Link is often given the task of rescuing Princess Zelda in the most common setting of the series, Hyrule, from Ganon ( also known as Ganondorf ), a Gerudo chief who is the primary antagonist of the series.

Often, instruments trigger game events: for example, the recorder in The Legend of Zelda can reveal " secret " areas, as well as ' warp ' Link to the Dungeon entrances.

Hyrule's principal inhabitants are elfin humanoids called Hylians, which include the player character, Link, and the eponymous princess, Zelda.

While most titles require Link to save Zelda from Ganon, she is sometimes shown to be quite capable in battle, using magical powers and weapons such as Light Arrows to aid Link.

Link is also a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo GameCube, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii alongside Zelda ( also able to transform into Sheik ), Ganondorf and Young Link ( the child version of Link from Ocarina of Time ).
