'''Link''' is the main protagonist of [[The Legend of Zelda (franchise)|''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise]], having debuted in the game of the [[The Legend of Zelda|same name]]. He is the main playable character in every [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|main series]] title. Link usually depicted as wearing a green tunic and a [[sword]] and a [[shield]] for his main weapon. Many incarnations of Link, as well as [[Princess Zelda]], appear throughout the series. Every incarnation of Link is part of the [[Hylian]] race, and in the games, he is either a child, a teenager, or a young adult. The relation between some of Link's incarnations are only explained in some games, with sources such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia]]'' creating broader maps.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Link returns as a playable character, though some of his moves have been changed. His standard special attack has been replaced with the [[Bow]], which lets Link shoot an arrow that can be charged; the boomerang has instead been made his side special move. His other specials are kept the same, as has the Hookshot. ''Melee'' is also the first game to feature Link's ability to use his [[Hylian Shield]] to defend himself from projectile attacks while standing still.
In the game's Adventure Mode, Link is fought in the [[Underground Maze]] stage. He can be found at fake pedestals for the Master Sword (wearing a different tunic each time) as fighters search for the Triforce to end the level. [[Young Link]], Link's childhood self from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', is also a separate playable character, much in the same manner that [[Mario]] and [[Baby Mario]] often appear in the same games.
Additionally, a doppelganger of Link, known as [[Dark Link]]
