Midna, Tetra, Medli, Telma, Saria, and the Mario Bros and Princess Toadstool as portrayed in the Super Mario Bros Super Show and the Mario Bros movie.

Peach/Toadstool has a lot of potential to be a great character. I wish the writers would actually do something with her in the games. Their reliance on the "classic formula" to sell is starting to look lazy.

Link (mainly Toon Link because I find he expresses more personality)
Midna
Zelda's TP, OoT/MM and TWW incarnations (includes Tetra and Sheik)
Saria
Telma
Yoshi (for childhood reasons)
Rosalina
Luigi
Red (favourite male pokemon trainer)
Kris (favourite female pokemon trainer)
Zinnia
Cynthia
Steven Stone
Eevee
Lugia
I don't know if Trainer Yellow would count, because she's only in the manga version, so technically isn't a Nintendo character...?
Falco

Characters I think have potential:
Princess Peach
Krystal (from Starfox)

Midna! She is so booomb!

I like how she's practically the actual protagonist of TP. I don't think a female has had a stronger role in a Zelda game than she has.

And Telma... she's just... so cool.

because spoilers

Super Mario Adventures Peach is best Peach.

That comic was awesome and Peach wears Luigi's outfit amazingly (he wore her dress amazingly, too XD).

Midna is bomb! I have issues with some parts of TP, but it's the only Zelda game I've managed to finish more than once because of her. She's just so great. :)
