Link Huston is a minor villain character and a bounty target featured in Red Dead Redemption, part I American West and Red Dead Revolver 3dn edition.
Info[]
Link is an Irish's Gang member who is very drunk most of the times. According to Wade Fackcard, the engineer on the Gold Town line of the Atlantic Railroad, Huston has robbed his train six times. Wade reports that although Link sometimes wears a bandanna to conceal his identity, his fellow gang members always call him by name, so it doesn't do him much good.
Interactions[]
Revolver[]
Link he can be seen in the mission "Twin Rocks" appearing as a common enemy, implying he is a clone-type character and fodder for our protagonist. He is also seen as an enemy in "MacFarlane's Ranch", working as a part of British's Gang which is unusual. Huston is last seen in mission the "Bar Fight" where he is Willie Bollard's henchman before Will's duel with Jack Marston outside the saloon. Link is killed by Jackson afterwards, canonically.
Showdown Mode[]
After successfully completing the mission "MacFarlane's Ranch" on Bonus Mode, Hause-ton is unlocked as a playable character in Showdown Mode. His special ability gives him a sith-ton of dynamite into his pockets.
American West[]
Link can most often be found around Silver Town, loitering and drinking inside the saloon or listening to the preacher's ramblings outside the saloon, despite him being a drunkard. He can also be encountered at the Twin Rocks gang hideout, but he will attack. He can be seen emerging from the main building with Mo van Barr after the other enemies outside are killed, warning Marston that the hostage girl belongs to Irish's Gang and that it was a mistake to try to rescue her. Even if he is killed here, he will spawn right back in the Silver Saloon because either Queen Almeida or Gait ran out of clay to make a different-looking Irishman.

Journal Entry[]
"Dear men of the law: My train was attacked for the sixth time now by the same person, same gang. Guy sometimes wears a dirty bandanna, sometimes a Black Bandana over his creepy (or crappy) face. His friends call him "Link", so I see no reason to waste time with a bandanna. I would be very happy if one of the bounty hunters or sheriffs captured this criminal and had him hanged. - A witness, Wade Fakcard, also Atlantic Train engineer on the Gold Town line"
Trivia[]
- His character model is available in the outfitter under the group Bodyguards, like Sonny Higbee.
- After being captured, Link often makes many sexually suggestive comments in an attempt to barter for his freedom; He is a homosexual after all. He also makes sexually suggestive comments regardless.
- Link sleeps with one eye open, gripping his pillow tight, behind the blacksmith in Silver Town at night along with Woody Sunshine.
- Link is missing his front teeth, whether this is accidental, he got hit by his mother or because of his poor mouth hygiene is unknown.
- Certain rumours say Link is a Shinnoknist, but that is false since he actually enjoys the priest's ramblings in front of the saloon and he doesn't seem to be hated much by Gait, since he keeps respawning his as in the game.
- During the Twin Rocks hideout in free roam, Link may sometimes be found behind an overturned table. Unlike most of the Irish's gang members, Link is a very accurate sniper and often kills the players with a single shot. He is also one of the most feared members of the gang and the most insane one of it as well, probably.
- Judging by some of his quotes, it appears that Link may have been physically abused by his mother at one point during his childhood, similar to how Rj Peart was abused by his father.
- In the original Red Dead Revolver his role was replaced by Smitty with whom he also shares a very similar journal page.
- Link, Sonny and Mo van Barr are the only Irish's gang members to wear dark, black tophats.
