Link's Class?

Hey everyone. I just wanted to get some ideas as to what Link's class would be in Dungeons and Dragons. I love role-playing fantasy, and I love the Zelda games, so I was curious how to combine the two.

Anyway, I was thinking Fighter at first, but he is also very ranger like with the bow. I was thinking a fighter with a multiclass into ranger...

And as for magic, he mostly uses items, so that would be based on his wallet size, rather than his inteligence. In fact, I was thinking of making him mute .

Any Ideas?

He would be in the class of Link.

Link is a class, dammit.

Well, that was quick.

Yes, that is true, but I'm trying to define Link under the parameters of another game. Do you play DnD?

I've tried. My friend tried to show me... didn't do too good of a job.

But from what little I've been taught, I guess I'd say Knight. I'm not 100% sure on that, though.

Screw Dungeons and Dragons. Munchkin is where it's at!

(Note I have never played D&D, but my friend has Munchkin, it's awesome)

Knight.

Maybe a paladin.

We made him in a game once.

I dunno... I kind of like the idea of him not having to wear armor...

That's why I'm not 100% sure.

Link would be a ranger i would assume. If i remember correctly, Rangers can use some spells as well. Plus two handed fighting and use of inventory. Probably a prestige class involving a ranger and a druid. :/

An elf.

Naw, lol, if speaking on Final Fantasy terms he's probably a Freelancer.

I do, and funny enough my group has discussed what he would be. Essentially, a Fighter, and then you'd have to make some feats that would pertain to him. Things like ability to throw bombs, and etc. Although, he IS essentially a fighter, just with a bunch of magical equipment.

Or as Glutexo said, he'd have to be his own class...

Wait, is this for 4th Edition, or V.3.5?

Well, seeing as I don't play 4e, I guess we'll go with 3.5 for discussion purposes. But feel free to apply both versions, I would enjoy the enlightenment.

4e is actually better in my opinion, but 3.5 is much more fun for discussion like this.

That actually sounds perfect now that I think about it.

Yeah, I really like 4e, but unfortunately I have no one to play it with. My neighbor wants to stick to v3.5, so that's what I have to play.

Overall, I think if you want to make custom classes, and have a lot of flexibility, its best to play v3.5

He would be a healer.

Link would would be a Ranger with a multiclass as a Paladin and another multiclass as a Rogue... he's too much of a goody-two-shoes to NOT be a Paladin, he's constantly sneaking past guards (almost every Zelda game since OoT has had stealth segments) and deactivating traps, he always uses a bow and is an excellent rider.

And don't forget the time that he stole from Koholint's general store.

How exactly you can reconcile being a Rogue and a Paladin is beyond me, but he does it.

"Hello class, today we will be learning of the effects and consequences of torturing a cucco..."
Oh, wait, not that kind of class? Damn.

Link would be some sorta Fire Emblem Lord.

He could also be an archer, or a mage.

Yeah, let's go with Freelancer.
