The Legend of Zelda franchise has many mysteries and a rich history to discuss, so for this Origin Oracle, we're going to take a look at Link...the original one. How did Nintendo come up with his character and design. I'm TheMentok and we'll be journeying back to the 1980s to discuss origins of Link as well as the Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: Adventure of Link.
