The Link is a Tree is a theory proposed by Charles Darwin that many fans of the Legend of Zelda video games choose to follow. It states that Link descended from trees and evolved into the man-tree he is now. Followers of this theory of thought are often called Treeists, while opposers prefer to be called Atreeists. The theory discusses the possibility that Link evolved from trees rather than hominids as the rest of humanity. This theory does not include other common issues such as whether Tingle is Legolas or if Ganon is a rock.
