Yes, Link may not physically appear in ''Nintendo Land'', but players wear Link costumes and he is obviously referenced. That seems close enough to put in the ''Most Recent Appearance'' section. <span style="font-family:AR JULIAN; font-size:12pt">[[User:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Chuck</span>]][[User talk:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Norris</span>]]</span>[[File:24.png|23px]] 08:59, 22 July 2013 (EDT) | Yes, Link may not physically appear in ''Nintendo Land'', but players wear Link costumes and he is obviously referenced.

:No, that's not the character himself appearing in the game. There's a difference between "reference" and "appearance"; Sonic's shoes showing up in Donkey Kong Country 2 is in no way Sonic appearing in the game. Likewise, some miis dressed up as Link is not at all an actual appearance of Link. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 09:07, 22 July 2013 (EDT) | :No, that's not the character himself appearing in the game.

== Post-launch DLC and Most Recent Appearance == | |||
There's this one little logistic problem this wiki has never faced before concerning Most Recent Appearance I'd like to see settled via general consensus: there's ''Sonic Lost World'' base game --- sans Link, obviously --- released first (October 2013), followed by ''NES Remix'' (December 2013), which is then followed by the Zelda DLC for ''Sonic Lost World'' (March 2014) which features Link in a cameo. Meaning that a game that didn't have Link at launch now suddenly features him through an update after yestarday, which wouldn't be a problem for the Most Recent Appearance infobox except that a game that did feature him at launch managed to sandwich in between the Link-less launch of a game and its much later DLC guest-starring Link. Given this scenario, do we consider post-launch DLC for a game to be a separate product or do we disregard them entirely and consider only the base game even if so-and-so-character was not included in the on-disc package, coming in only through a later online update?
