The Legend of Zelda in SSBB

We already know that Link, Zelda, and a stage based on the Eldin Bridge from Twilight Princess will be included in the incoming new Smash Bros. game, yet it is fair to estimate that there will be more Zelda components on a variety of different levels.

What are some of the aspects from the Zelda universe that may be included in brawl and what are some of the aspects that you would like to see, but may not necessarily be in brawl?

(And for the record, it seems incredibly likely that Ganon will make it in and Sheik for that matter if that statement by Nintendo awhile back is actually correct.)

It would be cool if they had Ganon's castle or tower or whatever as a stage, with a bunch of redeads and other enemies to get in the way and make life more miserable

they could also make the wallmaster an assist trophy, and as you would expect, it would drop down, grab a character, and drag them all the way to the top and make them lose a life, and of course there would be a shadow to show where it lands and make people think "crap!" (like basically every other assist trophy)

And Ganon will hopefully comeback (which I also think is likely), and if he does,he would definetely be in his TP look, and maybe actually use the sword he has!

1) Ganon must make use of that completely bad-ass sword he uses in victory poses. It looks beastly.

2) Zelda should be more of a melee character and less of a magic user, preferably a little less agile than Shiek, uses her TP sword, but still retains a couple of her signature magic attacks. Preferably Nayru's Love and Din's Fire (projectile reflecting diamond and fireball respectively) Though you can customize them quite a bit more.

3) Shiek should be toned down a bit from a tier 1 character, for that matter, quick characters should not automatically be better than power-based characters. I'm sick of entering tournaments and having 90% of the entries being Fox, Falco, Shiek, Marth and Peach.

4) Young Link = removed

5) Link = a bit faster, he was lower tiered in Melee

6) Wolf Link and Midna should appear in some manner, maybe just an assist trophy, but it would be neat.

7) I like that idea for a Wallmaster assist trophy.

8) Shiek and Zelda should be their own characters, that way each one doesn't lose a special attack.

9) Use locations from older Zelda games for levels, as opposed to just Twilight Princess which is what most developers would be inclined to do.

EDIT: dot dot dot

What statement did Nintendo release concerning Shiek? Have you got a link by any chance?Link-from-Hell

Here it is.

Characters:

-Ganondorf (With Pig Ganon from OoT as final smash)

-Zelda, make more agile and maybe make Dins fire bigger and more effective

-Shiek, change the B and b moves to stuff a bit more useful

-Young Link, return but have seperate abilties to Adult Link. Posible new moves:

B, Slingshot

B left right, Bugcatching Net (just to be classic, deflects projectiles)

B up, Spin Attack (of course this has to stay)

B down, Pegasus Boots (can be charged, if in air instead you'll use a powerful sword downstrike like Link's down A already but much more effective and will push nearby foes out of the way if they're near your impact

Grab, Grappling Hook (can be held down to wait for opponent, whilst doing so he swing it around, this can also grab items for Link aswell as foes, can also be used to save from falls)

Stages:

-Tetra's Ship, I can really see them doing this

-Return of Great Bay

The coocoo assist trophy is interesting

or how about a Zant assist trophy where he will change what stage you're fighting in a few times (like he did in TP when you fought him), and when he disappears you'll go back to the stage you initially chosen, of course.

4) Young Link = removed

Nah.

Now that they've stopped using OOT's character designs, if they put him in, I would of thought it'd be cel-shaded link. Which would be pretty nice.

You want Shiek to be even more useful? On the competitive level, a Shiek player is often unstoppable thanks to the combos and speed available.

I have never seen an unstopable shiek or a shiek anywhere near that. Shieks attacks are weak but she has speed. Her combos are meh.

Gary's absolutely correct, I've played in a large number of competitive smash bros tourneys and Shiek is definitely a tier 1 character.I believe I said this earlier, but her, Marth, Fox, Peach and Falco all need to be toned down.

Btw, Shiek has many devastating combos as her disposal.

This would probably explain why I kick so much ass as Marth and Fox. :P

For the tier to really show, there needs to be some real expert players fighting each other. I have a friend who is "okay" at the game. He knows some advanced techniques, and he was trying to get comfortable with fighting as Fox. It takes quite a bit of work to master some of those tier 1 characters. I could beat him with a much lower tier character, but when it came to fighting another friend of mine, I have to be in the upper or top tiers to be able to beat him. The tiers do show, and you are right, they probably do need to be toned down . . . just a bit. :P

Yes, You really do need some expert players playing each other for them to show, but 1 expert player among a group of advanced players still will win the vast majority of the time. I'm an advanced player. I can hold my own against the vast majority of people, but I still have difficulty pulling off moves that essentially rely on "breaking" the game mechanics such as Wavedashing.

First of all, I really do hope Midna will be i SSBB, I mean, she could have really cool moves, and in TP she was more important to the story than Zelda was. I have said thid before somewhere, but I think her finalsmash should be to take on the fused shadows and become that migthy creature.

I hope they won't have a young Link, because he was to simular to adult Link. I wouldn't be to surpriced to see Vaati in the game. Ganondorf should return, but not as a lame Captain Falcon rip-off like in SSBM. I certainly hope Sheik will appear, but I doubt it. Honestly guys. It is ten years since OoT, which is the only Zelda game she has been in (unless there is something I don't know). There are other characters that is in some of the newer games and that migth come. Linebeck for instance, however he can't be in because he is a coward and he doesn't belong in a Zelda game. I hope for Tingle to be in Brawl.

Courses: The bridge of Eldin isn't that great, so I'd love to see another course as well. I surgest a twilligth realm stage. A stage with the ghost ship in PH would also be cool.

Assist throphies: If Tingle is not a character, he sure could be an assist trophy. Zant is also an option. He could be for the assist trophies like Clefeary is for the Pokemon. The frog people that help you warp could be there.

Items: I think it would be cool if rupees would be appearing. When you collect enough rupees, you get an item. For instance, ten rupees and you get a banana. Other items? I don't know, maybe the crossbow. I'm sure there will be some items from Zelda. The hearth container might return.

well anyone can kick ass with Marth, hes a noob character.

the Tier order goes Fox, Falco, Shiek, then Marth in that order. i dont see how Marth is the lowest in the triangle, seeing as he has pretty much good everything. average speed, the famous "marth tip," amazing smash attack, easiest to wavedash with, counter comes in handy sooo much, he's pretty much set up so noobs can just counter then smash, over...and over... and over again. luckily if hes used the right way, he isnt completely dominant.

well in brawl, it would be nice to see an appearance of link's TP Wolf form. sweet items could be instead of the bunny ears, the three masks that change u into a deku, goron, or zora. the deku mask can be the negative item, kinda like the shrinking mushrrom item, no one wants it....then for the rest...everyone already said it :P but for some off topic stuff i want in Brawl...an appearance of Lloyd and Kratos from Tales of Symphonia!!!! know one here can say that wouldnt be kick ass.

I dunno, I find most noobs prefer Roys higher damage over Marth's speed, but that's just between me and the people I play with.

Tales of Symphonia characters are an excellent idea; Kratos being the ideal includion (one of his costumes can be Zelos like Peach and Daisy).
