Who is He?
Zant is the secondary antagonist of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii. He is the character who dethrones Midna as the ruler of the Twilight Realm and takes the position for himself, turning Midna into an imp in the process. He attempts to corrupt Hyrule with twilight with the help of powers he had gained from Ganondorf but is eventually defeated by Link and Midna. Zant also appears as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, in which he is helps Cia protect the gate of souls, but when she is defeated, he works alongside Ghirahim under Ganondorf's orders.Why Should Zant Join the Roster?
While he doesn't have a huge reason why he should join, Zant would still add some uniqueness to the roster. He uses dark magic to fight as well as dual scimitars that he uses as melee weapons. Zant can create portals, summon dark beasts and shoot magic projectiles. He is also an agile fighter, as he can float though the air, as well as spin around with ease. Another reason why Zant should join is because he is a villain, something that the Smash Bros. series is lacks. Realistically Speaking, What are Zant's chances?
Zant's chances of making it as DLC for Smash Bros. 4 is not very high, mainly because there are many other Zelda characters that people would rather see, including Impa, Midna and Ghrahim. However, there is still a chance he can make it in. Even if he misses is chance now, there is always a possibility he can return in a future installment as a playable character or assists trophy at best, but there's no telling what will happen. It all depends if Sakurai sees potential in him.Possible Moveset
