Adding to Evgeny Levin's answer, you could also download the MvcContrib library and strongly type your ActionLinks like so

@Html.ActionLink<Controller>(x=>x.Action(), item.GetLink())

I prefer this method over magic strings, and then in my solution configurations I create a new one that mimics Debug but has the value for MvcBuildViews set to true, and then when you compile, if you have any invalid Links to controller/action pairs, it throws a compiler error. Has saved me many times of pushing out code that doesn't pass required Action parameters

@Html.ActionLink(item.GetLink(), "Action", "Controller")

(without @ character in first parameter, and swap action and controller)
