Mmmm, not quite that either; Link, before his call to defend Hyrule, didn’t travel around much. I’m sure he’s been to a few places: a Goron village here, a Zora city there (in part thanks to Zelda), but overall he’s barely seen all of the wonders Hyrule has to offer. So at most I’d say he’s world-curious; he’d love to see all of the provinces of Hyrule and experience the unique and rich cultures of all the races of their lands, would love to ride a boat to sea and see just how far he could go and what he’d discover. He’d love one hell of an adventure, but the type he ends up getting isn’t exactly one he was thinking of. O:
some of you have never spent 100 years frozen in an iceberg while the world you were responsible for protecting fell to war and it shows
some of you have never been painfully disfigured by your own father at the tender age of 14 in response to an simple misstep and it shows
some of you were never forced to invent metalbending as your only escape from a hostage situation and it shows
some of you have never lost your first love when she gave up her physical form to become the spirit of the moon and it shows
some of you have never confronted the man that murdered your mother by turning the rain above him into ice daggers only to give up your pursuit for vengeance out of pity and self-love and it shows
some of you have never been raised to believe that you are an unloveable monster and that your enemy is your own brother rather your evil father who carefully groomed you to be his greatest weapon and it shows
some of you have never lost your entire livelihood due to a group of rowdy teenagers’ recklessness and complete disregard for the value of cabbages and it shows
