Sure, it isn't like Pokemon where the player character and an NPC compete by beating the same bosses, but I see the idea of a rival as something that can make the premise of a Zelda game a bit better.
Granted, I think the way it was done in Skyward Sword had potential, but went away after Groose witnessed the first Imprisoned battle.
In my opinion, a rival should do more than want to compete for Zelda's affections with Link. Maybe it's because of the anime and shows I've seen but I'd like the think that Link's rival should be one he can face in battle, someone who is probably seen in the eyes of many being the superior knight. Someone he's pretty much in the shadow of. Or it could be more like Groose but more active or have his own reasons, possibly less heroic than Link's, for searching for whatever MacGuffins the dungeons have.
Do you think Link should have a rival a bit more often? If so, what kind of rival? How far would their rivalry go?
