Miss Chevious

Another thing that happened during the Christmas break was the announcement that Princess Zelda will be a selectable character in the upcoming iteration of the Super Smash bros franchise.

This doesn't change my stance on not getting a Wii-U but I am delighted to hear that my favorite Nintendo princess will be present in the new Super Smash bros - Zelda is after all, the representation of the Legend of Zelda what with her name being in the title and her being smart enough to get Link to do all the work (she's the representation of the Triforce of Wisdom for a reason!).

However I am puzzled by some of the images that have accompanied this announcement. Particularly this one:

What is going on here? Is Link knocked out? Or is he sleeping? Is Zelda going to cast some healing spell? Is she going to wake him up? Or is Zelda going to smack Link on the side of the head for not doing a good job?
Personally, this looks to me like Zelda is going to play a joke on Link - like she's going to place a toy spider on his shoulder to give him a shock. In fact I hope that is what's going to happen because it would be nice to see the Princess of Hyrule / Embodiment of Wisdom having a mischevious side that is never seen in the Zelda games.
