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 ^.^
I'd thought I'd get that sort of response.

Still, we can only hope.

SWEET Character Set Up! Nintendo shoudl hire you 2 think of characters 4 Brawl! NJK!

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!
Exellent setup, moves, & character! You convinced me that will work! I felt Melee was lacking swordman, and you got a great one! Now we are due for at least 5, maybe even as many as 10 swordsman! We definitly need more sword-wield characters, & Pit & MK delivered! Now we went from begging for sword-wielding characters, to asking for certain sword-wielding styles, which need to be as diverse, cool, and hopefully original as possible!

As far as charaters go, you never know, it Sakurai! Also consider, Miyamoto's helping Sakurai a lot in the making of Brawl! He also MADE the legend of zelda series, & almost all the Melee characters, whci adds more, chances 4 unordinary ideas, & exellent characters!

Recently, doesn't it seem DK fans are mad because DK got only one spot, while LOZ got 5spots? Despite that, LOZ is one of the most popular series done by Nintendo, contending with Mario. I also heard from a good source it's the #7 selling series of all time! I can see Brawl having 2 new LOZ characters, easily, & I hope someone working on Brawl looks at your ideas & at least considers it! DK needs 3 or 4 new characters (Dixie, Diddy, K Rool, DK Jr.)!

This is probably the best character idea/move setup I've seen yet, easily! I want that LOZ charcter, only behind Ganondorf (with sword, and give old moveset to a F-Zero character), Wolf Link w/t Midna, Then Ralph, with your sick setup! Followed by Zant (wonder how he would work) Ganon (crazy TP version), Young Zelda/Tetra, Vatti, and Aghamin.

Can you make a moveset for a new YLink (cel-shaded), or show us a possibily how Pickery Sword Link would work? You got any other great ideas like this man, I wanna hear them! Still it doesn't take owning or knowing OoA or OoS to know a good character idea when I see one! Great job, and I hope you can considering making more originals! Keep it up!:)

I'd like to see him! Though the Zelda's spots are restricted, He would definitely appear in a Smash-Zelda Game!
A LEgend of Zelda fighting game! YEAH! That would so totally rock! All sorts of characters would appear in a game like that!

In fact... I'm going to make a thread about that!

...Later. Not right now, though.

I'm working on it.

Honestly most of your praise shoudl go to the other people who made the B moves, but I'm thinking of a YLink one as I speak (write). I might try my hand at Maple soon as well.

I'm sure IGN once wrote that they wanted a Zelda fighting game too.

RAlph would own, as would a LOZ fighting game!

Sweet! Another moveset by you would own, considering how you convinced everyone with your Ralph moveset. You own at making these movesets!

As for a LOZ fighting game, that would own! Especially if it had all the LOZ games and characters from each of them in it (with the exception of the pointless Phillips games). Multiple Links, Four Swords Links, Ganon, Ganondorf, Aghamin, Zant, Vatti....man that would make me happy! I gonna go to that LOZ game idea post now, even though Four Swords Adventures was kinda like that (random fun), but this would own! Still a great idea WindGuru I hope someone working on the Brawl project reads this!

Thanks for that Matt.

I'm interested to see others opinions, so this is bumped.

One last request before I leave this for a while...

Could someone post this on Nsiders?

Setting you up the bomb.
Just out of curiosity, are there any other characters in the Legend of Zelda series that might fill the role of Link's rival? None come to my mind other than Ralph, but I thought it'd be interesting to see who may be in competition with him in that regard.

Also, I'll see about fulfilling your request once I finish with my exam tonight.
(Yes... unfortunately, I do have an Nsider account...)

No, which is why I like him so much. There's no one else who's EVER tried anything.

Thank you if you can. I too have revision to do, so bye for now.

Done. Here's the link: http://forums.nintendo.com/nintendo/board/message?board.id=smash&message.id=1329989

Unfortunately, despite the fact I've been on Nsiders nearly as long as I have on SmashBoards, I'm still bogged down by restrictions, namely posting image files and direct links, so it's nowhere as eye-catching as your original post. Oh well...

EDIT: Bah... It's already losing interest... Unfortunately only character topics on the likes of Tom Nook seem to keep Nsiders' woefully short attention spans occupied... :ohwell:

At any rate, I'll bump it tomorrow when the forum is more active...

Long time no see thread.

People have been asking about this guy, so I'm bumping this.

Any comments?

I can't stand Nintendo's site in general. It might help if we got something akin to Club Nintendo--y'know, an actual reason for registering games? It's not as if Ninty's NOT flush with cash at the mo'.

Anyway. This thread. It's pretty snazzy...I don't really know how I feel about Ralph (I barely remember Seasons Ages), but I don't see any glaring reasons why he should be outright excluded. Besides the usual stuff: he's alot like Marth, incredibly unknown (thus unpopular), and we don't want clones in Brawl.

He was in ages by the way. Seasons had practically no one (cept Maple :lick:).

Meh, I think these two games should at least be referenced by Sakurai. They had some of the most unique Zelda characters ever created in them. Okay, Ralph was one, but what about a witch that rides around on a vacuum cleaner? Lol.

As far as clones go, well, Metakngiht could be like Mario, in that Ralph takes the bare bones from him, but with new moves, like Luigi.

Final point yo: Ralph is strangely popular for some reason, despite being in one game. Read (if anyone's interested in fanfiction) Sunruner's awesome Matters of the State on fanfiction.net, or search around on deviantart.

I love you.

Persionally, I think it would be cool if Ralph was allowed the seed shooter too. Or a 'piercethrough' move, where he kinds of smash blade-first THROUGH an enemy and appear on the other side.

I'll admit it, I'm not an expert on these games, but this tread just required me to get an account and post >___> If Ralph DO show up in another game, consider it bought.

I love you too Zephy. :p.

Yay! You got my message then!

I dunno. I thought about the seedshoter, cause darn it, swords and guns are cool.

I'll put that smash up as a finale, shall I?

i think flagship (the 3rd party company that made the 4swords series, the oracle series, and the min cap) should make little zelda spinoff games about secondary characters. they should especially do it since nintendo has (for now) taken over development of the handheld zelda games, and ralph would be a prime candidate for a little bit of solo action and im sure theres others from zelda games (anyone ever wanted to play as sheik?)

anyways, thats just a fantasy and i doubt anything would ever happen along those lines, but its still fun to think about.

You know what I was just thinking: if they start putting in more characters like this, they could start doing spin-off franchises :p I mean, it worked for Wario, and they're attempting it with Tingle. Who's for a "Legend of Ralph" game for the DS? XD
*snickers* Remind me of the doujinshi I'm making in his honour.

The game from Ralph's POV

It's called 'Ralph to the Rescue' :chuckle:

Sorry for the multiposting, I read the rules wrong.

Will be deleted when I figure out HOW.

You know Ralph..does remind me of Raphael from Soulc Calibiar II, he is a fencer as well. I suppose he would have that finesse with him no?
I think I read somewhere that Ralph's full birthname was Raphael something Anbi.

Funny coincidence.

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.
How about he could play then harp and the battlefield changes for a short period of time. All characters caught inside something is frozen untill the place changes again. or like, Ralph plays the harp and appear on a random spot on the field? Or he could turn older for a short period of time and deal more damage.

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...
*nods* I hate when people think Link's RIVAL is Dark Link or Gannon. There's a difference between rival and enemy, especialy in the point where rivals just compete, not necesarrily kill each other.

The other in an enemy,

Ralph deserves more attention, I find him the best character Legend of Zelda has ever presented to us.

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.
How about an aim ability to go with the seed shooter. Ralph stops on the spot to aim, but gets 100% chance to hit.

Of course, as he stops, his vaulnurability will weigh up the attack.

C-C-C-Combo breaker!

Seriously though, don't double post (or sextuple post or whatever it's called in this case)

I'm surprised I haven't posted in this thread before. I loved the oracle games and at one point I speculated about Ralph being a character. Now I don't think his chances are so hot, but any representation to the oracle games would be well received.

Those are different answers to different posts. Unless I misunderstood the rules, then that's allowed.

Also, reading all the vaati similarity, supporting, then.... why not make it like this?

Link ----> Dark Link
Ralph ----> Vaati?

The rules are that you aren't allowed to post if the last post s yours (unless you are bumping, but that isn't the case here). If you want to respond to different posts, you'll have to put it all into one post, which is what the edit button.

I'm not trying to be harsh, I understand you are new here. But the mods don't like it so I'm just trying to give you a heads up.

Zephy, check out my links section.

Head Luke's words (may the force be with you). Don't worry, I love you for what you've done here.

And I now have DarkFur's oath of loyalty. That makes this birdie happy.

lol at zephy having 10 posts out of 12 on a page...

i fully support ralph for brawl. ages/seasons were too good. i was thinking though, if he gets in, he should actually use equipment that were only in those games...up+B could be the roc cape, neutral B would be the seed shooter (with 360 degree aiming and shots bouncing off walls of course!). i havent thought of what the other two could be yet cause i have to remember all the items in those games (havent played them in years...). ralph would be an amazing wtf character.

I'm trying to fix it, but I can't find the delete button thing. It says under edit, but I really can't find it.

Roc's cape and bouncing seeds? Awesooooome. He'll be more wtf than kirby if we keep this up.


Anyone but me that's thinking of tauntings? True, I don't know aaaall that much about the game (I only get to play it at rare occasions by my cousin) But I think I remember something about taunting.
If not, my mind could probably do a whole lot of funny comic out of it. (I know I probably should make some kind of poster with 'Ralph for brawl!' theme on it)

Maybe you should make it into an attack thing. Taunting, you loose controle of your character for a bit.

Or something like 'dramatic entrance' where he falls from a random place and smashes down sword-first, freezing and damaging the enemies around.

Or something about the power glove. Like picking up an enemy or a huge item and throwing it at people.


Hm... wearen't there something about Marth being royalty? Wouldn't a battle between Marth and Ralph then be kind of mini-warfaring? Next we know, they're sending armies after each other.


Also, that super attack, Ralph could play the harp of ages to swoop back into the past and attack younger versions or ancestors or something, then returning. Dealing heavy damage to the other characters.
