Young Link/Toon Link are still in the same vein as Dr. Mario and Pichu, in that it's an alternate version of an existing character.


All Links are the same being, just reincarnated.
Being a different incarnation =/= being a different being.
Isn't just a theory all Link's are just reincarnations? Is there actual confirmation from Nintendo (like is it confirmed explicitly in any of the games or Hyrule Historia)?
I know zeldawiki.org treats it as speculation but that's not an official source.

So... What's the topic now?


I think he meant that Link and Young Link in Melee are the same character, whereas Link and Toon Link are different incarnations of Link.

(By the way, your avatar is awesome.)
Ah I see, then I messed up.

Thanks, love your soul eater sig.

It might even be Zelda pinching Wii Fit Trainer's booty whilst Luigi and Dedede touch mouth nose thingies!
Can you imagine all the kinds of weird pictures Miiverse users are going to post once the game comes out?

I notice now that Zant actually didn't have THAT much support in his main thread.

They were certainly LOUD enough that I remember the support though

For something big of an anniversary like this, you guys are really having low expectations. :laugh:
Better than hyping it up and then end up massively disappointed.

They say the higher you go, the more painful the fall... Or something like that.

Wold was going to be in Melee, but was replaced by Falco for looking to much like a recolor of Fox at the time.
At the time Luigi was just a green stretched out version of Mario with a sped up voice.

I set the bar low for a lot of things so it minimises the chance of me being disappointed while maximising the chances of me being excited because it won't take as much effort for me to be excited.

Child link, follows up with MM then TP.

Adult link: TL actually follows up after ganon is defeated. (i'm following the timeline)

Its like a time travel paradox lol. (i'm gonna get grilled aren't I? )
I have the timeline book

WW Link couldn't possibly be an incarnation of Link because he ceased existing in that timeline

I saw what you initially wrote. Don't lie.

"Selfish people"? As if to imply that everything we're doing right now if for charity?

Midna is the most requested Zelda character after Skull Kid and Ghirahim.
Actually, Midna pales in comparison to the likes of Tingle, Impa, and Tetra. Ghirahim is up there, though. But then again, so was Midna back in pre-Brawl.

Pretty much.

Link is sealed for 7 years in the Sacred Realm because he was too young to use the Master Sword. Afterwards, he defeats Ganon in battle, the Sages and Zelda seal him away. Zelda transports Link back in time, creating a branch in the timeline: one where Ganon is sealed and another where Link goes back in time and warns the King of Hyrule of Ganon's evil intentions.

In the first timeline, Ganon eventually returns and the gods flood Hyrule, creating the Great Sea and sealing Ganon away. The other has Ganon being executed and, since the Triforce is timeless, he gains the power from his acquisition of the Triforce from the other timeline, forcing the executioners to seal him away in the Twilight Realm.

It's a bit confusing, indeed.

Child Link would have had a much more awesome Final Smash with Oni Mask

Yeah, there has been a confirmation of it in Hyrule Historia.
I think there was even a confirmation before that.

In Hyrule Historia it goes into Demise' Curse and how he made everyone reincarnate so their descendants will always be at war.

I also finally got around to making my Wart Thread!

Did Princess Ruto die, or did the splitting of the timeline create different sages that were all glowing old guys?

TP was in development during the time Brawl's roster was made, so it wouldn't have been out of the question for someone from that game to be included if Sakurai wanted to.
Roy was included to promote a new game. Unlike Midna, he was an easy clone.

And I'm talking strictly popularity here. Midna was not popular because no one knew about her, so it would've made no sense to include her.

How is this even relevant to my point? I'm talking about character popularity. Midna is less popular then Ghirahim, Impa, Tetra, Tingle, Skull Kid, Vaati, etc.
Maybe they're more popular here.

That doesn't really confirm they're all reincarnations. Descendants could just mean future generations, not neccesarily reincarnations.

Smashboards members tend to be elitists. We don't recognize popular characters from other communities. Sorry.

I don't actually mean to be as harsh as the GIF seems, but that's not true. (I just love this GIF and wanted to use it.)
