== Marin and Malon == 

 I added that Marin in Link's Awakening was the same as (or at least the basis for) Malon in later games (OoT's Malon was a singer, like LA's Marin; both have Mario-like lazy fathers whose names fall into the same pattern and begin with Ts; the Japanese language doesn't distinguish between Ls and Rs; and a magazine I once subscribed to (granted, not Nintendo Power) clearly referred to them as the same character) but it was reverted. Thoughts?
