How would I make my character (link) bigger?

float x;
float y;
PImage linkUp;
PImage linkDown;
PImage linkLeft;
PImage linkRight;
PImage current;


void setup () {
  size(1000, 800);
  linkUp = loadImage("link_Up.png");
  linkDown = loadImage("link_Down_Shield.png");
  current = loadImage("link_Down_Shield.png");
  linkLeft = loadImage("link_Left_Shield.png");
  linkRight = loadImage("link_Right_Shield.png");
  x = 50;
  y = 100;
}


void draw () {
  background(0);
  image(current, x, y);
}


void keyPressed() {

  if ( key == CODED) {
    if ( keyCode == UP) {
      current = linkUp;
      y = y - 10;
    }
    if ( keyCode == DOWN) {
      current = linkDown;
      y = y + 10;
    }
    if ( keyCode == LEFT) {
      current = linkLeft;
      x = x - 10;
    }
    if ( keyCode == RIGHT) {
      current = linkRight;
      x = x + 10;
    }
  }
}

Alternatively, use the version of image () with 5 parameters.

Both these methods require additional runtime processing. I'd prefer to resize the image outside of processing and use those bigger images instead.

use resize in setup, but never in draw. It's too slow.

Don't use the version of image() with 5 parameters. It's too slow.
