5 characters Nintendo should add to Super Mario Maker 2 after Link

Nintendo is updating Super Mario Maker 2 with a bunch of new content on December 5. This 2.0 version of the game includes fresh course parts like frozen coins and dash blocks. But the biggest addition is the Master Sword powerup for the Super Mario Bros. game style. This enables Mario to transform into Link. But unlike in the original Mario Maker, this time Link is bringing along many of his own abilities. And that is going to have a noticeable effect on how people make and play courses.

In Super Mario Maker 2, Link plays nothing like his Nintendo cousin Mario. Sure, he can jump like the 2D sections in The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. But he also has a sword for attacking and a shield for blocking enemies. Link can also dash and down thrust. Or he can use bombs and his bow to fire arrows.
