Why was Link so focused on the "Fairy" Potion?
The reason was simple, he lacked developmental time.
If he wanted to develop independently without becoming dependent on others, he needed a full plan to quickly enhance the power of his direct line.
Improving Wizard qualifications was the first choice, to improve potential and raise the ceiling.
This would consider current needs without affecting long-term prospects.
"Empowerment" was a perverse method that should only be used to expedite combat readiness and increase cannon fodder, and should not be used lightly except at critical moments.
It was a double-edged sword, hurting both the enemy and oneself.
It would greatly affect one's reputation, causing damage to their image.
Options like "Sublimation" could be considered.
But the prerequisite was that Link had to have a Servant Soldier Origin World from which he could continuously summon servant soldiers.
