Some creature created in 2006 could not appear in a game created in 2002. That's a fact unless you've unravled the mystery of time travel. This has nothing to do with the Zelda timeline.
That's your opinion, not anything factual. I do not think she'll be in more games after Twilight Princess, because she simply seems like she was a one time thing. If you think about it, Midna is the same as the Minish Cap, but we're most likely not gonna see the MC again.
True. It is my opinion. But it is your opinion that she will not be in any more Zelda game. The point is that right now, at the very least, Midna is the Zelda Flavor of the month. The characters in the Zelda series (or Link at least) is dressed in thier TP outfits in Brawl. Logically, that means Twilight Princess characters have a good chance of appearing in Brawl. And who's the main character outside of Link in Twilight Princess?
So her appearing as a random NPC character with no importance means she should be in Brawl..? Also, Tingle is the type of character that 'can' be re-used as a comic relief. Midna was a big part of Twilight Princess, so unless they return to the TP story, how can you really use Midna for anything else later on?
Absolutely not. I don't think any Zelda games outside of MAYBE Phantom Hourglass are going to be released before Brawl. I'm just saying I don't think Midna's going to just be in one game. As for using her later on, Did anyone expect to use the Goron later on? The Zoras? Kokiri? There's always the possibility of a "ghost town" or "Twilight town" appearing in Brawl. Hell, they had a ghost town in Zelda II. There are plenty of possibilities.
Paragraph 1: A cameo as what? Maybe she does land a spot being a random NPC. (Cause you know the Twilight Princess fits perfectly as a shop owner.) but again, in my opinion I don't see it happening in an important role-wise, and a shop owner or just a random character in the game isn't really enough to merit a Smash Bros position.
Her future Zelda appearences aren't likely to happen before Brawl. It's her reception after TP that's going to get her in. Shiek made it didn't she? And like you said, she was only in one game.
Paragraph 2: Yes, but everytime it's a different name, and a different view of the 'dark world', what makes you think the Twilight story is here to stay when none of them have really stayed slanted to stone?
See above. Just because the Twilight realm is a different dimension in TP, doesn't mean it will be in other games. There are dozens of loopholes or scenarios Nintendo could use to have Minda come back in other games because you're right, the Zelda universe isn't set in stone. Just remember Midna's last words in TP. "See you later."
Paragraph 3: Midna represents ONE new Zelda game. Also, saying she could have a wonderful moveset that no one else has is vague. Just about every character out through video game history could have a unique moveset, she's no different. And I like Skull Kid better than Midna, as my own opinion. But, no, I believe Vaati is more popular and important than Midna is. Midna is just hype, 5 years from now you wouldn't be saying the same thing about her as you are now, because she'd just be a dead memory of a character. Also, Ness was the main character of his game.
But right now, Midna is important. We have seen some of the tricks she can do with her Twili Powers in game (through cutscenes and otherwise.) And yes it's possible we could forget about her in 5 years (EXTREMELY doubtful considering we all still remember Aghanim,) but there's an equal chance she could, as I've been saying, appear in future titles. If the Goron race, Zora Race, and Kokiri Race can all come back, why not the Twili race?
Many characters can make several appearances in Zelda games, but not all of them should get to get in. x.x
I agree. But I believe Midna should. This is my opinion. Personally, I don't think Tingle, Vaati, or Skull Kid should make it in.
I did play the game, Numa hasn't. >_>
Midna is the same, you just get like one extra attack with the wolf, but otherwise, it's just another fairy. You can see it however you want. I thought she was annoying.
Tatl and Navi didn't have anything near the importance Midna did in regards to thir story. You thought she was annoying. Fine. But even you must admit that the importance of Midna was far more important in Twilight Princess than Navi was in OOT or Tatl was in MM.
Snake and Ness were the MAIN CHARACTERS of their game. Also, Hideo asked Sakurai to put Snake in. I haven't heard word of someone begging him to put Midna in, so it's obviously not the same story.
First of all, it can be argued the Midna was the main character of Twilight Princess. She had a problem. She had a change of personality over the course of the game. And she helped to solve the problem. But that's not the point. She fits the Genre of Super Smash Brothers because she is a fictional Nintendo character that most fans seem to like. That's all you need to get in. If an 8 inch pink puff ball, a futuristic bounty hunter, a mustached plumber, an Angel with a bow, and a bipedal canine pilot can all fit the genre of a game, why can't a cute little imp with a mischevious streak get in too?
EDIT:
Everything you just mentioned was more than what Midna's done in that one game.
No. No it isn't.
Numa Dude said:
In MM skull kid was being MANIPULATED not controlled by the mask. In TP if he didn't take you to the temple you couldn't get the sword we all know and love.
Majora's Mask directly refers to Skull Kid as a puppet. And manipulated or not, Majora's Mask is Link's enemy, not Skull Kid which is why the two become friends in the ending.
And if the Monkey didn't lead you through the lost woods in OOT, you wouldn't have been able to get to the forest Temple. Congratulations. Skull Kid is as important as the white monkey.
That child, more than likely, was the new Deku tree in WW.
