Where is Link actually from?
The story from LoZ tells us Link meets Impa in his travels and also implies that he isn't from Hyrule because Impa has to explain not only the history (anyone can be ignorant of that), but the current affairs of Hyrule as well.
The game starts off by positioning Link facing North, giving him the option to go West, North, and East, where going either West or East would lead to a dead end (and it likely would not be where he came from, reason being that it would have already been "explored"). That would indicate Link is from the somewhere in the South.
What is South of Hyrule? Is there a greater part of the Kingdom of Hyrule to the South that wouldn't receive much news from the North? The prelude explains the area that the game takes place in is "a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule". But the other possibility is that Link a total foreigner.
Where is Link actually from?
Detroit
Germany. Hyrule is Hyborea.
Perhaps his ancestors fled Hyrule to survive after Ganon had succeeded?
And where did they go? Where are they from so that Link would be travelling without a clue as to what is going on in Hyrule?
Does the world in the legend of zelda even have any other confirmed locations other than Hyrule?
The only ones I can think of are Termina which may not be real, and Lorule which is a mirror world.
No idea, other countries exist in Zelda, but most of the time, those countries are already gone. He was probably from a small secluded tribe in the fringes of Hyrule.
Assuming like OP that he is from the south, maybe he's from Lurelin Village? They're fairly secluded, assuming it existed at that time.
absolutely based
He is a native born Terminan. He can wear the masks, he looks like a person in Terminal, and is very intimate with the towns people and the females in a long-bonding sort of way.
Didn't the comics have him be from Calatia?
Thats about as canon of a explanation as we'll get, nice thinking user.
labrynna
holodrum
kinda implied that ordon isn't part of hyrule proper but that's a little wobbly
wherever faraway land that parka guy from ww is from
that new continent from the ds games hardly counts if at all
termina is real you doofus
Ordona is south of Hyrule and seems recently annexed or not entirely part of Hyrule yet, so Link being from Ordona here and thus not knowing much about Hyrule makes sense to me.
Link is regularly framed as an outsider to the society of whatever game he's in to better put the player in the shoes of a protagonist entering a more fantastical world than the one he knows (he's the "link" between the player and the game). In fact, this is such a constant motif in the series it'd be easier to list the games it doesn't show up in.
As to the specific "where" he's from in the original Zelda: nobody knows, least of all the people who made the game. Zelda's very loosey-goosey with that kind of stuff. All the really interesting stuff in Zelda omes from how the series plays with mythemes, classical philosophical concepts, and story-telling motifs - not "which kingdom is over there", no one cares about that and there's no answer.
>no one cares about that and there's no answer.
I kinda did regarding those regions bordering the playable hyrule in botw.
What does links triforce actually do? It's the triforce of courage, so is he braver then the average Hyrulian
it can bake beans and do long division. The people of hyrule are all stupid as fuck so so this is significant here
He gets the triforce because he's braver. It doesn'tmake him braver. His bravery is what makes him earn it. As for what it does idk, SAVE/LOAD powers
>Hyrule
The Capcom games introduced Labrynna and Holodrum.
>WW Link
>does not use the Triforce
he uses it to get back to Hyrule in the 2nd half of the game
