:Since Brawl's Sheik is a reference to TP's development, no. It still originates in the Zelda series, albeit as concept art.

== "Other franchises" section... ==

I don't think this section should have references from anything other than other video games and other official media based on video game properties (for example, the Sonic comics from Archie.) Otherwise this section would get really big and full of obscure stuff quickly. I'm also considering taking the Cartoon Network game off of there as well, since that isn't really a reference to ''Smash Bros.'' - other mascot fighters have existed for years now, such as ''Jump Super Stars'', and the concept of assist characters and super moves didn't originate in ''Smash''. ''PSASBR'' would remain, however, since it's a direct counterpart to ''Smash'' from a rival console manufacturer (of which there are only three, Nintendo and Sony being two) and its title is an explicit reference to this series' Japanese title, confirmed by that game's developers themselves.

:I think we should allow non-game-based references if the reference is blatant enough, but that raises the question of how we'd define such a thing.

==My Edit==

OK, so firstly, even though yes the sword was only used in Melee, it was still in the Spaceworld demo which predated it (and was supposedly going to be used in a Zelda title), so it's not really a reference at all to the series. Plus, we didn't include Sheik (two sections up) because she was based on concept art. As for Zelda, I really wouldn't call this a reference as she uses a LOT of things she's never used before in Hyrule Warriors (i.e. Dominion Rod, Wind Waker, Bombs, Hookshot, Regular Bow, Boomerang). Additionally, the spells are used in a vastly different fashion in Hyrule Warriors.

I won't deny that it's possible they're references, but it's highly suspect. Also, Zelda's Special attack with the Rapier is a single straight shot with her [[Light Bow]] (with a similar charge-up to Brawl), this could be a reference as well, but once again it is suspect. [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User talk:Laikue|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 23:21, 13 February 2015 (EST)
:Ganondorf has never used that sword in a released Zelda game, but has in Smash. Zelda has never used the OoT spells in a Zelda game, but has in Smash. What's unclear about this?

::Given how they seem to be taking everything from everywhere and squeezing it in somehow, it's kind of difficult to tell whether these particular things were a Smash Bros. reference or an independent thought process. Personally I think that Zelda using the spells is a more likely reference than OoT-Ganondorf having his sword.

== Zelda Spells ==

None of the spells appear in The Adventure of Link- however, some similar ones (Fire magic = Din's Fire, Shield/Reflect magic = Nayru's Love). However, there is no Farore's Wind counterpart, and there are differences (specifically the names). <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].

:I was thinking of the pendants. But I think it's worth a nod in the section. Perhaps we could mention it as a possible origin for the spells? [[User:LittleMacmain97|LittleMacmain97]], the [[Little Mac|World Circuit]] is mine! ([[User talk:LittleMacmain97|Talk]]) 14:51, 2 July 2015 (EDT)
::I mean, it's a potential origin in the Zelda games themselves, but not so much in the context of Smash where they're pretty clearly the OoT spells, which are then associated with Zelda herself in HW when they weren't in OoT. I don't see how that's relevant to the point we're making on this page.

:::I see it as worthy enough to at least get a mention on the Zelda universe page. It seems like an origin to me. Plus, it's a Link to the Past.

== Possible reference in PK Flash ==

So I noticed something while playing Mother 3 is that PK Flash is green as opposed to white like in EarthBound, and in Melee PK Flash is also green. Mother 3 released in 2006, about 5 years after Melee, so there is a possibility  that PK Flash being green might be based on its appearence in Melee.

It is still possible that it might be a coincidence though so... yeah  what are your thoughts?

== Smash reference in the ''Dillon'' series? ==

So, there's some concept art for ''Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers'' (which is viewable in-game, by the way, you just have to get good enough rankings on each stage), and one of them is of [[Dillon]] in a very similar pose to his trophy in ''Smash 4''. For comparison:
*[[:File:DillonTrophyWiiU.png|''Smash 4'' trophy]]
*[https://64.media.tumblr.com/bf7152c55d9dbe248873bef0a4cc449a/tumblr_p9iq2ocogv1teftymo2_400.jpg DDHB concept art] (This is probably the best quality it will be at until someone at The Spriter's Resource actually decides to rip this game)
Considering this is just concept art, but it is actually viewable within the game itself, is it fine to add it here?

== Fangames / ''Smash''-inspired games ==
To avoid starting an edit war, do ''Rivals of Aether'' and ''Fraymakers'' really count for this page? The specific idea here is to document direct references to ''Smash'', and I don't think games ''inspired'' by ''Smash'' should count because they don't directly reference the series. It's usually the opposite, actually, to avoid legal trouble. By extension, this would also apply to ''PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale''. If nothing else, a separate section for them would be preferable to me. ~ [[User:StrawberryChan|<span style="color: #e68;">'''StrawberryChan'''</span>]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan|talk]]) 20:05, December 26, 2020 (EST)
:Okay, well, I moved them to their own section, if nothing else. I'm still not sure they belong on this page, but I think that's a better solution. ~ [[User:StrawberryChan|<span style="color: #e68;">'''StrawberryChan'''</span>]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan|talk]]) 20:23, December 26, 2020 (EST)

I don't think, generally speaking, that we need to mention other platform fighters or crossover fighters just because they have general conceptual or gameplay overlap with Smash. This page is moreso for "this is intrinsically a reference to Smash" as opposed to a riff on the genre or concept. Kind of the difference between "this game has a cameo of a Metroid" versus "this is a sci-fi game focused on exploration".

:That's what I was thinking, too.

== Sonic's pose- a reference or not? ==
Recently added references to Sonic's ''Brawl'' artwork, but they were cut due to supposedly being similar to a piece from ''Heroes''.
This is the closets resembling one: https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:SonicHedge.png I'd argue against this since this one looks like it's a thumbs up combined with a crossing arms. The angle is very different as well. While Sonic has been thumbs up for a long time in artwork, ever since ''Brawl'' artwork has had the same camera angle, angle of quills, placement of shoes.
