Link Cyrus was born on the 13th of December, 1987, to Shelley Gwyn and Maxim Cyrus. He was born three minutes before his twin brother, Skylar. Link has had his abilities over plants and animals for the entirety of his life, but only learnt to control plants and animals sometime after his twelfth birthday. Link is intensely shy, and is often mistaken to be the younger of the twin boys, an illusion the two boys themselves tend to promote, to help deal with Link's social problems.
