The first Link we ever saw (though actually the 10th Link of his timeline) this is the original Hero of Hyrule. After Ganon stole the Triforce of Power and plunged Hyrule into darkness, Zelda managed to split the Triforce of Wisdom into eight pieces before being kidnapped. She sends Impa to find a hero strong enough to reassemble the Triforce and defeat Ganon. She finds Link, who saves her from a monster attack. Now, his journey begins!
