Sheik
Sheik is not likely to be going anywhere. Despite what Diddy says, Impa replacing Zelda is just a possibility. There's really no reason Sakurai has to do it, nothing that justifies giving Sheik a 30% rating. Sakurai is content to have some inertia in the characters. If he cared as much as Diddy seems to think he does about relevance and representing the character the way he thinks they should be, Ganondorf would've been decloned in Brawl. Ness and Lucas would have special moves that represent them, not Paula and Kumatora. Toon Link would've used, at the very least, the Grappling Hook (cuz you use that thing like all the time in Wind Waker). etc.
I think Skyward Sword Impa was cool, and separating Zelda/Sheik into Zelda and Impa would not bother me, since I do generally just play as one or the other, and because they'd get down-B moves. I wouldn't care if Impa was mostly just a Sheik clone. Why would that matter? Sheik's moveset was pretty much just made up by Sakurai anyway, so applying the same made up Sheikah moveset to Impa is not really an insult to her. Sure, Impa would need a new final smash and could get some modifications, but heavily borrowing from Sheik would make the most sense.
Anyway, Impa's not that popular or well-known, Skyward Sword sold only about a third as much as Twilight Princess did, and cutting Sheik would bother plenty of people and keeping Sheik would be easy to do. End result: Sheik is most likely staying.
Sheik chances: 98.3%
Sheik want: 99%
Overall I want (Sheik or Impa) 100% but it doesn't matter a whole lot to me which we get.
Toon Zelda/Tetra:
Toon Link's reveal has boosted her chances since her getting in was basically contingent on Toon Link getting in. How much has it boosted her chances? Well, not a huge amount. No Zelda newcomer is more likely than not, IMO, but among the possibilities Tetra is probably the front runner since she got pretty far in the process in Brawl.
Toon Zelda/Tetra chances: 24%
Boosted from 20%, that's not an insignificant bump.
Tetra want: 76%
Replaying the Wind Waker (in HD) has slightly increased my want for Tetra.
Victini prediction: 1.5%
As a Pokeball Pokemon, sure. I don't think people think she's terribly likely otherwise though.
