off topic from echoes of wisdom but i feel like sometimes people forget that the very first link in the legend of zelda series, the hero of hyrule himself, defeated ganon not with the help of the triforce of courage but with the help of the triforce of wisdom. that's very much what makes him stand out from all the other links (that and his sheer innate magical ability—there is not a single other link in the series who was capable of magic on the same level as the hero of hyrule was). or maybe people just don't pay attention to the original two games but i do and the hero of hyrule is definitely up there on the list of my favorite links.

#i do still think his story had a bad ending. what with the blood cult and all. but god if he wasn't one of the most overpowered links ever.#his problem was that nobody had ever taught him spells prior to aol so he had to work on them but once he DID learn spells in aol....#well. there is no other link in the series who is capable of straight up murdering every enemy on-screen save for the most powerful ones #without the help of an item (like the bombos medallion in alttp).#anyway. love him dearly. love how detached he was from the tf of courage & how close he seemingly was with power and wisdom #(it's implied he took them both with him when he left hyrule as per the game manual & still had them when he came back to help out with #reconstruction because he already has them both at the very end of aol with no mention of ever putting them anywhere else before that).#txt
