'''Phantoms''' ({{ja|ファントム|Fantomu}}, Phantom) are recurring enemies in the ''Zelda'' series.
 
==Origin==
Phantoms first originated in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass}}'', as guardians of [[zeldawiki:Temple of the Ocean King| a temple]] that [[Toon Link|Link]] must visit at various points throughout the game. They are shown to be indestructible for a large portion of ''Phantom Hourglass'', and getting attacked by one would result in Link being sent to the beginning of the temple. Phantoms in this game come in three variations, each with their own abilities.
 
They reappear in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks}}'' with the same function, although this time they guard the {{s|zeldawiki|Tower of Spirits}} and now come in four variations. After Link and Zelda head to the Tower of Spirits, they are ambushed by [[zeldawiki:Cole|Chancellor Cole]] and his apprentice [[zeldawiki:Byrne|Byrne]] who take away her body with plans to resurrect the evil [[zeldawiki:Malladus|Malladus]] on atop of the Tower of Spirits, which broke apart during the ecounter. Later on, during Link's first encounter with a Phantom where he was helpless, Zelda's soul proceeded to rush to his aid and accidentally entered the Phantom though its back, resulting in her finding out that she can [[zeldawiki:Phantom Zelda|possess the Phantoms]] while inside one. From that point onwards, Link & Zelda made use of the unique abilities of each Phantom type in order to progress though  the Tower of Spirits with each following visit on their quest to restore the [https://zelda.gamepedia.com/Spirit_Tracks_(Object) Spirit Tracks] and tower, and to reach the tower's top.
 
At the end of their journey before the final battle, Link & Zelda were able to free Zelda's original body from Malladus' possession. As Zelda has control of the Phantom from ''SSB4'' onwards, the move is most likely referencing ''Spirit Tracks''.
 
{{s|zeldawiki|Phantom Zelda}} uses a Phantom as part of her moveset in ''{{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors Legends}}'' under the name of "Toon Zelda".
 
==In ''Super Smash Bros. 4''==
===Assist role===

A phantom appears as part of [[Phantom Slash]], which replaces [[Zelda (SSB4)|Zelda]]'s ability to transform into [[Sheik]] as the 3DS hardware could not handle the transformation sequence. Rather than possessing the Phantom physically like in ''Spirit Tracks'', Zelda simply commands it to attack beside her.

===Trophy===
The Phantom appears as a trophy exclusivly in the 3DS version.

:{{Flag|North America}} ''Sturdy guardians of the Tower of Spirits. Anjean says that normally they wouldn't attack anyone with a good heart, but evil spirits have possessed them and made them dangerous. If Link manages to stun one, Princess Zelda will swoop in and...possess it herself?!''
:{{Flag|Europe}} ''According to Anjean, the guardians of the Tower of Spirits are attacking Link because they've been possessed by evil spirits. Luckily, Zelda can possess them too! When Link finds himself in a tight spot, she can use a Phantom's might strength to help him out! Not bad, eh?''

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''==

==Trivia==
*Normally when a Phantom is possessed by Zelda, the eyes of the Phantom glow. In ''Smash'' however, they do not, most likely because Zelda is commanding it externally rather than assuming direct control of it.
