The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

リンク

Link's debut occurred in the 1986 action-adventure title The Legend of Zelda, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (originally in Japan on the Family Computer Disk System). Since that inaugural appearance, he has been a constant presence in virtually all mainline entries in the franchise, with the sole exceptions being the Japan-exclusive Satellaview titles, which are regarded as non-canonical.

The mortal incarnation of the Goddess Hylia, Zelda was chosen by destiny to be the keeper of the Triforce of Wisdom, which is the main reason she plays such an integral role in the legends of Hyrule, much like Link does with the Triforce of Courage or Ganon with the Triforce of Power. Just like the former, Princess Zelda is not a single individual within the franchise, but rather various individuals incarnated with the same name that have appeared across the history of Hyrule. Unlike Link, however, all of the iterations of the character belong to the same familial bloodline. Like Ganon, she also has had a couple of alter-egos such as Sheik and Tetra. Whilst each Zelda is distinct, the "fundamental soul" of the character Hylia has endured throughout each generation.

Notably, as Ganon is revealed to be the endless reincarnation of Demise's hatred from Skyward Sword, and that villain himself is a humanoid, Ganondorf much more closely resembles him.

Ghanti first makes her appearance in the manga during a raid on a carriage that Link is travelling in. Her raid is actually advantageous to Link, as the well-dressed middle aged lady that is the target of the bandit group had just realized that Link was a wanted man, accused of the kidnapping of Princess Zelda, and had just called for help from the castle guards. As the bandits attack, the soldiers state that crossing the king's guards will land them in prison, although Ghanti responds that they are already bandits. Ghanti destroys the soldiers, who are not human, but living darkness controlled by Agahnim. Breaking into the carriage, she states that she has no issue with Link, as they only rob from the rich. Unfortunately for Ghanti and the bandits, reinforcements arrive. Link takes control of the carriage to escape, leaving the small group of rogues fighting the soldiers. In the end, Ghanti manages to escape, and follows Link to Kakariko Village. At a saloon there, she confronts the hero and accuses him of escaping with her loot. Link realizes the bandit is wounded, and calls for a doctor. He is questioned about helping a bandit, but Link explains that he escaped because of her. Link asks Ghanti what happened to her companions. She tells him that the small group of bandits she was with were either caught or killed by the soldiers, with everyone else scattering. Link is warned about soldiers outside the saloon, but before leaving he asks the men to protect Ghanti for him.
