AKA, how to edit Link in a way to keep him in the wiki.
Basically, we'll edit it as to make it follow the same structure as pages like Mario or Kirby. First off, we divide his abilities into keys, just like this thread (this is the page) already tried to do. I was initially against it as, well, it was "Composite" Link, but now that we're "decomposing" Link, this is necessary, as well as separating "Standard Equipment" (which is basically just the normal Master Sword and the Triforce of Courage, both of which already have a page so easy stuff) from his "Optional Equipment".
Secondly, these keys would be tiered separately. I'm unsure about the "innate abilities" (I'm guessing "At least 6-C, likely 5-A" is fine, considering the first one is fodder level and 5-A is Hero's Shade level, who has effectively no empowering equipment), but Standard Equipment would be "At least 5-A, likely High 4-C" (the same tier as the Master Sword and ToC), Optional equipment is 3-A for the Golden Master Sword and lastly The Triforce key is 3-A because Triforce. Again, pretty easy stuff.
Obviously the division for the equipment must also be made into the equipment section.
Lastly, changing "Link (Composite)" into just "Link" or "Link (Spirit of the Hero)". I honestly prefer the first one because it's less confusing for those who aren't a fan of the series, even if the second one is technically more appropriate given that what this is, at the end, is effectively making a page for "The Spirit of the Hero" more than "decomposing" Link. It wouldn't count as a composite anyway since he's an actual character of the verse, and assuming otherwise is simply contradicting the lore. Nintendo itself considers Link a single guy as shown on the official website or Hyrule Encyclopedia, and while it's hard to explain with words, there's a reason why every single wiki with Link has a single page for him. Obviously this also means we would need to nuke the different pages for the canon Link, as he's effectively always the same guy.
