One of the things I really hated about Twilight Princess was how they took one of the most effectively tragic characters from Majora's Mask and reduced him to an irritating, "comic" boob. (This was also awfully incongruous with the more "realistic" approach they took to TP. Why both scrapping the cartoonish visuals if you're going to have your characters act like Looney Tunes anyway?)
Seriously. Do yourself a favor next time you play Majora's Mask, and spend as much time as you can with the postman. His emotions unravel beautifully as the moon gets closer, culminating in a complete mental collapse on day three. They did some dark things with that poor postman in MM, and I loved them for it.
Seeing him again in TP with his ridiculous vocalized "item get" sound effect upon mail delivery was akin to seeing Jack Nicholson again at the end of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...only without some big, empathetic Goron to put him out of his lobotomized misery.
Thank you for saying this. Majora's Mask has always been one of the most emotionally intriguing games ever, and the postman's story was particularly outstanding. I love Twilight Princess, but the bastardization of the postman character is a real shame.
As for other bad characters, I'd have to say Vaati. He's such an underdeveloped character (not to mention his uninspired, vampirical character design) that it was hard to truly care about his existance one way or another.
I know most people hate Tingle, but I must say I rather like him. I've always been drawn to weirdly pathetic characters

What are the worst characters in the history of Zelda games?
1. Tingle- he's weird and greedy. What more is there to say? 2. Ruto- she's a spoiled brat. 3. Medli- she can only master common sense through the help of Link. She's almost useless. 4. The Owl- although simply adding to the plot, his dialogue is a dad lengthy. 5. Navi, Tatl, etc- the only annoyances are their interrupting you to tell you the obvious. Otherwise, they're just trying to help.
Wow, this is a list of my favourite Zelda characters.

I thought the postmen were great in both games. But then again, I'm able to maintain a logical separation between the worlds of Hyrule and Termina.
