nobody's blaming FE, we're saying sakurai is bias towards FE, not the same thing
thats a bit of a logical fallacy, just cause FE gets new characters all the time does not mean they have to have a new character. also what say about zelda could also apply to the mario series, yet so far theres only been one smash game that didnt introduce at least 2 mario newcomers
These where my choices as well. Even if I would also be very happy with inclusions of Ganon (especially after the boss fight in World of Light) and a Champion from BotW, mainly Daruk or Urbosa.
The Legend of Zelda series has several amazing women. They’re strong, wise and courageous; all the more reason to love and admire them. 💚💙❤️ #InternationalWomensDay pic.twitter.com/x7dPJ39EtJ

Where the hell are Navi, Tatl and Ciela, you fairy-racist?
A lot of you guys were saying “where’s Zelda??” In our previous tweet. Of course we love the princesses, too! #InternationalWomensDay pic.twitter.com/EfDGhkjn7j

One Champion has to go... pick up the groceries.

Who is it going to be? pic.twitter.com/XbLlk7TrdV
I would choose Mipha to be gone out of them. I know she has a lot of fans, but she never really stuck with me that much. Her romance with Link also felt weird to me.
We’re not picking which champion has to be gone, we’re picking the one that has to pick up the groceries.
well mipha can heal herself so shed be most safe
OHHH WAIT WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?
i was wondering when you were gonna do that
not surprised. i look forward to getting it as well

So I was expecting BotW2 news with that tagline honestly lol
Zelda in general needs to expand it's mainstays outside of just Link, Zelda and Ganon(dorf) with the occasional Impa who's sometimes a badass ninja and sometimes an old fragile lady. If they could give Impa more story heavy roles as she had in Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword, I think it would cement her role for Smash Bros., quite easily so even. Just make her use the naginata as her main weapon, and give her other distinct abilities and she's good.
that is a stretch
That all may be true... but for me, I still think part of what is missing from Zelda in Smash, is the unique races. If Impa were given a huge role in BotW, and made it into Smash, I would still feel this way. Even the one off characters I listed- Midna, Vaati, Skull Kid... are just that, one off characters. The majesty of the world that is created in Hyrule is simply lost in Smash Bros. It's similar to the Fire Emblem problem- only significantly more heightened. The overall representation is not worth more than the individual pieces.
I disagree with that. There is no room in Smash for every aspect of a serie as large as Zelda. The playable characters spots are precious, so they should go to actual, important characters (looking at you, Piranha Plant!), either recurring or important to one game so that they represent this game. Skull Kid and Midna embody Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess far better than any goron or zora. That being said, I sign right now for a stage like Death Mountain or Zora Domain with members of theses species in the background. In the end this role would perfectly fit the one they have in the Zelda serie: extras, walk-on actors. Darunia/Daruk/Mipha/Ruto/Revali/Urbosa could also be assists, but those are not many, and it would be wierd to have one without the others.
I dont feel we should have random enemies from Zelda in Smash as playable characters. Yet, I do feel without these characters having a good role in Smash, the color of Hyrule is faded.
On the DK aspect, I totally follow you. Rambi should be an assist.
Maybe because Sakurai was playing a early build of Breath of the Wild and the Champions either didn't exist yet in game or he didn't have enough to go off of yet to make one of them a Assist Trophy in Ultimate. Yes, he added Breath of the Wild Link in but other characters in a early build of Breath of Wild like I said were either more underdeveloped at the point or did exist in game yet.
might i ask why you think that?
It may be the most unique Zelda element we could get, that is completely new to Smash.
I would choose Urbosa too. But really though, which Champion would they choose? I think they would go with the most popular like how they did with Min Min with Arms. Isn't Mipha the most popular Champion?
I imagine a lynel star quality is debatable. But the uniqueness cannot be denied
It would be a nice idea. I do hope the Lynels return as enemies in Zelda. They where awesome to fight in Breath of the Wild. A thrilling fight, every time. But I'd first wanna see them return to Zelda. Which is kinda likely with BotW2.
Maybe? Not too sure. Urbosa also has good popularity. And her ability is most offensively based. She's also the only true human of the Champions , outside of Link. Kind of makes it easier for her to work a moveset with. But personally, I'd think Daruk would be the most unique. There's a lot you could do with the big guy.
they were certainly tougher than in the oracles
It's weird the Sheikah didn't have a Champion. They're a important race in Zelda too so they deserve one.
Haven't played both Oracle games till the end. It's a shame. Don't have a pc anymore either to play it on emulator either.
Well yes, that's what I thought. Impa was still around with the Champions however , and texts in game also suggest she fought in the war of the Great Calamity. So she had fighting abilities , at some point before the beginning of the game. And we never even see her in cutscenes or whatever.
