What is this rule which states characters not utilise character creation options?

Out of curiosity do you know in which games ganon was alternate incarnation?

The ganon that appears in FSA.

There is no rule. Just like there is no rule that Mario should not utilise character creation. But Link is a character. Its stupid to, after 30 years, suddenly change Link into a nameless avatar.
