I completely forgot Ralph even existed and now I want him in SSBB almost as much as Wolf. Man your good.

Wow. Thanks for the post (and the compliments
) . Anyone thought of a super move yet?

Anyways, I've got a few ideas for taunts (if the controller for Brawl is the same as a cube controller):

Hold B: Plays on the Harp of Ages, vanishes into thin air (kinda like when Y. Link takes the Master Sword off the pedestal).

Hold Y: Spins around wildly with his sword (remember the final credits
?) and falls over:

Hold X: Juggles the mystery seeds (I always knew he was a clown...):

Pretty much.

I once tried recreating Ralph on a friend's SC3, with Soul of Raphael, but he did not look right at all (no cape and pointy hat XD).

That's cool.

Yeah, like everyone's frozen and Ralph unleashes a time storm or something onto the battlefield. Any other ideas?

I really hope this guy can get into Brawl. Zelda needs some more representation.

Sorry for the double post (please don't lock this mods), but I updated his moveset on page two, if anyone's interested.

The first page is big enough already.

Nothing wrong with a long first post... Was there not enough room or is it that you just prefer as little conjestion as possible? I would suggest that the moveset be included on the first post as it might be missed otherwise.

As far as the idea itself (and I may have stated this before), I'm somewhat split on it. While I would love the Oracles series of LoZ to get some representation (and who better to do that than Ralph?), I also worry about the series itself being be overrepresented as there are many other franchises that I would like to be featured, namely the retro NES ones. D*** good choice otherwise...

I though I already posted here but I don't see it. Anyway, I really like Ralph. OoA was my first Zelda game (yeah, even before OoT) and I remember how cool Ralph was back there. You didn't see him very much, but when he came up I always got shivers. How I loved his tune...
Seeing him in Brawl would be nice yes. He is after Vaati (imo) the best choice for a new Zelda character. But I don't know, I don't think he'll make it in though due to the lack of popularity.

This has actualy been bumped?!

You'd be suprised. Mention Ralph in the right places and fangirls will faint like birds from the skies, apparantly :ohwell: .

Hey Sakurai, need a cool Metaknight clone? You're looking at him.

He seems like to minor of a character in the Legend of Zelda series. Of course Tingle is more well known than him, Tingle has been in at least 4 Zelda games.
Tingle is also a ******. He would make a horrible addition to the game. Yay Ralph. I like him.

Cool idea but I fear that he's just not significant enough to the series compared to other choices. Plus the game he's in was developed by Capcom.

Bump. Because I am bored.

I checked up on that, mkmelee. Yup, Capcom owns the rights to the game, but the characters themselves are owned by Nintendo (kinda like Golden Sun). I guess this is also some good news for Vaati people.

Anways, after watching the new trailer again, its hard not to notice similarities between Metaknight and Ralph. Perhaps if Metaknight is popular enough, Ralph could be a good clone. By 'clone', I mean sharing some basic attributes, combos, gliding (see trailer) etc, but having a different moveset.

I can't really see Ralph as a MK clone, save for his fencing moves/combos.

But yeah, Ralph is one of the top three additional Zelda candidates on my list as he's pretty much the only rival Link's had in the series - that's always a plus. Also, the Oracle series is one of my favorite Zelda offerings, so I would love for it to see some representation in SSBB. The only problem I have is a possible oversaturation of Zelda characters, but then again since Y. Link and Sheik are expected to leave, that probably won't be a problem...

This is really a brilliant idea for another LoZ character to be in Brawl. Ralph would be quite an interesting character to play as. Mad props.

Again, thanks for bumping this.

I'll try to update the main page with some more stuff when I get hold of it.

Ralph is strangely popular for someone with only one appearance. Google "Ralph Zelda", or do that on deviantart and see what comes up. Afterall...

Mario ---> Wario
Kirby ---> Metaknight
Link ---> Ralph?

Ralph?! An excellent idea! I think he's now offically my most-wanted LoZ character for Brawl! (Next to Vaati and The Old Man :p )

The reason why I like him as a character is the fact that he seems so exclusive, like so many other characters (i.e. Pit).

Shame, I wish Sakurai could do something like that. Just click his fingers, and well, yeah.

Its weird, this guy has never even been referenced by another Zelda game, even though he was pretty essential in OoA.

Oh yeah, seedshooter for brawl!

Seedshooter is uber pwnage. Use the gun and it'll shoot a random seed. You should be able to angle your shoot too. Yay!

But, I think Ralph is not gonna make it (however I still want him to). We have Tingle, Vaati and Midna now. Tingle and Vaati appeared in multiple games and Midna is essential in Twilight Princess. There's a dark cloud of sadness above Ralph :(.
EDIT: I forgot Skull Kid.

Dang. Thats far too many.

Yes, I like Midna too, but heck, Link's outnumbered enough as it is. *sigh* Ralph'll get what he deserves oneday (I wanna see that gun used again).

By the way, I honoured that people would rate this topic so highly. Thanks.

As an item? That's an awesome idea! Random seeds being shot out of it, one Fire Seed, one Mystery Seed, who KNOWS!!!

I updated the main page with a video from the start of the game.

Bit fast, but it is from a speed run.

How about we suggest to the guy who uploaded that video to make a proper opening of Oracle of Ages? Or a video with the scenes with Ralph in them? That's what I did.

Simply amazing! I had forgotten all about Ralph until I stumbled across this topic, and I agree it would be fun to see a different kind of sword fighting in Brawl. Good luck to him!

...Say, I know this sounds like a stupid question, but what are the chances of Ralph appearing in another Zelda game?

Ralph appearing in another Zelda game chance percentage: 0-1%
Ralph appearing in Brawl: slightly higher, but not by much.

He's one of my favorite characters and it's always been a small hope for me to see him in Brawl, but it's so unlikely that I try not to get my hopes up.

Needless to say, it'd be a pleasant surprise ^.^
