Link (Main Personality) MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Link (Main Personality)? Link (Main Personality) is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - sx/so - 962 in Enneagram, RCUAN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
I like that him solving puzzles = Ti, as if that's a) all Ti is and b) something only Ti does. Link never displays a sustained interest in the puzzles he solves (or any kind of subjective logical framework), they're just stepping stones to his goals (Te). Most of his tools he acquires from others, his excellent usage of them is just Se-Ni. Implicitly there's an ethical drive to his actions, his quests are always against evil and he revels in the heroic reputation he gains (a 2 fix, not a 4 fix). Not that ISTPs can't fight against evil forces but Link's motivations against them seem moral, and the slim reactions he does display (facially, bodily, in cutscenes) indicate the same.

Biography
The main playable character(s) and hero(es) of the series. The various incarnations of Link across the series vary in backstory, age, and personality, but there are a few constants. The simplest way to describe Link is that he's an everyman peasant boy who discovers he is The Chosen One, a hero preordained by the gods to save the kingdom of Hyrule (and frequently, its Princess) from the forces of evil. This quest usually involves him proving himself worthy of a Sword and using it to save a group of Barrier Maidens and/or securing a few MacGuffins. Though Link is mostly mute, he does have a personality, shown through facial expressions and physicality, as well as just the framing of the narrative and the choices he makes. As one would expect of the Hero of Hyrule he tends to be virtuous, selfless, and determined. Along with Zelda and Ganondorf, Link is one of the predesignated three wielders of the pieces of the Triforce, the Triforce of Courage, and he is often associated with Farore, who among other domains created the forest and the wind.
