This looks good.
I think the input code is a good, understandable, chunk to separate.
The title lesson is pretty brief, so it seems like a good opportunity to do some 'housekeeping'/refactoring.

| ## Organizing Our Code | ||
| Our project is getting quite large with all the functionality we're building in! Let's briefly go over how to better organize things. Until now, we have always added new code into the same assembly file (`main.asm`). This file can get pretty large if we're not careful. Instead, RGBDS has a handy feature for making [functions](./functions.md) or other labels visible to external files. As an example, let's take everything we added in our [input](./input.md) lesson, and put it in a separate file named [`input.asm`](https://github.com/gbdev/gb-asm-tutorial/raw/master/unbricked/title-screen/input.asm). |

"This file can get pretty large if we're not careful." doesn't explain why the file growing is undesirable.

As discussed in #149, it could be beneficial to introduce linking multiple assembly files in the Title Screen section of the tutorial. This section of the tutorial is rather sparse, and could help prepare for the complexity of the Serial Link section, which is currently the section which introduces multi-file projects.
This PR adds a section to the Title Screen page which teaches how to make and build multi-file projects. It also slightly rewords the Serial Link section now that the Title Screen has already introduced that topic. Lastly, it removes and corrects the style of the
input.asmfile in the way that #149 intended to.
