Williams' Multiple Links Theory

The Multiple Links Theory formulates that there is more than one hero Link in the Legend of Zelda series videogames.

The Links and their corresponding games (in the chronological order of the series) are as follows:

Link "A": The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Link "B": The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

Link “C”: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Link “D”: The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure

Link “E”: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Link “F”: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of the Ages, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of the Seasons

Link “G”: The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventures of Link

Each is a "link" in a chain of heroes, each named "Link." While every Link is almost identical, the worlds they inhabit have proven to be different, and incongruous with one another, hence the Multiple Links Theory.

The theory is now identified as "Williams' Multiple Links Theory," as T. Williams was the first to record the theory in its entirety.
