Soul Calibur 2 GameCube   Back in 1995, gamers got their first taste of Namco's latest fighting series. After the success of Tekken, made to compete directly with Sega's Virtua Fighter, Namco felt there was room for a different kind of fighting game. Soul Blade was a 3D weapons-based fighter with stunning graphics. Weapons made range a more prominent differentiator than ever before. Sequels followed that stuck faithfully to this formula, the second of which was Soul Calibur 2.  Link's triple-A status and sword and shield combo made him the prime candidate for becoming Soul Calibur 2's exclusive character on the GameCube version. While the PlayStation 2 version had Tekken's Heihachi Mishima and the Xbox version featured popular comic-book character Spawn, Link's inclusion ensured the GameCube edition sold more than the other two combined, despite being on a system unfriendly to traditional fighting games. [Back to top] Super Smash Bros. Series Nintendo 64 / GameCube / Wii   A cross between a beat 'em up, platformer and party game, the Super Smash Bros. series has consistently been Nintendo fan service at its very best. More than simply pitting classic characters such as Mario, Pikachu and Link against each other across a variety of themed worlds, SSB brings its own distinct style and mythology that is drastically expounded upon in the third game, Brawl. Following is a list of all the Zelda appearances in the SSB series, the game(s) they appeared in, and the Zelda games they were based on.   Playable Characters   Character Zelda Game(s) Smash Game(s)   Link OoT SSB, Melee   Link TP Brawl   Young Link OoT Melee   Toon Link TWW Brawl   Zelda/Sheik OoT Melee   Zelda/Sheik TP Brawl   Ganondorf OoT Melee, Brawl       Stages   Stage Zelda Game(s) Smash Game(s)   Hyrule Castle OoT SSB   Great Bay MM Melee   Hyrule Temple AoL Melee, Brawl   Bridge of Eldin TP Brawl   Pirate Ship TWW Brawl       Items   Item Zelda Game(s) Smash Game(s)   Heart Piece All SSB, Melee, Brawl   Bunny Hood MM Melee, Brawl       Trophies   Trophy Zelda Game(s) Smash Game(s)   Bunny Hood MM Melee, Brawl   Lon Lon Milk OoT, MM Melee   Tingle MM Melee   Tingle TWW Melee, Brawl   Moon MM Melee   Turtle MM Melee   Four Giants MM Melee   Deku Nut OoT Brawl   Master Sword OoT Melee   Re-Dead OoT, MM Melee   Octorok OoT Melee   Like Like OoT, MM Melee   Goron OoT, TP Melee, Brawl   Marin LA Melee   Majora's Mask MM Melee   Ocarina OoT, MM Melee   Majora's Mask MM Melee   Ooccoo TP Brawl   Light Arrow TP Brawl   Wolf Link TP Brawl   Robed Zelda TP Brawl   Midna TP Brawl   Ilia TP Brawl   Malo TP Brawl   Zant TP Brawl   King Bulbin TP Brawl   Agitha TP Brawl   Darknut TP Brawl   Bulbin TP Brawl   Ralis TP Brawl   Darbus TP Brawl   Ashei TP Brawl   Yeta TP Brawl   Shadow Beast TP Brawl   Outset Link TWW Brawl   Salvatore TWW, PH Brawl   King of Red Lions TWW Brawl   Great Fairy TWW Brawl   Pigs TWW Brawl   Valoo TWW Brawl   Link's Grandma TWW Brawl   Helmaroc King TWW Brawl   Heart Container All Brawl   Pirate Ship TWW, PH Brawl   Tetra TWW, PH Brawl   Aryll TWW Brawl   Medli TWW Brawl   Ganondorf TWW Brawl   Zelda TWW Brawl   Sages TP Brawl   Zora TP Brawl       Stickers (Brawl Only)   Character/Item Zelda Game(s)     Aryll TWW     Boomerang TWW     Colin TP     Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule TWW     Darknut TWW     Deku Baba OoT     Deku Link MM     Deku Nut OoT     Epona & Link OoT     Ezlo TMC     Fairy TP     Ganondorf OoT     Ganondorf TWW     Gleeok LoZ     Goron OoT     Green Rupee TP     Happy Mask Salesman MM     Hero's Bow TP     Hookshot OoT     Horse Call TP     Hylian Shield TMC     Hylian Shield TP     King Bulbin & Lord Bulbo TP     King Dodongo OoT     King of Red Lions & Link TWW     King Zora TWW     Lantern TP     Legend of Outset TWW     Linebeck PH     Link & Pigs TWW     Link LoZ     Link LttP     Link TP     Link TWW     Link with Goron Mask MM     Link's Grandma TWW     Lon Lon Milk OoT     Makar TWW     Malo TP     Medli TWW     Midna & Wolf Link TP     Midna TP     Moblin TWW     Octorok OoT     Ooccoo TP     Phantom Ganon OoT     Piece of Heart TP     Postman MM     Postman TP     ReDead OoT     Rusl TP     Salvatore TWW     Shadow Beast TP     Shiek OoT     Skul Kid MM     Skull Kid OoT     Skulltula OoT     Spinner TP     Tetra TWW     The Great Fairy TWW     Tingle TWW     Valoo TWW     Young Zelda TMC     Young Zelda OoT     Zant TP     Zelda LttP     Zelda OoT     Zora OoT     Zora Link MM         Songs (Brawl Only)   Title Zelda Game(s)     Dragon Roost Island TWW     The Great Sea TWW     Tal Tal Heights LA     Song of Storms OoT     Gerudo Valley OoT     Molgera Battle TWW     Village of the Blue Maiden FSA     Termina Field MM     Main Theme LoZ     Ocarina of Time Medley OoT     Title LoZ     The Dark World LttP     Hidden Mountain & Forest LttP     Hyrule Field Theme OoT     Main Theme TP     The Hidden Village TP     Midna's Lament TP     Great Temple AoL           Super Smash Bros.

Brawl (Wii) [Back to top] WarioWare Series Game Boy Advance / GameCube / Nintendo DS / Wii   The WarioWare series begun life on the Game Boy Advance with Minigame Mania, a rapid-fire series of 5-second games that became increasingly faster and harder until mortals such as ourselves lost all four lives. This template has been used throughout the series, with each successive game taking maximum advantage of its host system. For instance, Touched! capitalised on the Nintendo DS' innovative touch screen, and Mega Party Game$ four controller ports.   WarioWare Minigame Mania (GBA)   The Legend of Zelda As part of 9-Volt's classic Nintendo series, players take control of Link as he appeared in the original Zelda title. Using the d-pad to guide Link into the cave, hazards such a Zola fire and a Peahat must be avoided.     WarioWare Twisted! (GBA)   The Legend of Zelda Another game in the 9-Volt series, players rotate the console to shield Link from incoming Octorok attacks.     WarioWare Touched! (NDS)   8-Bit Hero By comparing the top and bottom screens, players must identify the different pixel of a magnified sprite and tap it to change it. Link is one of many Nintendo characters featured. The Legend of Zelda Players must tap on increasingly hidden fairies as they appeared in the first Zelda game.     WarioWare Smooth Moves (Wii)   Opening Night Here, the Form Baton becomes a conductor's wand, and players must conduct the orchestra in beat. Link is featured as one of the musicians. The Wind Waker By placing the Wii remote on their heads, players mimic Link holding a Deku Leaf in TWW. By tilting left and right, Link must brave the alternating wind directions to land on an diminishing platform. Ocarina of Time The classic game's most iconic moment is recreated here, as players are given the special opportunity to physically yank the Master Sword from its pedestal. Link transforms into adult Link, the never-before-seen elderly Link, and finally a flapping, yapping Cuckoo!
