Link

Link (リンク) is the main protagonist of Hyrule Warriors. His likeliness originally appeared as 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 causes him to stand against evil no matter how strong they may be.

Fighting Style
The one-handed sword comes equipped with a shield, allowing for quick strikes and decent levels of defense as well as moderate dodging skills. A very balanced fighting style.

Fighting Style
The fire rod is all about offense. It can shoot wide-ranged projectiles and conjure pillars of flame to juggle enemies. The weapon is also capable of changing shape, such as forming a flamethrower, turning into a larger staff to emit flame-based energy beams, and transforming into a fiery battle axe to spin around with during certain charge attacks. Due to its poor defensive capabilities, players must rely heavily on dodging to evade incoming attacks.
