Gotcha. I don't mind Link being the way he is, but I would be more okay with them making him a full character than with them making him a customizable standee. If having him in the sort of middle ground he's in now of not quite being a distinct character could be resolved by adding more dialouge...
Personally, I wouldn't be okay with him being customizable. Yeah it's a problem that his personality is pretty weak, if not nonexistent, but that doesn't mean the solution would be making it so he's not a character anymore. We need the opposite. That being said, I'm still down for outfit...
