SHOW ME YA MOVES!
Deja vous. Just like with the buildup to Skyward Sword, we've been shown a pale character with a jester outfit in a piece of concept art for A Link Between Worlds. We haven't seen any in-game footage of him, unlike with Ghirahim, but the vibe is all too familiar. This not to say it feels like Nintendo is just rehashing Skyward Sword's story -- far from it. I actually find what we've been shown very intriguing. It's just a piece of art with no information about it. It's pure speculation as to who and/or what this mysterious character could be.
It's kinda funny, really. He looks a lot like a cross between Ganondorf and Ghirahim. I doubt that means anything, but it's pretty humorous. But that's negligible; it's everything else that's so captivating about him. He's wearing the exact same style of earrings that Ghirahim did, and he has the upside-down Triforce mark on his outfit, which is also surrounded by the bird part of the Hylian Crest, further hinting that there may be a whole other kingdom in the Dark World this time around. There might also a connection to the upside-down Triforce on Demise's sword.
There are multiple things this character could be, including another extension of Ganon like Aghanim and even Ganondorf himself (although I find that unlikely), but given the circumstances, I'm thinking he's one of the Demon Lords like Ghirahim -- just, you know... without also being a sword. It makes sense that the Demon Tribe would be further expanded upon in a game where the Dark World is a factor, not to mention one that is coming hot off the heels of Skyward Sword. I certainly hope this is the case, because expanding the lore on this mysterious tribe even further would (most likely) help accentuate Demise's canonical influence, as well as give us the pleasure of learning more about a group of evildoers that has constantly been referenced throughout the series.
As for what he really is, only time will tell. We'll just have to wait and see for ourselves.
