I have it. It's got lots of articulation, and it looks great, but it's really a delicate figure imo. I broke the sword handle the very first time I tried to put the sword in his hand. It's cool to have multiple sets of hands and the two faces and he's good for any pose you want to do. Overall, it was a little pricey for the durability but I'm glad I have it. I just picked up the Jakks Link and for $8 I don't have too many complaints on that one either.
Depending how driven you are about it, you may just want to wait and see what Jakks puts out over the next year or two. The Figma figure probably isn't going anywhere in terms of availability. I'm hoping for either or both an Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess version from Jakks personally. If you have no issue with the price then go for the Figma figure, but just handle with care is my only advice on it.

I have it and agree with punksnotdead, it is a great figure but rather delicate. Luckily I'd read online about the sword breaking easily so before putting mine in his hand I heated the hand up to make it flexible, which worked great - although I did accidently dislodge one side of the wrist peg and can't get it back in...
I also think the figure is a good size, fits in well with my the rest of my (mostly 6") collection. Unlike the Figma Samus figure which, although it looks great, is far too small really.
It's without a doubt the best Link figure available. I'm really hoping Jakks will get their act together and make a 6-inch scale Link To The Past style Link and both Ocarina Of Time style Links (young & adult) as well. But I'm not getting my hopes up. Being Jakks it wouldn't surprise me if they never make either or just make them in cheap, crappy quality 4-inch.

Did you guys remove the knob at the end of the hilt before sliding it into his hand?
It's great figure. The plastic feels nice, smooth moving joints, crisp painting, etc.

If you have the money ..a big yes. I have two one open and one still in package. My favorite figure in my whole collection. Although my nendoroid toon link is up there too lol.
