Today, the idea that there are multiple Links throughout the series is widely accepted, and most modern timeline theories contradict the Single Link Theory. Some believe that all the Links are descendants of the Hero of Time, the protagonist of Ocarina of Time. To many Zelda fans, the Single Link Theory is an impossibility, and is rarely mentioned. Because some people believe that The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap came first in the series, some people also think that each Link or some Links are descendants of the Hero of Men, rather than the Hero of Time.
