'''Zelda''' ({{ja|ゼルダ| | {{cquote|''A graceful princess with powerful magical attacks.''<br>|cite=Description from ''Melee's'' manual.}} | ||
'''Zelda''' ({{ja|ゼルダ|Zerudā}}, ''Zelda'') is one of the more unique characters in the lineup for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Zelda's most notable traits are her array of powerful magical attacks and her unique ability to transform herself into her alter ego, {{SSBM|Sheik}}. This alternate form is very different from Zelda, and each was intended to help balance the other's weaknesses, so that ideally one would change between the two based on the flow of battle. | |||
Currently, Zelda is 22nd on the tier list, in the F tier. Zelda's positive attributes include an effective KO move with her [[Lightning Kick]], as well as several powerful attacks that possess [[transcendent priority]]. Zelda's primary weakness, however, is her poor mobility; she possesses (along with Jigglypuff) the slowest dash speed in the game, and is a slow-faller. These attributes combine with her very high [[traction]], resulting in the shortest [[wavedash]] in the game (along with Peach). Additionally, despite Zelda's long range on her recovery, it is fairly predictable and easily edgeguarded and/or edgehogged due to its awkward ending lag. This contributes to Zelda having poor matchups against most of the cast, though she does have a few even matchups against some characters in higher tiers than her, such as {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}. | |||
Currently, Zelda is | |||

Additionally, Zelda has a slow falling speed and a high traction, leading to a very short, albeit fast, wavedash. | ||
One of Zelda's strengths is her | One of Zelda's strengths is her surprising amount of power. Within the air, her forward and back aerials of the Lightning Kick can KO at as low as 70% to 80%, and her up air has a large hitbox that can also KO opponents. On the ground, Zelda's up tilt is surprisingly powerful (on par with {{SSBM|Marth}}'s up tilt), and its long duration and large radius allows it to be relatively useful under most circumstances. Zelda's up and forward smash attacks are also surprisingly powerful and they have high damage output due to their multiple hits. Finally, her forward and back throws are rather powerful and have K.O. potential at around 100% near the edge (especially the latter). | ||
In addition, Zelda has some fast attacks, such as her down smash (which is the fastest in the game) and her forward and back aerials, which | In addition, Zelda has some fast attacks, such as her down smash (which is the fastest in the game) and her forward and back aerials, both of which, as mentioned earlier, are among the most powerful in the game. As an added bonus, many of Zelda's attacks have [[Priority#Transcendent priority|transcendent priority]]; combined with an average reach in most of her attacks, Zelda has potential to stop others' attacks with her own. | ||
Also, despite her large number of high knockback moves, she has a quite decent combo game. Her dash attack is her primary combo starter on the ground, all of her tilts are great comboing moves, her forward tilt send her opponents backwards, this can set up a back Lightning Kick and even combo into itself, her up tilt can juggle at low percentages and follow-up with a up aerial when it stops comboing and her down tilt can combo into itself until around 95% and can also combo into her down smash. In addition to this, Zelda has a good grab game, having the 9th longest non-tether grab range in the game. Her up throw has chain throw potential at low percentages, and her down throw has several potential follow-ups, such as a dash attack, Lightning Kick, or even a forward tilt and can set up stage spikes and early edge-guards. Her forward and back throws are quite powerful and can set up edge-guards or even K.O. at high percentages. | |||
However, Zelda is | However, Zelda is held back by her very poor approach options. On the ground, Zelda has a slow dashing speed, a short wavedash, and a slow dash dance; combined with decidedly average range in her attacks, Zelda cannot effectively attack or counterattack on the ground. Zelda doesn't fare better in the air; despite an above average air speed, Zelda suffers from poor jumping height, a low falling speed, and a high short hop, leading to a poor SHFFL. Zelda's lack of an effective projectile also prevents her from attacking from afar; [[Din's Fire]] is far too laggy, weak, and predictable to be an effective projectile. | ||
In addition to a poor approach on the ground, a lot of Zelda's K.O. attacks are very unreliable. Her forward and up smashes suffer from SDI problems, as opponents can easily SDI out of them before the last, most powerful hit can harm them. Zelda's up aerial, while powerful, is nearly impossible to land on a grounded opponent, as it has some start-up lag and the hitbox is just above her. As such, Zelda's up tilt, down smash, her Lightning Kicks and her forward and back throws are possibly her only reliable K.O. moves. | |||
Zelda also suffers from having generally situational specials (save [[Transform]]). Nayru's Love can only harm attackers in short ranges, and it has high ending lag and it doesn't protect her from attacks above her. Din's Fire, as mentioned earlier, doesn't aid her approach at all and suffers from | Zelda also suffers from having generally situational specials (save [[Transform]]). Nayru's Love can only harm attackers in short ranges, and it has high ending lag and it doesn't protect her from attacks above her. Din's Fire, as mentioned earlier, doesn't aid her approach at all and it too suffers from high ending lag. [[Farore's Wind]], while covering long distances, lacks a powerful offensive hitbox on its start, and lacks one altogether when reentering, while the move also has awkwardly long ending lag, making Zelda very easy to edgeguard and/or edgehog. | ||

:''See also: | Zelda has a very subpar and poor matchup spread. She is hard countered by 2 characters(including her alter ego {{SSBM|Sheik}}), countered by 8 characters, and soft countered by 5 characters. On the plus side, she has 3 even matchups, and soft counters 7 characters. Zelda does very poorly against characters who have much better range and movement speed than her(largely on the ground), most notably {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Marth}}, and {{SSBM|Sheik}}. Ironically, Sheik is considered to be her most troublesome matchup, because Sheik has plenty of tools to carry out edgeguards against her(chiefly her forward air), and can effortlessly set Zelda up into numerous KO moves by using her notorious down throw, or her various aerials/tilts. Sheik's down throw easily sets up into a Uair/Fair, which can easily propel Zelda to her demise. Fox can also do most of these techniques against Zelda too, and he can also 0-death Zelda using his shine, which leads to him being another challenging foe to her. She also has problems with characters who can KO off of the top blastlines, exploit her terrible approach, or edgeguard her with simplicity such as {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBM|Falco}}, {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, or {{SSBM|Pikachu}}. To add further problems to Zelda, she is hard-countered by her alter-ego, and loses the vast majority of the matchups against characters ranked higher than her. Also, all of her winning matchups are either in the bottom tier, or are quite weak in the current metagame. (In more recent times, Yoshi has had considerable improvements to his own metagame and has far more advantageous matchups than the current spread indicates, leading to Yoshi being a counter to Zelda) These include: {{SSBM|Kirby}}, {{SSBM|Bowser}}, {{SSBM|Pichu}}, {{SSBM|Ness}}, {{SSBM|Roy}}, and {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}. Even with her strengths, such as powerful moves, a good grab game, and fast attacks, she still struggles to viably compete against other characters(especially most of the top and high tier). Overall, Zelda is a rather poor character who is nearly non-viable in competitive play, and has weak matchups against a vast portion of the cast. | ||

The second tier list rectified this and had Zelda tie with Link and Ness for fourteenth to sixteenth place. Following this, Zelda fell again to 20th on the third tier list, and has since frequently appeared on the 19th and 20th spots on the tier list. Zelda's position can be attributed to her undesirable combination of traits, being floaty and light yet tall, and having very slow movement speed, a poor [[wavedash]], and poor hitbox placement on most of her moves. In combination with Sheik being a constant in the top tier, this has deterred many smashers from using her in serious play. | ||
Zelda is currently ranked | Zelda is currently ranked 22nd on the twelfth tier list, in what is her lowest standing on the list thus far. Prior to the ranking, she was ranked 19th, with some smashers disputing whether this was an accurate assessment; American smasher {{Sm|Mew2King}} notably believed that Zelda [http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/may/02/kirby-and-zelda-are-two-worst-characters-melee-pichu-highly-underrated-mew2king-discusses-his-super-smash-bros-tier-list-pt-1/ was one of the two worst characters in the game], citing her poor frame data in his assessment. | ||

Her only modern players, {{Sm|Narcissa}} and {{Sm|The Lake}}, are semi-inactive and usually do not place high enough to earn money in large tournaments. Usually, the only time when Zelda shows up in top level play is when Sheik players transform into her off-stage to take advantage of her longer [[recovery]] where they would otherwise not be able to recover; if the opponent is aggressive enough, they may be forced to fight as her until an opportunity to transform back is available. | ||
