I got a few Questions. You don't have to answer them all if you want.

1. If you were to make races inspired by the Races seen in the Legend of Zelda, what would they be?

2. How do you think the Zelda-style dungeons would work in a 2d game like Shantae?

3. What dungeons would you take inspiration from for Shantae dungeons in the Legend of Zelda series?

4. If you wanted to make a Shantae Game with the basis of any of the Legend of Zelda stories, what would its plot be?

The Hair spirit should be called "Niko" and the reason he's stuck in Shantae's hair is that Risky threw the Orb holding him at Shantae and she blocked it with her Hair.

Niko is considered a Wild God, because he was the cause of many ridiculous things, such as turning a lake into Lemon-Lime Soda. The other gods distrusted him, except for the Old God, Kornav, whom was imprisoned in the Undervale for unspeakable crimes that would make the game's rating an M+ (Speculation is allowed)

Kornav is inspired by the One who Waits from Cult of the Lamb.

Niko wants to find Kornav to free him so he tries to hijack Shantae's body, but fails, so he decides to team up with Shantae.

Mayor Scuttlebutt gives Shantae a temporary leave so she can rid of Niko.

In the end, Shantae and Niko find Kornav and realize that Kornav was imprisoned for a reason.

The other gods are dead.

When Kornav is defeated, he separates Niko from Shantae's Hair.

Now, Kornav and Niko are just together in the Undervale (They're like father and son).

Soo... what do you think of this?

Shantae game idea I have

It's Somewhat similar to Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks in concept:

Shantae teams up with a Train Spirit when a Giant Ghostly Demon Train starts causing destruction.

Shantae rides a Train that's constructed by Uncle Mimic and Piloted by the brother of Risky Boots, a train Engineerb named Ruckus Boots, as well as a reluctant Risky Boots (Her lair was raided), and Shantae has to explore new areas of Sequin Land, each with brand new races similar to the races in the Legend of Zelda series (Mainly the Deku Scrubs, the Zora, the Goron, the Rito, and the Gerudo) as well as some of her normal forms.

She'll also be able to transform into those Races.

Most of the Dungeon Bosses are enhanced forms of bosses from past games (Like a Jellyfish enemy that can use its Mucky Ink to turn into a Sludge form of Tentacle Monster)

This would be a great series finale.

Any Ideas for areas, races, dungeons, bosses, and even stories?

This is a Game Idea for the Shantae series.

This idea is inspired by the Legend of Zelda series
