Well what if you're someone like me who spends very little time with fictional media outside of gaming? I guess I'm more of an aberration than the norm, but still...I can't see myself caring much for a fictional character contest, personally.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mario was the first fictional character I had ever heard of, in fact.
So yes, *I* would personally prefer if we simply removed Link instead as opposed to keeping Link and adding loads of non-VG native fictional characters I don't give much of a darn about. The latter idea would most definitely be better for site traffic, though. Argh. I don't want to advocate an idea I don't like.
