Yea hes Link if you talk to him alot he says different things some relating to Zelda games plus when you get his bag you get a map, compass and Lion Headed Key those are the map, compass and Big Key you need in dungions in Zelda games also when you throw his sword into the pool and it comes out stronger thats taked from the Zelda game A Link to the Past and the Golden Flame that Blazerunner has is a piece of the Triforce if you read what Linken says and the pic is a triangle too and then theres the obvious name and the two weapons you get that are from the Zelda games there is most likely more similarities but you get the point.
