In a recent quick-fire video interview<\/a> with Overwatch<\/strong><\/a>‘s Game Director Jeff Kaplan, Game Informer asked the Blizzard VP not only which Overwatch character he’d love to see join the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> roster (which we already know is Tracer<\/a>), but also which Nintendo character from Masahiro Sakurai’s epic brawler would be a good fit were they to join the heroes in Overwatch or the upcoming Overwatch 2<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of the plethora of possibilities, Kaplan would apparently head to Hyrule if the possibility ever arose and add the Hero of Time himself to Blizzard’s team-based shooter. In a wide-ranging 13-minute video which sees Kaplan answer 110 questions, Nintendo fans might want to skip to the 3:10 mark in the video on Game Informer’s site<\/a> where you’ll hear this choice quote:<\/p>\n

“Nothing would make me happier than putting Link into our game.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To be clear, this came in the context of a rapid-fire barrage of questions and shouldn’t be taken as any sort of confirmation or intention of a crossover, but it’s interesting to think how Link would fit in with the other heroes in Blizzard’s FPS. Link does<\/em> have form when it comes to first-person shooting, and we’re not just talking about Link’s Crossbow Training<\/a><\/strong>. The green-garbed one frequently switches to first-person when it comes to wielding projectile weapons in his 3D adventures, so of all the characters in Smash Bros. Ultimate, we think he’d fit in quite well in Overwatch.<\/p>\n
