I'm happy to see that K. Rool is almost entirely "Yes". Surprised to see so much "No" for Shovel Knight, but maybe his popularity was just a brief affair. Young Link is the only veteran I do not want to see return at all. Two Links is enough since Toon Link essentially replaced Young Link. I still stand by my statement that Toon Link IS Young Link, just with a more differentiated model. I really, really, really want a new Zelda character. But one that isn't another Link, Zelda, or Ganondorf (I will make an exception for Tetra but I would rather Impa).
As I said earlier on K. Rool, if he got in on more Mario spinoffs, he'd be much more likely. At least he wouldn't get automatically shut down like he has been pre-ballot.
