But in DK Jr's point of view he's the good guy... so we could go on like this for some time if we'd like.
Nah. Let's just make a fangame in which the chick from Donkey Kong has to convince the Mario family and the DK family to stop their feud.
Recall the Nintendo Power comic in which Mario was a bully to Wario during their childhood?
I could see Link going evil, in a nutso-crazy sort of way... that boy's under too much stress. Hell, I turned evil for about a week when I realized that OoT and the subsequent games were supposed to be canon. Samus, though... she does some seriously nasty, demented things, but I couldn't consider her evil or good. Just uninhibited, or perhaps lacking in foresight and/or social mores.

An evil Link would be pretty easy to see, I actually would like to se a Zelda game where Link got the Triforce of Power, just to see what would happen to him and what he could end up doing to the world.
Samus on the other hand is a bounty hunter they just do what they're paid to do, if they pay you millions of dollars to blow the hell out of a planet, you just do it, take the money, and find someone who'll pay you to something that they're to lazy or unable to do themselves. So for her evil is more of a relative thing.

It's really hard to tell how Samus operates. Officially she's a bounty hunter, but all her missions seem to be on behalf of the Federation. And if she's just a bounty hunter, the stuff the GF hires her for doesn't make sense. Take Prime 2. No military organization is going to hire a mercenary to look for lost troops; you send more troops to do that, and if they go missing, maybe you start to consider other options. Or look at Fusion, where Samus is the muscle for a science expedition. How can the GF afford to pay a bounty hunter's prices for every little thing?
There must be more to it. Samus's experience with SR388 sort of explains the Fusion case, and maybe in the Primes she was motivated by her hatred of the Space Pirates, but she really does seem to have some kind of loyalty to the Federation that hasn't been explained. I'm just guessing here, but maybe the Chozo advised her on this. They're all about peace, and what's the Federation about if not restoring peace in space? I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out the Chozo played some role in the creation of the GF, like big birdy Vulcans.

I'm not familiar with Prime or Prime 2, but it seems more likely to me that having called her a bounty hunter before all this backstory was created they're now kind of stuck with it even though the story has grown beyond that constraint. Sort of like how they're stuck trying to make all the Zeldas retroactively part of a continuous storyline rather than just calling Ocarina and Link to the Past remakes of Zelda 1.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the blowing up the planet part generally not her idea? The Space Pirates rigged the time bombs on Zebes and aiming the space station at SR-388 was Adam's plan rather than hers.

Well... there is the consideration of where the nearest available troops are - I mean, they can't just pull a garrison unit off-planet just because they lost another unit somewhere else. The locals would riot. Also, they have no accountability or overhead for bounty hunters. If a squad goes missing, they've easily lost several million dollars' worth of... what, credits?... especially counting troop transports and those powered armor suits. However, if a bounty hunter goes plooey, they don't even have to make a press release, let alone spend the bling to train new soldiers and replace lost equipment.

Well... the e-comic sort of shows the Chozo rooting for the Feds, and I think Old Bird exhorts Samus to support the organization a few times.

Oh yeah. It ain't walkin' away from that one.

Not exactly. Aside from OoT -> Majora's Mask, all Links are different (or at least there's a few different ones). Wind Waker is a good example of this, and I know from somewhere there's more Links. So nyeh. :P
But I could see OoT Link going crazy, he did everything for Zelda, and she's just sorta like "Thanks. Bye.". And with Navi? >_<
