Elfilin

ELFILIN

Though most Kirby games have always been 2D sidescrollers, even with 3D graphics or mechanics, in 2022, Kirby made a new stride, releasing a fully 3D adventure in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The story begins with a strange portal opening up and several residents of Dream Land being sucked through. Kirby awakens to find himself on a strange beach, and ends up rescuing a small furry creature from a cage.

This is Elfilin, who would end up becoming Kirby’s companion throughout his adventure. At the end of the game, it is revealed that he is a small piece broken off from the malicious entity Fecto Elfilis with no memory of his past life.

As a fighter, he would be small and light, sweeping around the stage gracefully. His moveset would pull from his own abilities and the general gimmicks and moves unique to Forgotten Land.

Likelihood rating: Good possibility.
