Sheik's just so much better in Smash and it sucks to not want to vote for Zelda much when Sheik's a personal favorite.

I believed Sheik > Zelda at the time I first planned the rally, which is to say between when Metalman lost and Zelda wrecked Squall revealing what BotW did for her. Sheik is still significantly better and very different in Smash thus the inspiration here -- still believe that.

This is a site where LoZ is the single-player king and Smash is the multi-player king. Yes, they should have new characters represented when they get the nominations. Also there are not as many LoZ characters (seven I think) as series like Final Fantasy,, Pokemon,, Mario, Smash, I think Metal Gear Solid...heck, Super Meat Boy's had seven characters too if I want to stretch the point. LoZ's always been underserved on characters given the size of its series here.

And one of the most fun things is rallying for a character to get in -- Doc Louis, Epona, Metalman, those were all fun to try and I got two of them in (one for a vote-in). We've about seen it all here and Sheik offers something exciting we haven't seen, plus I legitimately main her in at least three SSB games...so call it dying on a hill, but it's fun to shoot that shot in case the contests ever return.
