About
L*nk is a recruitable Rare Character based on Link, the protagonist from the Legend of Zelda franchise. His appearance is a very clear homage to Link right down to the Weapons.
L*nk does not speak, instead he simply shouts different variations of "HYAAAA." This includes whenever he attacks with his sword.
L*nk can be found under a variety of different names in-game which are shown here:
- L*nk
- Lenk
- Lonk
- Lunk
- Lank
If L*nk is recruited his Strength and Fitness will be revealed to be on the high-side of the spectrum.
L*nk has two inventories slots. One slot will always be taken up by his sword, which can not be dropped. The other slot can however be swapped out and will initially contain a Branch.

Special Abilities
L*nk has two notable special abilities.
Firstly, if L*nk's morale gets too low he will begin to swing his sword around. This will hurt all members of the party and boost his morale back up.
Secondly, while in the party L*nk will begin to find items and upgrade his sword over time.
He will begin with a wooden sword named Take This and a melee weapon called a Branch.
Eventually he will find a chest containing a Wooden Boomerang.
Next, he will find a new sword called the White Sword, this will replace the wooden one.
Next, he will find a chest containing a Metal Boomerang.
Next, he will find a new sword called the Moster Sword, this will replace the white one.
Finally, he will find one more chest which will contain one of two items the player can pick between:
- Bag of Bombs
- Heart Piece
Trivia
- Every item L*nk finds is a reference to items that can be found in most Legend of Zelda games.
- The sword spin L*nk does when morale is low is a reference to a recurring skill in 3D Zelda games where Link can charge his sword up and do a powerful spinning attack.
- L*nk is repeatedly inferred to have some kind of mental illness because he only communicates by shouting. Not only is this a nod to the fact Link is a silent protagonist, it also leads to some comical dialogue between him and survivors while on the road.
- The name of L*nk's wooden sword 'Take This' is a nod to the 'Old Man' from the first Legend of Zelda game he provides Link with a wooden sword and says "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!" - Image here.
