I've always imagined Tetra having this theme if she got added to Smash.

Dandy! I remember hearing that in Hyrule Warriors while playing the Wind Waker chapter. It would be really amusing seeing her gameplay footage while that theme plays by.
Now I wonder how would her reveal trailer be, and who would be in it, well Toon Link is already pretty much a given. Maybe K.rool too since he’s also a captain (or should I say, Kaptain) pirate.

The fact that the song isn't in the actual game? Also the background.

When did I say that?
maybe it was in another thread you did post a few of them

But those were different videos/backgrounds. Did I ever say all these videos/backgrounds in each thread was made by the same person?

Yes you did!

No I didn't.
Please, provide some proof. Proof that I said that this video and background were made by different people and by the same people who made other videos that made different backgrounds.

I support the heck out of Tetra, i'd say that she's probably the best Zelda out there, simply because of her fiery personnality and cool design.
I always found it kind of weird that she loses her tan when she transforms back into regular Zelda in Wind Waker but whatever, Tetra for Smash !

Yeah, sign me up as a supporter.
The Wind Waker has been my favorite game in the series for years and Tetra has a great design and likeable personality

Done and done. Always a pleasure to welcome more onboard the crew!
You've got good taste, btw. Wind Waker is my favorite as well (and it remains my all-time favorite video game as a whole), if that wasn't clear already.

I think rather than Tetra herself, the developpers want(ed) to reuse the cell-shading art-style, and she comes with it.
i dunno theres 3 with her and 4 without, could be more cause they wanted to do sequels

I mean, besides the fact that WW already has two direct follow-ups, there was originally going to be a more direct sequel on the console that likely would've stayed more true to the first game. The fact that it had the development title of "Wind Waker 2" hints that, their initial intentions, at least, were to continue from where the story of the first game and it's characters left off.
Sadly, WW's reception wasn't as warm at the time they were working on it, so they changed their plans and deliberately went for the more-realistic setting and graphics of Twilight Princess to contrast with Wind Waker's cartoony cel-shaded setting (which at the time was a big criticism of the game, albeit largely in North America), thinking it would have more success. I don't regret getting Twilight Princess. TP's one of my favorite entries in the series, and I find that it still takes a lot after it's predecessor despite looking so radically different. The differences between every Zelda game that isn't a direct sequel to one specific prior entry is what makes each game special and unique.
Still, I can't help but wonder how this "Wind Waker 2" would've turned out. Would it have been more like the original? Would it have been more-open world rather than miles of ocean with many islands to explore? Would it have had a similar story to Phantom Hourglass? The fact that they still used the characters in Phantom Hourglass tells me that they probably would've wanted to use Tetra and her crew again, along with WW's own Link. As for Spirit Tracks, I imagine the idea for that one came much later, and since they wanted to use cel-shading again after having already made two games in that graphics-style in the same timeline, they just decided to have the third one follow in the footsteps of the past two, so that they explore (Toon) Link and Tetra's legacies. The developers teams have clearly had plenty ideas for the Wind Waker setting and Link and Tetra in particular, some of them just remain unrealized.
On an unrelated note, I've read that Sheik also was going to be, or at least had conceptual art for Twilight Princess. And that's where her design in Brawl really came from. It wasn't specifically created from scratch for the spin-off.
Just some interesting behind the scenes facts and trivia I thought was worth noting for this topic.

from what i understand wind waker 2 was just a nickname bar that there was nothing to suggest it was ever planned to be a sequel
also shieks TP design was made for brawl the zelda dev team said so, the idea that she was to be in TP came from a misunderstanding from brawl's dojo where it said it was based on a design made during TP development not that it was made for the game. hyrule historia explains that it was made for brawl

It was a development title, but whatever is was actually going to be like is up in the air. To my understanding, though, it was at least going to be a direct-sequel.
Thanks for the correction on the latter note of Sheik, though.

I would love this track to be in the game. I don't know why it already isn't.

Im a big fan of Tetra, but at this point, it would be as an echo that Id want her in.

Ehhhh, there's already going to be plenty complaining about her being another Zelda, I don't want complaints about another clone LoZ rep on top of that.

I'm all for Tetra! She may not be my first Zelda pick, but she's cool!

HA!
How's THAT for Spirits disconfirm fighters?
Min Min is officially the first DLC newcomer to have previously debuted in Ultimate as a standalone Spirit.
This opens a lot more possibilities than it closes, and it means the captain of our crew is very much a possibility, now, if there was still doubt before.
The journey's not over. Not yet. We're sailing smooth waters once again thanks to this ARMS girl. With more DLC on the way and Spirits officially no longer being an obstacle, Tetra's odds are better than they have been in years.
If there was ever a good time to hope for Tetra, this is it, crew. Get out there and make your voices heard. Let the winds guide you!

That’s definitely refreshing to hear. Sadly I still think it’s kinda unlikely, but hey who knows? Sakurai likes to be unpredictable after all, and getting another fighter from the Legend of Zelda series in Ultimate doesn’t really sound that much like a stretch seeing that it’s one of Nintendo’s most successful series and that we still haven’t had a Zelda newcomer SINCE BRAWL.HA!How's THAT for Spirits disconfirm fighters?

Yeah, that's a big issue, imo. Thing is, Smash has always focused on the "big three" characters in LoZ when it comes to playable fighters, barring variations of them.
Saying that no other Zelda characters who aren't any of the three could get in is merely subscribing to a fan rule, but at the same time, we have little to go off of to claim otherwise. Zelda newcomers of any sort like say, a Champion from BotW, aren't looking pretty likely at this point. But who knows? I wanna see that change. Tetra and Skull kid are still the ones I'm rooting for the most, personally, but I wouldn't complain if we saw someone like any of the Champions join, either.
At this point, I think Tetra's best shot is if Sakurai decides to revisit any of the cut characters from Brawl. That probably won't happen if all future DLC fighters are decided almost exclusively by Nintendo and associated Third-Parties, but time will tell if that changes. It'd take another in-house Nintendo employee or representative to vouch for Tetra instead if it doesn't, but I find that outcome even less likely. So fingers crossed that DLC keeps going strong for a long time to come, eh?
As a side note, I'll have a little more hope in Sakurai revisiting the cut cast of Brawl (thus including Tetra and Toon Zelda) as a whole if Dixie Kong joins the fight. I say Dixie Kong in particular because I think that she's one of the only characters who's truly "missing" from Ultimate's roster at this point, and with that and her importance and fanbase in mind, I also think that she's by far the most likely of the cut newcomers to escape that status and join the fight.
im curious as to who you say the others are

Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game, so I'd obviously be on board.
Toon Ganon, obviously.
i see, characters based on your own wants rather than ones who would have made sense to be on a nintendo all start roster

Personally, I'd rather have Captain Syrup, but I love pirate girls and Tetra is my favorite version of Zelda, so I support this.
