To keep it real simple there is no need to use TronLink if you don’t want it.
Just go to tronscan.org and create a TronWallet for free. You can create as many as you would like for free. One or two should do though lol.
This can be done with any browser. Once you have created a Tron wallet you will have a wallet address ( the identifier for where to send your Tron tokens too ) and a private key.
I can’t stress this enough, keep your private key private. Also make a hand written copy and put it in your locked safe. Don’t share or expose it to anyone.
The private key is how you can get into your personal tron wallet.

Hope this helps. Just ask away with any questions and I’d be happy to help. Also check out @jtsofficial . We have lots of free helpful information ✌🏻
