Illustrator Gonzalo ‘GENZOMAN‘ Ordóñez Arias (who’s also behind these official World of Warcraft card game illos) probably answers some un-asked hypothetical about how The West might handle the Zelda franchise, etc. etc. but more appropriately simply shows us the most invulnerable Link of all time.
