In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the dying Demon King Demise cursed the first Link that appeared in the very convoluted Zelda timeline. Demise’s distaste for the hero was so powerful that he swore their battle would never end; every reincarnation was destined to fight in every lifetime. He cursed not only Link, but also anyone who carried the blood of the Goddess Hylia. Because of this, Link, Zelda, and Ganon are seen in nearly all the main title games, with the hero and the princess always opposing the antagonist Ganon. While Link, Zelda, and Ganon are the most popular repeated characters in the franchise by far, there is another recurring character that is just as integral to The Legend of Zelda as the trio.
