Link

Link (リンク, Rinku) is the main protagonist of Hyrule Warriors. He is the main hero of every major Legend of Zelda title. His fairy companion in this title, Proxy, often speaks on his behalf to preserve his silent protagonist role.

Koei first used his likeliness for a collaboration costume in Shin Sangoku Musou VS.

Role in Game
This incarnation of Link fights for the Royal Army of Hyrule. The Triforce of Courage lies within him.

Personality
A kind individual with an affinity for fairies, he carries a strong sense of justice that empowers him to stand against any evil.

Fighting Style
The one-handed sword and shield moveset allows for quick strikes, decent defense, and average mobility. It is a very balanced fighting style.

Fighting Style
The magic rod is all about offense. Its attacks can be used to combo and juggle enemies from many distances. Due to its poor defensive capabilities, players are encouraged to dodge frequently while using it.

Fighting Style
This moveset emphasizes brute strength over speed. Equipping the power gloves enables Link to wield heavy objects or weaponry (a large flail) with ease. Even enemies can be lifted with it.

Some of the moves employed by this weapon are a callback to certain titles in the series.
 * The stone pillars lifted with the gloves originate from Ocarina of Time.
 * Link's ball and chain is carried over from Twilight Princess.
