Zelda franchise had 4 clones in melee, Pavolink's Logic XD

UGH. Don't get me started on this.

(You already have, though.) This annoys me so much. Fire Emblem just got 3 newcomers and 1 returning character from Melee in Smash 4, racking up for a total of a whopping SIX characters in Smash. Meanwhile, Zelda, a far bigger and more important franchise, is stuck with the same 5 characters since Brawl, and it's actually the same 5 since Melee (that's 15 years) if you don't count Young Link and Toon Link as different characters, because it's not a big change from one to the other.

And even then, 2 of these 5 characters are semi-clones, which is stupid because Ganondorf being a clone of Captain Falcon makes zero sense. I don't really know what it has to take for Zelda to get better representation in Smash, as not only does it have obvious mainstay characters that could come in (Ganon, Impa), but even lots of memorable one-timers like Midna/Wolf Link, Zant, Ghirahim, Tetra, Skull Kid, and so on. And I know their idea is to not focus on one-timers with Zelda, but that doesn't explain why Sheik is still there considering she's a one-game character.

According to tbone, Ghirahim or other potential newcomers from Zelda were not enough mainstream as more FE characters.
