As a matter of fact I'm not too clear on the rules myself. I tend to make a 'link' when there has been a meeting or directly implied meeting (i.e. 2 characters in the same place at the same time) between 2 characters. I probably wouldn't connect Melian to Olorin unless I really had to, even though it's very likely that they met.

I'd hesitate to make the link between Thorondor and Gwaihir, since Gwaihir was only descended from Thorondor but didn't actually meet him. But that's just my opinnion, and I'm not sure what BW's original intentions were.

Anyway, the next one is:

Tar-Anárion -> Anárion
