Daily Debate: Which Final Fantasy Villain Do You Think Would Fit In Well in the Zelda Universe?
Posted on January 29 2022 by Andy Spiteri
Besides The Legend of Zelda, one of my favorite video game franchises is Final Fantasy, in no small part thanks to the fantastical stories and characters from game to game. While the quality of protagonists ebbs and flows from game to game (seriously Squall, cheer up bro), the villains are almost always awesome, which of course gets me thinking: which one of these guys would I want to see crossover into the Zelda universe.
A lot of these characters would feel pretty natural to me, actually. Sin from Final Fantasy X has some serious Calamity Ganon vibes; ditto for Ex-Death and any of the Blights. Ultimecia as an evil sorceress is something we’ve seen before in A Link to the Past, I’ve always thought that Zant took a little inspiration from Kekfa, and a corrupt, power hungry politician like Vayne seems like it would fit right in with Zelda. Of course, who I’m sure everyone wants to see is Sephiroth duking it out with Link, and while that would no doubt be awesome, I’d personally love to see Kuja put his magic up against Princess Zelda’s in a battle of conflicted characters.
This crossover will (probably!) never happen, but if it did, who would you want to see? Let us know in the comments below?
