Link is the silent protagonist, chosen by the Master Sword to defeat Calamity Ganon. His abilities are primarily defined by his equipment, Sheikah Slate Runes, and the Champion abilities he gains. There are no traditional 'classes' or 'skill trees' for Link. His progression is tied to finding Shrines (for Heart Containers or Stamina Vessels) and collecting powerful gear.
- Health: Increased by exchanging 4 Spirit Orbs for a Heart Container at Goddess Statues.
- Stamina: Increased by exchanging 4 Spirit Orbs for a Stamina Vessel at Goddess Statues.
- Combat: Relies on weapon variety, shield parries, Flurry Rushes, and Rune usage.
Focus on balancing Heart Containers and Stamina Vessels based on your playstyle. More hearts for direct combat, more stamina for exploration and climbing.
