Well Zelda seems to be the perfect series for a newcomer seeing as it is one of Nintendo's flagship titles, they seem to have upped the fire emblem characters a lot this time and considering it is not as popular as Zelda outside of Japan you'd think they might have another Zelda newcomer. As for why Ghirahim is the most logical choice, do I even need to say? He is loved and has been since before even the release of SS when he was known simply as fabulous Debbie, he was highly requested by fans for Smash and he is also a villain, something this iteration of Smash severely needs, seeing as Bowser is the ONLY real villain in the game right now.
This is what makes no sense to me. Along with Mario & Pokemon, Zelda's a very popular series (outside of Japan, at least), but it can't have a new character to the Smash roster while an unpopular series like Fire Emblem (again, only outside of Japan) gets more new characters despite still not being well-known. It's like if there aren't any new Pokemon characters in Smash 4, but instead they have new characters for the Legendary Starfy despite not being all that popular in the West.
I get they want to appeal to the Japanese fanbase, but at least give Zelda some recognition. :/
