Didn't you look at any of ign's screen shots? ... That's weird. They took those down for some reason. Well anyhow, here's what they said about Link:

On GameCube, the exclusive character is, as IGNcube previously reported, Nintendo's own Link from the famous Legend of Zelda series. The first screenshots show him using the spin attack, upward and downward jabs, in addition to a number of other signature moves -- even his bow! So, it seems he may have all his own unique moves, which is very good news.

As for Spawn, I really don't know much about him, I mean, at all. That goes to most people. Fans may have qualms over him for some reason, like yours, but for the most part I do believe they HAD to keep him in his most recognizable costume. I figured time travel had to be possible for him to even have a middle ages form anyway, since what little I do know about him is that he was a modern era soldier or something who died in a fire, thus preventing him from having lived in that time save for some time travel gimic. Anyway, this is a fictional world anyway, so why can't he be wearing whatever he wants? He, Link, and the Tekken fellow don't even belong in the story. That's especially true for Link, who lives in a fictional world that isn't even supposed to resemble Earth.

I stopped reading Spawn comics a few years ago, but I still know a lot about him. They had the perfect opportunity to use medieval Spawn in SC II, but instead they use the modern-day Spawn who looks out of place in the game. Link actually looks like he could live in that time period. Here's a picture of medieval Spawn:




You see? He still looks a lot like modern-day Spawn, but more fitting for something like Soul Calibur.
