Template:Character-infobox Princess Zelda is a major character from The Legend of Zelda series created by Nintendo. Many different incarnations of Zelda have existed throughout the course of the series, but they commonly share traits such as they all rule over the kingdom of Hyrule, and they all have the power of the Triforce of Wisdom within them. The plot of her series is that she and Link must protect the kingdom of Hyrule from Ganon and prevent him from obtaining the two pieces of the Triforce not inside him.
Though her series is named after her, the starring role in the games is Link. Zelda serves as more of the series' equivalent of Princess Peach, but she usually has active supporting roles in the plot, sometimes even being somewhat of a sidekick to Link, rather than being solely a damsel-in-distress. For example, in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Zelda disguises herself as her alter-ego Sheik to aid Link without revealing her true identity to him.
History
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Template:Main-external Zelda is one of the newcomers introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Her design is based upon her appearance as an adult in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. She is a tall lightweight character with slow movement but powerful attacks.
Zelda's moveset mostly uses her magical abilities, while her special moves are mostly based on the spells Link can acquire in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Her neutral special move is Nayru's Love, which puts up a magical barrier that reflects attacks and damages opponents. Her side special is Din's Fire, which launches a fireball that explodes after a time. Her up special move is Farore's Wind, which causes her to disappear and reappear higher a distance away. Finally, her down special is Transform, which causes Zelda to turn into Sheik, giving her a completely different moveset.
Zelda also appears in Stage 3 of Adventure Mode where she is fought on the second part.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Template:Main-external Zelda returns as a default fighter for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Her design in this game is based on her appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. While Zelda's moveset has not been changed, her Final Smash is Light Arrow, which fires a Light Arrow that strikes any opponents in its path.
The Subspace Emissary
Zelda and Peach were watching Mario and Kirby. However, at the arrival of the Halberd, both princesses ran down to assist them after the arrival of the Primid. However, Zelda is soon captured by Petey Piranha and put into a cage along with Peach. Kirby, who battles Petey Piranha, has the choice to rescue either Peach or Zelda.
If Zelda is not rescued, Wario appears and uses a Dark Cannon to transform her into a trophy and runs off with her. She is later seen on Wario's Cargo alongside Ness, who was also turned into a trophy by Wario shooting a Dark Cannon. However, King Dedede distracts Wario by turning Luigi into a trophy and using him to lure Wario off the Cargo. Dedede steals the Cargo, takes back Luigi, and drives off. Link later spots Zelda on the Cargo before Dedede takes Mario and Pit, who were defeated by Link and Yoshi just prior. Although he loses both his newly acquired trophies to Kirby, and the engine of the Cargo is then wrecked by Pit, Dedede manages to get away with the remaining trophies he does have and makes it to his castle, where he pins badges on Luigi, Ness, and Zelda to revive them later. Unfortunately, Bowser arrives, steals Zelda and brings her to the Halberd, having a short scuffle with Mario's team along the way (and causing Zelda to lose her badge to Kirby).
If Zelda is rescued, she will team up with Kirby and escape the stadium the Warp Star right before it explodes. They fly through the sky, and are chased by the Halberd, which both Kirby and Zelda land on. However, the Arwing with Fox McCloud inside is also following the Halberd. The Halberd shoots down the Arwing which falls down and crashes into the duo, and soon, Kirby and Zelda are back on the ground now in a grassland. While Kirby wanders off looking at other things, Zelda is shot by Bowser and she turns into a trophy. Bowser sends Shadow Bugs which take over Zelda and clones her.
False Zelda takes out a Dark Cannon and tries to shoot Link and Yoshi, however is stopped by Pit and Mario. False Zelda and the two fight however she is soon defeated and turned into a trophy, which soon dissolves. However, Link saw this and thinks that Mario is a member of the Subspace Army and that he killed Zelda, so he tries to turn Mario and Pit into a trophy with Yoshi's help. They are both defeated, however, and taken by King Dedede before Kirby's intervention, after which Link attacks the Cargo's engine.
Regardless of whether or not she is rescued from Petey Piranha, she still ends up in the Halberd with Peach. Meta Knight soon arrives with Lucario and Solid Snake as his entourage, fighting off both False Zelda and False Peach before freeing the real princesses. Zelda then goes off on her own with Peach until they are united by Fox, Falco Lombardi, Lucario, and Snake to fight Duon and have Mr. Game & Watch join their team, and Meta Knight retakes the Halberd. She then goes into Subspace and finds Tabuu, but is turned into a trophy along with everyone else by him soon after, leaving it up to Kirby, revived by the badge from earlier, to revive her. If Kirby also rescued Link, then both of them will revive Ganondorf, who learns of Tabuu and joins the other heroes into the Great Maze.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Template:Main-external Zelda returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, retaining her appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that was used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Although Sheik also returns, they are now completely separate characters, meaning that she can no longer transform into Sheik; her down special attack is instead Phantom Slash, which summons a Phantom to charge forward and attack.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
Template:Main-external Zelda has been confirmed to return Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as an unlockable playable character alongside the other previous fighters. In this game, her design is primarily based on her alternate dress artwork from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past[1], with elements from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
Special moves
Nayru's Love
Template:Main-external Nayru's Love is one of the three spells in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, appearing as Zelda's standard special move. Zelda creates a blue crystal barrier around herself that reflects all projectile attacks, while several smaller blue crystals appear around it that deal multiple hits to nearby opponents.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Nayru's Love, like all special moves, is given two custom variants that can be unlocked. The first is Nayru's Rejection, which has a shorter duration and deals less damage but pushes and flips the opponent. The second is Nayru's Passion, which draws in nearby opponents and attacks with an explosion rather than a crystal, meaning that the attack no longer has the reflection property.

Din's Fire
Template:Main-external Din's Fire is Zelda's side special move, based on the spell originating from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Zelda launches a fireball from her hands that travels as the player holds down the special attack button and explodes when the player lets go or automatically after a set time, damaging any opponents caught in it; the amount of damage increases as the fireball travels and more damage is dealt if opponents are closer to the center of the explosion. If the move is performed in the air, Zelda is left helpless immediately after the explosion. Zelda can also alter the direction the move travels by angling the control stick while holding down the button.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the fireball is visible as it travels, though it is not in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the first custom variant for Din's Fire is Din's Flare, which travels farther but cannot be angled and deals a set amount of damage regardless of distance. The second is Din's Blaze, which sends out a larger, visible fireball that does not travel as fast and lingers for a moment before dealing a more powerful explosion.

Farore's Wind
Template:Main-external Farore's Wind is Zelda's up special move, based on the spell from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When used, Zelda immediately warps to another location depending on the direction the player holds on the control stick. Zelda can damage opponents with the both initial warp and her reappearance. Sheik also has a similar move for her up special move called Vanish.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the first custom variant for Farore's Wind is Farore's Squall, which does not damage opponents when teleporting but instead pushes them away. The second is Farore's Windfall, which only teleports up but meteor smashes any opponents hit when Zelda reappears.

Transform
Template:Main-external Transform is the down special move of both Zelda and Sheik in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Using the move transforms Zelda into Sheik, and vice versa. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the transformation is faster as both characters are loaded at all times; in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, however, the transformation is longer since the game needs to load the other character separately mid-battle. During the transformation, the "puzzle solved" tune from The Legend of Zelda can be heard. Taking damage while the move is in progress immediately cancels the transformation.

Phantom Slash
Template:Main-external Phantom Slash is Zelda's down special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, replacing her Transform move from Super Smash Bros. Brawl due to the elimination of in-battle transformation moves. The move involves Zelda summoning a Phantom that dashes forward to attack opponents before it disappears, based on Zelda's spirit being able to possess Phantoms in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Phantom Slash can also be charged by holding the special move button, which results in the Phantom traveling greater distances. When fully charged, the Phantom's jab is followed by an upward swing for a second hit. The Phantom is treated like a projectile and as such is vulnerable to reflectors, and if the Phantom takes at least 13% damage, it shatters and the move cannot be used for nine seconds. A purple cloud aura appears over Zelda's hand for the duration of this recharge period.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Phantom Slash has four discrete stages depending on how long the player holds down the special move button. The Phantom is also now physically constructed next to Zelda as she charges up the move, and can be sent out mid-construction to attack at one of the earlier stages. In the first and second stages, only the arms and legs are built; in the first, the Phantom performs a punch, while in the second, it performs a kick. In the third stage, the Phantom is given a sword and performs a side slash, and in the fourth and fully charged stage, the full armor is built and the Phantom performs an upward swing with the sword.[2]
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the Phantom Slash's first custom variant is Phantom Breaker, which travels a set distance and deals more shield damage. The second is Phantom Strike, which is stronger but can only be cast right next to Zelda instead of at a distance from her.

Light Arrow
Template:Main-external Light Arrow is Zelda's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, shared with Sheik. When used, Zelda draws a Light Arrow with her bow from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and fires it in a stage-wide straight line, damaging and launching opponents caught in the line of fire in an upward angle. The arrow can fire through opponents' shields as well as any walls and obstacles. Opponents that are closer to Zelda receive more damage and greater knockback than those further away.

Triforce of Wisdom is Zelda's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, replacing the Light Arrow. When used, Zelda seals any opponents in front of her inside the Triforce of Wisdom, which rotates multiple times and gradually shrinks. Once it is small enough, the Triforce flashes and opponents trapped inside it are launched away.[3]
Super Mario Maker
Zelda appears as a Mystery Mushroom costume in Super Mario Maker. Zelda's costume can be unlocked by scanning her respective amiibo or randomly by completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert difficulty or higher.

Trophies
Name | Image | Game / Moves | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Zelda (Classic) | File:Trophy40.PNG | The Legend of Zelda 07/87 |
The crown princess of Hyrule. Zelda entrusted Link with the future of Hyrule after a revelation came to her in the world of dreams. She knows much about the Triforce; in fact, the only person who likely knows more about Triforce lore is Ganondorf himself, whom Zelda evaded in Ocarina of Time by transforming into her alter ego, Sheik. |
Zelda (Adventure) | File:Trophy41.PNG | B: Nayru's Love Smash B: Din's Fire |
Zelda is a bit slow and, because of her light frame, easy to send flying. On the other hand, her magical skills lend her reliable and explosive attack power. Zelda's easier to use if you focus on waiting and countering rather than pressing attacks. She can use Nayru's Love to reflect projectile attacks or as an offensive weapon. |
Zelda (All-Star) | File:Trophy42.PNG | Up & B: Farore's Wind Down & B: Transform |
Zelda's midair Lightning Kick centers immense magical power in the ball of her foot. If she strikes perfectly, the attack is as strong as can be. If her aim is slightly off, it'll be exceedingly weak. Farore's Wind again utilizes Zelda's magical prowess, this time by transporting her great distances. It's vital to know the lay of the land before using this move. |
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Bios
- Instruction booklet: The queen[sic] of Hyrule. Her light movements belie devastating magical attacks.
- Smash Bros. DOJO!: Just like Link, Zelda’s design has also changed.
She has a slightly more subdued color scheme.
Her movement capabilities are not that good, but her magic adds power to her physical attacks. There’s a reason why her hands and feet glow, after all.
Trophies

---|---|---|---|
Zelda | NES The Legend of Zelda | The princess of Hyrule. In other games, her role changes between titles. In Ocarina of Time, she was hunted by the would-be conqueror, Ganondorf.

Wii The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess | |||
Light Arrow (Zelda) | Wii Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Princess Zelda's Final Smash. She wields a mighty bow of light with which she can attack from afar.

The more enemies there are, the higher the chances to get them all with one shot. More is always better! | |
Robed Zelda (with hood) | Wii The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess | The princess of Hyrule, loved and trusted by the people. When Hyrule is invaded by Zant from the Twilight Realm, Zelda is resolute in opposing him...but she chooses to protect her people and must surrender.

Zelda (Wind Waker) | GCN The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | The rightful successor of the throne and descendant of the true royal bloodline of Hyrule.

Snake's codec
- Colonel: Snake, I see you're fighting Zelda.
- Snake: Yeah, I guess. Doesn't feel right fighting someone in a dress, though.
- Colonel: Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman. Zelda's attacks are backed by powerful magic. Her hand-to-hand combat may look weak, but her magic makes it cut to the bone.
- Snake: So this rose has thorns... Interesting...
- Colonel: ...This is no time for pickup lines, Snake.
- Snake: Don't worry. I know from experience that it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

Palutena's Guidance
- Palutena: This isn't quite the Zelda you're used to.
- Pit: I hear she no longer changes form in battle.
- Palutena: That's right, but she's got a new special move: the Phantom Slash.
- Pit: Where does she get the Phantom from?
- Palutena: It's hard to say. Magic?
- Pit: WOW! I didn't realize she was such a powerful magician.
- Palutena: I could do something similar, I'm sure. But it's pretty dark magic. Now, what part of you should I use to make your Phantom?
- Pit: My Phantom?! Uh, you don't have to do that for me, Lady Palutena!
- Palutena: Oh, don't be scared! I'll just equip you and-
- Pit: Uh what will it cost me?
- Palutena: Oh, I don't know. Maybe just your...soul?
- Viridi: Hahahaha! Look how pale he got! You're really scaring him! Listen, Pit, if you can knock Zelda's Phantom out, she won't be able to call it back for a bit. Keep an eye on her.
