Basically it's giving an error because there is no method overload that has the signature you want.

The closest signature to the one that you need is

public static string ActionLink(
this HtmlHelper htmlHelper,
string linkText,
string actionName,
string controllerName,
Object routeValues,
Object htmlAttributes

)

You are passing the id attribute into the routevalue which is why it's giving you the funny href. pass null into the routevalue, then add your htmlattributes
