A combined Sheilda position is featured on the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]], and the position first appeared in its [[List_of_SSBB_tier_lists_(NTSC)#Fifth_tier_list_.28September_24.2C_2010.29.5B5.5D|fifth tier list]]. Currently, Sheilda is ranked 24th on the eighth tier list, placing directly above {{SSBB|Sheik}} (25th) and thirteen places higher than {{SSBB|Zelda}} (37th). Sheilda, however, is not given a specific mean of votes, and is intentionally placed above Sheik under the idea that Zelda's few advantages would make a mixed playstyle of the two characters slightly more viable than Sheik alone. Earlier revisions of the list featured significant divides between the two spots, with the seventh list featuring a gap of four places between Sheilda (21st) and Sheik (25th). Despite this theoretical advantage, Sheilda has rarely been used at tournaments; research by {{Sm|John12346}} showed that both Zelda and Sheik were [http://smashboards.com/threads/success-popularity-stuff-final-update-coming-later-today.295425/ used more often] as singular characters than as a combined unit in ''Brawl'' tournaments. The reason can be attributed to Zelda's poor tournament viability, as the character has consistently ranked as the second-least viable character in ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[metagame]] since the fifth tier list in 2010.

Sheilda is effectively unused in ''Melee'', owing to Sheik's high viability both in the general metagame and in comparison to Zelda; Sheik places fourth on the tier list compared to Zelda's twenty-second position. Owing to this, the ''Melee'' tier list has not recognized a position for the playstyle in any of its revisions.

As Zelda and Sheik were split up starting with ''SSB4'', this term no longer applies for future games.
