Unless you ladder combo a newcomer into the stratosphere on Green Greens as Bayonetta in front of thousands of viewers and Sakurai himself.

Assuming the next game will be different from Ultimate, I'm kind of hoping the Results Display Screen music will be something different instead of the Smash 64 Character Select Theme again.
And, if the music direction is also different for the next game, I still think rock and jazz-funk would hit hard.

How important do you think Toon Link and the whole Toon Zelda style is to Nintendo as a whole?

Important enough to make another port of Wind Waker to drop on the Switch 2 to make up for the lack of a new ZeldaHow important do you think Toon Link and the whole Toon Zelda style is to Nintendo as a whole?

Increasingly less-so, but I think it's a very significant part of Zelda's overall history. It seems like it's taken a backseat for now in favor of the "Toy" style, not sure if it's a permanent retirement or just a break for this generation. I'm honestly assuming Wind Waker HD will get a port sooner or later, so if that happens I suppose we can expect to see Toon Link at the forefront for a little while again.How important do you think Toon Link and the whole Toon Zelda style is to Nintendo as a whole?
I hope they aren't done making Toon-styled games forever, but they had a really substantial run. Enough to keep him safe for Smash? Not entirely sure, but I do have an itching feeling that some kind of green tunic-ed Link is important enough to have around. Unless next game goes harder on alternate costumes and lets Link dress up like his old self - if we aren't so fortunate, I think Toon Link is in decent standing.

Considering our last mention of the toon style was a remaster 12 years ago on the Wii U...How important do you think Toon Link and the whole Toon Zelda style is to Nintendo as a whole?
I'm gonna say not as important as a lot of people here would believe lol.

Actually it was Triforce Heroes which released in 2015.
That's not much better but... It's more accurate.

post with a new profile pic. That's just how much I associate Gengar with our Gengar I guess. On topic, I... I actually don't know. I'm honestly kind of inclined to believe that the "Toon" style has been effectively retired. Like Swamp mentioned
I feel like the "Toy" style has become the new secondary art style. Only two games in so far with the LA remake and EoW, but we don't typically get repeat art styles outside of the rare direct sequel like MM and TotK. Meanwhile EoW is pretty far removed from LA.
Maybe it's too soon to call on the diorama style but if we get a third then maybe it'd be fairer to say. That said, I don't think the Toon style is shelved for good, just benched while they explore other art styles and make the most of existing assets.

The most consistent art style at 7 games but not necessarily important. Despite that number, TP design has been used for the same amount of home console games (2) since Link's Crossbow Training exists.How important do you think Toon Link and the whole Toon Zelda style is to Nintendo as a whole?
Toon Link is more likely to stay then Young Link but Smash 6 can also either just have regular Link or replace Toon Link with the version from LA/EoW.

I’m guessing Kirbeh’s referring to your Kangaskhan profile picture. They probably mistook Kangaskhan for Gengar. I’m just happy someone’s thinking of meWhat Gengar?

I'm doing a thing where I'm cycling my avatar through all the Mega Evolutions as a countdown to Pokemon Day, because I'm really stoked to finally see Legends ZA.
My pfp was Mega Gengar up until ten minutes ago, causing the confusion
