Link fits better than the other two because he actually uses a sword and sheild, much like the other fighters in the game. Heihachi uses only his fists (kind of odd in a weapon-based fighting game), and Spawn uses an axe thats made out of his cape (come on now...). True, Link doesn't exactly mesh well with the game, but compared to his other console-only counterparts, he fits the best. It'd be kind of the same thing if, I dunno, you could unlock Captain Falcon in a NASCAR game or unlock Samus' Starship in a space fighter. It doesn't need to add to continuity or even make the slightest sense, but if it at least somewhat fits with what is going on around it, it can work. Same deal with Little Mac in Fight Night.
That's why I was so skeptical about Mario and gang being in that NBA game. They're so out of place, but I eat my words now having seen the sales figures. I still won't be going out to buy it, though.
