Well, it looks like all the files with more than 1 link I find on this

Indeed... now that I think about it, I'm surprised I didn't think of it before. Each directory has the following:

- a hard link from its parent directory
- a hard link from itself (".")
- a hard link from any child directory ("..")

At least, that's what makes sense in my head to explain this. Am I right here, folks? :)
