Green Dragons are also sometimes called “earth” dragons. They usually live deep within caves, and have power over the earth. They are capable of launching boulders at high speeds, and can cause earthquakes by slamming down onto the ground.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Link is a courageous hatchling or young dragon it is unlikely that his age ever exceeds eighteen years at any point. He leaves his home and relatives at an early age to pursue his destiny and fight Ganon, his archenemy, and other servants of evil.

Link's adventures mostly take place in his native kingdom of Hyrule. He is closely associated with the Triforce of Courage and thus with the goddess Farore and her color, green. He is described as humble and a defining trait of his character seems to be his bravery, an attribute consistent with his role as the rightful bearer of the Triforce of Courage.
