In Each series is a different link. In Zelda 1 and 2 is one link. LTTP Is an earlier ancestor of the link from LOZ 1 & 2, the LTTP link is also featured in Links Awakening and the Oracles. The link in OOT and MM is the same as The Zelda 1 & 2 link. The Link in the Wind Waker is a decendant of the OOT link (remember the opening story?) The link in the 4 Swords and Minish are with the Wind Waker link.I hope this helps, if not you'll be cross-eyed

I still think the one in the wind waker is different. Remember the hero of time never returned. The Shield was passed down through the generations and they all dressed like the Hero of time. So it's pretty obvious that the wind waker link is different or a decendant of the original link.

In Ocarina of Time, Link was revealed to be a Hyrlian, not a Kokiri, so he ages and will aventually die. Zelda also ages, so both of them are 'human' and will die eventually.Windwaker link has no relation, that I know of, to link, expet that the tradition on the island (can't remeber the name).At that age they dress up as him, so they grow up to be strong and brave just like the hero.This is my understanding by playing the games, but if it's wrong, then correct me please.Link and Zelda were both Elves - they live "forever", so time is not a matter hereWind Waker takes place 100 years after Ocarina of Time. So all the links are not the same. Unless link found the fountain of youth or something. =P

Well, I heard one time that they were building a timeline to place each Zelda game in context. I do think that Link is reicarnated into each of the heroes.

Without reading any replies, I have studied Zelda's story since I was a wee boy playing the very first game. As it seems, it's creator (Shigeru Miyamoto) has said that every link is different in the over all stories. It would seem that Ocarina of Time was the first (in chronological order) in the story, and it seems it ends with the first Zelda game (of course, too many story problems lead some like me to believe the last story would be Zelda 2). Link is, in fact, always different. Also, Link and Zelda NEVER get together, so all this fan art I see everywhere is just annoying when I see the two of 'em kissing. It's kind of annoying that people play a game, call themselves "fans" and then just mutalate the overall story with their "fan art". Enough ranting then, I answered the question. :DAlso, all the Links are different, they seem to look the same for the games personal purpose for gamer interaction, but thats it. It would seem as though he really looks different in each one, and hints from WW show that the spirit of the Hero of Time is in every "Link" that comes up. All in all, he really is the "link" between stories. Zelda herself is coincidental and just can't stay out of trouble it seems.

It isn't a knock off. It's more like a descendant. The boy has the blood of the original Link. But that's just my guess.

It is my personal opinion that all of the links are reincarnations of the original. Not only that, but I believe the same is true with Zelda herself.

The games are all mixed up and are not in the correct order. So depending on the game you're talking about Link can be the real deal, reincarnation, or even a bunch of phonies.

If you read all the stories and tidbits... Ocarina of Time is the original incarnation of Link... and then Zelda and Zelda 2:adventures of Link follow back to back after that, A Link to the Past follows them, some time later, and finally Wind Waker in the distant future of a drowned land.they are all Link, reincarnated from the 1st one in OOT, where he inherits the Sword of Time from the old Hylian powers. everyone of him after that is his avatar.As for Song of the Wind Fish, the Oracles, Four Sword, Minish Cap, etc... they are more like adventures aside from the main plot... and time wise do not relate directly to the history of Hyrule.

My take on it is he's the same Link in all of them except WW just different stories attached to the hero.There's no real timeline until you get to OOT and MM where time actually was an issue and part of the game.And when it comes to WW the Link is some type of decendant because granny gave up the shield.
True about Link and Zelda, but, the Gannon in 1 and LTTP were portrayed as a Piglike creature. (I havn't played any of the GB ones yet and I don't remember much about 2)Whereas the Gannon on the 64 and beyond are clearly human.Hope this helpsBut on the other hand, each reincarnation seems to look exactly alike, and then there's a reincarnation for Princess Zelda each time too... and Gannon...

Well... I do know that Link from the first original Legend of Zelda is used up until the end of Majora's Mask. Then in the Windwaker it is set 100 years after Oot and MM so Link must have died causing this to be a "knock-off" Link.

OoT-MM-OoS/OoA--hundreds of years-->WW---->LttP-LA---->LoZ/AoLCurrently unknown are Twilight Princess, Four swords, & Minish Cap. However it is clearly shown that Minish Cap is ahundred years <u>before</u> Four swords, due to the fact that Vaati was transformed into a spider in the interim, kind of like what happened to Gannondorf, he had sought the golden power in OoT, but that had turned out to be his downfall and was turned into the giant pig that we know in LttP and LoZ. OoS and OoA were Simmilar adventures that took place in far off lands.

I used to believe the story is as suchOcarina > Majoras > Zelda > Zelda 2 > Zelda 3 > Links awakening > oracles >100 years later....Wind wakerthat would make this completely seperatefour swords > minish capBut now that i think of it, Link starts off as a total noob in every game, so im just plain confused. I think the storys used to be as i said above. But after the introduction of WW 100 years later, and soon twilight princess to be set some time before even WW, i think they decided that every link is different. And then theres the games with Vaati as the villain, which confuse the matter even more. Heres a timeline, it shatters my theory though, http://www.zeldauniv...t/view/383/421/
