I feel like the only Zelda characters we should be looking at are Tingle, TZelda, Tetra, and I SUPPOSE Ghirahim

INB4 what happened with Mario and Pokemon: one of the ones we don't look at will be chosen anyways.


like ****ing Ravio or sumthin

I know Japan likes him, but I've heard that they aren't quite so optimistic with him being playable in Smash, however I could be completely wrong about this.

Wherever they might land on his chances, he's still the most requested from the series.

As for him being the only Zelda character with a sub-series, wouldn't that just count for him being a spin-off character like Yoshi and Wario?

He could be either I suppose, I'm just saying having a sub-series is a big deal... Yoshi and Wario are big deals in the Marioverse.

As for the Assist Trophy Massacre, I think that Majora not using the moon as part of his attack and the return of Melee stages could mean that Termina Bay will return.

That is just speculation though. And it's not like a stage couldn't be tweaked for the sake of a character... I'm sure Alfonzo wouldn't mind Tingle leaving floating around to him while he joins the fight.

As for the remake, I'll let that pass, since I use it for Vaati all the time.

Vaati hasn't been in any remakes, Vaati was in a glorified re-release.

Also, doesn't Zelda not sell quite so well in Japan, but better in the rest of the world? Wouldn't it make more since to add a character the West doesn't dislike?

You'd think that, but then why did they choose to remake the Zelda title that appealed to Japan the most? Zelda isn't at Metroid or Punch-Out levels of bias, Japan still likes the Zeldas Tingle hails from. If there was another Zelda character who had all Tingle has in his favour, but was adored by all regions, sure, by all means include him over Tingle... but there isn't.

Actually, we haven't seen a DK AT yet. I wonder what's up with that?

I don't think Zelda has a Rosalina though. People don't show up over and over again much. But her choice was rather left field, but she was still on the radar I suppose.

And idk about you but I was saying Gren/Braix/Ches this entire time. I just didn't expect Greninja solo

Actually, we haven't seen a DK AT yet. I wonder what's up with that?

I bet it's going to be Cranky

 

[Zhadgon]

I want Kaepora Gaebora =p

-video removed-

Kaepora Gaebora VS Mr Resetti VS Cranky Kong VS Fawful.
Whoever wins, we lose our sanity.

Edited.

.n_n.

Would be an awesome choice.

We didn't have one in Brawl either.

 

[Shorts]

Would be an awesome choice.

If Dixie didn't make it in, I could see her using her hair to throw barrels or something. IDK what Cranky would do.

I feel like we won't be getting a third Zelda.

 

[False Sense]

Out of curiosity, why is it that Tetra isn't brought up that much as a possibility? She's important, relevant, fairly popular as a character, and being a pirate offers up some unique possibilities for a move set.

This is a good point.

Rosalina got in. She was promoted, but comparatively, she wasn't nearly as prominent. Besides, she got in because of Super Mario Galaxy, in my opinion.

 

[N3ON]

If Midna had showed up in another game she could've been seen as Zelda's Rosalina imo.

 

[TylerBlackRunIt]

What is the possibility that Snake will return?

I've seen Tetra being brought up a lot actually.

I personally feel Ganon is the more under suggested Zelda newcomer, but that's just me really. :/

 

[N3ON]

What is the possibility that Snake will return?

He's only taking a long time to show up so he can finally use "Kept you waiting, huh?" in a proper context.

 

[Curious Villager]

What is the possibility that Snake will return?

I'm not sure, I don't even know what to think of him at this point of time. I'd love to see him back, but something tells me he will probably not... Guess I'll have to wait for E3 at least... :/

And like N3ON, said they will probably make him pull a "Kept ya waiting, huh?" line by then.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

What is the possibility that Snake will return?

I have no idea.

 

[AncientTobacco]

Probably because she appeared in one game and will never appear again.

1%

 

[Curious Villager]

Two and a few cameo's and mentions in one to be precise. (And a remake too depending on its timing) They might pull a Sheik with her, or Sheik may have just been lucky since she has carried seniority for so long... :/

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

I honestly think he's gone

...You mean she appeared in two games, was referenced frequently in a third, and reappeared in a remake of her debut game, which was very well received. She also had her own minigame in another installment.

You sure you aren't talking about Ghirahim/Midna/Skull Kid?

I have no idea how I forgot Phantom Hourglass.

 

[FlareHabanero]

We should have a new Zelda character because reasons and we need to match up with the Mario and Pokemon series.

TOON TOON LINK IS BEST DIGIMON SHUT UP.

Skull Kid: Appeared in four games.

Midna: Appeared in one game.

Ghirahim: Appeared in one game.

Tetra: Appeared in four games.

Vaati: Appeared in three games.

Twinrova: Appeared in four games.

I know you didn't ask for this, I just wanted to add to it.

 

[Autumn ♫]

W
Vaati hasn't been in any remakes, Vaati was in a glorified re-release.

Isn't a remake a glorified re-release though? I don't see the difference.

That's exactly the mentally Sakurai must have had when he planned Toon Zelda and Toon Sheik in Brawl!

Prepare yourself!

 

[Arcanir]

According to Chronobound's old topic, it's actually Ghirahim, Tingle doesn't get as many.

Having said that, that was some time ago so there could be some changes now.

Tingle certainly isn't nearly as requested by the US.

Because you needed me to tell you that.

 

[BKupa666]

Why are we advocating for Sixth Zelda Rep? Didn't you all know that if any series has a single slot more than Mario, puppies die?!?!

 

[False Sense]

Skull Kid: Appeared in four games.

Midna: Appeared in one game.

Ghirahim: Appeared in one game.

Tetra: Appeared in four games.

Vaati: Appeared in three games.

I know you didn't ask for this, I just wanted to add to it.

Four games? Which ones are you referring to? And what Skull Kid are you referring to? I think the one people have in mind when thinking of that is the one from Majora's Mask, and he only really appeared in two games (I guess that's debatable, though), as far as I was aware.

@ BKupa666

I don't think it's puppies that die. I think it's cats. Big, purple, mutated, psychic cats.

 

[N3ON]

You're right, but one is much more glorified than the other, to the extent that remakes usually get much more attention from Nintendo, and treated almost as if they're a new game, which in turn would likely give content from that remake better odds of getting some spotlight over a fixed-up version of the original.

Basically it comes down to how Nintendo treats them, and remakes tend to get a lot more love than re-releases.

It doesn't matter whether or not they are the same version. It's still the same character with the same name.

They are

Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess.

I counted remakes as individual games.

Considering those ****ing puppies pee all over the carpets, GOOD.

I guess Bowser Jr is also back in the running.


or all 7 koopalings. whichever comes first.

No one has as many as the Mario franchise.

Now, Super Mario, yes. But Mario overall, no.

Four Swords anniversary was a pretty big overhaul with single player and all.
But I agree with you Remakes get a lot more attention from Nintendo and the gaming community.

I don't know, seeing how Jr.'s been left out of Mario Kart and other recent Mario, his chances have dropped quite a bit since the last time we've thought of a new one.

 

[Kenith]

I vouch for Paper Mario for sixth Mario character.

Game & Watch needs someone to relate to.

 

[N3ON]

According to Chronobound's old topic, it's actually Ghirahim, Tingle doesn't get as many.

Having said that, that was some time ago so there could be some changes now.

It was Ghirahim during the period Chrono was looking, which was at the peak of his popularity. If it cooled off quickly here, imagine how fast it did over where SS wasn't even super popular...

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I've said this a lot in multiple threads but i hope that no existing IP gets another rep.
I'm hoping that un-represented IP's characters get in.
These are my most wanted characters:
Takamaru
Isaac
Shulk
Wonder-Red
None of these have been represented before and they can all be incredibly unique and add a new feel to Smash.
Yes, yes I know characters like Tingle can also be incredibly unique but the Zelda IP and Mario IP or (characters related to them) are about to reach IMO over representation.
