If it is only later or earlier in the timeline, then no go. If it's from an alternate universe, then yes! So, we couldn't have the Link who was in Majora's Mask and the Link from Ocarina of Time because Majora's Mask is a direct sequel, but we could have the Link from OoT and the Link from Twilight Princess because the games are unconnected. (Did that make sense? It's kinda a tricky thing to say properly...)
Only downside here is that we could end up with like 50 versions of each of the X-Men, and other characters from hugely branched franchises like that. So maybe set a limit? No more than three or four of the same character, regardless of the number of canons.
If it's iffy, then talk it out with the player of the character who is already around.
