Yeah, I remember that Reggie said 'oh, and we have a new Smash Bros. game in development!' at one E3 and then we had to wait an entire year to see anything.
Iwata did it for Brawl. He announced the game, and then spoke to Sakurai about making the game after the fact.
I dunno though. As a Smash speculation group Impa is on all of our minds. General population though, they'd be like who? That old chick? Why is she in?
If they went with Impa, I'd hope they pay attention to what the people who want the character are asking for this time. Adding her as the old lady version would probably bum a lot of people out.
People were fiddling around with the URLs and were able to access that image. You can't view it anymore though. As for it being real it's 50/50. Could be just an employee messing around or Best Buy might have messed up and actually leaked something. We'll know in a couple of days.
To be fair they probably said the same for Palutena, Shulk, Corrin, Little Mac, Roy if they haven't played Melee, possibly Bayo etc as well and with Breath of the Wild being the monster hit it is, I don't think it's fair to suddenly denounce Impa 4thecasuals when Sakurai has added plenty of more "niche" characters.
You are probably right, but it has some chance of happening if Skyward Sword HD ever gets to exist. As for now, I'd say her Hyrule Warriors appearance is most likely.
I think the Moblin-like Ganon from the 2D Zelda games could be resized down to at least Bowser's size without issues like Ridley has.
I think a Bowser Jr.-type scenario where the "obvious Up B" (Clown Car/Gate of Time) turns out to be the gimmick of choice could be a good choice for Impa's moveset.
Ridley's only issue is Sakurai doesn't like the idea of making him a workable size for Smash Bros. Everything, from his wings to his tail can be made to fit if someone wants them to.
Especially with Sheikah Slate Runes like The Force aka Magnesis and/or Stasis
Yes! Exactly. I'd rather have that over BOTW Link as the third Link.
Wing span was only part of the problem. And honestly, that particular issue only truly applies to the Other M design (as in, the design that would have been the main point of reference in his hypothetical Smash 4 debut) not counting any of the cyborg states (notably, Meta Ridley's wingspan, while still huge in Brawl, is only a fraction of what it was in Metroid Prime).
In terms of likelihood sure, but how so in concept?
Ignoring the fact that making the towering monster that is Ganon only slightly larger than his Ganondorf counterpart is just absurd, the style that is "pig man" Ganon within the Zelda series cannot be replicated in Smash properly.
A Link to the Past alone has basically his special moves covered, and you can take some ques from the Yuganon fight in A Link Between Worlds as well. Then there is Calamity Beast Ganon from Breath of the Wild that can work for a Final Smash. Moveset wise, Ganon's fine.
Size I don't really see as an issue given that scaling has already been done for a majority of the cast already in Smash Bros. Even when it comes to Ridley, who's more a case of proportions than sheer size, I believe could be done provided Sakurai finally came up with a portrayal he's satisfied with. In terms of actual attacks, I don't see why he couldn't fight using his trident and various magic attacks.
Never has there been an extreme and jarring case of scaling (within the same series, so no, Olimar isn't a counterexample) such as the idea of the giant monsterous Ganon being scaled down to be closer to the rest of the Zelda cast. The closest case would be in regards to Pokémon, and how the size gap between the likes of Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Lucario and the likes of Mewtwo, Charizard, and Greninja was made smaller (with Pokémon Trainer's presence in Brawl implying that the former three (and Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Pichu, technically) are actually scaled up as opposed to the latter three being scaled down).
Not really. He's usually quite massive, but like Bowser, Ridley, and K. Rool, his size has fluctuated throughout his appearances. His proportions can be easily scaled, and given that Olimar and all the Pokemon aren't accurate to their sizes either, I think it's a creative liberty that could be done just fine. Granted I don't think he's likely at all, more of a pipe dream want.
Again, my point is more so that it can be done. Whether or not Sakurai would think it's a good idea is another issue entirely. As I clarified from the start, I don't think it's likely at all.
True Ganon's size hasn't really been that consistent either.
Actually, most of the time, outside of Puppet Ganon and Beast Ganon(among the canon games), he's made similar to the Moblins.
Except Beast Ganon appears as much as Moblin Ganon. Even then, what design do we use?
- Plain Ganon, as in the pig/moblin form, has appeared numerous times; The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Oracle of Ages & Seasons, Four Swords & Adventures, A Link Between Worlds
Doesn't Ganondorf appear in FSA?
As far as I'm aware, no (his laughter did though...)
Adventures is listed. I just put it as "& Adventures" right after Four Swords.
As noted, Beast Ganon has one total canon appearance. TP. They combined the 3 major designs(Moblin, Beast, classic NES blue) to create his form in Hyrule Warriors. OOT is pretty much Moblin Ganon from ALttP with Swords.
I meant at the beginning of the game with the tapestry.
I guess so, but that's more of a cameo than actually appearing in the game as Curious Villager said.
That's why I said it was a cameo.
