Smashtastic!
FINALLY, a new character!
A New Challenger Has Appeared, and it is none other than the Princess of Hyrule and bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom herself, Zelda!
What’s more, this just adds to the general unpredictability of these updates, as the already-known Snake, Meta-Knight, and Zero Suit Samus have yet to be added to the site, nor have the hinted possibilities of Yoshi and Ridley.
And it’s not even E3 yet.
So now… all bets are off.

My first thought was, since this appears to be the Twilight Princess version of Zelda, what will happen to the mechanic of transforming into Sheik?
Someone else somewhere mentioned an interesting corollary… Will Twlight Princess Link transform into a wolf?
I really wonder about the final roster of fighters. Fighting games rarely see old characters drop out of the lineup, and considering how Melee seemed to have half its roster comprised of clones, I would think we’d see the old version of Zelda be selectable as well, if this new Zelda actually does play differently. I really can’t see them dropping any old characters, like the rumors say… I guess they would need graphical updates and to have a Final Smash move added, but that seems like minimal work compared to adding the brand-new characters.
This is one paaaainful wait for release.
