My mate " His only friend and his only company ( ginger ) dies. Link still keeps on going even though he is alone and he also doesn't have a mentor any more, to teach him how to survive homelessness. This shows that link was tough and didn't give up even if all hope was lost. Link, the main character is very strong and doesn't give up easily
