A couple of things: first, I'd use the html link helper to make
links.
<?php echo $html->link('Test', '/controller/action'); ?>
Second, it should be /controller/action, not controller/action.
Third, pagesController is a built-in part of cake, so you can't have a
controller called pages.
In reference to your routes question, no, you shouldn't have to set a
route for every link you make. If you follow the /controller/action
model, things should just work.
