I'm proposing merging [[List_of_fighters_debuting_in_Super_Smash_Bros._Melee#Young_Link|Young Link's]] and [[List_of_fighters_debuting_in_Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl#Toon_Link's|Toon Link's]] sections in the fighter lists they're in to this article, as well as having [[Young Link]] and [[Toon Link]] redirect to this article, for the following reasons: | I'm proposing merging [[List_of_fighters_debuting_in_Super_Smash_Bros._Melee#Young_Link|Young Link's]] and [[List_of_fighters_debuting_in_Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl#Toon_Link's|Toon Link's]] sections in the fighter lists they're in to this article, as well as having [[Young Link]] and [[Toon Link]] redirect to this article, for the following reasons: | ||

#{{User|Ahemtoday}} Similarly to a talking point between the sub-options of the current [[Samus]] TPP, these specific distinctions between Links are Smash-original. Although there are multiple individual Links in this case, Smash lumps adult OoT Link, TP Link, and BotW Link under the "Link" name while separating other versions, which is a Smash-original conceit. As Link's article specifically exists because of his ''non''-Smash relevance, I don't think it makes sense to follow Smash's lead in splitting these characters in this way. | #{{User|Ahemtoday}} Similarly to a talking point between the sub-options of the current [[Samus]] TPP, these specific distinctions between Links are Smash-original.

#{{User|Hewer}} Per Ahemtoday, and per the Samus proposal splitting Zero Suit Samus into the same page as Samus. Since we've got a Link page for the character's Mario-relevant appearances, it makes sense to put all of those appearances there rather than splitting based solely on Smash. | #{{User|Hewer}} Per Ahemtoday, and per the Samus proposal splitting Zero Suit Samus into the same page as Samus.

#{{User|Tails777}} I'm kinda leaning more to opposing. Neither Toon Link, nor Young Link have nearly as much connection to the ''Mario series'' as normal adult Link does, meaning their presence here is almost entirely reliant on their ''Smash'' info (I guess they do have cameos in ''WarioWare'', but that's a cameo, not a full on appearance). As a result, it, to me, makes more sense to follow Smash's way of separating them. The length of the respective lists doesn't feel like too strong of a reason, as those lists are going to be long regardless due to the fact that they're meant to cover so many fighters and the incarnations going by the name Link is only really relevant to the ''Legend of Zelda series'', which doesn't really have too much to do with how the ''Mario series'' covers them. In the context of ''Smash'', something we still have coverage on, it refers to them as individual fighters so I think it's fine to keep them separate on their respective fighter lists. | #{{User|Tails777}} I'm kinda leaning more to opposing.
