# of reps per franchise means nothing anymore. Mario has 8. Zelda is pretty much their second biggest franchise in smash besides mario and smash itself. They have the data for all the zelda characters and they're all popular already. AKA why the f'uck not add them?
For why skyward sword...it's the most recent storyline zelda game...that's the only justification that matters. Characters are basically always given updated looks based on their most recent game. Ffs samus got a redesign based on other M. Ganon would have had a skyward sword design if he were a big part of that game's story too (disclaimer: haven't finished skyward sword, but point is he doesn't have a new design to use). Fox and falco's designs are like never based on their games afaik so their designs are never fully revamped. CarrionCrow's argument is true, but it also doesn't have anything to do with the motivation for those designs being chosen over other games.
