Is it ever a good idea to redesign the main character of a franchise?

Maybe if you're updating a design, to match with current graphics or otherwise. Sometimes it's even fine as long as the redesign makes sense and isn't trying so fucking hard (see 2016 Conker) to be hip and current. Personally I think 2000-2004 are fine designs.
I'd say some good examples are the Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles or, almost more of a re-stylization than anything else, the figures in Disney Infinity.
Sometimes
Maybe sometimes.

Don't do drugs, kids. Be responsible or you may end up like this poor sap.
Banjo and Kazooie's redesign is pretty good. The worlds and characters in Nuts and Bolts in general look good. It's a shame that the game wasn't what anyone was expecting. forcing Banjo Kazooie into the graveyard.

Sometimes, yes. People will bitch and complain for a while, but in the end people will bitch and complain about everything.

Only thing that bothers me about N&B Banjo designs are the squinty eyes. Reminds me of one of the nastier looking Dreamworks movies.

this is still the worst Link design, even CD-i Link is better.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the 2015 one. His design didn't get bad up until 2016 when they decided he should be part frog.
