The Legend of Zelda is getting a live-action movie, and the author is speculating about which Link from the games would be the best fit. They argue that Wind Waker Link is the most iconic and would be a great choice. However, the author also presents a theory that Wind Waker Link is not actually a "Link" at all, but rather a random kid who defeats Ganon and breaks the curse that had been cast by Demise.
The author bases their theory on the fact that Wind Waker Link does not meet the requirements to be a "hero" as defined by the Zelda franchise, which includes being a member of the Knights of Hyrule and carrying the bloodline of the royal family. They also point out that the king of Hyrule, who is a character in Wind Waker, says that Link has no connection to the legendary hero.
The author suggests that Wind Waker Link's defeat of Ganon broke the curse that had been cast by Demise, which is why Ganon does not return in the subsequent games in the adult timeline. However, when the timelines remerge, Ganon is able to return, leading to the events of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
The author concludes by suggesting that the people of Hyrule need to stop relying on the spirit of the hero to defeat Ganon and instead train someone else to defeat him permanently. They propose that Zelda could be the one to finally put Ganon to rest, which would be a poetic ending to the series.
