THEORY: Doom Guy is Link? 6 Reasons the Doom Marine and Link From Zelda are Totally the Same Guy

Heroes from different eras, two different styles of fighting and two totally different video games may actually be the same person. Outside Xtra, the sister channel to Outside Xbox, explorers the theory of these two legendary heroes being the same person reborn. Taking in consideration their stories, there are tons of similarities that feed the possibility of this being true. Each hero has survived decades of wake up, kick ass, find legendary weapon, kick more ass, repeat. Outside Xtra does an amazing job at highlighting some facts that might go unnoticed since you’re not looking for them. Let’s introduce our heroes. 

Link from The Legend of Zelda

Link is the protagonist of Nintendo’s video game series The Legend of Zelda. The character appears in several incarnations over the course of the games, and also features in other Nintendo media, including its merchandising, comic books, and a cartoon series. He is one of Nintendo’s main icons as well as one of the most well-known and popular characters in video game history. 

Doomguy from Doom 

The Marine, commonly known as Doomguy and referred to as the Doom Slayer in the 2016 reboot, is the unnamed player character in the Doom series of science fiction horror video games created by id Software, and its sequels and spin-off media. He is a space marine dressed in green combat armor who never speaks onscreen. Considered a symbolic persona, the original depiction of Doomguy doesn’t have a defined personality and barely portrays a predefined character.
