Does capitalization matter in backlinks for SEO?

I was wondering if capitalization in backlinks matter when it comes to SEO ranking.

For example, if you're trying to rank for the term "Healthy Chips", would it matter if some of your backlinks are "healthy chips" and others are "Healthy Chips"?

    Nope.... it has nothing to do rankings.... you can use...Healthy Chips... or healthy chips... and even healthy Chips.. Anything won't make a difference to Google.

    Do a search and try different capitalisations - if the results are different then you know Google cares.

    Google search is not case sensitive.

    Oh, I guess it is different from URL canonicalization capitalization where they are read differently.

    Like how example.com/Healthy-Chips would be different from example.com/healthy-chips

    I guess it just sounded logical in my head that if that is case sensitive then linked words would be case sensitive as well. On the other hand, I don't know why capitalization in URLs should be any different...

    I think it matters if when searching on Google "Healthy Chips" and "healthy chips" gives different results, i think does not matter.
