The title sounds somewhat of a fairy tale story don't you think? Well good, because IGN take a look back at games that most young Fantasy RPG veterans have grown to love. A name that have become beholden to Nintendo ever since it's inception in 1983 on the Famicom Disk System. So sit back, relax and read on for a little history lesson on one of our favorite RPG Fantasy heroes - Link.

The times may change, but the legend remains: A dark wizard, a princess in peril, and an emerald-clad boy as the kingdom's only hope. Like all great fables of times long past, the story of Link has changed much over the years, retold in a new way for each coming generation, but timeless nonetheless. It's a legacy few other franchises can equal, and as we scream toward the latest adventure – The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword – it's important to know and celebrate why Link was elevated to the upper echelon of video game royalty.
