So let's talk Zelda villains. In the unlikely case we get another Zelda rep, who would you want? Please also try to include some reasoning.

Ganon.

I consider Dorf and Classic Ganon two different beasts. (heh) Either way, this guy is missing because of his design alone. I think it's a glaring omission that he's not in. Furthermore, classic Zelda needs SOME sort of representation beyond a Melee stage (Temple), and with ALBW putting the series back on the radar...why not?

Ghirahim!

if we don't get Ghirahim at least Vaati

 

[Pazzo.]

Ghirahim? Maybe..

Vaati? I'd say he may go the route of Skull Kid.

 

[*The Sensus Crustulum*]

Despite being a one time villain, I would like to see how Ghirahim translates into Smash.
Unlike everyone else, I don't really want another Zelda rep, would just be an extra for me.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Pushmo World revealed for Wii U, speculation ensues.

Maybe he'll be an AT.

 

[Pazzo.]

Maybe he'll be an AT.

Considering how popular Pushmo was, I'd say that's a fair guess.

Ghirahim. Popular character from Skyward Sword, which Nintendo is evidently still interested in promoting from time to time (and was also revolutionary for the franchise)

He may appear as a character in Hyrule Warriors, giving him an edge over his competitors as Hyrule Warriors is one of Nintendo's biggest upcoming games right now.

He has a lot to work with for a moveset as well. He throws knives telekinetically, he wields dual scimitars, he can warp instantaneously, he can conjure monsters, he can transform...

 

[Bowserlick]

People do say Ghirahim is a one shot character.

I believe he can make another Zelda appearance, albeit in another form.

Palutena was fleshed out for Kid Icarus: Uprising. Yet, Sakurai said he would not expect a sequel. Yet Palutena's chances look pretty solid for this Smash.

If you want a character to be popular in the future, just stick them in Smash. Problem solved.

We don't really know if he will be a one time villain, though. He may appear in Hyrule Warriors or in the Wii U Zelda title or in any other future Zelda game.

If Vaati gets to be playable instead of Ghirahim and Skull Kid (who was already deconfirmed), I will be disappointed. Vaati is such a boring and uninteresting villain, even more so when compared to Ghirahim and Skull Kid. Plus, unlike these two, Vaati wasn't the villain in a mainline game, only in the random side ones, like Minish Cap. Assist Trophy or even just a simple Trophy would be more than enough for him.

 

[Zzuxon]

New Zelda Reps?
Tingle or bust.

The difference between Ghirahim & Zelda and Palutena & Kid Icarus Uprising is this:
Palutena is the main character of a niche, recently revived series.

Ghirahim is a one-off villain in an established and universally popular series.

 

[Maxilian]

These's why some people get killed!



Oks, now O.T: Tingle is really popular in Japan but... he's hated a lot in the west, so i don't think we will have him, is most likely that Nintendo will go with a more "safe" option

Palutena is one of the main characters. An adviser to the playable character.

Ghirahim is possibly an integral part of the Zelda mythos. He was part of the title that starts the established and universally popular series.

I still think that Palutena is in (picture rumor looks real to me) and that Ghirahim has a long uphill battle.

 

[DustyPumpkin]

I want the Chandelier Dragon from Golden Sun in somehow.
It's a Chandelier AND A DRAGON

 

[Spinosaurus]

I don't really think importance in lore mean much in this case, especially if the Zelda franchise didn't need the character prior to SS. (and after it I bet.)

But then, Zelda's lore is some bull.

Every gaming lore is some bull.

 

[Autumn ♫]

Vaati, obviously.

He's got the moveset potential, and he's a pretty interesting as a villain. He's also the 2nd most reoccuring villain, only behind Ganon(dorf), and he could give Toon Link a villain and could represent the handheld games.

That, and he's my most wanted newcomer.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Except for, well, you know...

Who's Vaati, again?

 

[Autumn ♫]

This guy

 

[Fablemad]

This guy

Vaati's the man! He's been the villain in 3 Zelda games, therefore he deserves his spot. I would also like Girahim a lot!

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Pig Ganon.

Courage has Link and Toon Link.

Wisdom has Zelda and Shiek.

Power has Ganondorf, but no secondary Power representative.

Pig Ganon would not only represent Classic Zelda, but would bring a trident wielder to the roster. The only other potential polearm fighter with a shot at Smash is Bandana Dee.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Plus Dorf's and Ganon's designs are vastly different that you can easily differentiate them.

Really, they only share the name.

 

[Bowserlick]

I do like how the pattern would be complete. I would not mind Ganon.

 

[Curious Villager]

Wait.. since when was Minish Cap a "side Zelda?" Last I checked, it's a part of the official Zelda timeline.... :/

Eh anyway, I'd mostly want Ganon as well.

 

[Maxilian]

Pig Ganon.

Courage has Link and Toon Link.

Wisdom has Zelda and Shiek.

Power has Ganondorf, but no secondary Power representative.

I would be OK with Ganon just because he will complete the 2 of each character (2 Zeldas- Zelda & Sheik-, 2 Links - Link & Toon Link- and only 1 Ganondorf)

But still.... GHIRAHIM IS BETTER!

Pig Ganon would not only represent Classic Zelda, but would bring a trident wielder to the roster. The only other potential polearm fighter with a shot at Smash is Bandana Dee.

Fire Emblem

 

[Spinosaurus]

It's not really developed by Nintendo (it was outsourced) nor was it directed by Anouma.

Anouma didn't direct Skyward Sword either though, so eh.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

Plus Dorf's and Ganon's designs are vastly different that you can easily differentiate them.

Really, they only share the name.

The ONLY problem I found with Ganon is that I can't think of any Final Smashes for neither Ganon nor Ganondorf. Ganondorf's previous Final Smash was turning into his ultimate form, so how could Ganon have an even more ultimate attack? And without transformations, what could Ganondorf do?

Fire Emblem

Well, I haven't played Fire Emblem yet (It's on my queue, I swear) but are there any significant enough characters that wield a polearm as his/her primary weapon of choice?

Ganondorf's Final Smash could involve that semi final part of the final battle in Twilight Princess, where he was on horseback and summoned those spirit things.

Ganon, I agree I'm not sure though as he wasn't really ever given any "ultimate attack" in the Zelda series as far as I know. If worst comes to worse, I guess he could always summon his minions to attack or do something with the Triforce of Power.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Maybe take cues from ALBW where "he" absorbed the Triforce of Wisdom (iirc) and transformed.

 

[Bowserlick]

Ganondorf could gain a mount (a black horse or boar with burning hot hooves) and a fire sword and be able to dash and jump and slash his opponents at alarming speeds.

Ganon could start dissolving away parts of the stage, leaving only one small area for the scrambling players.

The Links have a kind of generic final smash. If it comes to that, whatever. I don't think many people would mind if Ganon was playable.

Merchant Anna. Who, as a boss, is the character with the highest stat total of any character in any Fire Emblem game ever.

It's not unreasonable for her to use swords and whatnot as well, though, because other Annas have been shown to, and she even has some in her bag.

Well when Ganondorf use his ultimate he could fly and start trowing balls of magic, like OoT

and Ganon could replace his spears for 2 swords in his ultimate to make fast and deadly attacks

or he could throw a big group of fire bats to the people around him

 

[Sobreviviente]

Dont forget this guy!!! he is awesome.

Horse...

Link represents the modern, more realistic Zeldas.

Toon Link represents the Toon games.

Zelda represents a little from realism, a little from the Toon.

Shiek represents the early 3D Zeldas.

Unless we get this Link, Ganon is the only possible rep for the original Classic games.

 

[Will]

I personally don't think this game will get a new Zelda rep,but if I had to choose one...

Definetely Ganon.

 

[Sobreviviente]

Yes is more likely, but i preffer his original and badass classic design (and people will hates the idea even more if is just realistic TL).
Also, melee's YL didnt use pants

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Another Zelda discussion? I'm warming up to Ganon more since Falcondorf needs a better Final Smash anyway that doesn't involve a transformation. A horseback Final Smash would do well since that was the best part of his Twilight Princess boss fights. About Pig Ganon, The Link to the Past version will always be the best version due to his design and abilities alone.

 

[EmceeEspio]

I'm still hoping for Vaati.

Or on a non Villain note, Tetra or Tingle.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Personally, I think the only Zelda newcomer I'd be ok with is either Toon Zelda or Tetra
