The Legend Of Zelda

For this paper I chose the character Link from The Legend of Zelda series. I am going to be mostly be going off the title The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, therefore my examples and explanations will also be from that title. Link is the main protagonist in all The Legend of Zelda games. At the beginning of Links life he was left with the Deku Tree, at the Kokiri Forest by his mother because of the war that had been going on at that time. Link was raised with the Kokiri. The Kokiri forest was home to the “forest children”, which are essentially little elf people that never grow up. All of the Kokiri had their own fairy.

Situations that Link might have an internal locus of control would be when he training. Link is always training and learning new techniques with his sword and other weapons he carries with him. I believe that Link is always training because he knows that if he doesn’t train hard enough that he won’t know what strategies to use when facing enemies much bigger than
