A slight correction, he paid zero fee. The 0.5 bitcoin is change, that he got back.

You can see the fee amount further down the page. If he had paid a fee, 0.0001 BTC, or $0.04 worth of BTC, would have been enough to ensure the transaction was included in the next block.

Isn't it quite possible that the 0.5 BTC is the actual transfer, and the other 194993 BTC is the change?

Yes, but that makes for a very uninteresting story

I'm not sure why he would use that many inputs to transfer 0.5 Btc.

You're right, I misread it. Even better though.
