Link's Partners
From Zelda Wiki.org
The various Links have had many allied companions in the series:
Navi is Link's fairy partner in Ocarina of Time. She joins Link at the start of the game at the request of the Great Deku Tree, and helps Link on his quest to defeat Ganon. She leaves for unknown reasons at the end of the game.
Tatl is Link's fairy partner in Majora's Mask. She was a companion of the Skull Kid, but he left her behind with Link after stealing Link's Ocarina. She then helps Link to defeat the cursed Majora's Mask and free Skull Kid of its influence. She stays with the Skull Kid at the end of the game.
King of Red Lions, or King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, is one of the Kings of Hyrule, and appears to be ghost that operates the boat remotely. He helps Link travel through the Great Sea in The Wind Waker and is essential in stopping Ganondorf from making his wish upon the complete Triforce to rule Hyrule. At the end of the game, The King of the Red Lions remains in Hyrule as it floods, dying with his kingdom.
Ezlo is a Minish wizard who was cursed by Vaati into the form of a hat with a bird's head. Ezlo helps Link travel through Hyrule and has the ability to shrink Link to Minish size. After Vaati's defeat, the curse is broken and Ezlo returns to the Minish homeland.
Midna, the Twilight Princess, is Link's partner in Twilight Princess. It is through her that Link can change into a wolf and back on will. She was cursed by Zant into an imp form, and she is restored to her original form when Ganondorf is defeated. In the end of the game she goes back to the Twilight Realm, and destroys the Mirror of Twilight. It is unknown if Link ever sees her again. Some fans theorized that there is a possible romance between Link and Midna.
Ciela is Link's Fairy in Phantom Hourglass. She does not remember who she is, or where she came from. Regardless, she is more than happy to help Link in his quest to rescue Tetra from the Ghost Ship. She's good friends with Oshus, whom she affectionately calls "Grandpa". Throughout their adventure, she aids Link by providing helpful hints and information (not to mention keeping Linebeck's ego in check). Eventually, she learns that she is a one of the Ocean King's guardian spirits, the Spirit of Time and Courage, and in the climactic battle with Bellum, uses her newly-remembered powers to help Link stop time and win the day once again. At the very end, she stays behind with Oshus and the other spirits as Link returns to his own world. The other spirits can also serve as Link's companions.
Epona is a horse sometimes owned by Link and sometimes by Lon Lon Ranch. She has had a number of appearances, but can only be ridden in-game in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess. She appears in the Oracle games, Four Swords Adventures, and The Minish Cap but is not a playable part of these games. She is Link's most faithful friend, and normally gets Link to other places at a faster pace than walking.
