So, you are basically comparing Daisy to some no name NPC in a random Zelda game

Am I missing something? When did I mention a Zelda character anywhere I said in my previous post? Unless you're referring to how I was fine with Impa in the previous post before that one which was a reply to your roster in which you put Impa in. I was literally just posting what was in my opinion that I liked and/or would be ok with, and/or disagree with your roster.

I think she would fit in on well in a game like Smash which celebrates as much as video game history as it can

Because, well she is basically a main Mario character at this point.

I still have yet to see how Daisy is at all important to Video Game history. Or how she's on a level that most of the Mario characters already in Smash are. Daisy getting merchandise, Amiibos, playable in spin-off titles mean nothing compared to notable presence in multiple mainline games. Notice how that's something that Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Bowser Jr., and Rosalina all have in common while Daisy remains relatively unacknowledged in these games.

The only Mario representative Daisy has an argument against is Dr. Mario, but even he represents an entire series of puzzle games that have been around since the early 90's and while I would prefer he had been an alt. costume. He is still Mario himself.

You could make an argument that we already reached the "bottom of the barrel" already, with obscure choices such as Lucas, Ike, Lucina etc. who didn't even have a fanbase until Smash.

All three of those examples were CENTRAL CHARACTERS TO MAINLINE GAMES FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE FRANCHISES.

If Smash Bros. was a Mario centered game. You'd have a point. But it's not. It represents all of Nintendo plus a little extension into gaming as a whole with the 3rd Party characters. Mario's the flagship franchise of Nintendo so naturally it's going to get a good chunk of representation. But that doesn't mean we should rush to put every character that's commonly playable in the spin-offs cause that often means less room for franchises that could use the Smash Bros. exposure to gain more popularity. Which both the MOTHER/Earthbound and Fire Emblem series have done. I would much rather we get introduced to new characters from franchises I've never played through Smash then overwhelm the roster with one series even if it is the flagship franchise.

And I just don't see how Daisy is at all important enough. No amiibo, no merchandise, no new mario party/mario kart/mario maker costume/any new mario sports game/any other kind of Mario spin-off that includes Daisy as a playable is going to change that. Daisy needs mainline game appearances. That or standards must lower alot for Mario newcomers. That'd be the day Daisy and Waluigi probably gets in Smash together. Showing us all that they've just about ran out of Mario newcomer ideas where we're including characters that have been spin-off fodder since the late 90's.

Daisy and Waluigi may now have their own amiibo, but that won't ever help their chances of being playable in a future Smash Bros. installment. They've been limited to spin-off titles only after all.

Strange thing is, despite of being a spin-off only character, Waluigi still received an Assist Trophy before any other Mario character aside from some generic enemies.

All that I know is that Daisy has better odds of having a mere trophy cameo than getting the playable treatment.
