I'm gonna go with the Hero of Time
What a -blam!-ing badass. At 9 years old he obtains the 3 sacred gems to open the Door of Time, which not even Ganon could do. Then he pulls the Master Sword but he's too young to wield it so he sleeps in the Temple of Time for 7 years and wakes up to find the world has gone to shit and he has to pick up the pieces.
After saving the Princess and stabbing Ganon in the face Zelda sends him back in time to go live his childhood that he skipped over for being a badass.
Then the timeline splits.
In one reality Link goes to another land where he turns back time to save the world from the moon falling and destroying everything
And in the other he just grows up and -blam!-s a cute farm girl. And then he feels regret for not kicking even more ass so after he died he takes on the form of a phantom wolf and teaches his reincarnation how to do sick ass sword moves

Like this thread.... Anyways if have to go with the WindWaker/Phantom Hourglass Link version. Liked the games. Was saddened that Spirit Tracks mentioned the last game but reminded me that the WW Link was dead....also old ass Niko hehe what a guy. And Linebeck's grandson...not as cool as the first...but the first wasn't that cool hehe. 2nd would be Twilight Princess. Liked the darkness of it. Although protecting the wagon with the zora prince made me stop playing it for a year since I I didn't know I had to open that gate.... 3rd would be Ocarina of Time one. Also believe its theorized that Link turned into a Stalfo after Majora's Mask rather than -blam!-ing the farm girl...but we all know he would....
