History

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Link's Uncle ALttP sprite.png

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.
