Zelda (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Unlike her ancestor in ''Melee'' and her own appearance ''Brawl'', Zelda was immediately viewed as a non-viable character upon ''SSB4''{{'}}s release. This perception was because of the combination of her key flaws not being properly addressed, and {{SSB4|Sheik}} becoming a standalone character who was buffed significantly in her own transition from ''Brawl''. When coupled by her extremely minimal representation and results in competitive play, as well as the fact that players had not yet acknowledged {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}'s status in competitive play, Zelda was ranked 56th on the first [[tier list]], placing her at the bottom of the entire tier list.

Despite her almost non-existent representation and results, Zelda nevertheless received a multitude of buffs from game updates, which contributed to her results slowly improving as time has passed. To reflect this, Zelda was ranked 55th on the second tier list, a ranking she has retained on the third and current tier list. Overall, Zelda's inherent and subsequent buffs are generally considered to be outweighed by the prominence of her inherent flaws, which has resulted in her having very minimal representation. Although Zelda has only won a few local tournament thanks to the likes of {{Sm|ven}}, {{Sm|Fairess}}, {{Sm|Purple Guy}} and {{Sm|Zolda}}, both {{Sm|Onpu}} and ven have each achieved a few respectable results at regional and even national tournaments.
