The avatar interoperability thesis. 

Ocarina of Time allowed Link to be renamed. 

How far off are we from Link himself being replaceable?

probably a lot. customization sure but to have a truly replaceable hero probably requires same of the world they’re in

Really? I know very little of gaming tech but imagine setting up for one custom asset (admittedly the most sophisticated one) would be easier to integrate than building to allow a whole raft of custom items.

You’re right. The connection would be tough with, at the very least, careful handling of physically characteristic references.

meant more for story/universe to have the intended effect (would be odd to customize self but feel less connected to character/world)

tech limitations would also beg constraints (model sizes, resource bandwidth for mmo’s, etc) but that’s less a barrier
