==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''===
At the start of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', Link's uncle receives a distress signal from [[Princess Zelda]], so he equips a [[sword]] and [[shield]] and leaves his house to try and rescue her. Just before leaving, Link's uncle instructs Link to stay at home and that he will return in the morning. Link also hears Zelda's call for help, so he also leaves to rescue her.

Later, when Link goes down a secret entrance of [[Hyrule Castle]] to the first basement floor, he finds his uncle, who is mortally wounded from battle. Just before dying, Link's uncle gives his sword and shield to Link and teaches him the [[Spin Attack]].

In the ending, Link touches the [[Triforce]] and wishes for everything to return to normal. The end sequence shows that Link's uncle was revived, as he and Link both outside the house, practicing with their swords.

===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' (comic)===
In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (comic)|comic adaptation]] of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' by [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], Link's uncle is shown to specifically be mortally wounded from a battle against [[Agahnim]] himself. Later, while Link is hiking across the [[Desert of Mystery|Desert]] back from the [[Desert Ruins]], Link finds a warp where he can see that his uncle's spirit, along with those of his parents, are trapped in the [[Dark World]]. All three spirits appear to Link in the end after he has recovered the [[Triforce]] from [[Ganon]].

===''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' (manga)===
In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (manga)|manga adaptation]] of ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' by [[Akira Himekawa]], Link's uncle harvests from an [[apple]] orchard with his nephew in the beginning. Like the comic adaptation, he is killed by Agahnim. In his dying breaths, he tells Link his parents are still alive somewhere.

==Trivia==
[[File:Link's uncle dying ALttP GBA.png|thumb|Link's uncle has a different speech before dying in the Game Boy Advance version]]
*In the original [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] version and the [[Virtual Console]] re-releases, when Link finds his uncle mortally wounded from battle, Link's uncle talks to him but cuts off mid-sentence and dies as he says ''"Zelda is your..."''. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Game Boy Advance)|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', Link's uncle has a different speech before dying. Instead of cutting off mid-sentence, Link's uncle briefly pauses a few times between his last two sentences where he instructs Link to carry on and that he will always have fond memories of their time together.
*In the german Player's Guide of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', it is mentioned how Link's Uncle gave him the green tunic on his birthday. <ref> ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' Spieleberater, page 9. </ref>
