Sheik and Ganondorf set to Brawl! (when they're ready)

TwilightPrince | August 03, 2007 | News | Wii 
Sheik fans, you could rest easy now. In a recent interview with Eiji Aonuma, director of the Legend of Zelda series, it was confirmed that both Sheik and Ganondorf will be playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, according to Aonuma, their designs will be changed just a little bit to fit in the Brawl environment.
I’ve been working with Sakurai for a very long time with this new Smash Bros., because the Wii came out and when discussion for a new Smash Bros. took place nobody could think of anyone other than Sakurai working on it. He was kind of the default, and I was very happy to hear that he would be working on it. Actually, my designers did work on the designs for Sheik and Link and Ganondorf. So they submitted the initial designs, and so it would fit in the Smash Bros. Brawl environment, they’ve had to tweak some of the designs. But Sakurai has brought those altered designs to NCL. We’re working very closely with the team of Smash Bros. Brawl to make sure the characters look their best.

    YES! I'm glad they are having Sheik in the game again. I used Ganondorf a bit as well. I always preferred him over CF for some reason. This is good news

    YAY! But I hope that Sheik is seperate from Zelda, and Ganondorf isn't a CF clone, just like popular wants.

    This I was expecting anyway, it would be stupid if they didn't count these lot in Brawl. Hopefully they'll give Ganondorf some moves unique to his character, and not a copy of another one.

    Now the question is, will Zelda transform into Sheik still, or will Sheik be a separate character. I kind of hope she can still switch between both.

    Probably not. The Zelda in Ocarina of Time could transform into Sheik, but the Zelda in Twilight Princess cannot. Chances are, they will be seperate. I don't mind, as I never used Zelda at all. I would just tranform into Sheik for the whole match.

    Great so see Sheik return, though. She was my best character. I just hope Ganondorf isn't some stupid Captain Falcon clone this time, and a character that actually reflects the actual Ganondorf. I don't remember Ganondorf ever fighting hand-to-hand. He always used either his sword or magic, and in Melee he used neither.

    Well, its good to know that Sheik and Ganondorf will return. I just hope that Sheik is separate from Zelda and that Ganondorf insn't a Captain Falcon clone.

    Yeah same as everyone here Sheik should be separate, ganon shoouldn't be a clone. Why they made Ganon a clone in the first p[lace i never understood, he is the last person I would have opicked as a Captain Falcon clone

    I loved playing Ganondorf in Melee, and I'm sure it's gonna be the same for Brawl.

    I hope Sheik is her own character, that way she can have more moves instead of one being dedicated to transformation.

    Ganondorf is in it, that is great to hear. One of the better characters from many games I must say. Shame they could not add a few more from the Zelda seris but then I guess there not main characters now are there =/

    Ganondorf was a better Captain Falcon than Captain Falcon was.
