How this match got more votes than the actual final, I'll never know. I get that this was a big joke to laugh about how dominant Link was, but this match really should have been Link vs Snake. It took 5 years for us to actually get that as a bonus poll and it required Draven pissing everyone off, of all things.
The match itself was funny for a minute, as CD-I Link took the bandwagon votes and was winning for a couple minutes. Once that dried up though, Classic Link annihilated everyone in one of the funniest cases of SFF we'll ever see. Not only do we have Same Game SFF, but we have Same Character SFF! And spare me the "different Links from multiple time lines" crap. No one cares.
95,000 votes for the winner of a bonus poll is a record that probably never falls. Seeing CD-I Link get second place here was legitimately funny, and I'm actually surprised Young Link got last place. Do people really like Toon more than him, or was this legitimate Ocarina of Time SFF? I wouldn't be surprised if people didn't like Young Link, given he kinda sucks in the beginning of Ocarina of Time, but that begs the question of why Majora's Mask didn't matter more. Then there's the business of Smash Bros, where we legitimately have three of these characters as separate fighters somehow. I'm probably overthinking it.
Congrats to Link on the win, and congrats to CD-I for being what all true warriors strive for!

Stats and Analysis[]
This is the single greatest case for SFF ever. This is not just a simple "characters from the same genre" SFF, or "the same series" SFF, or even "the same game" SFF. It is the same character SFF. Link SFF'd himself into the ground so hard that he seems weaker than CATS. This is the first time that Link has ever been SFF'd and failed to break 10% in a match, but on the other hand, Link also scored the second highest percentage in 4-way contests in this match!
This match also has the highest vote total in 2008, proving that Link is one of the biggest vote draws in these contests.
On that note, Wee CD-I Link! MAH BOI, this contest result is what all true warriors strive for!
