Ricky

RICKY

As you travel, you will find yourself needing to pick up a few animal companions who help you get around the map, the most prominent and popular of these being an excitable kangaroo with a pair of boxing gloves.

This is Ricky, an animal companion that Link can ride in as he leaps gaps and cliffs Link himself can’t get over, using his gloves to punch enemies out of his way. Much like Maple, this character’s chances were greatly improved by his appearance as a main companion to Link in Himekawa’s manga adaptation.

As a fighter, he will be fast and bouncy, with really strong jumping ability and a good amount of boxer’s strength. His moveset will pull from his abilities demonstrated in-game, his other animal companions, and his appearance in the manga.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.
