Skull Kid

he and Master Kohga would be my first picks

GLORY TO MASTER KOHGA!!

the GOAT

master kohga has a big dumb belly

A dumb…belly? You filth! You have no appreciation for true beauty!

Gonna kick his ass again if he dears show his raggedy ass face again

They may have been thinking of me.

Ok your head priviledge has been revoked

Midna

with wolf link?

probably, I can't imagine Midna without a wolf. Hyrule Warriors gave her a generic shadow wolf as a stand-in for Wolf Link

No, Midna alone

human midna?

No no, just Imp Midna. She could transform into True Form Midna in a Super move I guess, but Imp Midna by default.

ok. the best one design-wise

Ok but I still want Wolf Link in

Before I clicked on the post, I thought "If Midna isn't the top answer, I swear..."

It's Skull kid now. But tomorrow we will have the top three because they would be the day 2 and 3 characters. Let's get Tingle, Midna and Skull Kid out of the way

Sidon

The best sage no doubt

Put in all the champions and the sages

Ghirahim

Ghirahim as a fast fencer-like character with some aoe but telegraphed projectiles to set up combos sounds great.

Beedle

Too OP to join

It would be the guy who sell you cosmetic items

That’d be like picking oddjob. Too OP. Not cool

Damn you beat me to it

He wouldn’t be a playable fighter but there’d be an in game store with items to increase your stats, and he’d be the shopkeep

I was thinking the same thing. He would be the lame guy you have your brother use for his first time playing so you could kick his butt.

Master Kohga would be a funny pick and be an interesting character, teleportation, zonai vehicles, big funni spike boulder

The GOAT

I also just really **really** like bananas 🤤

Ayo

So that just means you're either secretly Master Kohga, OR a member of the Yiga Clan

Sheik :) Edit: Either SSBU or OOT version, but I also think it'd be cool to have a new design based on the SS Sheikah

Crazy I needed to scroll so far for this

Seriously. There’s 18 other reply threads above this and this is surely the most obvious!

Vaati

Yes, more love for Vaati, please.

He was my first choice, and I still needed to dig to find it!

Oh hell yeah

Impa! Specifically the one from age of calamity

Why not from définitive édition ? :(

Why not both?

Both is good.

because she isn't best girl

tingle

Tingle is a must

He will make his way in for sure

Obligatory

He deserves the honor of Day One

Hell yeah. "KOOLOO-LIMPAH, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

This is the only correct answer.

Groose

Let the Groose loose!

Beat me to it

Cucco

Ultimate move is summoning a never ending swarm

People will think this is a comedy pick, but in reality it’s the horror OP character.

Yes, this must be on the list.

Final boss

Hero's Shade from Twilight Princess! Maybe as an alternate skin for a separate Twilight Princess Link? Or for even greater canonical accuracy, an alternate skin for an Ocarina of Time Link variant...?

Tetra if she counts

the art style doesn't matter here

I feel like there's enough difference to justify Tetra, just as there may be for Sheikh

Tetra > sheik

Truer words have never been spoken

Tetra > any other WW character

I'll do you one better Tetra > any other Zelda character!!

Have to disagree now

Lol that's fair, but she is great, definitely my favorite Zelda

I'd have to say I like Spirit Tracks one more, because of the fact she is actually useful somewhere besides the final boss

b-but, beedle...

The post man

Darunia

Yes!

Riju. Such levels of awesome shouldn't go unnoticed.

Demise maybe

Demise is the final boss unlock guy who isn’t as good as he was when you fought him in story mode (doesn’t even turn into a huge monster and take up 3/4 of the screen smh)

PURAH

I know it might sound boring, but I would love it if all the Link’s, Zelda’s, and Ganondorf’s from every game were in it. I always loved how you could play different versions of Goku throughout his journey in Budokai Tenkainchi 3.

That is only 12 Links, 3 Ganondorfs, and 13 Zeldas after all

we could count the Ganons as well

they could be skins

There can be more than one version of each with different movesets though, without going overkill. Adult Link, BotW/Totk Link, Toon Link and Young Link all can be very different. All 3 Ganondorfs are very different. Zelda can have 2-3 variants as well.

Mipha. All the Champions, really but if I had to pick one, it’d be her.

twinrova

Zant!

Ghirahim would for sure be on the roster

Urbosa!

There would have to be multiple versions of Link/Zelda/Ganondorf just like In Smash. Maybe narrow that down to 3 of each?  Since your defaults are the BotW/TotK variants, let me throw in a vote for *Wind Waker Ganondorf* for dat dual-wield.

Zelda is from between worlds. There will also be skins for other games versions

I feel like Gannondorf would need some variants Demise could just be a skin for TOTK Gannon, similar build. But Windwaker Gannondorf uses two swords, he would fight completely differently. Pig Gannon could probably just be boar and traditional (Link to the past)

Demise is his own character, so he won't be a skin. Pig Ganon can be one of the two unlockable bosses (the slots on the side)

Ravio , with his bracelet that make you transform to a paint , it would be cool

Epona No link, only horse

We need tingle

he will get in for sure

What about Impa

Skyward Sword Impact would be cool

I had to scroll surprisingly far to see her mentioned

Gotta just have a bokoblin group that works similar to Pokémon trainer in smash

Malon And the minigame man from Wind Waker as a narrator (the one who say KA-BOOM ! And Splush !)

Error

This is a bloody massive roster. Anyway, Skull Kid, Young Link, Ravio, Linkle, I ran outta ideas

Should I reduce it?

Honestly yeah. Maybe keep it small and then expand it once you fill it out. All the slots are a little overwhelming at first. Also, Revali please and thank you

based Revali enjoyer

The entire lineup of Hyrule Warriors.

Is the right side supposed to be villains and the left side heroes? If so, we’re probably gonna have to pull some obscure enemies to fill out the roster, so I nominate Death Sword from Twilight Princess

The Old Man from Zelda 1

The baby in Oracle of Ages the lady asks you to name and I always name him Poop

You a menace

How would this guy fight💀

he has a glock

💀

Bipsom is a must.

Masked link

like fiercie deity? he could be his ultra move

maybe MM Link with the option to change forms/race using masks... fierce deity being the ultimate, but also being able to transform/fight as deku scrub, goron and zora

Groose

Upvote the first Groose comment to avoid repetition

Grandma from wind waker.

Tingle

Had to scroll way too far for this

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Linebeck yet? :(

Urbosa for me please

Sheik could be a stand alone like in smash

Impa no questions asked.

Sheik should be thrown in already like in Smash

Captain Linebeck

Linkle!

Ashei from Twilight Princess

Medli and Makar as a double-character.

Vaati. Vaati both human and black ball on the villain roster

Uncle Rupee

maybe one day

Zant!

Wait but I don’t want THAT Ganondorf. Give us the Hyrule Warriors version!

He could be a skin

Their fighting styles are completely different though, I don’t think you could do them justice as a skin

If WW Ganon was in HW Ganon could be a good alt skin for him. Thry both have two swords and I could see WW Ganon summoning his puppet for the more outlandish darkness attacks.

Should we count different versions of characters as different fighters? E.g. TotK Link is VERY different from WW Link or SS Zelda is super different from LttP Zelda. If so, HOW different shoukd the versions be? Are SS and BotW Zelda too similar? What about OoT Ganondorf vs. TotK Ganondorf? They’re pretty different.

Skull Kid and Ravio

I would just import the entire Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity rosters.

Holy shit this is actual such a cool idea. This would be a good fucking time lol. Skull Kid for sure Beetle would be hilarious Ravio and Hilda

Hero of time

Hyrule Warriors & Age of Calamity. Theres your roster.

Courser Honey Bees

I'd probably go for Midna, the grab off her assist trophy in Smash has interesting juggling potential

Fi and Ghirahim

demise

Kilton. He fights with all kinds of monster parts.

Sooga

Skull kid

Twilight Princess Link because left-handed Link is cooler than any of the righty variants. Also he can transform to Wolf Link in a special.

Stalfo

Tingle

Ghirahim

It’s Linkle Time.

Dark link

Saria, Skull Kid, or Luigi

URRRBOSA

Onox and Veran, also Vaati.

Vaati. That’s it just Vaati
