...allow me to extrapolate a bit, rather than deal with a bunch of PMs (which I'll probably get anyway):
I didn't realize this had already been made in the games section and closed, then opened here as a result of that. We can't undermine another mod's decision, and it also goes against forum rules anyway (comic stuff only).
And while some can make a claim to comic-dom, at least a little, Link is almost entirely a game character, and the thread reflects that. It was only being allowed on a trial basis in the first place, and it's obvious that it doesn't really belong.
