Contrary to even Nintendo's occasional assertions Link's more than just an avatar; he's one of Nintendo's biggest mascots. It's not a coincidence that throughout literally dozens of games he's had the same look, right down to the green tunic and weird cap, or that it's Link and not the titular Zelda who's used to represent the franchise in nearly every bit of marketing featuring the Zelda series in some way, including but not limited to things like Smash Bros.
Nintendo may or may not change that going forward, but it's inaccurate to say that Link is "just" an avatar.
