'''Zelda''' ({{ja|ゼルダ}}, ''Zerudā'') is one of the more unique characters in the lineup for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', from creating explosive blasts to wielding a defensive barrier and even possessing a moveset potentially twice the size of other characters. Most notable of Zelda is her wielding of powerful magical attacks, and her unique ability to transform herself into her alter ego, [[Sheik]]. This alter form of Sheik is very different from Zelda, helping to balance her overall weaknesses, and ideally, one would change between the two so to match the flow of battle. However, of the two, Sheik is a far more effective stand-alone character, to the point of being "broken." Thus, many rarely use Zelda at all aside from force of will, gimmicks, or for her better horizontal recovery when Sheik is knocked off the stage. Zelda have poor match-ups, predictable recovery, poor wavedash, dash-dance, few goods combos, but good KO power, priority attacks, and powerful and fast fair and bair.
