Talk:Young Link

Uh, about the Melee info- Young Link has the Deku Shield and the OoT-style Kokiri Sword, so I'm editing out mentions that he wields the Hylian (Hero's in Majora's Mask) Shield. Dinosaur bob 14:14, 12 November 2007 (EST)

In fact, since OoT Link and MM Link are the same person, perhaps I should edit out that whole passage arguing that it's any specific game's Link. What do the rest of you think? Dinosaur bob 14:20, 12 November 2007 (EST)

I'm not entirely sure. It would seem that SSMB's YL indeed, qua powers and looks (official artwork of OOT/MM-Link = YL in SSMB), is OOT/MM Link, but on the other hand, his trophy states that YL is (considered) "the true Link" (or something along those lines). Anyway, that would mean he is far more based on TLOZ Link. I think info on what Link he is based, is fine to stay, but the section has to be rewritten (like, The Great Bay/Lake Hylia-part; that's not an argument).IfIHaveTo 06:41, 13 November 2007 (EST)

"Young" Link
I think some clarity's needed with regard to the name. To me, Young Link describes the opposite of Adult Link, and as such only exists in OoT (and by extension MM and SSBM). The only reason for describing him as "young" is to distinguish him from the adult form. While it's true that Link in other games is also of around the same age, surely it's redundant to term these incarnations as Young Link, as he appears only at one age in these games and is, by default, young? In my view, if this article is not treated strictly in this sense, then it would need to be merged with and integrated into Link. —Adam (talk) 14:42, 27 March 2008 (EDT)
 * I think it falls under the same line as Toon Link. They are not their own character, but a notable derivation from the original. I do think it should be merged with Link. Saibh 19:04, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

I too think it should be merged with Link.--Link hero of light 19:10, 27 March 2008 (EDT)
 * I made a few (read: quite a few) changes to the article, and would like to know if my edits cleared any of this up so we can remove the tag at the top. Oh, and this article is too important to merge with Link, by the way :p. Anthony 09:09, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * This article really seems like it would be better off as a subsection of Link. This is, after all, just the child form of the OoT/MM Link, and none of the other Links get their own article.Ganondorfdude11 18:18, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion

 * 1) This is Link, and just as Toon Link doesn't have an article or that Ganon and Ganondorf don't have separate articles, there really is no reason that this should. Young Link is also a fanon name given in a spin-off title, so the name can't even be considered canon. 00:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
