Character Sheet: Rouro

ROURO

Alright, so we did have one more semi-big character list in us. Let's get into it! This is all characters I could pull out originating from the Legend of Zelda manga, or were given just enough of a boost by the manga to make it into our rankings. They are:

1. Maple

2. Jolene

3. Ricky

4. Captain Stalfos

5. Manga Link

6. Riruto

7. Manga Zelda

8. Raska

9. Tou

10. Ghanti

11. Gonza

12. Kala

13. Captain Arjuna

14. Sir Raven

15. Biri

16. Com

17. Gump

18. Shemlon

19. Rouro

20. Ganon's Minion

21. Ganon's Heart

22. Ganos

23. Haggis

This one's . . . weird? The character comes from Himekawa's adaptation of Ocarina of Time, but not even from the story proper. He comes from a bonus chapter written after the story was finished and was just kind of tacked on at the end. The chapter features Link and Navi hanging out at Lake Hylia when a bird person (a Watarara, not a Rito, I guess) falls out of the sky. He turns out to be the prince of his tribe but incapable of flight. Link and Navi try to help him, but he acts like a spoiled brat for half the chapter, until finally he finds the motivation to fly during a thunderstorm and rejoins his flock. I mean, that was a thing, I guess.

Obviously, in the story, Rouro can fly eventually, but he also pecks with his beak and attacks Link and Navi with a flyswatter and bag to trap them in. And then, of course, there's the massive storm that hits the lake during the course of the chapter. I think we can make enough out of that.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Peck

He will peck forward with his beak, smacking enemies on the head and doing damage.

Side B: Flyswatter

He will attack with a flyswatter, the attack doing more damage the lighter a fighter is.

Up B: Flight

He will spread his wings and take off into the air. He can also glide for some distance.

Down B: Bag

He will lunge forward with a burlap sack and trap players inside, tying them up and keeping them trapped for a few seconds.

Final Smash: Tempest

The storm he used to fly for the first time will descend upon the stage, blowing strong winds that knock about even the heaviest fighters, all while Rouro flies around inside it.

Entrance: He will fall out of the sky and faceplant.

Taunts: Up, he will swing around his flyswatter as Navi buzzes around his head. Side, he will cross his arms and look petulant. Down, he will sit down and mope.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we cover a few unique offshoots of Ganon!
