As the title says, this has spoilers for Breath of the Wild's second DLC "Champion's Ballad". You have been warned twice.
Alright, so in the Champion's Ballad, we get more background on Hyrule's Champions. You get them from the memory cutscenes, and also their personal diary's. You also get more info on Link himself from each person's point of view. Like how he was fucking 4 years old when he was considered a swordsmen prodigy, able to handle his own against adults. Reading Mipha's diary, you found out when he was a kid, he smiled, was curious and talkative (and short). But when you keep reading her diary, she says one day (when they are older) he just stopped being as such. He became silent and stoic. He was still kind and would go out of his way for people, but he wasn't the happier person he use to be, choosing usually to speak very little. This is the way he's explained to be by the others, as well as Daruk and Urbosa bringing up that Link had something on his mind/heart, but had issues expressing his problems.
So what happened to Link between his childhood and when he got older? Some of the diaries say he opened up to Zelda and told her his problems, but they never say what the problem was. From one memory prior to the DLC, Zelda bring up Link's father also being a knight, but that's about it. We don't get much more than that. Was his dad abusive or forced knighthood onto Link? What happened?
