      Its still somewhat up in the air if Link is actually reincarnated at all. It seems somewhat the case with Zelda, Ghirahim and, Malladus and Vaati were after Zelda for a similar reasons, which apparently wasn't the Triforce at all, but a "power" only she possessed.

        I don't know, it's kinda too much of a coincidence all the Links are not only called Link but always possess both the Triforce of Courage and the same-ish bond with the other characters in the series. And while regaining full memories may or may not happen at specific points in the eternal struggle Link is the only one who never has that chance.

        Unless, Link was actually a name granted as a title for the current hero/chosen one to wield the <insert mythical sword or item> and save <insert area's name here>. In which case it would appear the Triforce of Courage not only chooses to possess disposable nameless heroes each time, but many of those times Zelda actually knows what's going on with the current "Link" and their disposable nature.

        Either way it's not something I find very pleasant. <_<;



        PS > In which case the name Link is completely literal and means exactly that, the current wielder (or destined to wield) the Triforce of Courage is a link to connect the current events to the future, or the past.

          Link doesn't always wield the Triforce of Courage, though that was the trend from OoT to TP. In Zelda 1 the only two known Triforce pieces are Power and Wisdom, and Link is actually putting together Zelda's Triforce of Wisdom. In Zelda 2 the goal is to find the Triforce of Courage not to defeat Ganon (he's already dead,) but to wake Zelda from perpetual sleep. In A Link to the Past Ganon owns the entire Triforce, you want to kill him so you can claim it as your own. The Triforce didn't play any part in Link's Awakening (which can be removed from the timeline and nothing would change.)
          Skyward Sword's Link...
          I don't think the Triforce plays any part in the Oracles or Four Sword (Minish Cap/Four Sword/Four Sword Adventures) series, but I can't say for sure because I didn't play them.

          I don't think it's the same Link reincarnating over and over again, but it doesn't really matter; they make this up as they go. Each Link has different reasons for wearing green and different origins. Skyward Sword's Link wore green because it's the Knight Academy uniform. OoT's Link wore green because he grew up with the Kokiri. WW's Link wore green because of a coming-of-age ceremony in remembrance of the Hero of Time. TP's Link is a descendant of the Hero of Time and was given the hero's clothes by the Light Spirits. There wasn't a particular reason in the older games.

            The FS subseries - at least MC and the first FS - only refer to a "golden power" and the Triforce never comes up nor is it seen.

              Then I guess the question would be if it still influences Link's reappearance or if it's something else bringing him back over and over again. Otherwise it could be that Link himself is somewhat like Ganondorf and is coming back to life for reasons yet to be discovered.

              The Link title influenced by the Triforce is my favorite theory so far though. If it really isn't the same Link in all games.

              Now, this makes me wonder about the nature of the Triforce itself.

              Dungeon-friendly fragmentation tendencies aside, from the stuff I've read about it it would appear the goddesses left it sealed away for the people with the capacity to look for it*. Well then, my question would be if it was meant to be controlled as a whole by a balanced being that embodied the power courage and wisdom to use it or not.

              If it was then it makes sense that when reached by an unbalanced or not mighty enough being it would split and look for the most suitable subjects to hold it's pieces at the time. This is independent from it's Dragon Ball function of granting a wish to whomever touched it first after reuniting all the pieces, which doesn't require any trait or merit whatsoever besides being at the right place at the right time.

              Because of this the Triforce would tend to scatter and hide again to wait after granting a wish, to see if the next person to reach it had the necessary attributes to wield it.


              Or, the power granting and champion selection is just a means to get the Dragon Ball game going, and the Triforce was never meant to be had as a whole but instead was meant to grant wishes after the current game reached it's end and the winner claimed the price. Only to have the game starting again at a later time. This also independently from the side effects the Triforce's power would have over the realms.

              Ok, now I'm dizzy. @_@



              * Said goddesses were obviously retarded.

                    EDIT:
                    Was the Link from SS the first?
                    Yes...

                      SS makes no mention of a prior incarnation of Link.

                      SS spoilers


                      That aside, did anyone else like Groose? He seems too fun of a character not to have his own game of some kind. He grew as a person, but somehow managed change his ego to good humor and become quite a handy guy to have around. I liked him a whole lot more than Tingle.

                        Damn it, I need to hurry up and finish this game so I can check all these spoilers. XD

                                I thought Groose sucked at first, but he turned out to be a pretty cool guy halfway through. Much better than Tingle for sure.
                                As to why Zelda chose Link...
