*** It's worth pointing out that many (but not all) of the Links are related, and that the Triforce is passed down from parent to child. So, Link's absent father may very well be another Link. Nintendo has confirmed that the Hero's Shade in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' is the Link from ''Ocarina of Time'' (from whom the Link in ''Twilight Princess'' inherited the Triforce of Courage). The Shade even calls Link "my child". (However, the creators have stated that the ''Twilight Princess'' Link isn't the ''Ocarina of Time'' Link's descendant; he's a ''reincarnation''.)

** Pavia's father was absent from his life from a young age, his mother dying or being permanently committed to a mental health instution meant he was shunted to his EvilAunt's care.
