Character Sheet: Agahnim

AGAHNIM

Today, we begin our very first run of Legend of Zelda character sheets, figuring out just what kind of movesets we can pull from all these characters and building a roster. For the moment, we have about fourteen:

1. Link

2. Dark Link

3. Princess Zelda (Currently honorary)

4. Marin

5. Sahasrahla

6. Old Man

7. Hylian Soldier

8. Ganon

9. Agahnim

10. Nightmare

11. Moblin

12. Stalfos

13. Vire/Keese

14. Thunderbird

Arguably the first major villain that's not Ganon, we have Agahnim, a servant of Ganon who presents himself as a kindly mage in order to get into the good graces of the King of Hyrule and overthrow him, taking the kingdom for himself and sacrificing Zelda to free Ganon from his imprisonment. In his major boss battle and throughout the game, we see him teleporting himself around, splitting into three copies of himself, casting laser-like spells, shooting lightning at Link, turning into shadow and warping around, vanishing entirely, creating a portal to the Dark World, and causing Zelda to levitate. Also the bat form that Ganon takes when he flies out of Agahnim's body could arguably be applied to him, I suppose.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Beam Spell

He will raise his hand and charge a ball of energy, firing off a beam for the next three taps of the button.

Side B: Lightning

He will cast lightning at his opponents from his fingers, trapping them in place for a second and dealing damage before launching them.

Up B: Teleport

Naturally he will teleport, disappearing and reappearing high in the air, his arms spread like bat wings, his cloak allowing him to float a little.

Down B: Shadow Warp

He will melt into shadow, allowing him to move around the stage for a moment without being hit.

Final Smash: Sent to the Dark World

He will bind an opponent with magic, raising them high into the air. After a brief second, there will be a bright flash and the character will disappear, sent to the Dark World and thus, out of bounds, docking them one life.

Entrance: A bat will land and turn into Agahnim.

Taunts: Up, he will spread his arms as a crystallized maiden appears above him. Side, he will put his arms together and bow subserviently, as if keeping up his guise. Down, he will gaze into a crystal ball.

Thanks for reading! Next up, the villain of Link's Awakening, Nightmare!
