Personally, i vote for Samus.
Samus and Zelda are complete polar opposites in terms of actual characters, yet Zelda has at least as much (if not more) firepower than Samus clad in her Power Suit. Of course it could just be me who finds the idea of a Medieval and a Futuristic character teaming up together highly appealing. I also find it to be less of a cliche than i find an Ike pairing to be.
