Would it then be a good practice to link it inside the html as <link rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css"> instead of <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> as it would be in the folder.

If your stylesheet was within a css folder your code would look similar to this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">
The file structure might look as follows:
- index.html (file)
- css (folder)
- style.css (file)
whereas if it was at the same level as index.html it would appear as follows:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
The file structure might look as follows:
- index.html (file)
- style.css (file)
Is this what you mean?
