No matter how unique they'd be, having 4 different Links is overkill by any standard.
2 is fine, 3 is pushing it.

Want a MM rep? Look at Skull Kid.
A TP rep? Midna (alone).

Skull Kid? Nope. If you want a puppet fighting, put someone else. *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*
And Midna wouldn't be as good alone as she would be with Wolf Link.

I don't know why more Links would be "overkill".
It's not like I'm trying to put Link and 3 Luigified clones. Mask and Wolf would be completely different from the others.
And we all know they are NOT the same character, too. Each one is from his own time and space.

I don't mind his Zelda's selection.

With the stuff Link does maybe there is a way to make all 3 different.
It's too many Links IMO. AT LEAST if you're going to do three Links go:

Link
Young Link (Mask Set)
Wolf Link & Midna

Also, after class, I might post my recent "dream" roster.

If you're referring to Geno as the puppet, then I will have you know I HATE the concept of him being in Smash due to all his overhype.

And Midna wouldn't be as good in your eyes. Doesn't make it automatically true, however. Like how I say Shake King would work very well in Smash doesn't make it true.

It would be overkill because there are more characters than just Link in the series. Why not include the blue pig Ganon? He's been in more games than Ganondorf, has a different body type (so he wouldn't be a clone), and uses a trident.
Tetra? If Sakurai can make Sheik into a workable ninja fighter, he can do the same for Tetra, and make her a workable pirate fighter.

WW Ganondorf? Sure it's the same person, but he's easily the most liked version and even uses not one, but TWO swords.

And then there's the non-Link, non-Zelda, non-Ganon characters, such as Tingle, Impa, Vaati, Ghirahim, Midna, Groose, Skull Kid, etc.

Long story short, we don't need a crapton of Links, otherwise it'd be unfair to Ganon and Zelda, and we also have a bunch of other characters to use that aren't any of those three.

If Geno is getting in Smash, this is his prime time. Especially because I'm pretty sure Sakurai tried to add him during Brawl's development. Now, he knows the ropes. Sonic, Snake, Geno, Slime. That would be awesome.

Don't worry, I wasn't being serious in that one. I do love Geno and would love to see him in action again, someday. But Smash can wait him.
Also, when I called Skull Kid a "puppet", I meant a metaphorical puppet for the Mask.

And Midna wouldn't be as good in your eyes. Doesn't make it automatically true, however. Like how I say Shake King would work very well in Smash doesn't make it true.
The problem with Midna alone is you never really see her in a lot of action when alone in Twilight Princess. She works more and better when she is riding Link[why does that sound dirty?].

I do see your point.
The thing is, Link is more than one character, and all of those characters are the most important in every Zelda game. Also, he is the only playable character in the Zelda games, too.
It may or may not be a stupid idea to put multiple Links in Sm4sh. But of one thing I'm certain: It's NOT wrong.

And then there's the non-Link, non-Zelda, non-Ganon characters, such as Tingle, Impa, Vaati, Ghirahim, Midna, Groose, Skull Kid, etc.

And I'd love to see them[with the exception of Tingle, I mean, come on!].
Those are characters that appeared once or twice in the series and were never taken as seriously as they should.
I always wanted to see Vaati in the game, but he didn't even appear as a friggin' sticker [did he?] in Brawl, so I kinda lost my faith. Not to mention he was THE MAIN VILLAIN of 3 Zelda games. Ghirahim is like, a goon in ONE game. It's not that I don't want them, I just don't EXPECT them... :(

I wanted to say that you all should try Jakor's roster maker. It's really easy to use and pretty fun.

I made mine with it. I'm still holding off on a Fire Emblem character until Chrome's game is out, but I'm leaning on him at the moment.


Should I finally decide my Fire Emblem character, he'll replace Junior.

@Kirbunny: Love your roster except for the removal of Jigglypuff. That severely irks me and would actually make me avoid the game. Original 12 must stay for me. As well as two-time veterans. No Ice Climbers is a no-go for me. And anyone else I may have missed. :urg: Find a place to put 'em, otherwise I can't even give it a rating.

If you beat the game, you can replace palutena's theme with viridi's.

All places where palutena was on the menu is replaced by viridi (Including offerings) and the main hub area bg is replaced with viridi's hub

Anyway we should get back on topic.

Viridi would be so much funner though.

She's this young girl that goes on about the destruction of the human race.

Plus blondes are better than...greenheads

What type of environments haven't been explored in Smash yet? We've got jungles, space, castles, forests, the sky, etc.
The only one I can think of is underwater.

Mushroomy Kingdom 2-2 confirmed?
