A dead link is a hyperlink that no longer works or takes its clicker to somewhere unintended.

Typical destinations of dead links are HTTP 404 or 403 errors or to a generic search engine-type page proclaiming, "This domain is up for sale!"

On most of this wiki, as well as a vast majority of other wikis, internally-directed dead links are indicated in red, although Sugar Wiki uses pink (unless you hover your mouse over the link).

If you see a dead external link on this wiki, correct it, remove it, or flag it with the {{broken link}} template. If you see a dead internal link, then, in the immortal words of the instructions that appear when you click on it, "There is currently no text in this page."

Has nothing to do with Ganon's preferred status of a certain protagonist.
