Linken was a level 40 quest giver located at Marshal's Refuge in the contested territory of Un'Goro Crater. He is small and wears a green tunic, wielding a sword, shield and boomerang, all very reminiscent of Link from the Legend of Zelda series. The quest sequence that Linken gave was a reference to The Legend of Zelda.
