positions his sword behind him and it gains a red glint. He then snaps his gaze forward and lashes out with a much more powerful version of his iconic spin attack. He strikes three times--the first time catches the opponent across the hip, the second cutting through their chest and biceps, and the third going right through their face just above the nose. When the move finishes, Link sheathes his sword as the opponent falls to the ground in pieces.

Intro: A pillar of green light gently lowers Link to the ground. He draws the Master Sword and equips his Hero's Shield as soon as he touches down.

Outro: Link swings his sword twice, twirls it, then sheaths it on his back before turning to look out to the horizon.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: Link never saw it coming. One minute, he and Princess Zelda were in Hyrule Castle's courtyard exchanging pleasant conversation, the next he woke up in a strange world with his sworn charge nowhere to be seen. Much like any other adventure he had been on, however, Link knew better than to panic. With the Master Sword in hand and a plethora of special items at his disposal, Link set forth on a new journey, ready to fight through the obstacles to both find the princess and the gateway home.

Rival Cutscene:

(Link is sprinting down a hallway, looking for any sign of the princess he has sworn to protect. He turns a corner and sees a familiar figure leaned up against the wall, arms folded over his chest and eyes closed.)

Link: Wha-? Cloud!

(Cloud's eyes snap open and focus on Link, whose hand quickly finds the hilt of the Master Sword.)

Cloud: Relax. (on seeing Link give him a slightly-questioning look) I'm not your enemy. Not here, anyway.

(Link hesitantly releases the Master Sword and draws closer, slowly but no longer on-edge.)

Link: I...take it you bear no ill will towards me for our last encounter?

Cloud: (closes eyes again) No. That was beyond our control. I had no choice, and I doubt you did either.

Link: You speak the truth. I hold no grudge against you. (pauses to think, then starts) Oh! Have you seen a princess around here?

Cloud: (eyes open, then shakes his head) No. Sorry. (notices Link's rather-down expression) She important to you?

Link: (nods) Yes. I swore to protect her, now she's gone. Maybe...you can help me?

Cloud: (stands away from the wall) I can't. I'm also looking for someone close to me.

Link: Then maybe we can search together?

Cloud: (shakes head again) No, Link. Sometimes, we have to fight our own battles.

Link: (somewhat insulted) You are calm for someone looking for a close friend-

Cloud: Don't misunderstand. I do care, but getting myself in a panic won't get me any closer. Besides...she can take care of herself until I find her.

Link: (thoughtful pause) There is logic in your reasoning. But still...you and I differ. I have a lot more to lose than just a close friend, so I have much more to lose if I fail.

(Cloud analyzes Link and the ferocity in his eyes.)

Cloud: I see. That IS different. (walks a short distance away)

Link: Cloud, where-?

(Cloud stops a short distance away, then turns on Link and draws the Buster Sword.)

Cloud: (calmly) Fight me, Link.

Link: (startled) Cloud, what are-?!

Cloud: I want to see your drive to win...and to show you that I have just as strong a drive. Maybe then we can see ourselves as equal in our quests.

Link: But Cloud, I thought you said-

Cloud: This won't be a fight to the death. Just a test of drive and strength.

(Link sighs in relief and lets go of his tension, then snaps his attention to Cloud with a determined fire in his eyes.)

Link: Right. I accept!

(Link draws the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. The two stare each other down as the camera fades to black.)

Ending: With the defeated mastermind at his feet and Zelda safe and sound in his arms, Link's journey had come to an end. The Hero of Legend and Princess of Destiny returned to Hyrule, hand-in-hand. In the ensuing peacetime, the two found ways to keep in touch with the other realms and formed alliances with other kingdoms in hopes of keeping that peace throughout the multiverse. Not long after, a wedding took place that even otherworldly visitors just had to attend--one between Hyrule's new queen and the newly anointed Prince Consort of Hyrule. Together, Link and Zelda promised to bring Hyrule into a new Golden Age.
