Is there any disadvantages of putting application data on a 2nd drive and creating a link in its original place?

So what I'm doing is cut/paste a folder onto my 2nd drive and creating a link to it where it used to be. For example: I put .minecraft on my 2nd drive and created a "Basic link to file or directory" to it called .minecraft in its original location. It all seems to work great, but is there any downside that I'm not aware of? It seems a little too easy. Also is it ok to do this to my entire home directory? I'm mainly looking into this because 120gbSSD/2tbHDD, I wanna offload everything large to my 2nd drive.
