The Knight Construct is the tritagonist of Nintendo's 2025 hack-and-slash science fantasy video game Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. He is a Construct Warrior discovered by the Korok Calamo, who managed to awaken him with a piece of the Master Sword, granting the Knight Construct the purpose of protecting others from destroying evil.
Personality
The Knight Construct is initially seen as a mysterious individual who acts without hesitation, but remains a loyal companion and friend to Calamo, who helped awaken it. This is due to the fact that the Knight Construct carries a piece of the Master Sword that was once wielded by Link from the future. As a result, the Knight Construct carries many of his core traits, including his sense of heroism, honor and determination.
Though he does not speak, it is clear from his actions that the Knight Construct is a selfless warrior that prioritizes in protecting the innocent. This is in contrast to the purpose he was originally created for as a weapon of destruction, instead being a heroic figure determined to vanquish evil. The Knight Construct is courageous enough that he is willing to put his own life at risk against his foes, for the sake of saving his friends and those in need.
History
Past
The Knight Construct was a Construct Warrior constructed by the ancient Zonai Tribe, who granted him and others in his class the ability to create and utilize Zonai devices for their own uses. His kind however had rebelled against their creators, which led to him and the rest of the Construct Warriors to be sealed away in the Depths beneath Tobio's Hollow.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
Some time after being sealed away, the Knight Construct was reawakened when he was discovered by Calamo, who happened to be exploring around the Depths nearby. Upon discovering a shard of the Master Sword, that was unintentionally sent by in time along with Zelda when she time travelled to the distant past, the shard would suddenly fly into the core of the Knight Construct, awakening him from his slumber. Shortly after, he became a loyal companion of Calamo, accompanying him on his travels.
The Knight Construct and Calamo later encountered Ardi and her companions, who had been abandoned and betrayed by their king Ganondorf, and were plotted to be assassinated. The Knight Construct manages to save them on time and defeat the assassins, as well as the Shades that invaded the area. He and Calamo then proceeded to head out on their way, after claiming a spear from one of the Gerudo assassins.

Trivia
- While he is of course meant to serve as a stand-in for Link, he shares many traits with the Hero of Time. Mainly being a selfless knight whose acts of heroism have been long forgotten and erased by the present time.
- This has caused the community to give the Knight Construct the nickname of "Clink", being a portmanteau of "construct" and "Link".
- The nickname he is given by Calamo is “bud”, just like Toothless in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
