a Zelda fighter

[jehyeah]

Looking back on the many characters and enemies over the course of the 25 plus years the series has been around, the series could pull off its own fighting game separate from the SuperSmash Bros series.

It would definitely be a smash hit. *no pun intended

Here's some of the characters I would throw into the game

Link (Twilight Princess version) with the ability to turn into wolf form

Ganon (of course) with the ability to turn into beast form

Impa

Zelda with Puppet Zelda form as a special ability

Garo ninja

Fierce Diety

Chilfos

Orca

Ashei

Ghirahim with demon form

Lizalfos with wing form as a special ability

Zant with ability to summon twilight monsters

Death Sword

Dark Link

King Bulbin with his boar as a special

Helmaroc as a secondary boss like Goro (non playable or...)

Darknut

Stalfos

Wizzrobe

Phantom Ganon

Majora's Mask with Majora's Wrath

Odolwa with Goht as a summon

Moblin

Bokoblin

Gerudo Thief

Flare Dancer

a Goron (not sure which one)

big Poe

a ReDead

a Bulbin

Demise (final boss)

So, what do you guys think? Any other characters that should be included? I know I left out some more interesting choices, I'm sure.

Could a Zelda fighter work using only characters from the Zelda universe and not the Nintendo universe as a whole?

It might work, but I don't know. Zelda isn't really about the fighting.

[The O-Man]

No Vaati, no pre ocarina of time characters.....

GTFO!

The Mario series really isn't either, but Mario still fits in well with Smash Bros., as do many other non-fighting Nintendo characters. This doesn't have to be a totally serious game or considered canon. Just an ide.

And yeah, I did leave off quite a few pre Ocarina of Time characters didn't I. Vaati would be a good addition. Just have to imagine their 3D renderings translating over from the 2D side of things. I forgot Agahnim as well. He'd be a good addition too.

Fair enough. It wouldn't be horrible, and Link was fun in Soul Caliber for sure.

I dunno man, learn to program, make it, and give me it for free

I think we've already had one...sort of.

Yeah, Link's appearances in the Soul Calibur series have been grand. As well as Yoda's and Darth Vader's.

Just like with Link's, it had me wanting a better [all/i] Star Wars fighting game. That one a couple of console generations back was abysmal.
