Link is the primary protagonist of Link: The Faces of Evil, a non-canon Zelda title made for the Phillips CD-i. Unlike most other incarnations, this Link is shown speaking. His story starts off with him lounging around in his castle, bored and eager to go on an adventure, when a wizard named Gwonam flies by and informs him that Ganon and his minions have taken over the island of Koridai, and that a written prophecy confirms Link is the only one capable of stopping him.
Durability:Wall level+ (His bombs generate this much energy, and he can tank them at point-blank range, even without using his shield), Higher with his shield (Can block attacks that would normally harm him)
Sword: The standard weapon given to Link at the beginning of the game. It is described as a smart sword that is capable of discerning from friend or foe, as it is directly stated that it won't hurt anyone friendly, and will instead encourage them to talk.
Power Sword: An upgraded sword that can shoot powerful magic blasts when Link is at full health.
Fire Sword: A fully upgraded sword that can now fire powerful bursts of fire, even when Link isn't at full health.
Shields
Shield: An item Link uses to protect himself from enemy attacks.
Reflecting Shield: An upgraded shield that reflects projectiles.
*Winged Helmet: Allows Link to jump higher and longer distances, at the cost of 5 rubies per use.
Bell: An item that freezes airborne enemies in place for 8 seconds.
Lanterns: Allows Link to see in the dark for a brief period of time, but requires lantern oil in order to be used. Its first upgrade, the Magic Lantern, extends the duration of the light. Its final upgrade, the Lantern of Vision, extends it even further without the need of lantern oil and can also reveal invisible opponents.
Bombs: Explosives that Link can use to attack enemies and clear out obstacles.
Ropes: Link can use these ropes to climb ledges. They're typically purchased in packs of 3 for 10 rubies.
Book of Koridai: A book that was stated to be the only thing capable of defeating Ganon. The exact purpose of the book is unknown, but it is stated to yield secrets and sacred power able to defeat and imprison enemies within its pages.
*Life Hearts: Restores your health
Rubies: Currency that's been shown to be able to take ones soul and mind control them, along with transmutating them into your servant.
Notable Techniques
Duck-Walk: A technique where Link crouches down and walks forward at the same time to avoid projectiles.
Energy Beams: Link can fire magic blasts of fire or energy, given that he has the Fire Sword or the Power Sword respectively.
Other
Standard Tactics: As shown with each boss fight, Link will use the item that's necessary for the situation, if there's none directly necessary he will normally default to his strongest weapons.
Weaknesses: Somewhat naive.

↑"A third upgrade of the Lantern also appears in both games, which does not use any Lantern Oil and makes invisible enemies visible in the games' final stages. In The Faces of Evil, the third Lantern is the Lantern of Vision, and is received from Gwonam after finding his house in the Hermit Flat. In The Wand of Gamelon, it is the Fairy Lantern, and is received from Myra in Nokani Forest. The Fairy Lantern also has the ability to "penetrate the dark around Ganon," which allows Zelda to get close to him with its light."
