Other hallmarks shared by the various iterations of Zelda are their possession of both inherent magical abilities and the [[zeldawiki:Triforce|Triforce of Wisdom]], although these are not depicted universally. While earlier games depicted Princess Zelda as a damsel-in-distress, a number of modern games have depicted her as an ally, companion, and love interest to the series' protagonist, [[Link]]. | Other hallmarks shared by the various iterations of Zelda are their possession of both inherent magical abilities and the [[zeldawiki:Triforce|Triforce of Wisdom]], although these are not depicted universally.

However, Zelda also wears a simple blue dress in ''A Link to the Past''; white, robe-like dresses in ''Skyward Sword'' and ''Breath of the Wild''; and a blue tunic with black pants, as well as a dark blue dress with gold trim, in ''Breath of the Wild''. Her footwear varies between heels (''Ocarina of Time''), boots (''Twilight Princess'' and ''Breath of the Wild''), and sandals (''A Link to the Past''/''A Link Between Worlds'', ''Skyward Sword'', and ''Breath of the Wild''). Zelda is also occasionally seen wearing a cape, as shown in ''A Link to the Past'' and ''A Link Between Worlds''. | However, Zelda also wears a simple blue dress in ''A Link to the Past''; white, robe-like dresses in ''Skyward Sword'' and ''Breath of the Wild''; and a blue tunic with black pants, as well as a dark blue dress with gold trim, in ''Breath of the Wild''.

Her personality also changes between incarnations, more so than Link. While all are shown to be wise and compassionate, other traits vary from being calm and reposed (''Twilight Princess'') to wild and feisty (''The Wind Waker'', ''Phantom Hourglass'', and ''Spirit Tracks''). | Her personality also changes between incarnations, more so than Link.

Zelda's first playable appearance occurred in the non-canonical {{s|wikipedia|Philips CD-i}} ''The Legend of Zelda'' games, which are infamous for their poor quality. Her first playable appearance in an official Nintendo game was ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', while ''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks'' marked her first playable appearance within her home series. | Zelda's first playable appearance occurred in the non-canonical {{s|wikipedia|Philips CD-i}} ''The Legend of Zelda'' games, which are infamous for their poor quality.

For the first time since ''Brawl'', ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' features a new incarnation of Zelda as a playable character. Unlike her predecessors, this Zelda is an [[unlockable character]] and, more notably, not based on a single incarnation. Instead, this Zelda features a combination of design elements from her incarnation in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past}}'', and that incarnation's descendant in ''{{s|zeldawiki|''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds}}''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sourcegaming.info/2018/06/20/smash-is-special-part-1-sakurais-famitsu-column-vol-557/ | For the first time since ''Brawl'', ''Super Smash Bros.
