Link...born in Kakariko Village?

Okay, i know this is pretty far fetched so bear with me here.

I was just reading the OoT mangas on ZeldaInfinite.com and when i came to this page: http://www.zelda-infinite.com/files/...chap=6&page=19 and read it, i saw some words: "You were born in the Guaridan House that served the King of Hyrule." that Raru told Link.

Now, i began to think of the game and i realize that we only know what happened to his mother and we don't know what happened to his father in the game because they don't say. However, i thought: "Now, according to the big gravestone that you see when you enter the graveyard, it says: 'Here lies those who swore feality to the Royal Family." and i remember hearing from either Impa or the old man or the man in Impa's house that the people that are born in Kakariko Village serve the Royal Family.

Now, Link's dad was a soldier, right? He was according to the manga and he is considered, at least to me, a soldier in the game. (That writing on the gravestone that i mentioned earlier seems to suggest to me that Link's dad must be buried with the rest of the army in Kakariko Graveyard.)

Okay, so this is how i veiw it, Link's dad came from Kakariko Village, he meets Link's mom and they have Link. Remember, Link's mom is a Hylian, so she most ceritanly was not born and raised in Death Mountain, Zora's Domain, Kokiri Forest, Gerudo Valley, and there is no residental house in Lake Hylia, so i assumed that she was born and raised in Kakariko Village and she met the man who would become her future husband. They get married and have Link.

The point is, i think Kakariko Village was Link's birthplace because that's where the Hylians who serve the Royal Family live in, right? Link's dad is a soldier, so he served the King...

Well, like i said, this is far-fetched, i mean, for all we know, Link was born in Lon-Lon ranch or Hyrule Market. I just thought that if Link was born anywhere in Hyrule, it was in Kakariko Village.

Now, you may say: "Well, Link might have been born in another country!", true, but consider this, Wasn't Link born while a war was occuring? That meant that his father had to fight in the war and his mom probably had to stay home because, i believe, it would have been to dangerous to flee with all the people of Hyrule fighting each other.

Anyway, what are you all's opnions?

inoot hes hylian though, so i dont see why, but maybe he was born in kakarikom and ten lived in hyrule... good thread/theroy

Kakariko is a village in Hyrule...

I thought about this some more and i know Link was born in Hyrule without a doubt, and i do suspect he was born in Kakariko Village.

Then again, according to the OoT Manga, it states that he was born in a mansion of sorts, so that leads me to believe he could have been born closer to the castle, like Hyrule Market, because i know there are some residental homes in there. This is how i see this:

1. LINK'S DAD
a. He is born and raised in Kakariko Village
b. He goes and becomes a soldier.
c. He must have lived close to the castle in case the King calls him to his presence at once, so he lives in Hyrule Market
d. He meets LINK'S MOTHER.

2. LINK'S MOTHER
a. She is born and raised either in Kakariko Village or Hyrule Market.
b. She meets LINK'S FATHER and marries him.

Again, he's still a soldier, so i assume that he must still have to live in Hyrule Market, but he probably would live in Kakariko Village if Link's mom told him to.

So this is what happens next:

3. WAR BREAKS OUT IN HYRULE
a. Link is concieved and is born. (Assuming he was born once the war began, they might have moved to Kakariko Village to avoid any probobility of Link and his mother getting killed.)
b. Link's dad dies.
c. Link's village (Presumly Kakariko Village and presumly by the Gerudos) is attacked and his mother is forced to flee, but is she is wounded in the process.
d. She takes him deep into the Kokiri Forest and begs the Deku Tree to care for her child.
e. Link's mom passes away and Link lives in the forest and his epic quest to stop Ganondorf doesn't begin until he is 10.

The reason i place Link's birthplace at Hyrule Market now is because i had assumed that if Link's dad was a soldier, then he would have to be closer to the castle.

But i have a question. Remember the house the Cucco lady lives in? As a child, go up to the entrance of that house and you'll see a guard standing there. Now, i know, this doesn't suggest that Link was born in that house, but i always wondered why there was a guard right there beside a house that was perfectly safe. Unless that guard is just there for absolutly no reason at all, there should be a reason why there's a guard there at a house where the other guards are actually doing something (Ex: Guard guarding the entrance/exit of the village and a guard guarding the gateway to Death Mountain.) Then there is this guard standing by a house? I know, that was Impa's old house that the Cucco...oh....Never mind. :embrsd: I forgot that Impa had origonally lived in that house.

through all these posts im pretty convinced that lin kwas born in kakoriko village (or however you spell it :embrsd: ) Maybe links parents lived in the back alley too...

I tried to search for a door that could open in the Back Alley in OoT, and i found one, but it was the home of the Dog Lady. But hey, 10 years is a long time. Link's parents could have lived in there or Kakariko Village. I guess i was looking for obvious clues (Ex: A crib) that suggested that Link once lived there.

I think it may have been the Dog Lady's house because it was closer to the castle because Link's dad was a soldier.

ok- here's the thing- in OoT- his mom is very ill and dies- leaving link to the deku tree- he grows up until he is old enough to leave the forest! but- however- the deku tree does say that he was GIVEN to the tree to be watched over- the mother already died.

To me, it seems more logical for him to have been born in the Hyrule Market Town because of his dad's duties. And this is even more reason why I believe the Link between LoZ and MM is the same. In ALttP, one of the maidens makes mention that Link is of the soldier's bloodline. The last if I remember right, so his dad would have had to have been a Hylian soldier himself. But moving on. Kakariko village would have been a pretty safe place to raise a kid, though not very accessable to the castle if one had duties to attend to there. But we all tend to think that the only places in a "Market Town" are what's pictured in the game, and there's way more to it than that. Castles in the midieval era had enormous cities surrounding them, and Hyrule would have been no different. All they show us is the shop area, but there would have been a residential area full of massive houses too. Houses that would have been used for the soldiers and their families and such on like that. So it actually makes more sense to me that Link would have been born closer to the castle unless his mom was sent to Kakariko Village a few weeks or so before the iminant war broke out.

How do you know that his MOM didn't give him to the tree?

Well anyway, I think that's a cool theory. too bad we'll never know for sure, but you know, whatever. I'd like to belive that's true. ^_^

I have a question...could I use this in my fanfic?

**MAJOR SPOILERS IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE READING MY STORY WHICH I'M SURE YOU'RE NOT!!!!**

Because there's this part coming up that requires Link to go somewhere and learn about his mom and his cousin whom I made up tells him stuff but I'm not sure what yet. Do you mind? I won't if you don't want me to, but it would mean a lot. (It would mean I wouldn't have to use my brain to do it...)

Thanks either way! ^_^ Oh and you get credit! ^^

Sure! You can use it. ^_^

Oh, and what's the story called? I wanna read it!

Ciara, i agree with your post. It seems logical for Link to be born in Hyrule Market unless his mom went to Kakariko Village before the war broke out.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! ^^

My story is on a different site. If you read please leave reviews, (via the review button near the bottom of the page. Please be sure I know who you are! ^_^)

Well anyway, the link is in my sig...like...I'm engaged to Link or something. Just click on that. ^_^ (Actually that part doesn't happen until-- Wait, how do you know it ever happens? ^_^) :p

I would definitely say he could have been born in Kakariko, but Hyrule town market is quite the possibilty too. I have one question: Is the Zelda Manga official? Where can I read it? Tell me please.

Anyway, Ljink I reported that post because that was basically the spammiest thing ever (I mean the spelling is so bad it looks like it was on purpose! Seriously! Fix that!). Stop doing that.

It would make perfect sense, because she didn't have far to flee in Kakariko, there are plenty of domestic houses, and it's an ideal place to raise a child. Throughout the entire franchise, we're given very little on Link's parents (hell, we're barely given any info on Link. Period.), so you never know. I doubt the Manga is official, I bet it was merely a fanfic gone further than a fanfic. Ya know? The kind where the author is so ambitions he (she?) actually published it. Anyway, Hyrule town Market would've made sense too. I hope Twilight Princess gives us some parentage, or atleast some ancestry of Link.

well actually the deku tree sprout sais that link is a hylian.
and if he was born in kakariko village he would probably be sheikah

Link was born a Hylian so he couldn't have been born within Kokiri boundaries otherwise he would have had a guardian fairy to begin with. Not only that but Kokiri's aren't permitted to leave the forest but Link does cause he is Hylian. Its mere speculation where he was actually born, all we know is that his mother brought her son to the Deku Tree and he watched over him until the time would come when he would venture forth and seek his destiny.

From your research I'd probably say that he was from Kakariko in OOT. Reasons for him not being from Kakariko maybe that he served the king but didnt live in Kakariko.. or he just lived in Hyrule Castle where Zelda is.. He could have lived there as a servant or soldier of the family...

But we can never know. We need more official information. I'm not sure this Zelda Manga is so official. But both Kakariko and Hyrule town seem likely places to raise a child. A wounded mother has a long way to flee from Hyrule town, and if this great war was going on I'd guess that place might be under siege. Maybe she snuck out via the sewage system. If I remember correctly. There is a small sewage pipe leading out of Hyrule town, somewhere west of it. But still, that's a long trek, and I think he must have been born in Kakariko.

well im pretty sure neither parent came Kakariko villiage, and i don't think Link's mom was their during the war after all the Sheiks would have kept her safe after all their like ninja very hard to find and would have stunned most of the enemies with deku nuts plus their was no safer place unless the entire army was attacting the village which might explain what happened to the house were the well now stands wrote at 4:13 am so after being up so late my logic may be impaired
