The Hero of Time. The wielder of the Master Sword. Link is the protector of the land of Hyrule in the popular video game series Legend of Zelda. This green wearing boy, or young man, is one of the most popular video game characters of all time. And he can achieve that without saying a word.

Link is the hero who fights to protect the people from the evil in the world, usually Ganondorf. He is usually called upon by the princess Zelda to either save her or her people from danger. Without hesitation this seemingly simply, young, and innocent boy will jump into a viciously dangerous dungeon or pit of unspeakably evil. In most stories involving Link (not all of the games have the same continuity) Link starts out innocent but becomes the defender of the world and all its magic. He has mastered forests, mountains, volcanoes, oceans, swamps, and even time. He wields a sword and shield but is handy with all kinds of weapons, tools, and magic. These include Bow and Arrows (with magic arrows as well), bombs, magic spells, fairies (or spirits as I call them, the definition of “Fair” has changed), positions, boomerangs hammers, magic masks, hook-shots, and an ocarina that controls the surrounding environment including time. Yet he is most famous for wielding the most powerful tool of all, the Master Sword.

Link is heroic and brave. He spends most of the game fighting challenging foes and solving even more challenging puzzles. He gets put through tough situations but he never turns back (except to go fishing) and always overcomes. He’s fun to play as and his games are always a great hit (no matter how long it takes to get here). Link is the Hero of Time and the seventh Top Hero on this list.
