Background

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.

Standard Equipment

Swords

  • 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.

    Discussion threads involving Link (CD-i)
    1. "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."
