Adult Link in the OOT Remake
Home / Characters / Adult Link
Adult Link is the seven-year jump, not a separate character sheet. You become him by drawing the Master Sword in the Temple of Time while you are still a child, and the public record still treats that doorway as the age change. I keep the reward line short: Master Sword, Light Arrows, Mirror Shield. Those three are the adult kit people mean when they search the model. The Hookshot is the tool that shows up with him, and the quest line is the six Sages plus Ganondorf.
The 2026 argument is about the face and the clothes, not about a new move list. GameSpot called this the weakest-looking redesign, and CBR logged the new puppet-influenced model beside the older ones. I leave that as a design argument. Zelda Wiki still describes the same Hero of Time route. I found no second source for a damage number, a new item, or a cut scene that changes who he is, so those cells stay empty.
English performance is silence. The Japanese cast credit I can point to is Shou Komura. I do not promote that credit into an English voice. He is not a Sage and he does not carry a medallion. Related pages worth opening next are Zelda, Navi, and Ganondorf.
