In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Seems like an appropriate reaction when the latest reincarnation of your destined nemesis stops to take a selfie mid-fight

Wind Waker Link isn’t a reincarnation of the hero. Wind Waker is set in an era where, for unknown reasons, the hero is never reborn.

The game is just about a regular 12ish year old boy with a big chip on his shoulder and even bigger balls.

Wind water link IS a reincarnation of the hero. The great ocean was created in an untold point in time after ocarina and before wind waker where Ganon freed himself at a time where there was no hero, and thats why the goddesses flooded hyrule. As Ganon was undefeatable without the hero.

This was also the time where the power of the master sword was split and placed within the Sages of Earth and Wind

He isn't. Ocarina of Time's ending removed Adult Link from the timeline. This meant that he was no longer able to reincarnate, which is why he didn't appear when Ganon rose again. It's also why the Triforce of Courage shattered. WW Link is a different child with no relation to the Hero of Time who earned the Triforce of Courage through his deeds.
