He is, of course, the Pac-Man from Pac-Land, the one with legs and a face, that we know today, but Nintendo has included a number of classic moves.
Pac-Man can shoot out 2D sprites (8-bit style) and then turn into pizza-style Pac-Man and rush to go get it, hurting players as he eats into them. Pac-Man also has a move where he drops a fire hydrant.

For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule.
