<b>Hyrule Division:</b> <I>Round 1 - Match 1</I> – (1)Link vs. (16)CATS

<b>Moltar's Analysis</b>

<b>Link</b>

Game/Series Known From: Legend of Zelda Series

Extrapolated Rank in 2002: 1st

Extrapolated Rank in 2003: 2nd

Seed in 2002: 2

Seed in 2003: 1

Won Summer Contest 2002, beat Mario in the finals.

Lost in the Final 4 in 2003 to Cloud.

Was the favorite to win SC2K3

Look at that resume. Link has proven to us that he is more than an elf in a Green Tunic. He is also one of the strongest characters in GameFAQs Contests. Some are saying that this year is Link's year to rise again. Can he do it?

<b>CATS</b>

Game/Series Known From: Zero Wing

Extrapolated Rank in 2002: 47th

Extrapolated Rank in 2003: 56th

Seed in 2002: 13

Seed in 2003: 16

Lost in Round 1 both Contests to Ryu and Cloud respectively.

The "Joke Entrant" of the Contest

Ah yes, CATS. Guess the people nominate him just to see him get owned every year. He was however, the only person to hold a lead on Cloud in 2003 for a little bit IIRC.

Well, I can guarantee that 95%+ of the brackets are going to be perfect after this match. Link wins easily. No analysis needed.

<b>Moltar's Bracket Says:</b>Link will win.

<b>Moltar's Prediction is:</b> Link 87% - CATS 13%

<b>Dp's Analysis</b>

Well, CJayC himself said it best: "LinkFodder." CATS is only still around these contests because he's everyone's favorite joke entry. "Somebody Set Up Us The Bomb" and "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" are just some of GameFAQs' favorite catch phrases, made famous by Zero Wing. But all that hasn't been able to net him higher than a 61st place finish in the rankings. Last year he was CloudFodder, this year he is LinkFodder. Will he once again give an easy first round victory to the eventual champion? I'm hoping so.

<b>DpOblivion's Bracket says:</b> Link

<b>DpOblivion's Prediction is:</b> Link over CATS 89%-11%

<b>Ulti's Analysis</b>

So, are we supposed to take this match seriously? No? Good.

Because all of Link's vote are belong to CATS! Link has no chance to survive make his time!!1

<b> Ulti's Bracket/Prediction</b> - CATS/CATS with 85.14%

<b>Cena's Analysis</b>

I'm going to refrain from using any All Your Base quips here, since nothing I can say will

boost CATS to a win of any kind. Obviously, the Wind Waker craze is over, but with the

new Legend of Zelda game coming out soon enough, Link's popularity is once again on

the rise. Look for him to completely dominate the misunderstood Zero Wing villain.

<b>Cena's Vote:</b> Link

<b>Cena's Prediction:</b> Link with 89% (It'll be easy, but it's CATS we're talking about here)
