Wasn't Link intentionally made bland because he was supposed to be a link to the player? Great idea in the past, but it's kind of backfiring now.
It still works on some characters like Gordon Freeman from Half-Life, but nowadays, it doesn't work. Especially on characters like Link. Grunting ain't a personality.
The only times he had one was by Philips and the cartoons. Not even by Nintendo. I don't see why they couldn't try to add a personality to him.

Oh wait, I know : fans. That's the reason.

The fact link should not talk in the main games its because he would sound obnoxious,saying the things I just heard or saw,but I would be fine if he talked on spin-offs.
And again I am sounding like a white knighting f*g.

Link needs a makeover.

Leather jacket, Chuck Taylor shoes, ear gauges, and Fruit of the Loom underwear. That should add some spice to the classic design.

The last time they tried giving Link a personality, it resulted in THOSE games we don't talk about. Then again the game was made by Phillips so i guess i can't be too mad.
Well, there's Skyward Sword which was all right, but Groose, Ghirahim, Impa, Zelda, Demise, everyone else, and even the enemies and Fi had more character than Link.

Wind Waker Link was goofy, but that was because of the art direction. The Hero's Shade had personality, but he was a NPC rather than a playable Link.

To be fair, they did give you the option to rename him, which from now on I'm just gonna name him Robin.

And considering that Majoras Mask 3D comes in two months, I'll get my first chance doing that pretty soon.
Yeah, but Robin has their own personality while Link was just a blank sheet for you to imprint yourself on.

Lord Waluigi is preparing a master plan to put himself in Smash. Converting the Smash 4 roster to his cause, the Great Wah and his trusty tennis racket is only starting his reign of terror.
Only Sakurai with :4kirby:,:4metaknight:,:4dedede:, :4palutena:, :4pit: and :4darkpit: can stop the Wah.
But the Wah is unpredictable. One day, he'll come.

What am I doing with my life.
He must appear in a main series Mario game first. :troll:

Thats unfair that only premium users get to have bigger sigs

It makes me sad but oh well.
I have sigs turned off completely because too many of you run stupid waifu or distracting gif junk that fills up the screen. Also, at the time I purchased, just about everyone had a "This is my top 10 4 Smash" banner.

"It's dangerous to go alone, Link! Take this!"

*Old Man tosses keys to the DeLorean*
That is too awesome. Please don't get me on a Back to the Future trip

Yeah, you don't want to see my sig.
It's just a quote(?), a picture, a Waluigi video and this: :happysheep:
I made it back in the old days when we had Waluigi as the thread mascot instead of Shulk & Knuckles Featuring Mr. Dream from the Devil May Cry Series.

I know everybody knows this, but I just love how the dude is buying a 100 figurines of a fictional character that he hates just so that people can't buy it. We're near the level of the Sonichu creator there. And it's really sad.

But Strorfirko! How else are you gonna learn about a character's dark and terrible past if they do anything but exposition?! Why would you want to learn whether a character likes fish or pork? Or if they have personality outside of this?

I agree it's petty as ****, but mark my words: it will backfire. And it will be epic.

But that's what almost every character does in recent games including Batman who "talks" to the player to tell them what to do or notice. Hell, those quips Nathan Drake does? Or how in Mass Effect your party members talk about every thing that just happened.

Some games come to mind and they tend to focus on gameplay like DMC, Bayonetta, etc., where if it gameplay, then they rarely talk outside of attack quotes or taunts, but if it's a cutscene then they'll talk normally.

The Mario & Luigi games does this to. But you know, Miyamoto prefer the gameplay over the good story and characters. For him, writing a scenario on a toilet paper is the best way to create a scenario and a character personality. That's why Mario and Link are so bland.
though, just let IS do their stuff.

Because really, sticker star would be a different thing if it wasnt'f for this....

Before taking on the Elite Four, I have Giratina left and maybe Cresselia if I get lucky. False Swipe doesn't work on Giratina, so I'm left with trying to catch it on yellow health. :(

When it's made to improve the experience it's okay,but when it's like:
"I saw a spider and it was creppy"
But the player doesn't give a **** than the game failed itself.

I think people cares more about cortana,because she is the one touching the knob of the door,without her master chief would be like:"hey I am super soldier with a bad past and I like teabagging people."

On amiibo talk: I only have 2 amiibos (:4link: & :4fox:) but hearing all of this insultingly low supply, inexcusable instant discontinuations, and this new "amiibo jerk", all before the first wave even reaches its 3 month anniversary, I won't be getting a 3rd amiibo anytime soon.

I'm much more looking forward for that amiibo card thing Miyamoto has been considering.

I have no Amiibos. Why? because they never come to my country.

Even if they did, seeing there are Gamestop, Toys 'R Us and other exclusives, we would receive them incomplete. Honestly if they someday come here I would only buy my main :4lucina:, that's it if she's not exclusive (I don't follow Amiibo news so I don't know if they announced her already).

Never knew The Digital World supplied Amiibos. You learn something new every day. :estatic:

I've been contemplating buying a :4link: and :4kirby: amiibo to learn from it, but I don't see the point since I know good players
