The Soldier in the Back Alley is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He is a Hyrulean Soldier who appears only once: right before Link enters the Temple of Time with the three Spiritual Stones. The severely-wounded soldier can be found in Hyrule Castle Town's Back Alley, and if Link speaks to him, the soldier tells of Ganondorf's betrayal of the Royal Family of Hyrule and of Princess Zelda's escape. The soldier recognizes Link from Zelda's descriptions of a "forest boy". After his story is told, the soldier takes his last breath and dies. If Link tries to talk to him again, Navi will inform Link that "He's not moving anymore."
