In-Character Information

Name: Link
Game/Series: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Teacher/Student/Other: Student
Canon Point: Just before entering the Dark Realm
Age: 12
Grade Level/Class Taught/Job: Freshman
Dorm or Living Arrangement: Dorm

Personality: In the general scheme of "a Zelda gets captured and a Link goes to save" type thing, this particular Link is a little different. Not only just because instead of the whole MUST SAVE PRINCESS thing, it's more "must get Zelda's body back", and not just because it'll stop her hitting him with the giant Phantom sword. It's the underlying reason behind the whole save the world deal with the Spirit Tracks.

That aside, Link is a lot more easy-going for the hero type. Many Links before have been more of the stoic or unknowing kinds, but this Link is exceedingly friendly, willing to go out of his way to say hello and interested in just about everything going on in Hyrule. He still won't stand for innocent people getting hurt, and all the enemies in his way will be getting a serving of butt-whooping from his sword. But he's also very friendly and happy to go out of his way to help people, even if it kind of delays what he really should be doing. Link can't say no to a cry for help, something that seems to run in common with his ghostly companion. No matter what happens, if someone needs help, Link will give it, no matter how long or difficult the quest! He has energy to spare, and the enthusiasm comes across loud and clear. Because even though one never hears him talk, the reactions he gives and the way people respond to his answers gives the clear impression: Link is a happy-go-lucky kind of guy.

He's also stubborn as hell. Once he's made up his mind, it's nearly impossible to change it. Once he's started something, he will never quit! Even against overwhelming odds, he'll charge on in and usually get away with it unscratched…or sometimes very scratched but still successful, eventually. Even when the odds are against him in a boss fight, or people tell him he's too young to become an Engineer, he will plough ahead and surprise everyone by succeeding and reaching his goal.

Link's a loyal friend, even to those he barely knows, as seen when, mere minutes after meeting Zelda for the first time, he tries to protect her from the darkness. And when she ends up being a ghostly spirit, he agrees to help her. He also calms her down, as the thought of the Demon King in her body kind of creeps Zelda out. But Link often helps put her mind at ease about everything and make her smile again. And despite Zelda's occasional wild mood swings (such as the first time she finds out about the whole body possession thing – scary Zelda was scary), he puts up with her, making him a very steadfast friend. No matter what happens, Link will never let his friends down.

An unusual thing about him, but Link also seems to be overly curious about everything. This can explain his habit of hunting down every treasure chest in dungeons and breaking every pot in sight for treasure. The things you find! He's also very intelligent, from solving the puzzles the temples keep throwing at him (stupid Ocean Temple and its' bells) to getting Zelda to help him out when she's possessing a Phantom that's immune to the lava that they need to cross. Weapons he can learn to use very easily, and he has a talent for working out how to play music on the Spirit Flute. There's not much he comes across that manages to stump him for too long.

There's also his fearlessness, but one has to wonder whether it's really that or Zelda he's more afraid of. But he doesn't have any trouble driving his train around those Bomb Trains or diving into Temples with little preparation, or walking straight into rooms with traps. One could argue it borders the line between fearlessness and recklessness, but no one can argue against the fact that Link has a lot of courage for someone his age and size.

Backstory: Link to game history.

Link's from pretty much right after the train goes through the warp gate into the Dark Realm. Instead of travelling on into the dark evil place, he ends up...kind of crashing into a wall and waking up in the academy rather confused about where his train and friends went.

Anything Else?:
-- Link can learn how to use just about any weapon in an incredibly fast manner. He always has his sword and shield on him, and other weapons vary depending on what he thinks he needs at the time.
-- He's also pretty decent at learning music, considering that he's never been near anything of the like in his life, yet learns songs on the Spirit Flute fairly easily.

[Hmmmm. Several minutes later and typing very slowly]

ABCD. Caps lock makes big letters and the long button at the bottom makes spaces. But I don't get how to make question marks. /// / Caps lock doesn't work. 123. Can't get the things above the numbers either.

I guess I'll find out later. Hi, I'm Link. I'm new here. The headmaster said I had to enrol to the school now I'm here, so I guess I'll be in some people's classes. I still don't get how I got here...but he said I could go home whenever I want, so maybe I'll stay for awhile then go home to fix everything up. It's nice to meet you all.

Is anyone else from Hyrule here/ I was with Zelda and Anjean before, but they've vanished...I hope they're okay. If anyone sees them, could you let me know/

These computer things are hard. Can someone teach me how to use them better/

In-Character 3rd person sample:
You know, having learned and been in training for some time to learn how to drive a train, you'd think Link would be used to the idea that sometimes when driving something with wheels, accidents happen. It could be accidentally crashing the train into the shed at Aboda Village, or running off the rails when they'd disappeared out from under him.

This though was a new one.

Link nearly wilted at the sight of the go-kart that was half hanging through the wall. He just stared for awhile at it. The driver was nowhere in sight, which was probably a good thing. They were probably hurt.

He sighed and hung his head. "What a mess..." His notes from class were all over the floor, along with the scattered drawings of trains and his maps of Hyrule. It also looked like it had knocked the Whirlwind off its shelf, and the contraption had activated, adding to the chaos.

Link stepped gingerly through it all, picking up the device and setting it on his bed, the one island of peacefulness in the disorder that was his room. "I hope whoever did this is okay...if it's made this much mess they must've been going really fast," he commented to himself, collecting up his notes and making a stack on his bed, before eyeing the go-kart itself. After a moment he conceded defeat. He was never going to get that out of here on his own. Maybe he could push it out though?

A shifting of the broken desk and Link bracing himself, he set to shoving at the machine. It was heavy! But he was determined, and a determined Link never gave up! Never back down from a challenge! He would do this, or die trying! Or passing out from exhaustion, whichever came first.

Surprisingly enough, a few hours later and it was sitting on the ground outside and he was flat on his back panting for breath. "Oww," he muttered, lifting a hand to rub his head. That hadn't been fun. But he'd done it. Maybe he was getting stronger after all...
