Maybe try searching company records on the country it was incorporated? Apparently that's an easy way to find something like that.
Smash TV is owned by Warner Bros.
All the more reason to hope for Sub-Zero (and Scorpion) in Smash. I’m just being greedy but I’d love to get this song along with a Mii costume if that ever happens.

For the record, I think Ghirahim and Impa are on the same level, just below Midna and Skull Kid. Both of them are super iconic in their own right.
Yeah, it makes sense that Skull Kid and Midna would be front runners since they both have assist trophies along with Girahim. I might put Skull Kid ahead of the others since he also has a Mii costume. I think if a character has both an assist trophy and a Mii costume, that probably speaks well for their chances in the next game. Still, nothing is guaranteed.
Even Gwonam and Morshu?
Lol oh boy, that game.
CD-i Zelda. Specifically, Faces of Evil. That said, Morshu does have quite a bit of popularity that he's the only notable CD-i character where people have genuinely asked for him to come back as a Zelda NPC character compared to the other CD-i characters.
we're talking about real zelda characters not memes
I refuse to see the greatest characters in series history denounced as mere """memes"""
alright then: we’re talking about characters actually owned by Nintendo and who Nintendo is not currently pretending doesn’t exist
I personally think there’s nothing wrong with including one-off characters in Smash. I feel like it’s even an inevitability once we run out of recurring first party characters. A lot of one-offs are still really popular and have a ton of potential for Smash that it seems like a waste to dismiss them just for that. The fact that people are still talking about Skull Kid and Midna after all these years shows that they have remained popular despite their one-off status. Smash isn’t really canon anyway so why does that even have to be a limitation?
And then there's me, the guy who doesn't mind Lady Alma:

What do you mean by having a ton of potential for Smash? Because if you're talking about moveset potential, a character like Skull Kid has barely anything that you can pull from to fill out a full moveset.
Have you ever played Hyrule Warriors? Skull Kid has a full moveset in that game. Smash could easily take inspiration from his appearance in that game for Smash. I also was talking about one-offs in general with that statement and not specifically Skull Kid.
There's nothing wrong with having one-shot characters... if the character in question is from a one-shot IP or a rotating cast IP.
not to mention borrowing attacks from the bosses he created
I get where you’re coming from but I have to fundamentally disagree. By cutting off one-off characters, you’re severely limiting your potential options for no real gain. In that scenario, we will never get any other Zelda character after Impa. Eventually, every series is going to run out of recurring characters that would be eligible for Smash and we would only have newcomers from rotating casts. I’m not sure why rotating casts even would be an exception in that case. Is Robin being in Smash 6 going to encourage more people to buy the next Fire Emblem than Skull Kid would for the next Zelda? In both cases, they still bring attention to the series even if the specific character doesn’t return.
I wonder if this would lead to Kung Fu being on there eventually.
It's a limitation for the existing "fixed cast" franchises for sure, but the "gain" in question is using those resources for other applications, whether that be making innovations to the gameplay or looking elsewhere for more characters first party or third party both.
Like I said:
There are always side games like Hyrule Warriors to keep those older characters relevant. Even Smash itself does a great job with this. Many veterans in Smash have retained popularity through these games even though they haven’t had an appearance in a mainline game in years.
I think if Zelda had a lot more intra-series crossover spin-offs than just... one, then the one-shots could have more of a chance. One is still a far cry from Fire Emblem having a healthy mobile crossover game plus a recent mainline game centered around summoning spirits of old heroes or Xenoblade having crossover DLC content from XC1 and XCX in XC2, with XC3 poised to have the same.
Breath of the Wild actually had a bunch of crossover content with the different clothing options. You could even have Wolf Link from Twilight Princess as a companion.
It would, but then you remember that none of them (or at least none of the ones that would actually be added) speak. It wouldn't have much interaction
Link in the Multiverse of Madness!
I suppose if there were various Zeldas and/or allies of the Links involved that could compensate somewhat. Communication between Groose, Midna, Tetra, Navi, Young Impa, & Sahasrahla could go a long way.
I see a difference indeed between "the Hero, the Princess, and the Devil, infused with the power of the godesses, seem to be stuck in an eternal battle of good vs evil and doomed to be reborn over and over again" and "everybody comes back all the time because why not". But I am very wise.
I say Tingle and Beedle are okay, because they're funny.
I really doubt we would get Rare replay on Switch but I'm sure more N64 Rare games will eventually comes to Switch online such as Banjo Tooie and Perfect dark.
There is, but none of them are vilains or side characters like Skull kid, Midna and Girahim. For example, Ice climber and Duck hunt have only one appearance (not counting cameo in other game or crossover like Wario Ware or Tetris DS), but that's because their respective franchise have only 1 game (not counting re-release obviously). Ness and Lucas both appear in only one of the Mother Games. MinMin also appear in only one game because Arms also have one game.
Chrom and Robin appear in other games through DLC and amiibo.
