It doesn't work that way.
Mario is the same character in every game.
Link is not. It's the same spirit (although only partially), but different people. Spirit Tracks Link exists 100 years after Wind Waker happens. Phantom Zelda is the grand daughter of Tetra.
This is all canonical stuff.
And the reason Twilight Princess Link is using the Gale Boomerang instead of a regular one.
My question is really why a character should show off weapons he didn't use instead of letting him use his own unique arsenal? The whip and the Spirit Flute and all that. Hell, even the train.
