Across 19 mainline games and a handful of spinoffs, the Hero of Time has taken on a variety of forms. The changes between each have ranged from the subtle (Skyward Sword's eyeliner or A Link to the Past's pink hair) to the pretty "wait... what?" drastic (come on guys, he's literally turned into a wolf), but he's still the same old Link at heart, right?

Wrong! No matter which way you spin it, some Links are just cooler than others. Be it their unique swanky outfits, luscious golden locks, or freaky abilities, most games in the mainline Zelda series force us to think, "yeah, this hero's cool, but he's not as cool as..."

That's where we come in. We've ranked several elements of the Zelda series — instruments, bosses, companions, dungeons, er... fields? — and now it's time to take on the big one. It's all well and good discussing which is the best Zelda game, but which one has the best star player? It's time to rank the Links, once and for all.
