Amusing.

Look that tent guy never said I couldn't use whatever devices I had on me, and the whole thing was a scam anyway! It's like calling the guy with a cannon a cheater when the "knock down the cups" game uses one big solid plastic mold that only looks like stacked cups!

Other than that, Link is completely insane. I mean the guy dashes around town madly, breaks a bunch of pots, then helps random strangers politely followed by bursting into the door of a family of 3, opening all the chests, then interrogating them about where the desert temple is before randomly pulling on a portrait, dusting a chicken in magic dust "just in case" as he tells them, and dashing outside.

You can't say he's just an adventurer because, well most of it is completley outside the task at hand. You can't say the guy's a murderer, or purely anti-social, or a thief or something, because he helps does good deeds for people just as often as he robs them, and most of what he does can't be classified as... anything rational for even a thief to engage in.

No the only rational explanation is Link is completely insane, like he has no grasp on reality and just does whatever pops into his mind that seems like it might be interesting maybe. Almost like... it's all a game to him.

"Look, ma'am, I'm saving the world here. Are you really going to complain that some clay pots got smashed along the way? I mean, if you want to do my job, feel free. Hell, I'll give you the sword, and you can go defeat the ultimate evil in my place. I could use a breather.

What's that? Can't do it? You're too afraid to step outside the city walls? Yeah, that's what I thought. Out of the way. I've got lives to save."
