Link the Hero of Time bears are tragic and solemn story. It is a tale that begins and ends in the same location, the forest. Does the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess HD bring any new information regarding Link, the Hero of Time? Perhaps it does. This video attempts to follow the chronicle of the Hero of Time, frame cradle to grave. Throughout the Legend of Zelda series, heroes have been selected to defend both Princess Zelda and the Triforce from the forces of darkness. However this duty holds a tragic repetition, one that comes at the expense of each hero’s happiness. The Hero of Time doesn’t exactly have the easiest of lives, but his work while living became instrumental for the continued stability of the kingdom of Hyrule. Enjoy the video!
