Don't tell the Shantae thread.
But that's how I got my first copies of Risky's Revenge & Pirate's Curse.
Edit: Anyone wanna share their Hyrule Warriors 3DS wants?
Linkle (Fem Link) & FINALLY LET SARIA BACK IN.
After that... Malon as a joke like Tingle.
Then I'd be pure joy
I don't want Linkle as a separate character. I'd rather have the concept be giving to a different character like, say, Aryll.
Otherwise, I just want Saria in any way, shape, or form. Preferably with a slightly redesigned outfit (with her original simple outfit as a skin). I love Saria. :D My favorite moveset idea is using the Ocarina to call upon nature attacks, just singing Saria's Song for her base combo, then other songs (probably water-related) to amplify her nature powers.
For other characters, Groose for his fans, and Vaati for a new villain. Maybe even Skull Kid, too. Groose I have difficult time coming up with concepts for, but, frick, they have Daphnes transform into the King of Red Lions for some of his attacks. They could give Groose a portable Groosenator.
Oh, as for HW 3DS, there will probably be a third character in at least. The roster selection is awkward because two characters don't fit well on the roster alone; that's why they tend to come in threes as their are three columns. That said, I think its very likely we could see up to 4 more characters through additional DLC packs, or just a general expansion pack on Wii U (I'd much prefer this). Get a full expansion with new Story segments, new enemies, new stages and materials, etc., and make the new characters require new materials, so you can't just grind the existing ones.
Tetra, Daphnes, and any other newly added characters should drop new materials, and Tingle should drop new materials as well.
On that note, I should comment: I'm pretty sure Tingle is default on 3DS. Either Young Link and Twili Midna are available as well, or they are downloadable separately. Because Tetra and Daphnes are able to be ported to Wii U, there still needs to be at least one more, but I doubt they'd stop at just one at this rate.
Character-wise, I can see Saria, Groose, and Vaati as being likely. Other possibilities include Malon (I like the idea of her using a whip and being on horseback), Nabooru (if she doesn't use Katanas, then an Axe, a weapon she actually DOES use in Ocarina of Time; I think its highly likely Ganondorf could get Katanas as an extra weapon), or Twinrova (iffy; they'd be great additions, but need to be shrunk down greatly to work). Vaati is the only non-3D character I think would be added at this point, but who knows, they might consider others.
