Who is Link?

Mysterious Swordsman from Suthorn Village

Link is a swordsman who lives in Suthorn Village, a settlement Zelda and Tri will visit in the first parts of the game. He's a reliable neighbor who helps deal with various problems in the village, which is now in distress after the appearance of the rifts.

Zelda Doesn't Know Who Link Is

Based on a dialogue option with one of the NPCs in Suthorn Village, Zelda seems to have no idea who the swordsman that came to rescue her was. This implies that the story of Echoes of Wisdom takes place in a different timeline.
