So despite realistic Link's perceived higher popularity, it's seeming more likely we will get a model closer to the water colored Link in the next Smash.
I heard thats its rumored that sakurai just tweeted this based off an image a 4chan user posted. And even then i still think link will be right handed, they can switch his weapons for the figure all they want, but it still looks wrong when his sword harness is faced in the direction for a right handed swordsman.
Link looked a lot better in the SS art than in the actual game :/Dirty blonde *****.

Huh? The next console Zelda is set to come out next year.Regarding that quote, they didn't quite use that style for LttP2. Then it's obviously for the next console Zelda, which is many years in the future.
Given a choice, I'll choose the TP-esque realistic one in a heartbeat.
The main reason for the apparent poor reception of SS Link's design is probably the goofy face. If they can fix that, then I can live with water coloured Link as well.
Are you talking about LttP 2 or Wind Waker HD?
I think he means The Zelda that's launching (hopefully) holiday 2014 http://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Zelda_Wii_U it's an all new Zelda but almost no info has been released about it. ALttP 2 and the HD WW are to get people through the wait, lol. New info should be released at E3. It's good nintendo is making quality games but the wait is hardAre you talking about LttP 2 or Wind Waker HD?
If not either of them, then give a source please.

Perhaps that source is questionable, but there have been many hints at 2014.Are you talking about LttP 2 or Wind Waker HD?
If not either of them, then give a source please.
Thats literally no change from bralws, its just TP's link design with more detail and a better character model. As a link main id like him to at least get a visual design change if his moves remain unchanged, it would be boring to see him just show up looking exactly the same as he did in the previous game. SS link is easily the best choice, and plausible considering when they started development on this.
In the nintendo direct for january they said they were working on the next console installment, but that it was taking longer then they had previously thought, because in looking back at old titles and their look thats what gave them the idea for wwhd. WWHD and a link to the past 2 are there to hold us over for a while, till they can give us an original console zelda, and we know the main zelda team is also working on ALTTP2 so that could cause an even longer dev cycle for the wiiu one. I highly doubt we will see anything of the new zelda this year at all when they still have to showcase whats actually coming out this year as far as zelda goes. Nintendo has learned from the past mistakes and they have started to only reveal their new titles when they are within a feasible launch window. The next zelda is further off than most people are hoping, and as ive said before there is no way they would show a new link in smash bros (which we know we will see around e3) before they show the actual game that design is derived from.
He also has blond and is right handed with more item pouches. I didn't mean exactly like the demo; what I meant was he should get an awesome graphic boost. Like how they made Ganon here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XKHQXuXE8qc#t=36s you can see the hairs on his beard and I find that very cool
I get what your saying, but lighting wont be an issue at all since they wont be using the graphic engine from those games or those character models. The smash bros team will make their own models, and the look of them will mesh with the overall design of the game. So if SS link is in he will be more detailed and probably closer to the original artwork, but also with much more detail. It wont be an issue at all.He also has blond and is right handed with more item pouches. I didn't mean exactly like the demo; what I meant was he should get an awesome graphic boost.

I hope it's not SS Link and it probably won't be considering SS Link has more blurred lighting which works with the SS world but would look weird in a contrasty high tech environment (like Frigate).

In Brawl the detail like fabric textures is visible on Luigi's overalls etc. Even characters like Kirby and Pika have precise detail in lighting and textures. The detailed look fits the SSBB universe better and works with various environments from different games like Metroid. With a HD graphic engine they really should have good graphics.
With that said, they easily could make a choosible color scheme be SS Link like how TLink in Brawl has ALttP colors.
A mixture between SS Link and TP Link would be the best way to go in my opinion. And personally, I didn't mind the SS art style all that much.
I'd think he would have a lighter colour pallet and his tunic basically looks a bit cleaner and less wrinkly. Kinda like HylianHeroBigBoss's image example except with SS Link's face of course and not whoever is dressed up as him.
Super Smash Bros. Action Figures!? :DWe know what this means right?
So, in a way, a return to the series's roots. In Smash 64, the characters were dolls who were brought to life by Master hand.
Ah yes, I remember that... Man, that would be awesome!!! Maybe if they had a choice of a starter action figure that came with a 'Ultimate' edition.
I wouldn't mind being able to roll the bombs.
Also after playing twilight princess and unlocking the ability to attach bombs to my arrows to make exploding arrows I immediately tried this out in brawl...sadly it didn't work.
The strange thing though is that you have the ability to Pull out a bomb and then pull out your bow and arrow or boomerang while still having the bomb equipped.
So what I would like to see is the ability to attach bombs onto your arrows by inputting the Bomb first and then activating the bow and arrow.
Ditch that Hurricane boomerang. (Maybe when the boomerang is used while Link is in motion it locks onto opponents Like Samus' Missiles do whenever Samus is Moving?)
And who wouldn't love to see the bug net as an alternate weapon XD. I loved using that in Soul Calibur 2!
Speaking of which Link's fully charges spin attack in SC2 would add flames to his sword, a fully charged sword spin should have more of a bonus like that.
Oh! and I believe in either melee or smash 64 if you pressed A quickly enough Link would do a rapid sword attack like captain falcons punches or fox's kicks.
It would be nice to see that make a return.
The likely reason as to why LttP2 is using that artstyle is just that - it's a direct sequel to A Link to the Past. Installments that don't have direct connections to previous games will probably only use the Squidward Sword and Wind Waker art styles.Regarding that quote, they didn't quite use that style for LttP2. Then it's obviously for the next console Zelda, which is many years in the future.

It'd also look a lot nicer, IMO as they have their diverse art styles better celebrated instead of trying to get them to conform to some realistic Kirby style.
Id rather they made TP Link less realistic than make SS Link look more realistic................... if you know what I mean.
Thats fine if you like the TP design more visually, thats your opinion, but there is no denying that they could get the SS design to look just fine in this game which is what we were talking about. I love TP's designs as well, i just want something different since i dont want to play as TP link for another half a decade when theres other possibilities out there that look just as cool IMO and could bring something new to the table.
Yeah if they make him look less stocky and fix his face for SSB4 then I wouldn't complain.
Yeah i definitely agree there, i like different art styles for the series but i tend to feel the more detailed and darker zelda games usually have better atmosphere and feeling. As long as we dont keep seeing a ton more of toon link styled games ill be happy, just plain sick of that art design myself after so many games with it.
Yeah but I think McLeod had it before your post. Creepy
They must have play TP
