About
L*nk is a Rare Character that can be found and recruited through an Event while driving. He is 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
- Leyenk
If L*nk is recruited his Strength and Fitness will be revealed.
L*nk has two inventory 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.
Encounter Text
Upon Encounter
[Name] investigates some loud crashing noises from a crafts store.
There is a man dressed in green, smashing pottery with a gigantic sword. The sword clangs against the ground as it slams through each pot, but doesn't bend.
After watching this go on for quite awhile, it's clear there is something deeply wrong with this person.
Upon Recruitment
L*nk picks up a stick and then holds it towards the sky awkwardly. From nowhere, a little tune plays.
If Party is Full
KYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" This means that L*nk thinks the group is too full. Replace someone to make room?

Trivia
- Every item L*nk finds is a reference to similar items that can be found in most Legend of Zelda games.
- The final sword L*nk finds, the 'M*ster Sword', is a parody of the 'Master Sword' a recurring weapon of the Legend of Zelda games.
- The M*ster Sword - much like L*nk - can vary in name and will have one of the following names when encountered (M*ster Sword/Mester Sword/Mister Sword/Moster Sword/Muster Sword/Myster Sword).
- The final sword L*nk finds, the 'M*ster Sword', is a parody of the 'Master Sword' a recurring weapon of the Legend of Zelda games.
- The unique text in L*nk's status screen says: "L*nk isn't based on anything and if he is, he is a parody."
- When L*nk finds items the title of the text window is "DA NA NA NAAAAAAA!" - A reference to the jingle that plays when Link opens chests in many of the Legend of Zelda games. - Example
- The sword spin L*nk does when morale is low is a reference to a recurring skill in 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 who provides Link with a wooden sword and says "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!" - Image here.
