Well, it pretty much depends on if you count the games such as the Classic NES Series as "separate" or not (seeing how it's mainly just a portable version of the original NES game). If you are just talking about every single game as a whole, then it would be about 22 as it was mentioned before. But he has made many minor appearances in other games, and I decided to find a list to show you his brief cameos.
Tetris (NES/GameBoy) — appears after winning a B-type game of level at least 9 and height at least 1
F-1 Race (GB)
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES)
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest (SNES/GBA)
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (SNES)
Donkey Konga 2 (EU/NA) (GCN)
Mario Golf (N64)
Picross NP Vol.5 (SFC)
Animal Crossing (GCN)
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ (GBA)
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Games (GCN)
WarioWare: Twisted! (GBA)
WarioWare: Touched! (NDS)
Final Fantasy (GBA) - Link's name appears on a tombstone in Elfland. In the NES version, the tombstone is Erdrick's.
In many Kirby games, when Kirby obtains the "sword" power-up, he also gains a green cap identical to Link's. This also occurs in the Super Smash Bros. games, when Kirby "absorbs" Link or Young Link.
World of Warcraft - A gnome NPC named Linken makes an appearance in the MMORPG World of Warcraft. He is dressed similarly to Link and gives players quests that, once completed, give the player "Linken's Boomerang" and "Linken's Sword of Mastery". The player also recieves a photograph of Linken standing with a female gnome that looks remarkably similar to Princess Zelda.

WOW... I knew there were a bunch of cameos... but not that many. Link is the MAN!
Ummm.. NO! Dont ruin the series by changing the main characters around. If you want to ADD different characters thats fine, but dont change whats already there.
