Hero's Apple Farm is a farm created by Link after the events of the A Link to the Past manga by Akira Himekawa.

Features and Overview

The Hero's Apple Farm is first mentioned at the beginning of the manga, where Link is aiming to become an apple farmer and has decided to call his business Link's Apple Farm.[1][2] He originally wanted to be a swordsmith, but thought of it as kids' stuff when he got older.[3][4] During a storm early on in the story, when he is looking for his Uncle, Link finds his harvest of apples ruined, and devastated, says that it took four years for the trees to blossom.[5]

After the events of the manga, Link brings Princess Zelda to his apple farm, now called the Hero's Apple Farm.[6] Many villagers are there harvesting the apples. Ghanti tells some children that the Hero's apples are delicious and gives one the energy to grow.[7] Princess Zelda comments that Link has put a lot into the apples and they must be the sweetest in the world.[8] The hero and princess then sit together under one of the trees and eat the apples.
