'''Zelda''' ({{ja|ゼルダ|Zeruda}}, ''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 24th on the tier list, the lowest-ranked character in D-tier. Zelda's positive attributes include an effective KO move with her [[Lightning Kick]], as well as several powerful attacks. 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, combined with her very high [[traction]], result in her possessing the shortest [[wavedash]] in the game (alongside Peach). Additionally, despite Zelda's long range on her recovery, it is fairly predictable and easily edgeguarded and/or edgehogged due to its awkward endlag. This contributes to Zelda having poor matchups against most of the cast, although many recent developments have been made that may positively impact her ability to perform in the modern meta.
