Most conventional Dungeons & Dragons backgrounds can fit into Hyrule. Particularly suitable options include Charlatan, Folk Hero, Hermit, Outlander, and Sailor.

Make Your Own Background

Seriously, picking from a list is really lame. What happened to the days when you made up whatever kind of character you wanted? It isn't difficult to make up a bond, a flaw, and an ideal.

Want a Good Story?

Work with your DM to come up with a good, enjoyable background.

Want to Optimize?

Choose two skills; you're proficient in those. Then choose any one tool to be proficient in, and one language to know outside of those provided by your race.

Want Something Fun or Silly?
