Link

Link is the main, playable character in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He is also the main character in all other Zelda games, and in Breath of the Wild, he wakes up after a 100 year sleep and ventures to save Hyrule from Calamity Ganon. He regains some of his memories along the way, revealing that he was friends with Princess Zelda. Link is 17 years old.

Appearance
Link is a teenage boy with golden-blonde hair that is pulled into a small ponytail and falls past his ears and blue eyes. He wears many outfits throughout the course of the game, but is most often pictured in the Champion's Tunic, a blue short-sleeved tunic over a long-sleeved white shirt and pants with boots with multiple belts. He can also wear his classic green tunic and cap, although it is only available with an Amiibo. Link wears many other outfits as well. His ears are pierced with small blue hoops.

History
It's not entirely clear where BotW fits in on the Zelda timeline, although it has been confirmed that it is at the end. Link wakes up at the beginning of the game after a 100 year sleep, and it is unclear when he fell asleep on the timeline. When he awoke, he was sent to fight Calamity Ganon, who had risen to power during his slumber.

Trivia

 * Breath of the Wild is the first game where Link:
 * Collects multiple outfits and does not start in his classic green tunic
 * Does not collect hearts to restore his health but instead eats food to do so
 * Link can use the Paraglider, which has led some to believe he is incredibly light. Link was discovered to only weigh as much as eight and a half apples when tested on a scale in a Shrine.
