Character Discussion Thread

[DraginHikari]

She does seem a bit out of place given the usual aesthetic of Zelda series, but if Nintendo is going to allow 3rd parties to work with their franchises that is to be expected.

 

[Curious Villager]

Here she is and this literally screams "Team Ninja!".

Heh, she kinda reminds me of the The Great Witch from Professor Layton vs Poenix Wrigh, except.... more "Team Ninja'd" lets say....

 

[FalKoopa]

Shia is our next Tharja, people.

She might have a chance if she makes it into one of the mainstream Zelda titles though. Or she's all but set to be Zelda's Geno.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Something tells me that people will want Shia in Smash after seeing her "controversial" appearance. Either way, it won't happen since she's too new and she was most likely made by Team Ninja instead of Nintendo EAD.

What happened to Ravio and Yuga?

 

[AEMehr]

Ha, I thought she looked familiar. That connection didn't come to mind.

At this point, I feel that the Zelda newcomer (if we did get one) would have to be Impa, Ganon, or Tingle.
I'd bet on Ganon though, since we already have two Links and two Zeldas. But it is nice to see Impa moving up in the Zelda character chain by now being playable (even if it's a spinoff title).

What happened to Ravio and Yuga?

People stopped supporting them after realizing how irrelevant they are.

 

[Curious Villager]

Yeah it's the first thing I thought of when I saw her.

Spoiler

At least the headgear kinda looks similar...

 

[Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur]

Did anybody else imagine the Honest Trailers guy saying "Starring... Bewbs" when they first saw this?
Oh, Team Ninja. The real world must be such a dull place for you.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Oh, Team Ninja. The real world must be such a dull place for you.

The real world is actually much more interesting than Team Ninja's world, because it has a far greater variety of female body types.

 

[God Robert's Cousin]

Frankly, I'm just waiting for Team Ninja to play a big part in the game's writing, we end up with a monologuing once-silent protagonist, and everyone shuns the game for being too different from the franchise's predecessors. If anything, Shia will end up as a lesser Anthony Higgs/Yuga hybrid.

Now I'm just waiting for the fanart of Anthony X Yuga holding their newborn baby Shia to solidify this claim.

So basically; you want Link to be an emotional teenager hesitant to go on his quest, he has to balance his life and the fate of others... he has to leave his girlfriend behind, but he doesn't want to do it because he is conflicted? Self-conscious Link, "Am I really a hero, do I deserve the Triforce of Courage?" The story of how he matures into a responsible adult and regrets decisions from his childhood?

I would support. #GiveLinkFEELINGS

Agreed.
(I hope it's obvious that I was using sarcasm to take a dig at Team Ninja's boobsession, and not making some kind of sexist remark.)

 

[Substitution]

Look, as long as they don't make Link either a boring plank of wood or an obnoxious dirtbag. I'm fine.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

If Team Ninja ever got ahold of Zelda (the character)... *shudders*

 

[Morbi]

Isn't Link basically a plank of wood though? I mean, he doesn't have much personality. Toon Link is the exception.

 

[DraginHikari]

Would be more or less the result of any random Zelda fanart on Tumblr or Deviantart withe the mature filter turned off.

The Baby Octorock!

Will be kinda interested to see Zelda I guess...

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Just make Shia a trophy to represent Hyrule Warrios and call it a day.

 

[Substitution]

To be fair, just because someone doesn't speak =/= no personality. Look at Gordon Freeman.
I mean in the "boring non-interesting just as interesting as paint drying might as well be silent" sense.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

So where did Aonuma say that Hyrule Warriors has a huge roster?

 

[Maxilian]

What happened to Ravio and Yuga?

Not many people liked Yuga , Ravio in the other hand... he was kind of irrelevant , i hope we get him as a AT

Well this is exciting. I could see Ghirahim being playable. Or Nabbit with a golf club.

Diddy Kong got his wish...

 

[Autumn ♫]

While I'm not keeping my hopes up for playable villains (although I'd like to see it) I'd love to see Vaati become at least a boss.

Pink Gold Zelda will get in over Vaati

Or the game could pick up several years after where Majora's Mask left off, and Link could spend the entire game talking about his great regret at not being able to save the Deku Butler's son, Darmani, and Mikau, and how it haunted him that he had worn their souls on his face in order to use their powers, and even though that had given him the strength to save Termina, he would ponder endlessly, through monologues, what it had cost.
He could also have a full arsenal of great weapons and items, but refuse to use them at key moments until Zelda telepathically gave him permission.
Near the end of the game, and after much not-so-subtle foreshadowing, Ganon would reveal himself to be the third and final stage of evolution of a mysterious Pokémon creature that had made appearances throughout the game, and players would be treated to a five-minute cut scene in which Link has a panic attack, rendering him defenseless while Ganon mercilessly beats him, nearly killing him, until a side character sacrifices himself to save Link, providing him with the motivation he needs to fight back. At this point the scene would end and the game would resume.

Also, the entire game would take place in a single castle, with such diverse and interesting magically simulated environments as Jungle World, Ice World, Fire World, Desert World, and Dark Corridor with Flickering Lights World.

Lets hope Team Ninja learns from their mistakes...

Actually... i really hope to see him as a playbale character but also... i have my doubs, mostly because the graphics they are using... BTW what other Zelda characters you think would be playable? they said that there are many playable characters, who do you think we will be able to use?

Link
Impa
Zelda (most likely)

who else?

Kaepora Gaebora and Malon... in a perfect world.

Masked Link would be the best though, my dream would finally come into fruition.

Don't be giving Nintendo any ideas there. Pink Gold Peach is ridiculous enough as it is.

How about Morshu instead? You want it? It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough rubies.

 

[False Sense]

How about the next newcomer be Pink Gold Wii Fit Trainer?

Pink Gold Wii Fit Trainer doesn't exist, sadly. Pink Gold Peach is actually relevant though; Mario Kart 8 is Nintendo's definitive console-seller, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her as a Smash newcomer reveal.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach's children would look weird as hell if you think about it.

Who's to say they can't invent Pink Gold Wii Fit Trainer just for Smash? Pink Gold Peach didn't exist prior to Mario Kart 8 either.

Let's not discuss this any further.

Metal Mario would piss me more than her.

Because Pink Gold Wii Fit Trainer would not have originated from a video-game.

Don't get me wrong. Pink Gold Wii Fit Trainer is likely, but she isn't shoe-in.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Hey guys...

You know Team Ninja had nothing to do with Other M's story right?

That was all Sakamoto.

 

[Maxilian]

Oh... now i can't stop imagining Kaepora with a sword in his legs and breathing fire

Shadow or Dark Link maybe?

Wolf Link?

Midna?
