Link being a valid Composite or not

What makes different composite Link form other composite profiles in this wiki?

What does "have the same soul" mean? Why is it mentioned as a point?
Does the soul canonically allow each Link to have the abilities, weapons, powers and abilities of each other?

Basically Link suffers conventional reincarnation (when one dies the next one gets the same soul, but without the memories).
Meaning that they really don't get "canon composite", even if Nintendo may treat Link like that as a whole to make the way to reference him simpler.

Neutral on this.

I would agree with this since there are other Links aside from the ones played as in games from the legends of Hyrule and such. It's a way to put all of those incarnations into the original spirit of the hero.

What's the logic behind "Nintendo treats Link as composite"? Why should we care if the games don't reflect it? Nintendo's definition of composite may be based off something else entirely and they may view it as a cute reference for why Link is a relatively consistant character wise across different interations.

We already have a thread on that, boys. It's even been highlighted.
Whether or not Link stays is entirely up to that.

Isn't that Staff Only though?

"Staff Only" often is just a fancy way of saying "don't derail and try to support the thread getting concluded".Inverted Tempest said:
Meaning that if you have something worthy of being brought up that doesn't derail, you can go ahead even if you aren't staff unless explicitly stated otherwise (This case not being one of them).

Link's compositing is because he doesn't have a main Link, it's all different versions. It's like how Zora, Goron, Gerudo, and some future enemy pages being planed to added are composite variations.

I support Triforce's idea that he brought up. About changing Composite Link to the Spirit of the Hero.

Aren't those races? They of course are composites of sorts with the exception of those who are well...exceptions within those races such as Ganon. How does that compare to Link?GiverOfThePeace said:

Yeah, I agree C. Link should stay as "The Spirit of the Hero", since they are explicity different aspects and reincarnations of the same character.

Why is Link having the same spirit being compared to a composite profile of a race? The definition of race is irrelevent here unless each Link is apart of the Link race that I'm unaware of. Having the same spirit doesn't justify a composite profile, at least not the current one.GiverOfThePeace said:

"The definition of race is irrelevant"
I didn't now we reach this hard now.
He's objectively part of a race of heroes that is the psirit of the hero. It does, cause like triforce said in a previous thread, it's not even a composite in a way.

I'm reaching by calling Link not a race? When has this ever been a thing?
You're trying to justify composite Link by using a baseless reasoning such as this?

I don't think Changing it to "spirit of the hero" makes it any better.
For one thing, some Links are mutually exclusive. The whole timeline thing causes this. 1 link wont exist if another link didn't die and so on. It's not reslly possible to be all of them at once.
Moreover, at no point in the series does such a being actually manifest armed wjth the powers and equipment of every link. Maybe an overarching arcetype exists, but there is no evidence of such a thing having composite abilities and equipment. We would ultimately still be indexing a character that doesn't exist, whether or not it's called a composite.

Ganondorf is just one character; he's not composite. Princess Zelda on the other hand is composite which also could use some work.

There are 19 profiles for the various Links, what is the point of a composite?
It'd be one thing if somehow, some kind of way, all the Links fused together in some sort of epic crossover event but they haven't. Composite Link is a hypotheical construct that doesn't actually exist.

I agree with Wokistan, the profile needs to go since "Spirit of the Hero" means literally nothing since said spirit doesn't keep the powers and abilities of it's prior incarnation.

There's no mutually exclusive Link, literally every Link is stated to have the spirit of the hero.Wokistan said:
The character does exist, the very page on nintendo shows that and Zelda verse has literally called it, "The Spirit of the Hero" https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Spirit_of_the_Hero

"The your logic"Dienomite22 said:
I don't get what you're trying to say there, word it better please.
I'm going to assume you're trying to say my logic(which is correlating to the definition so again, you're calling a definition baseless) is baseless, which I repeat what I said in my quote.
