Linkle

Linkle (リンクル, Rinkuru) is an original character who appears in Hyrule Warriors Legends.

Role in Game
Linkle has lived a normal life in a small Cucco raising village, cherishing her family's treasure: a compass given to her by her grandmother. When she heard that Hyrule Castle is in danger, she begins her journey to save it.

Development
Her concept was made during the development of Hyrule Warriors. She was originally conceived to be Link's younger sister, but the idea was scrapped due to Eiji Aonuma not wanting her inclusion in the Zelda series to conflict with Link's sister Aryll from The Wind Waker. After the game's release, sketches of her concept were included in the boxed editions' visual databook and she escalated into popularity within a portion of the Zelda fandom. Despite being incomplete at the time, she was one of the popularly requested characters in the open call for playable candidates posted onto the game's Twitter. When re-pitched to Aonuma with a revised backstory, he approved her. Linkle's finished development aims to please her fans.

Former Nintendo localizer Chris Pranger stated on his Twitter that Linkle was the last character he wrote for before leaving Nintendo. He expressed excitement for her debut, adding that he liked writing for her more than he did Lana.

Personality
Linkle has never-ending optimism and is altruistic. She would never turn a blind eye to someone in trouble.
