4. Toon Zelda

5. Din

6. Nayru

7. Ezlo

8. Minish/Picori

11. Ralph

12. Alfonzo

13. Madame Couture

19. Chancellor Cole & Malladus

20. Yuga

21. Lady Maud

22. Byrne

Today, we'll be covering a pair of companions from Phantom Hourglass, whom I stuck together, mainly because they are closely linked in the game, Ciela being a young fairy who calls Oshus her grandpa, and Oshus being an old man who is secretly the Ocean King trapped in human form. Oshus acts as your mentor throughout the game, while Ciela acts as your "Navi"gator of sorts. Between the two of them, I think they have just enough.

The biggest thing for us here is Oshus's true nature as the Ocean King, which gives us all of the elements of his temple as well as his powers in his true form. The Temple specifically comes with safe zones that will protect you from Phantoms, wandering Phantoms themselves, and Phantom Eyes that freeze you in place and alert Phantoms to your presence. He also carries the Phantom Hourglass which allows one to traverse the temple without taking damage from the temple's curse. Ciela can also provide Link with sword beams and Phantom Spheres that freeze opponents, and her sisters Leaf and Neri can help stun enemies and halve the damage taken by Link. I think, between it all, we have plenty.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Phantom Hourglass

So, for this character we will have a mechanic in play. Oshus will have a little hourglass meter by his face, that will fill up with sand for every attack he pulls off. Once it is full, he will be able to activate it with this button, and he will become invulnerable to harm until the sand runs out.

Side B: Stunning Slash

He will slash with Oshus's sword, stunning and freezing an opponent in place with it for a second thanks to Ciela and her sisters' magic.

Up B: Teleportation

Based on his general ability to teleport from place to place, he will raise his staff into the air and disappear, reappearing higher up.

Down B: Safe Zone

He will cause a safe zone around himself that opponents will not be able to enter. Projectiles can still be fired in, however.

Final Smash: King of the Ocean

He will leap from the stage and crash back down as the Ocean King, creating two huge tidal waves crashing outward from his body.

Entrance: He will appear out of nowhere.

Taunts: Up, Ciela, Leaf, and Neri will circle around each other happily above him. Side, he will plant his staff as an ocean breeze blows around him. Down, he will chuckle merrily behind his mustache.

Thanks for reading! Next up, some less "companion-y" characters, starting with Nayru's protector Ralph.
