Page "Link (The Legend of Zelda)" Paragraph 10

He is a young Hylian boy who is renowned for his swordsmanship and fighting skill, such as his boomerang accuracy.

Every iteration of Link wears a green tunic and a long green Phrygian cap and has long, pointed ears, a distinctive trait of the Hylian race and their descendants.

In the Zelda trading cards released by Nintendo early in the series, it is stated that pointed ears are a sign of the Hylian royal family.

In episode 4 of the Adult Saga in the official Ocarina of Time manga series, " Link Vs. Link ", Impa gives Link earrings, describing it as a " rite of passage for young Sheikah men "; these later became default aspects of Link's design, starting with Twilight Princess and in Skyward Sword.

He has a Triforce mark on his left hand, marking him as the one who will find the Triforce of Courage.

He uses many weapons and items, such as bombs, the hookshot, the boomerang and the bow and arrows.

When he transforms into a wolf in the Twilight Realm in Twilight Princess, he reflects the mystical aspects of the transformation and his heroism.
