Link, The Hero

Link, of The Legend of Zelda fame.

Link is a seasoned adventurer, and well equipped for whatever may come his way in the wilderness. His experience has jaded him to the point of sanity being a non-issue. He'll fight a king of nightmare-beasts before breakfast, and not even blink at it.

He is used to living off what's available, and has developed a strong stomach.

Compared to the average character, Link is faster, stronger, and tougher. However, he has a smaller stomach, and faster hunger rate - running around, and fighting like that burns off the calories much faster! Link is perhaps best played as a hunter - hunt, kill, and eat monsters to stay alive. Or, failing monsters… adorable, harmless little bunnies. You monster.

Link brings a number of Hero's Items with him on his adventure.

All Hero's Items are unbreakable, and uncraftable. So don't lose them!

WOULD YOU PREFER THE 'HERO' ITEMS TO HAVE THE NAMES USED IN OCARINA OF TIME?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

*Can you port this to Don't Starve Together?

Unfortunately, no. I just don't have time to work on this.
You're welcome to attempt it yourself.


*Is it DLC compatible?

RoG, yes. And it does have upgrades for DLC mechanics - the Red Tunic will save you from summer heat, while the Blue will function as a raincoat.
Shipwrecked will crash on World Generation sometimes, and always causes issues with the Coconade. It could probably be fixed with a rewrite of the Bomb code, but I think I just have to call it incompatible with Shipwrecked.


*Where did my fairy go?

The fairy is buggy. Regrettably so. She is at present unable to enter Wormholes, and has a nast habit of getting stuck on the environment. You can get her back if you retrace your steps.


*This doesn't work with RPG HUD!

Actually, it does. I even recommend it for best experience.
It does not, however, work with RPG HUD Neat - you must use the RPG HUD Default version.
I believe this is because of Link's added Magic Meter, and removed Sanity.
Alas, I cannot do anything to fix this, so all I can tell you is to use the Default version instead. Pair it with Always-On Status, for best results.


*Are you still working on this?

This is a project I love and am proud of, but I don't have time to dedicate to this.
