*When Zelda's ''Ultimate'' design was demonstrated during the game's E3 2018 trailer, the Japanese version said that she is the incarnation from ''A Link to the Past''. Conversely, the English version, as well as the official website's English blog post focusing on Zelda, said she is the incarnation from ''A Link Between Worlds''.<ref name=UltE3>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o Super Smash Bros.

**The confusion likely arises from the fact that ''A Link to the Past'' and ''A Link Between Worlds'' are named "''Triforce of the Gods''" and "''Triforce of the Gods 2''" in Japanese, so both games can be collectively referred to as the "''Triforce of the Gods'' series" (which Sakurai refers to during said interview). | |||
**Due to ''A Link to the Past'' portraying her in-game sprite with brunette hair and a blue dress, in contrast to her appearance in the game's artwork, it is possible that this was the main reason as to why she is mostly stated to resemble her ''A Link Between Worlds'' incarnation. | **Due to ''A Link to the Past'' portraying her in-game sprite with brunette hair and a blue dress, in contrast to her appearance in the game's artwork, it is possible that this was the main reason as to why she is mostly stated to resemble her ''A Link Between Worlds'' incarnation. | ||
