Link
A naive but kind boy hailing from the Kokiri Forest. Click here for more details.
- Apologetic Attacker: Link apologizes to Twinrova for killing them as the latter is dying with tears in his eyes. Twinrova's last words are to call him weak.
- Badass Adorable: A kind-hearted ten-year-old who enjoys chocolate and has no issue giving money to the homeless. Also fights and defeats a wide variety of horrifying monstrosities over the story.
- Children Are Innocent: He has no knowledge of concepts like money. Justified, as he spent 10 years of his life in a forest inhabited by children.
- Instant Expert: Instantly knows how to handle nearly every weapon he comes across, implied to be a result of the Spirit of The Hero.
- It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: Link is the latest incarnation of the Spirit of the Hero who is destined to battle evil and save the world and he absolutely hates it. All it seems to get him is pain, trauma, almost dying dozens of times, and losing almost everyone he loves and cares about.
- Kid Hero: Deconstructed. The pressure of having to save the world at such a young age does not do any good for his mental state.
- Nice Guy: A genuinely nice and sweet boy who treats nearly everyone he comes across with kindness, and doesn't expect anything in return.
- Not So Stoic: The stoic mask he works so hard to maintain breaks many times throughout the story, and due to all the horrors he faces on his quest deteriorating his already fragile mental state, he reacts with shame every time.
- Super-Strength: Has a low-end version of this that allows him to cut through most enemies with ease, which becomes especially prevalent when he gains his adult form. Once he gets the Silver Guantlets, he becomes even more physically powerful.
- Would Hit a Girl: While Link doesn't make a habit of it and finds the instance traumatic, killing Twinrova weighs on him more because it's his first unambiguously human kill rather than the fact that she was a woman.
Navi
Link's trusted Fairy Companion. Click here for more details.
- Adaptational Badass: Is much more active during fights than her canon counterpart.
- Blinded by the Light: Is capable of releasing a bright flash that momentarily stuns enemies.
- Exposition Fairy: Navi serves as Link's main method of learning about the world, which is justified by the fact that she's spent many years exploring not only Hyrule but the lands outside of it, giving her greater knowledge about the wider world.
- Lying to Protect Your Feelings: Navi masquerades as Link's long-awaited guardian fairy to keep up the Great Deku Tree's lie of him being a true Kokiri, not without plenty of guilt on her part as she develops a mother-son bond with Link as the story progresses.
- Team Mom: She acts as Link's maternal figure, and gives him the emotional support that drives him forward on his journey.
