honestly it would be kind of funny to be an elderly link that finds a young boy coincidentally called link and you train him, traveling together up until he vanishes and you feel obligated to pull your gear together again and get back to your old days just to save the young boy you adopted like a son. on the journey you uncover that he is to become the new hero and feel more the need to save him.

@@BlackEpyon Maybe, but I think that would be better as something saved for the end of the story (kind of like the original Zorro's death at the end of The Mask of Zorro) and the new Link spending most of the game being infused with some of the Triforce of Courage's power by Old Link in a similar way that Ganondorf infused Zant with some of the Triforce of Power's power. Another thing that would be cool would be if Old Link essentially acts as the adventuring-companion in the game; communicating to Link through a magic device like Tetra and the King sometimes do in Wind Waker. Imagine New Link using that item to ask for hints, and Old Link thinking to himself, "I hope it never took me this long to figure out a puzzle when I was your age." One more small thing that could be interesting would be if the new Link has more personal conflict with Ganon's main minion (like Wind Waker Link vs the Helmaroc King because of the Helmaroc King abducting Link's sister), so Old Link initially keeps Ganon occupied while new Link fights said minion, and then new Link fights Ganon immediately afterward.

@Blank L yes but before he loses his memories he tells zelda why he doesn't talk much. He is shouldering burdens in silence as to keep them to himself and not relinquish them onto others.

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Someone didn't read Zelda's diary. He's just quiet when he's under stress. "Bit by bit, I've gotten Link to open up to me. It turns out he's quite a glutton. He can't resist a delicious meal! When I finally got around to asking why he's so quiet all the time, I could tell it was difficult for him to say. But he did. With so much at stake, and so many eyes upon him, he feels it necessary to stay strong and to silently bear any burden. A feeling I know all too well... For him, it has caused him to stop outwardly expressing his thoughts and feelings." He had to have had several conversations with Zelda in order to open up to her "bit by bit" Also, in several of his memories he is seen alone with each of the champions. They all had quite a bit to say to him, unless they all like to monologue for hours on end. And I doubt waking up to not knowing anything about yourself and being sent on a quest by a fraking ghost is a relaxing time that allows one to loosen up.

It's possible that when the hero "reincarnates" it's just the hero's spirit housed within the master sword choosing the next hero to share the power with. This would explain having two heroes at one time as well as the hero of legend retaining some of the strength despite not having the original masterword. So not only would Fi and the power of the goddess be in the mastersword but also the hero himself in some ambiguous form.

[@scottbruckner4653]

Kinda like how All-might could still go swole after giving Deku one for all?

[@CopperYeen]

So basically the Master Sword is a Pokéball you can kill monsters and the monster king himself with.. Link when throwing the Master Sword: ,,MASTER SWORD, GOOOO!"

[@PK-Radio]

That makes me think, Link kinda reminds me of Finn from adventure time. Finn also has a heroes spirit that reincarnates. Finn has reincarnated 6 times starting from the blue catalyst comet, To a butterfly, To a "thing", To a girl named Shoko, To Finn himself, And to shermy.

Hylians view them as prostituting savages...which as any woman can tell you, when a man thinks he has a “right” to you, ya tend to go Amazon just to be left alone.)

I have never heard this theory and I didn't know I would want it! Like seriously I could write an entire fanfiction series with how much headcanon I have for Gramps just watching this: Link becoming so powerful and proud he challenges the gods and usurps one, but it's this long-drawn out diety conspiracy that humbles him. He sets out on one last quest to cure his immortality. The Triforce does not grant his wish, so to gain an even greater power, he learns that he must release enough energy for the wish he needs. He strikes it with a magical hammer with his Godly Strength, so hard it shakes the Dark World and creates an imperfect copy, of it and the Triforce, creating Lorule. This returns the mantle to the God of Valor, sufficiently weakening him enough for the spirit of the hero to become reincarnated once again. hmm ok the drugs are wearing off

And for the fact that there can't be two hero at the same time, I don't think that Gramps is a hero anymore, he's fullfilled his role and I think that now he's just a buff old guy benefitting from all the training he had as a hero.

From the training he would be strong yes however, he wouldn't have the heroes cutting edge and clearly he is over powered, perhaps even stronger than the hero

[@tristanneal9552]

I think the reincarnation problem comes from the Buddhist idea of reincarnation. In that type of reincarnation, Link would have to die, because it’s a single spirit (atman) transferring to a new body after death. However there’s nothing to say for sure that it works this way in Zelda. Also, the hero of legend and the man’s player name is Legendary? Icing on the cake. I totally buy this theory.

[@mackchop3274]

Yeah, that's what's getting me side with this theory despite that counter arguement. If the hero shade, even as an astral projection, can teach TP Link his techniques, doesn't that mean the Hero can't be a soul for soul reincarnation? The hero's shade would just literally be the soul of TP Link at that point.

[@XonyMudd]

I don't think any of the Links are reincarnations (I used to). I think it was said that they're all different Links except where it is stated that a certain Link is the same as a previous Link. If they were all reincarnated, then Link wouldn't have to find the Triforce of Courage and would always just naturally possess it like Ganon\dorf since he actually reincarnates.

[@Lillyz1112]

XonyMudd well it’s stated in Hyrule Historia that every Link is a reincarnation of the original Link (the one in Skyward Sword) so it’s officially canon. Every Link is basically the same Link, just without the memories of his previous life.

[@mackchop3274]

@@Lillyz1112 The problem here is the logic contradicts itself then. If Link is a fully reincarnated soul every time, then hero shade shouldn't exist, because he would essentially be TP Link's spirit. To me, there's 3 options. There's a courageous essense that each Link is born with. Basically, it's more of an inherited attribute that is constantly being manifested in the heros that comes when there is need. The 2nd being that TP Link was somehow inwardly communing with his own reincarnated soul when he recieved lessons from the shade. Or 3rd, we just say they mixed it up, and it just doesn't mesh. I like trying to make sense of it, instead of just backing out by saying they got it wrong. That said, option 1 makes the most sense to me.

[@Lillyz1112]

Joshua Coulter I think it does work with the hero‘s Shade cause he’s dead, the way I see it is that he’s just some lingering ghost-thingy that stays around after fulfilling his purpose. It isn’t stated that the Hero‘s Shade still has his soul, it might just be a bunch of negative energy that stayed around cause of regrets etc (cause it’s stated that OoT Link had quite a load of regrets and such). You first point is pretty much debunked because it’s specifically stated in the book that the soul of SS Link gets reborn. The 2nd could work as well cause it’s all playing inside his head basically, it seems that Link is always knocked out during their meetings, Midna never questions it either.

So maybe it's not reincarnation process, but something like "being blessed or bestowed with the essence of the champion" and this blessing can apparently be shared.

He then says that he’s 130 years old. Okay, so I’m guessing everyone assumed that Link was about 118 but he must be older than that. When the guard was a child, Link wouldn’t have been born...unless he was older than that. Also, Mipha mentions in the “Mipha’s Touch” memory cutscene that, and I quote, “I thought it was odd that you looked older much sooner than I did.” What if he looked that way because he WAS older. So, had Link lied about his age? Regardless, he forgot about it from amnesia so it doesn’t really matter now, but still...

It was explicitly part of BotW that Zora have FAR longer lifespans. ALL of the Zora adults were alive at the time of the calamity with Link, and most of them remember him. There's also the side quest of helping a Hylian and Zora fall in love, and while the Hylian is physically an adult and the Zora a child, the Hylian remarks "she's a lot older than me".

[@AncientSkullKid]

When Link was sent back in time at the end of OoT, he ceased to exist in that timeline. He did not die. He ceased to exist. His soul no longer existed to be reincarnated. Yet Wind Waker Link is born. I personally believe "an incarnation of the hero" and "the spirit of the hero" are not referring to a reincarnation of the soul. The definition of an incarnation is not exclusively limited to a REincarnation. Just as you can have school spirit, so too you can have the spirit of the hero. Similarly, we know that more than 1 Zelda has existed at a time. The Zelda in the 1st game is not the same as the Zelda in the 2nd game (TAoL), yet the Link is the same Link. And we have a few examples of a mother Zelda teaching her daughter Zelda how to be...Zelda. Also, Demise's curse. "An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow" "Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero" The words used: Incarnation, not REincarnation. My hatred, not my soul. Blood, not soul. Spirit, not soul. Could there be more than 1 incarnation of hatred at a time? Vaati predates Ganondorf. OoT Ganondorf dies in TP. Another male Gerudo named Ganondorf is born in 4SA. That 2nd Ganon & Vaati are clearly alive at the same time in 4SA. Could Zant be an incarnation of hatred? Onox? Aghanim? Dethl? The magician who put TAoL Zelda in a magic ageless coma? Malladus? Yuga? Bellum? Majora?
