Well, we already have a relatively prominent Nyx, but that Nyx could be given a last name and fit in fine afterward as long as said surname wasn't "Nightingale", in case you end up deciding not to rename her entirely.

Keep in mind that there is plenty of canonical precedent for Link spending lots of money on clothes. The resistant tunics in Ocarina of Time cost 200 Rupees each, which is a full Adult's Wallet, and the Magic Armor in Twilight Princess cost... let me check the wiki for the exact number... 598. Still, those have magical superpowers that protect Link from harm, so it makes sense why they'd cost so much. It would be bad if the clothes that cost so much money both did nothing and made Link look like a moron, though.

You're right; when it's considered from an in-universe context, those traits aren't all that Suvian aside from the ones that make her a multilingual werebeast, since Link has shown that horse riding and archery can be learned within an incredibly short time span in the Zelda universe. There are theories that Link is capable of expertly using any weapon or tool he touches thanks to the latent power of the Triforce of Courage, but that wouldn't apply to games where he doesn't get the Triforce of Courage until most of the way through, and even if it was the case, it still doesn't explain his insta-equestrian skills. At least Twilight Princess explained those by saying he was a rancher before becoming a hero. Back on topic, I agree with you that she's salvageable, especially if the werebeast transformations become a problem that she has to deal with instead of the minor and little-thought-of annoyance that similar transformations have been treated as in spin-offs past.

At least we have Pokémon and Digimon in common for our childhood fandoms. I'm personally as guilty for never really getting into Power Rangers, but I distinctly remember watching some of Wild Force and owning a couple of Dino Thunder toys, so it wasn't a total disconnect. I've been getting some remedial Power Ranger-ology from Linkara's History of Power Rangers videos, to try and catch up on the pop culture phenomenon.
Hey, have you tried that Digimon game where you go onto the online Digimon catalogue, hit the Random page option, then whatever Digimon that comes up is treated as one set stage of your Digimon partner and you look through its list of pre-evolutions and Digivolved forms to find the best/your favorite ones to build your entire Digivolution chain from Baby to Mega? Or, Fresh 1 to Ultimate, as the catalogue calls them, because apparently it only uses the original Japanese terms for everything. It's quite engrossing, or at least it was for me. I got BigMamemon, and there are a surprising number of branching paths that can lead up to an Ultimate(well, "Perfect" in the catalogue's terms).
