If Link actually did these things for selfish reasons, then you'd have room to argue. He doesn't. He goes on these adventures because doing the right thing is just hotwired into his mind.
Disagreed, doing things for selfish reasons doesn't make you in any way a better or more interesting character, just a different kind, and being a hero and being courageous are very different. Ever read any of Ciaphas Cain's novels? Link is very brave, and his ability to NOT emo it up should be legendary considering he's one of the characters who gets the most thoroughly shit on through out his career.
Link's choices to not reflect somethign so simple and one dimensional as "brave gai with no emotions". Otherwise, he would have just told Mido who he was, or probably even said **** it to saving the world. Link is an insane stoic, and a lot deeper of a character than peopel credit him for due to his lack of dialogue.
