Link

Link is a courageous warrior and adventurer from the far away land of Hyrule. He occasionally visits the Mushroom World.

During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Link could be found taking a break from battling Ganon and actually resting at the Rose Town Inn. In fact, the Hyrulian hero is a heavy sleeper; he won't even awaken when spoken to. However, a strange melody could be heard whenever anyone tried to talk to the slumbering Link.

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (and Donkey Kong Land 2), Link was ranked third in Cranky Kong’s list of Video Game Heroes. Mario came in first place, while Yoshi came in second place. The heroes were ranked according to how many of Cranky’s hidden DK Coins they discovered while progressing through the levels and defeating Kaptain K. Rool. By collecting more DK Coins than him (19), Diddy Kong knocks Link off the leader board and becomes the #1 Video Game Hero of Donkey Kong Country 2/Donkey Kong Land 2.

According to Bazaar the Bear, Link visited the bear's General Store before the events of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. While he was there, Link asked Bazaar who owned the castle in the northern part of the Northern Kremisphere. However, Link did not have the two Bear Coins Bazaar required before he would tell his story about the castle. Link did have five hundred Rupees though, and Bazaar agreed to take them. Unfortunately for Link, Bazaar did not know who owned the castle; Bazaar merely knew there was a no trespassing sign on the castle grounds. Distraught, Link left the store, grumbling about how Bazaar’s Seashells were the wrong shape.

Link has also been playable in all five Wario Ware games. He usually appears in 9-Volt's or 18-Volt's micro-games. In the microgames, the player has to avoid the eneies on the screen and move Link safely inside a cave.

Fans debate that there may be a different Link for each time period.

Super Smash Bros.
Link has appeared in both Super Smash Bros. games as a default character. In the first Super Smash Bros., he was the first character fought in single player mode. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Link is fought in the Underground of Hyrule Castle in Adventure Mode. Link is fought many different times (wearing different tunics each time) as fighters search for the Triforce to end the level. In battle, Link can throw a Boomerang, use Bombs, shoot Arrows, and grab onto enemies with his Hookshot. Link's seconday jump is the Spin Attack.
