character information ● name: Link ● canon: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ● canon point: Mid-game, specifically after he wakes from the Shrine of Resurrection, leaves the Great Plateau and manages to free Vah Ruta and Vah Rudania from Ganon. He’s recovered a handful of memories, but not all. Please let me know if you need more specifics. ● age: ~17 (Not counting the 100 years he was in stasis)
● abilities: Link is an accomplished knight and is well trained in a variety of weapons, including broadswords, shields, archery, claymores, and spears/halberds. He is also a skilled horseman who is capable of training horses captured wild and also able to engage in combat on horseback. He also has survivalist skills and has knowledge on Hyrule’s plant and animal life to be able to cook and make elixers (the game’s version of potions/medicines.) Of course, this may not apply very well to Riverview as he wouldn’t have any knowledge of anything not found within Hyrule. While Link is never shown in-game of crafting, given his survivalist skills I would think that he also has some knowledge of making his own weapons, though they would be simple and of low durability.
Link also obtains powers given by each Champion he has freed from Calamity Ganon, though I would expect each of these to be nerfed at Riverview due to the fact that it seems that Link must have some kind of contact with their spirits in order for them to work. (Also, it might make him a bit OP, so I’m willing to do without them regardless of what canon point I choose.)
● strengths: Link is the strong and silent type, and there’s both good and bad things about that. When it comes to a serious or potentially life-threatening situation, Link is good to turn to as he tends to keep his cool and doesn’t falter under pressure. He has a very clear sense of duty and believes that he should use his strengths to protect those who are unable to protect themselves. When assigned as Princess Zelda’s personal guard, he’s met with a very frustrated Zelda as she doesn’t believe she needs one. (There are other factors that make her frustrated with Link’s presence, though they’re not relevant here.) Despite being ordered to leave, Link continues to follow Zelda, though often unseen to keep an eye on her. (He was ordered by her father, the King of Hyrule to protect her, and one could also come to the conclusion that the King’s orders are to be followed before the Princess’.) When she does run into trouble, Link is there to drive off the assailants and their relationship improves. Back off that tangent, Link is a good listener. As a part of his altruistic nature, Link likes to help others if he can and will often go out of his way to do so. However, he’s not one to be taken advantage over as he does expect some kind of compensation for his efforts, though he wouldn’t expect unfair payments. (That is, he’s not going to expect a poor traveler to cough up a lot of money for his help, but he’s fine with receiving a meal or other resources.)
● weaknesses: Link’s “strong and silent” personality of course has it’s downsides. Part of the reason of his rocky start with Zelda is his silence, as it can be off-putting. His lack of outward emotion also makes it harder to form social relationships and people do seem annoyed with it from time to time. His determination could possibly be interpreted as stubbornness by some. His willingness to risk his neck for others is often seen as a good trait, but it does put his risk of injury and death a lot higher for that, and Zelda herself remarks about how his courage runs very close along the lines of recklessness. Link seems to have the philosophy that “you don’t know until you try,” though at times he does try to do something without giving it as much thought and preparation as he should.
● job skills (optional): Link would join the Surveyors in the Perimeter Guard, though not right away. In keeping with how I play Breath of the Wild, Link would want to get his bearings in the city, get to know people and maybe do a few odd jobs if he could before eventually joining. Link could also be an instructor for archery, swords, and spears.
● housing (optional): I have no preference, and Link wouldn’t either. It’s very likely that whatever housing he’s given he won’t use much.
● network username: Link
● network sample:Does anyone know the source of the monsters outside of the city? I noticed that defenses for the city are more focused on any attacks that might be made by the creatures outside of the city, but it might be worth it to look into where they come from and wiping them out at the source to allow people to move outside of the city and expand on resources.
Whether or not anyone knows, I’m preparing to go out myself on reconnaissance. If anyone’s interested or knows anything that might help, please let me know.
● prose/action sample: Link stood up and stretched to get rid of any stiffness from sitting by the fire all night. He quickly ate a simple, yet filling breakfast before putting out the last embers of the fire and emerging from the overhang where he had made camp for the night. He had begun exploring the abandoned city the day before, but so far hadn’t found anything worth noting, though was surprised at the lack of monsters around. The decayed buildings and broken roads was a strong reminder of the world he had been pulled from, as the Calamity had left the civilization of Hyrule in shambles, and monsters roamed freely in most places there as well. The architecture and scale were different, but the situation he found himself in was more or less the same as before he had arrived in Riverview.
Link had been exploring for a couple hours, pushing for the edge of the abandoned city and the beginning of the wilder areas around when he heard movement from something nearby. He crouched and slowly and silently around the decayed walls, taking care to look out for anything before moving from one hiding spot to the next. He eventually came upon a creature he had never seen before, but it was clear that it was one of the monsters he had heard about back in the city.
The monster was quite large, at least three times Link’s size. Its body was like that of a person, just really big, but it’s head didn’t seem to fit it as it was that of a bull. It was rooting around the overgrowth as if looking for something, and a large make-shift weapon hammer made from a large steel rod and the head made of cracking concrete. It reminded Link of the lynels that he had encountered around Hyrule, and he made a mental note to be extra careful not to alert it to his presence, at least, not until he knew if there were any more nearby.
Slowly, Link made his way around to look for higher ground to get a better look of the place and to see if this monster was alone. Thankfully, it seemed preoccupied with something, so it wasn’t hard to get by. Link made it to a crumbling, but still somewhat stable pillar that used to hold up an overpass and started to climb, making sure he wouldn’t be in sight of the monster he had found. Once he made it to the top, it was easy to see that this thing was indeed alone. Good. Time to see what it was made of. Link quietly took out his bow and knocked and arrow, taking aim at the creature. He wouldn’t know how it fought unless he saw it firsthand.
