 **The confusion likely arises from the fact that ''A Link to the Past'' and ''A Link Between Worlds'' are named "''Triforce of the Gods''" and "''Triforce of the Gods 2''" in Japanese, so both games can be collectively referred to as the "''Triforce of the Gods'' series" (which Sakurai refers to during said interview).
 **Due to ''A Link to the Past'' portraying her in-game sprite with brunette hair and a blue dress, in contrast to her appearance in the game's artwork, it is possible that this was the main reason as to why she is mostly stated to resemble her ''A Link Between Worlds'' incarnation.
-*Zelda is one of two characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to be portrayed by a different incarnation of that character throughout the franchise, with the other being Link. Her ''Ocarina of Time'' incarnation appears in ''Melee'', her ''Twilight Princess'' incarnation appears in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', and an incarnation featuring design elements from both ''A Link to the Past'' and ''A Link Between Worlds'' appears in ''Ultimate''.
+*Prior to ''Ultimate'', Kirby's Zelda hat depicts him wearing the wimple her ''Ocarina of Time'' incarnation wears during her childhood, despite being based on her adult design in ''Melee''. This was changed in ''Ultimate'', as his Zelda hat is now based on Zelda's hair in ''A Link to the Past'' and ''A Link Between Worlds''.
-**Her ''Twilight Princess'' incarnation is the only one to appear in more than one game.

-**In ''Ultimate'', while the ''A Link Between Worlds''-inspired incarnation of Zelda appears as a fighter and the ''Breath of the Wild'' incarnation of Zelda appears as a spirit, the opposite is true for Link.
-**Zelda's ''Skyward Sword'' incarnation is the only variant of her that is not directly referenced in ''Smash'' at all.
 *Zelda and [[R.O.B.]] are the only playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to sport an alternate costume that would inspire a default design in a subsequent game. In this case, ''SSB4'' reuses her ''Twilight Princess'' incarnation from ''Brawl'', yet gives her an [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Zelda|alternate costume]] based on her incarnations in ''A Link to the Past'' and ''A Link Between Worlds'', which would become her default design in ''Ultimate''. Conversely, her ''Twilight Princess'' incarnation becomes the basis for an [[Alternate costume (SSBU)#Zelda|alternate costume]] in ''Ultimate''.
 *Zelda has more [[enhanceable spirit]]s associated with her than any other character, with a total of 3.

 *Nayru's Love, Din's Fire, and Farore's Wind were all used by Link in ''Ocarina of Time'', never by Zelda herself. However, later spinoffs in the series such as ''Hyrule Warriors'' and ''Cadence of Hyrule'' depict her using these moves, likely influenced by their depiction in ''Smash''.
 *Conceptually, Link and Zelda "swapped" their Final Smashes in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', Link uses the Triforce of Courage to attack with [[Triforce Slash]], while Zelda fires an arrow with [[Light Arrow]]; in ''Ultimate'', Link fires an arrow with the [[Ancient Bow and Arrow]], and Zelda uses the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] to attack.
-*Zelda and Sheik are the only characters whose voice actor remained the same in three installments in a row across all regions before being recasted. If regional differences are ignored, this also applies to [[Falco]] (in Japanese) and [[Marth]] (in international releases) as well.
-**Coincidentally, all four debuted in ''Melee''.
-**They are also the first ''Legend of Zelda'' fighters (and the only ones prior to ''Ultimate'') to have entirely new voice clips rather than recycled voice clips from a game in their home series.
