Continuity doesn't matter in Smash Bros, I know every Zelda is different, but when you choose her it doesn't say "OoT Zelda!" It just says "Zelda."
*So why should Zelda have shiek if sheik is OoT exclusive?
Also, Sakurai said "It's Zelda, in her TP DESIGN" (Notice the word design)
Since when has Zelda used goddess magic in games? (She could have used them, alas she never did)
*TP to name one, she used the light gods magic, she used sage magic in the final fight with ganon, what im saying is she has connection with the uber beings.
Since when has Pit had that look, a sword, or energy arrows?
* Its an update of a look, seriously giving him a more realistic look after nearly 20 years without a game wont cause riots... and energy arrows? he used them in kid icarus, 1st game, anyway like I SAID giving someone NEW abilities that arent used in theyre games are no problem, its for the moveset, but giving someone an ability that has appeared in the games but can used them him/herself is pointless...
*ahem* NEVER. Smash Bros isn't even set with the REAL characters. They're living trophies, if you NEED a story to explain it, that would be it. Basically that reinforces the game has not much continuity basis. It's an entirely different universe to every other game made by Nintendo. OoT Link TRANSFORMED into TP Link in the trailer. It's pretty much the same Link.
*... they were showing theyre new looks genius, saying theyre the same link is stupid...
Anyway, I'm not bothered about arguing continuity, as far as I'm concerned, there's more than enough evidence against continuity in SSB.
*WHAT EVIDENCE? WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT?
EDIT: ALL Zeldas as in, Zeldas in GENERAL. There is NO REASON to not have Shiek.
*Yeha I missed the part were ALL the zelda transform in shiek... by ur logic she should have ANOTHER transformation into tetra...
Besides, there's no point in arguing. You're not making the game, I'm not making the game.
Sakurai is making the game, if he wants Shiek in it, then Shiek is bloody going to be in it.
*and if he wants shiek out then shes out rite?
by ur logic lets just closed the forums down there no point in debating anything since sakurai is making the game and what ever he says goes, our opinion means **** rite?
End of.
