How to redirect a link to a new link?

Go with the easiest alternative of all: do nothing.

No, really: WordPress itself handles redirects for renamed Post Titles.

Edit

Apparently, the retention of _wp_old_slug only happens for non-hierarchical objects.

So, since Pages are hierarchical, they don’t get to enjoy the auto-magic slug redirection.

Therefore, for static Pages or other hierarchical post objects, I would recommend using a 301 Redirect Plugin. There are several to choose from.
