I do not. Early in the contests he probably deserved it. 2k2 was a legit win and 2k4 was a semi-legit comeback. Zelda as a series hasn't actually been good for a long time now, though, and his continued love is totally suspect in my view. Link is mostly carried by a 13 year old game that is way better in retrospect than it is in actual reality. OoT and everything before it was pretty revolutionary, everything since has been utterly derivative. How he continues to be top dog amazes me almost as much as The Legend of of Zelda did when I was seven.
Wow most of the reason why I say that Link doesn't deserve his popularity is because of Ocarina of Time being so strong in comparison to everything else (sans FF7, and even then there's still a surprisingly large gap there). Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess are not fully deserving of their contest strengths either (yeah TP is better than both N64 Zeldas, but they're all overrated in regards to contest strength). The Wind Waker, on the other hand, is perfectly fine where it is.
