Fusible links like those in the starter seldom fail because of their high amp rating. Unless there is a terrible short circuit or overload issues like stuck up starter motor. Thats why you need to find out the root cause before attempting final repairs. The safest way to repair a fusible link is to replace it with a new one of same current rating. The poor man's way is to solder a bypass wire on top of the fusible, however if the poor man does not have rich knowledge in electricity( say like estimating the size of wire to be applied) he may get more poorer becoz the wires may smoke and he may burn the car. So be careful with this kind of repairs. ?
You would cut out the old link and solder a new piece of the same gauge wire in to properly protect the cable .

follow the wire where you think the link may be, and and where the large bulge is, is where the link usually is, now the fuse is not usually non-replaceable, so you can go to a parts house and get an aftermarket fuse link that can easily be installed. take the voltage regulator with you and have it tested to insure it was not damaged.
also check all fuses in the fuse box. and the link on the main wire on the back of the alternator.

Turn the key to run,truck in park,and jump the starter from the small wire to the large wire on the starter solinoid.If it starts,all is good and your fussible link is probably right.The fusable links are located in the engine compartment,under a cover on the firewall.

It doesn't matter because they all carry +12V to the respective circuits. What does matter is which fusible link goes to which circuit (assuming they are different) but if you didn't cut them off, then they should still be connected to the correct circuits.
