If Link from The Legend of Zelda initially starts out with 3 hearts, does that mean he is an octopus?

Now that I think about it, yes.

What? NO!

Link? Legend? Zelda?

Wait...an octopus has 3 hearts?

No, there are no octopuses, so that would mean he is an Octorok, and I don't see 8 arms/legs or him spitting out rocks when he gets mad.
