I love link, every single one of his reincarnations is dear to me. I remember being 6, not fully understating english and playing Ocarina Of Time and having no clue what was I doing, but I was having fun.

Link is (unironically) one of my biggest inspiration for courage and compassion, I know we technically choose the options on the game, but I always felt that he liked when we were nice and did all the side quests to help everyone. I want to make a big mention to Majora's Mask Link, this was my second game (after finishing OoT somehow), in this one I was more conscious of what was I doing, I remember being so stressed because I wanted to help everyone and not reverse time and undoing all the help I've given them because I wanted them to be happy, especially Anju and Kafei. After beating Majora and seeing the end credits I realized that despite everything everyone was happy, so all the hardships and heartbreak was worth it (perhaps this is the reason I studied social psychology lol).

The next Link that marked me was Twilight Princess Link, I loved the aesthetic of the game and Midna, god how I love Midna (she was one of my earliest gay awakenings). So, back to Link, he is so cute in this game, seeing him with the cats was the best thing ever, I love how this link is more gentle, he is literally the boy next door and I love him.

Also, a big mention to Skyward sword link, his relationship with Zelda basically made me realize how I wanted a relationship to be. And last but not least, Wild era Link, I was in my mid teens when BoTW came out, and it shaped a lot of my love for modern video games (I was in a "I only play retro games, the ones that are coming out now are rubbish" stage of my development, I was just a moody teenager). Link in this reincarnation is so so so gentlemanly and wild, I love how he wakes up and immediately grabs a stick to fight bokoblins (or ganon if you are that insane), I love him so much, I don't want to go too in dept about the game bc I have planned another shrine for that, so I basically just love Link.
