Link, the main character of the series, in many different incarnations across the series, as depicted in The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia.

For detailed information about this series, see: Zelda Wiki or Zeldapedia.

The Legend of Zelda, or Zelda for short, is a high fantasy, action-adventure video game series by Nintendo.

Most of the games share the same characters, with the player controlling the hero Link in most of them, saving the eponymous princess Zelda who often must be rescued from an evil villain (Ganon being the most frequently encountered), in a number of lands or islands, again most frequently the Land of Hyrule; the worlds and characters, however, are often radically different in different episodes of the series.
