This really makes Link's 100 year comatose so much more tragic, the way Zelda felt the guilt of seeing her father die, Link's father had to live his whole life with a similar regret towards his son
@@lameman2900Yes, but considering the fact that Link's father aould likely be into his late thirty, if not fortys by the time the calamity happens, he would almost surely not be an acting knight, although would likely be called to battle once Forr Hateno is a victory to dispatch some of the monsters. An old member of the milita being called back was not an uncommon thing during the world wars, why would this be different.
I just wish we got to at least be able to see a parent of links just once. I get the running theme in all these games is either they died, or just too far away to be with him, but if that means they're still around, I wish just once even if just a father of sorts like this one, it doesn't make the hero weaker, it gives him something more to fight for if you ask me.
@planetoforts given where link was implied to have grown up, his father was far more likely stationed at the citadel... the same one that got masacred a few weeks after he fell...
100 years later, Somewhere in the depths, a shade of a soldier looked up, Link could have sworn it smiled as it handed him the shiny royal guard broadsword. Its smile only grew brighter as he said “Thank you” before the specter vanished
For those who might be confused: the shrine of resurrection is a secret, so he and everybody else thinks link died in tbe guardian attack and was mutilated so badly they couldnt recover his body
I'm going to cry, his father most likely has no idea Link is in the Shrine of Resurrection. I do remember there was some concept art of Link having a dad or granddad with a little sister in Breathe of the Wild.
@@karatecat46 I believe (concept art withstanding as I haven't seen it) that it is straight up stated in game only Zelda and the Sheikah knew of the Resurrection plan... maybe only Impa and Purrah amongst the Sheikah. The Sheikah are secretive by nature and Zelda went off to trap the Calamity within the Castle. No one was around to tell anyone what was happening.
@@kennethmorgan8795 It makes sence. Otherwise there really no excuse for there not being anyone but a ghost to greet Link when he awoke. At the very least you'd think there'd be a couple of Sheikah guards up there if it wasn't a very closely guarded secret
I imagine if after Link defects the calamity he finds her sister's child. Shes in her 70s and she a grandmother. She only knows him through the stories and photos that her mother gave her. Imagine the talk that would unfold as Link's normal behavior falls into a crying heap. Her child then takes him to her father and mothers grave. As she leaves him by herself he sees the spirits of his sister and her husband. He then talks to them and now his sister requests that he must go find is mother's and father's graves and reconcile with them. His sister's 70 year old child watches all this in silence.. for she to see her mother's Spirit.
I'm picturing Zelda watching Link as he reads an old letter, tears running down his face She asks him what's wrong, but he can't find the words to answer
"My father followed in my brother's footsteps, taking it on himself to try to take up the mantle of hero that my brother was fated to be burdened with. He felt he must because he blamed himself for not fighting against destiny. Father never came home. I never knew my mother. All that remains of my family is this telescope and the name Father gave me: Aryll."
Great writing. I will say my head canon is that after the calamity she was taken in by a Lurlen Village member and raised until she was old enough to live on her own, had kids, they had kids, and they had kids, and one of them is Taruo. He fits Link's personality perfectly just without the pressure of royal observation.
Makes you wonder if Link's father and King Rhoam crossed paths while their spirits lingered. What I'd give to hear that conversation. I can only imagine it would start INSANELY heated, turn regretful, and end with some degree of understanding. In spite of it all, they would have to realize that perhaps their respective children were more incredible and more resilient than they ever realized in life. Once again, the fate of Hyrule would be in their hands, but this time without their families to love and support them when it was over. The mixture of loving pride and parental sorrow they feel must be the most bittersweet thing imaginable.
I can only imagine the emotions he must've felt when he reached the afterlife and Link wasn't there, was it joy that his son was still alive or disappointment that he couldn't get to see him again? It also makes me wonder if Link has any family around, like, maybe his sister's descendents, I doubt the games will touch upon that though...
In BOTW Link comes from a family of knights, so he probably had but we dont know if the father and others relatives were in active duty or not during the tragedy
His sister might still be alive, even. Hylians live much longer than real life humans do. Where we're lucky to live a century, they're lucky to live two centuries. As evidenced by Impa.

@@kingcamelot1395 kinda true but remember that during that century the monsters run a fade like in no other game happened in the kingdom, is more probably than not that Link's family fell, specially if they were with the knights during at least the first half of those 100 years
King Rhoam Hyrule in the Afterlife goes to Link's father distressed at not finding his son. King Rhoam Hyrule: There's something you should see. Proceeds to show him Link (Lore accurate) alive and kicking ass. Link's Father: THAT'S MY BOY!!
Imagine Link’s dad watching his son pull off one of those old shield bounce trick shot things from BotW speedruns only to immediately gun it toward Hyrule Castle, slaughter the four Ganons at the same time, and then immediately whoop Calamity Ganon too in the span of less than half an hour.
I wanna say. It must be hard for the daughter, because her dad (dad ?) is also constantly thinking about Link, and not about her. It also hurts the other kids when a parent loses their child
Not gonna lie, I clicked on this, thinking it might be the next part in the Hero's Shade story, but holy crap I did not expect how hard this was going to hit! This is so painful in an excellent way. Thank you! This is fantastic work from y'all and the comic artist!!
I remember in BotW, by Link's house on an island in the pond, there's a rusty weapon laying there. I like to imagine that's where Link's dad was laid to rest.
I sincerely wonder what it's like to be the dad of a hero. You try ro protect and raise this kid. And they go off doing it for an entire civilization. It must be equal parts terrifying and pride.
Imagine if this was in an old diary you could read. Also, screw those people who judged the dad. What could he have done to prevent Link's fate? It's either he tries to save his son and risk his entire kingdom all to stop a prophecy that might just come true regardless, or he accepts his son's fate.
With everything that went around in Breath of the Wild, the Link of that game is one of the most tragic versions of Link depicted, and its such a shame that Nintendo didn't make Link an old man for being in a coma for about a 100 years, as all the requirements they needed to give Link those conditions were all there, and Link would have been a badass oldman after awakening from his coma and kicking some ass in his old condition, and it would have made perfect sense why Link had low health and stamina, since he was basically in the body of an old man, and clearing each shrine would have felt more satisfying as you could see Link restoring his youth basically, by absorbing all of the spirit essences, and it would have been very rewarding that the prize for clearing all shrines would be to see Link again in the prime of his youth, rather than just unlocking that cheap tunic of the wild we got in the actual game...
Personally, I always found myself wondering about Link's dad, given the small mention of him from Zelda in one of the memories. She states Link followed his footsteps in becoming a knight, so I figured he served during the same time as Link, even though their paths took them separate directions. (I mean I suppose he could have served before, and/or been retired or sadly already deceased, but I like to think not.) As sad as it is, I always figured and imagined he died at the Akkala Citadel to the guardians attacking it, helping to defend the others, given they state that was Hyrule's last stand. Could you imagine Link finding something of his there, in the ruins, that somehow lasted after so long? The visual reminding him more of what he lost... I also loved to imagine, in contrast to Zelda and Rhoam's strained relationship, that Link and his father were very close. That he would have been there to support Link's new responsibility, as he sadly watched his son slowly decline into silence under the pure pressure of keeping the princess safe and upholding the legend. The pride he must have felt to find out his son was the one, only for reality to come crashing down with the mental toll. I honestly want more content exploring Link's dad, and family in general, but I understand why Nintendo might keep quiet about it as to not limit fans imaginations. I need more angst like this, give me more sad, adorable content about Link's family. ;~; I love to see everyone's separate ideas on this mysterious man and their relationship.
Not gonna lie, after this i had to go watch one of the videos of link being an absolute badass in botw/totk, just to remind myself what Link may have turned that pain into.
Honestly, this could have been a very interesting possibility After the 100 years coma, he remembers his father and mother, finds their tombs and discovers that his sister survived, and now he is a great-great uncle
He would be. My vote is that his sister moved to Lurlen to escape the trauma and met someone had kids, then grand kids, then great grand kids, and one of the great grand kids is Tauro.
Father always think for the safety of his family and for a father nothing more painful than a goodbye for his children's, now I know what my father always feel.
I wouldn’t mind having a zelda game with Link’s full family. We’ve never met any hero’s parents (no the manga doesn’t count) just grandparents, uncles, and sisters. I think it might be neat to finally meet the progenitors of some version of Link. See what kind of people create a legendary hero.
The fact that Link's father just wants to throw everything away, knowing he most likely will die in battle and actually secretly wants to even though he has a daughter who still very much loves him. This really got me. 😢
The Father cannot simply run away from the fate. If there is no Hero to face that evil, then not even the Gods would be able to permamently save you. And if he would have thrown the Master Sword aside, I think Fi would have come out and explained the same thing.
I imagine if Link finds her sister's child. Shes in her 70s and she only knows him through the stories and photos her mother gave her. Imagine the talk that would unfold as Link's normal behavior falls into a crying heap. Her child then takes him to her father and mothers grave. As she leaves him by herself he sees the spirits of his sister and her husband.
Since Link was never shown to have the triforce, I have a headcanon that his father possessed the triforce of courage. He had a close connection with the royal family, which is why Link was chosen as a knight. He was also friends with Ganondorf, but they had a falling out over his ambitions of power, and Link's father stole the triforce of power from him and secretly gave all the pieces to a young zelda. Ganondorf felt so enraged by this betrayal that he turned into calamity ganon, to which Link's father sacrificed his life to temporarily seal the calamity away.
I’m actually gonna cry Link dying had never come to my mind- he always succeeded And then hyrule was saved blah blah blah backstory stuff But- did we ever care about his family? What he went through during that time- the pressure he was under? That poor thing And his father having suicidal thoughts after his death is just- heartbreaking He may just be a video game character but I respect how much effort the creators put into his character and the amount of similarities he has with some people is mind blowing Edit: ik the purpose of this video It’s about link „dying“ but then he was sent to the shrine of resurrection and his father didn’t know But what is said- is a different way to look at it What if he *did* fail?
@kyherman1802 ahh yes- But if you think about it- if there’d ever be a timeline where link dies and veils do save hyrule and Zelda The timelines wouldn’t continue But link is the hero- they were made to succeed no matter how so it’s basically impossible But- I love making up silly scenarios up in my head that would make link die and then make a weird a story…don’t- don’t question it
I cant remember most of my life, people I'm told Id loved have died without me ever being able to recall their names. Its part of the reason why I cherished BoTW as much as I did, when you learn something for the first time only to be told that it isn't the first something inside of you just snaps. I try to find it in my memories, but It isn't there. I had a Boyfriend, my friends say I loved him but I dont even recognize his face. Mipha was that to Link.
Damn, this cuts deep. Bad enough to witness a kingdom fall, but to imagine a father believing his son died without knowing the truth? Gods…if this was added to Breath of the Wild people would be screaming through their tears as being so cruel.
I admit, I always assumed that Link's dad would have died since he was a knight and likely was either at the castle or at least in Castle Town when the Calamity appeared. But this... this hurts quite a bit more.
At the end of the day Zelda is a tragic game even if we don't see all the tragedy on screen every Zelda game is like this from The hero of time quietly dying thinking he was the hero of nothing to the hero of the Wild leaving everything behind for a life he couldn't choose
Damn this got dark really fast I wonder if link even remembers his father and sister that's really sad than the dad left for war leaving links sister to fend for herself how tragic the whole family left in ruins
Inspired from concept art in the Japanese version of the "Creating a Champion" book that depicts Link having a dad and a sister

But- I love making up silly scenarios up in my head that would make link die and then make a weird a story…don’t- don’t question it
For some moments in life, there are no words.
NO THATS SO SAD HE DIED AT WAR IN HOPES OF SEEING HIS SON! God I hope he was one of the ghosts down in the depths that we help move on
This comic made me feel emotional pain. 💔
If only link would see how proud his father is
Okay wow I did not expect that
King rhoam turn into adult and Zelda mother talking about link father
I think I heard a Rumor that Link was the Son of Ganondorf.
....I'm gonna cry and it's not even 9 am! 😢
Tragic and pretty agghhh
I cant remember most of my life, people I'm told Id loved have died without me ever being able to recall their names. Its part of the reason why I cherished BoTW as much as I did, when you learn something for the first time only to be told that it isn't the first something inside of you just snaps. I try to find it in my memories, but It isn't there. I had a Boyfriend, my friends say I loved him but I dont even recognize his face. Mipha was that to Link.
I'M FULL OF FEELINGS! YES I'M CRYING AND YOU SHOULD TOO! 😭
Damn, this cuts deep. Bad enough to witness a kingdom fall, but to imagine a father believing his son died without knowing the truth? Gods…if this was added to Breath of the Wild people would be screaming through their tears as being so cruel.
Beautiful
I admit, I always assumed that Link's dad would have died since he was a knight and likely was either at the castle or at least in Castle Town when the Calamity appeared. But this... this hurts quite a bit more.
At the end of the day Zelda is a tragic game even if we don't see all the tragedy on screen every Zelda game is like this from The hero of time quietly dying thinking he was the hero of nothing to the hero of the Wild leaving everything behind for a life he couldn't choose
This was so emotional 😭
i got chills
I feel bad for him.Thinking his son was murdered.
For some reason I straight up thought that this was twilight princess era when I clicked on this
I'm crying dawg 😭😭
help me I'm crying
Has her ever said MY BOY?
Do the accompanying Arryl one next!
Ouch, ah, ui. My heart. I didn’t think I get such video while eating pancakes.
I don't remember that Link has a family and he grabbed that sword from the pedestal in the legend of zelda ocarina of time
Damn this got dark really fast I wonder if link even remembers his father and sister that's really sad than the dad left for war leaving links sister to fend for herself how tragic the whole family left in ruins
