Legend of Zelda Second Chance Round (Part I)

LEGEND OF ZELDA

SECOND CHANCE ROUND

We'll start with Osfala, and I suppose the other sages, appearing in A Link Between Worlds. Strictly speaking, they're the same group, I just added them for different reasonings. Osfala, I said "Sahasrahla doesn't have an echo, and he could easily fill that role, being his apprentice." So, for Osfala, I say:

YES

Then we have the other sages, which, alongside some others lower down on this list came from a realization that, with our four Goron reps and four Zora reps and so on, and all the stuff we did for that, we ended up with four full unique movesets, meaning that every single one of them could have had echoes, meaning Darbus and Ralis, generic species models, and some of the LBW sages could have been represented here. So, we will do that. Let's say for Rosso, Darbus can go to Darunia, the generic Goron can go to Darmani, and Rosso can work with either Yunobo or Daruk. Either way, Rosso gets a:

YES

In the same vein, if generic Zoras go to Mikau, and Ralis goes to Ruto, Queen Oren can fit with either Mipha or Sidon. The answer is:

YES

And then, by the same token, I remembered that Irene is literally Maple's apprentice, so:

YES

Then we come to Gulley, the son of the Blacksmith. Now the blacksmith would have his forge and hammer to work with, as well as the weapons he tempers for Link, plus the pouch item that Gulley drops, and I guess there's room to work there. I think I'm going to say:

YES

Sadly, Seres won't be joining her companions, as she basically boils down to "Damsel in Distress #1," getting abducted at the beginning of the game, and not doing much else. So, I have to say:

NO

Next up, the Helmasaur is a common enemy, a quadrupedal dinosaur creature with a metal plate covering its head. I had thought it could be an echo for the Dodongo, but at the end of the day, there just wasn't enough justification for that. So:

NO

And for Fierce Deity Link, well, there's a lot here that are basically "You know, that character really could have been an echo for that character. They don't have one yet." And for this one, it's Young Link. After all, Fierce Deity is Young Link, just a heck of a lot more powerful. So:

YES

Check back tomorrow for the next for characters on our list!
