Is Link Divine?

Is Link perfect and incapable of doing evil? Is he always able to make the most noble and courageous decisions no matter what?
It seems that because he bears the Triforce of Courage, he has a purely righteous mind and soul...
Are there any pieces of evidence showing Link making an immoral decision?

What are your thoughts?

He isn't incapable of doing evil. Link can get pretty pissed, as seen when he turns into a wolf. Also, seen my Fierce Diety.

If a mortal cannot or will not do evil, they are still mortal (not divine).

I think when Link terrorizes Cuccos by slashing them with his sword he is doing
something pretty messed up

Just because someone gets angry, doesn't mean they aren't incapable of doing evil.
It's not wrong to get angry at someone because they are mocking you and pulling your ear.

Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is the creepy cutscene in TP were he is shown with the multiple dark Links and is chasing after the Triforce, but that was never reality. In my case my Link liked to steal from the shop in Faron Woods. Link, thought of stealing the Hero's Sheild from his grandmother, but only so he could save his sister.

Which game is that?

Link's Awakening DX

I then propose a new theory ...

Those who bear the Triforce of courage, those "chosen by the goddesses", are pure in mind and soul.

TP Link was chosen by the godesses. Read my earlier post.

Link stealing from the Faron woods shop is more reflective of what you as the player are deciding to do, not the character himself.
Although, you could argue that the developers meant for it to be intentional by including the feature in the first place.

But perhaps he is well excused for taking from the shop.
Because he is taking for the noble cause of saving the world, his actions are excused. Kinda like how FBI agents are allowed to take civilians' vehicles under certain circumstances.

He's not really divine so to speak guys, in wind waker, he was a normal boy in abnormal circumstances, until the end when the gods approve.

Obviously not, since I steal from shops, break pots and take the money whenever possible.

But then that's all there is. Link on his own has absolutely no personality.

I think all the 3D Links are pure of heart and mind to varying degrees. But I think OOT/MM Link is probably the holiest and the most pure of heart and mind of all the 3D Links.

Link isn't divine he is capable of doing evil just like everyone else is. His pure and curageous soul can still be corupted by evil, he isn't perfect afterall.

He's just a chosen hero. He is the one fighting evil so he is viewed as good.

Ahh there was a quote from zeldawiki.org, saying that since link is the hero off the zelda series, and is all good the evil that should of been withing him was transferred into an entity of all evil which became dark link

Link is capable of doing evil.
All mortals are. What separates him is that he chooses not to do evil, which is much more impressive IMO, because the temptation is there, and he doesn't do it, versus the temptation not existing. If he was incapable of doing evil, I would find him less interesting, because he wouldn't really have a personality aside from perfection.
Things like stealing from shops are more like Easter Eggs. It's not really canonical. It's more the player's style, like you can break pots in people's houses, or cut grass.
Canonically though, Link is given two choices, or two possible motivations, and always picks the high road.

Since Dark Link's true nature is unknown and unconfirmed, that is a theory. It even says so on the wiki page.

Nah, that was a very nice fan-fic.
