Month of Video Games Day 5: Character you are most like (or wish you were)

Day 5 - Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were)

I'm kind of at a loss on this one. I mean, I could write about how I'm a bit of a loner and kind of emotionally detached and so I'm a lot like Squall from FF8 with his many "..."s, but honestly, nobody wants to read that. So let's stick with the "what character you wish you were more like" option.

Link

Let's say hypothetically that you were to break into someone's house, smash all of their pots, steal all of their precious, precious rupees contained within them, took the bundle of arrows they had in a chest in the back, and then up and left without saying a word. You would likely not be welcome round those parts again. For Link, the pointy eared mute boy that everyone loves, this is completely kosher. At the same time, everywhere you go, you have farm girls, princesses, and odd, naked, fish type creatures, if you're into that, throwing themselves at you, without you saying a word to them. Do a small favor for someone as Link, and they'll suddenly decide to up and give you whatever family heirloom they'd been keeping for their entire lives, which will conveniently also get you into the next dungeon. Start wandering around digging up graves in real life and you probably have an awful stench on your hands as well as a lawsuit from the bereaved. Do this as Link and you end up racing a crazy old dead guy who will then decide to give you his hookshot.

Sure occasionally, you have to go into a temple or inside a giant fish or a big-ass talking tree and bust some heads of the occupying forces within, but it's not like you don't have a veritable army of bows, hammers, explosives, and various magic musical instruments to take along with. You also get a bitchin'-ass horse to ride across Hyrule on that you're perfectly justified in liberating from his farm because his owner is a dick. There are a lot of video games where the protagonist goes awesome places and gets awesome stuff. In the world of Zelda though, Link seems to have a particular ability for said awesome stuff to just kind of fall into his lap with minimal effort on his part.
