The Link Build

[RemoJr]

Alright, just for fun i got the idea of a link, from zelda, build. What i wanted to accomplish was:
1.) stay true to material
2.) be fun
3.) be effective
I tried to use material from as many games as I could. I had a reason for each part of the build. Any assistence would be happily accepted. I'm not going for the most uber build ever, this is just to find link build. I have no intension on ever playing this build, though if someone eles does, go for it.

The basic Idea i had was a sword-and-board meeler that is also good with a bow, has UMD, perform skills, and the whirlwind feat and being effective without forgoing the origenal material. I also want this to be sensible, so I limited top-end gear and went with a 28 point build. I guess a 32 pt build can either increase con by 2 or cha by 4.

Link

elf- he's an elf

6ranger/6fighter/2bard- he seems to me to have a decent amount of ranger in him, and he meleees alot so some fighter. bard is from is music playing.

str 16 + 2 enh + 4 item + 3 lvls + 1 tome = 26 str- he's strong
dex 16 +4 enhs + 4 item + 2 tomes = 26- he's fast
con 12 + 4 item = 16- i've never found him to have a huge con, though he is still a meleer
int 14- need to be smart for thoose puzzles
wis 8 +4 item = 12- more for ranger spells then anything really
cha 10 + 4 = 14 cha- UMD

feats:
1-dodge- link is good at dodgeing blows
(2)fgt1-weapon focus: slash- he always uses longswords
3-mobility- he does tumble often
(5)fgt2-spring attack- required for whirlwind
6-combat expertise- he's good at defenses
9-imp. crit: slash- he focuses on longswords
(10)fgt4-weapon spec.: slash- he focuses on longswords
