Well first we only have Majora's word on being a good guy, I mean Darth Vader and Sephiroth were under the delusion they were good. But okay, at least I can see where you are coming from now. On the other topic though to say Oni are inherently evil is to say demons are as well, and mythology/theology only counts for so much there because there are always exceptions. The word "Demon" is applied a lot more liberally than it used to, and on a side note Shintoism classifies nearly everything as a demon, from benign river spirits to Westerners with blonde hair.

But all that is really just aside note you see. See the word "Villain" refers to an evil antagonist of a story, evil heroes do exist, Vegeta, Raven, Kratos, hell Hiei, is a full blooded demon and not just a little evil, but still qualified as hero because he helps and soon becomes a main protagonist of the story. Oni Link would qualify as a villain, and need to be removed if it had some inherent ambitions of it's own and was using Link to get it's own agenda done, otherwise it is just a nebulously titled "Dark Power" or more adequately via the original translation a demonic power, but one which is solely applied to do good. So I can now appreciate your concern but our current applications still allow it to qualify as a protagonist, or more precisely a protagonist's alter-ego. HOwever if you wish you may add a trivia section to the bottom of the page to expain the original translation and origin of the word Oni.
