They already have that, it's called Soul Calibur 2! Sure, it's only got one Zelda character, but aside from Ganon who else ya gonna include? Maybe Sheik, maybe Link's shadow (kinda pointless as it would be like an alternate costume for Link) but no one else unless you throw in non-important characters like the enemies. Nah, Link's appearence in this game is plenty of Zelda fighting for me. He's got all the trademark moves, like the upward and downward thrust, the spin attack, the bombs, the arrows, the boomerang, the pegasus dash, and I think more from actual games of his. He's simply awesome. Aside from them being lazy on the alternate costumes (nothing more than a pallette swap whereas other characters like Spawn get a whole makeover, when they could have had something like one where he looks like Oni Link in Majora's Mask (with the 2p alternate sword being that double helix thing), or being just a tad lazy with his shields (only a few of his weapons have their own shield, one made up (there's no magic shield, at least not one that looks like the one paired up with the magical sword from Zelda 1), mainly I wish that instead of saying it's the blade's fault the hylian shield lost it's defense on a lot of them, just include an alternate shield for him, we all know the Zelda series has just about a metric billion of them, and the Fairy Sword could have had some made up Fairy Shield, rainbow colored with a large black rose etched in the front just like the scheme of the sword). Anyway, aside from those issues, purely cosmetic of course, he's perfectly represented as a fighter here. Plus, he just about killed the australian weapons salesman when he suggested his sword wouldn't do.
