[All] Hylia’s Chosen Hero and the Hero of Time. What do you think the connection between the two are or if they are intertwined in anyway specifically?

This is something I have always been wondering about.

Most, if not all Links, carry the spirit of Hylia’s Chosen Hero and throughout the era, step up to face Demise‘s curse, which is usually the form of ganondorf but also likely other threats as well.

and other Links in and out of universe do have their own titles thrust upon them, but usually they are named after doing their own deeds and earning the title, such as the Hero of Winds from the Wind Waker.

what makes the Hero of Time rather unique is that it is a pre existing legend that OOT Link seemed destined for. thats not to say he didn’t put in the work to prove he was worthy of the title and the master sword. he did, but it is clearly a case of a pre existing legend that Link was destined for in that case.

but it makes me wonder what the purpose of legend of the hero of time is and its relation to the master sword and the spirit of hylia‘s hero, as that on its own would make OOT Link worthy of the master sword

and the Hero of Time’s blood descendent, the Hero of Twilight from Twilight Princess, has the triforce of courage from the start.

now that I will admit is still a flimsy argument as we have no real other comparisons where two link‘s are related to know if this is something that would just happen with any Link in that case or if it has to do just with OOT being some form of special chosen one that carries a special bloodline and connection to the triforce of courage that causes his descendants to inherit it, but it could still be a compelling discussion.

but what do you think?
