I know what you mean. I totally treated Zelda/Sheik like a throwaway character back in the days of Melee but now, her Din's Fire/Nayru's Love anti-range/anti-melee combo seems much more feasible than Link's high risk dumb-fire projectiles and hack n slash melee skills. Now I find that Link's not quite the versatile warrior he was in Melee, and I also find myself going outside of the Hyrulean set to use heavy characters like Ike. I actually managed to win 5 tough wifi matches in a row with Ike (against Sheik, Zelda, Yoshi, and others) yesterday. Ike is EXTREME TO THE MAX (X-Play reference. If you don't get it, call a doctor, because you've got an advanced case of noobliness).
