If you've played enough Zelda, you'll know that whenever they refer to the Spin Attack or other stuff like that, they'll mention Link's bloodline and such.
So like, Link would've had to get married or had some sort of relationship with someone to even have a bloodline right? You can't just pass on stuff through the bloodline without being an actual relative lol.
Did they ever touch on this subject or not? XD
Plus, another interesting thing is that for those who have played Twilight Princess, you'll know there's a minor character named the Hero's Shade, who teaches you all the awesome moves in the game. Is it possible that the Hero's Shade is spirit of the Hero of Time? Since he claimed that he had once "accepted life of the hero.", he knows all these moves, the songs on the Howling Stones used to summon him were mostly from the Hero of Time games, And the fact that he looks like a Stalfos is pretty interesting because according to a Kokiri in Ocarina of Time, when someone wanders in the Lost Woods without a fairy too long, they become a Stalfos.
Note, I did my research, and not come up with this whole thing hahaha. It just makes a lot of sense to me XD.

It makes sense to me too, even though I never really thought about it. I don't know who he would have married though...

Well I for one already think that a few of the Links are different people (as seen in my timeline theory).
Have they touched on who each Link gets with?
No, not that I know of.
I would guess though that one of the Links probably goes with Malon, though this is wild speculation on my part.
Though it does make sense sort of.

DarkHyren : Mmhmm, I think the Links are different too, but I guess it's just as simple as Link just finding someone, and having a family.

I would agree that the Hero's Shade is the spirit of the Hero of Time. As for him being a stalfos, he IS dead.

Nah, I don't think its the Link of old but, perhaps the spirit of a knight before Link's time who could have possibly have been a hero at his time. It's a good theory although maybe Link hooked up with Malon and knocked her up which is why the current Link has the Triforce of Courage and why he works at a Farm.

TheOmegaDragon : Well, but I mean, the Hero's Shade could've died or moved on as a Stalfos, since it's sort of possible that he never had a fairy at the end of Majora's. Tatl and Navi weren't with him when he went back, and he was at the Lost Woods before he entered Termina.

mdynasty926 : Didn't Link grow up in a forests without a fairy? Being the hero of time and bearer of the triforce of courage he couldn't have succumb to a curse. Link doesn't speak and the body structure doesn't match up well. The hero's shade probably existed longer than Link(the first one), he probably has connections to Hyrule's past knowing the melodies the Ocarina of Time has played. So the hero's shade might have more of a close connection to the Ocarina of Time and not Link himself.

TheOmegaDragon : Meh, the Lost Woods and the Kokiri Forest are two different things, but I guess it's only a theory lol

Link probably married Zelda or something...

Is it possible that, as the hero of time, his bloodline is passed down through history, the way the dalai lama are viewed to be reincarnations of Buddha?

cob : Ehhhh... not as much...
I mean, I know they didn't touch on the subject that much, but he probably just had a family XD

Maybe it's reincarnation? Think about it, everytime a Hyrule is going to be in trouble, a Link is born. Maybe the goddesses can predict when danger happens and allows Link to reincarnate multiple times because he's a hero, with no real memory of his past lives?

But that's my theory. The multiple timelines still confuses me when a new Zelda game is made.

Kaiser19 : well, I mean, sometimes Link's referred as "incarnations" of Link, but I don't quite think it's like... reincarnation exactly. I've always thought it was just generation after generation.
And, there's definitely a split timeline.

He's like Dracula, he gets all the ladies. Remember the time he entered random women's houses? What do you think was going on in there?

Every Link is from a woman that Link the Father slept with, and then Little Links came out like a bunch of sea turtles, and had to fend for themselves. One was a drug head(the one from Minish Cap). One was a furry that went insane, yet was far from being a sociopath or psychopath. One is a female, but pretends to be a male. It also was taught how to look more manly by Princess Zelda.

lol at the Little Links thing

Maybe Link just has some brothers and sisters that he never met. Or it could be like a Jesus thing XD

never really thought about that but then again i never pay much attention to the story when it comes to zelda its very much the same. GREAT GAMES THOUGH

i hate thinking at all about the timeline because its so COMPLICATED! i dont even wanna knw where skyward sword is gonna go

I usually get a headache when I think about Link's linage. I've heard some say that Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are on two separate parallel time lines because of the time warping in Ocarina. And that Oracle of Ages and Seasons are set right before Link's Awakening but after Link to the past and...ARG!

Well if you think about it, in most of the games, the Link is not a direct decendant of the last, although this is not the case for all of them. But for the ones that were directly decended from the origianl one, then one would have to think that he couldn't have married Zelda, because if that were the case he would be royalty, be part of the royal family, and ruin the chances of future Link and Zelda relations, as that would be insest. So I'm guessing, that somewhere along the way of all of the games, that Link went his seperate way and...you know. But the real question is...Who has Zelda been getting with through all the generations! o_0
