I strongly agreed about Metroid prior to Smash Ultimate. But now that Ridley is in (and fantastic) and Dark Samus fills in the echo slot, I'm pretty satisfied with Metroid reps. What I'm not satisfied with is where Zelda is right now...
Ganondorf's a nerd. He's been in three mainline Zelda games--OoT, TWW and TP--and he pretty much sits around sneering in all of them.
Ganon is the Gallant to Ganondorf's Goofus. He does everything right. He looks awesome and he shows up in way more Zelda games:
-Zelda 1
(-Zelda 2 on the Game Over screen)
-A Link to the Past
(-Link's Awakening as a shadow boss)
-Ocarina of Time
-Oracle of Seasons
-Oracle of Ages
(-The Wind Waker in puppet form)
-Twilight Princess
-Four Swords Adventures
-A Link Between Worlds
-Breath of the Wild
In short, Ganon appears in ALL THE BEST ZELDAS. He's been around since 1986. He can shoot fire bats and wield a trident and teleport. He can finally be the one to outweigh Bowser. He's bad and blue and super iconic!
And he's as different from Ganondorf as ZSS is to Samus. Zelda needs more reps already so I don't know why the second-most well-known villain from the NES era hasn't been represented yet~
Ganon for FIGHTER'S PASS. Ganon for PRESIDENT. Ganon Ganon Ganon. Ganondorf is non-canonical. Ganon is canon. Ganon probably owns a cannon.
