Grandpappy.

He knew, very vaguely, of the fact that there were Heroes before him. There must have been if he had inherited the forest green tunic from them and if all the Gorons and Zoras had left treasures to him. But even if their core character never changed, their upbringing alone was bound to make them different. One was a farmhand who had lived within the borders of the province for all his life while the other was a trained knight who had a bird from the Goddess herself. Their differences were as clear as night and day.

There was a moment's pause before Link relaxed then blinked in confusion. 'Link' as well? ... Don't tell him that the destined Heroes inherited this name as well.

With a quiet laugh, the country boy took the other Hero's hand to shake.

"An honour."

And it was. A few months ago, when he had this grand destiny foisted upon him by the Spirit Faron and Midna laughing at him at every turn, it wasn't. But now, after everything was said and done and Ganondorf slain(?) it was. He was honestly grateful.

"So, uh..." he flushed slightly because if there were two of them... "Do we know what the Gods want us to do?"

'Gods', plural. Not 'Goddess' so that should be indication enough to the 'older' Link that quite a bit had changed in the centuries between their births.
