Zelda (SSBU): Difference between revisions

*{{change|Many of Zelda's attacks produce brighter trails of magic.}}

*{{buff|Like all characters, Zelda's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes 3 frames to complete (down from 6).}}

*{{buff|Zelda [[dash]]es faster.}}

*{{change|[[Neutral attack]] is now a rapid jab with a finishing hit.}}

**{{buff|Neutral attack has fewer startup frames. Previously the slowest jab in the game, its speed is now on par with many other characters’ neutral attacks.}}

**{{nerf|Neutral attack has more endlag, is less safe on shield, and no longer reliably combos into dash attack or dash grab at low percents.}}

*{{buff|[[Dash attack]] deals more knockback.}}

*{{nerf|[[Forward tilt]] has slightly more endlag.}}

*{{buff|[[Down tilt]] has slightly less endlag.}}

**{{nerf|[[Down tilt]] now launches opponents a bit further away.}}

*{{buff|[[Up smash]] has more horizontal range.}}

*{{change|[[Grab|Standing grab]] and [[pummel]] have altered animations.}}

*{{nerf|[[Dash grab]] has slightly more startup frames and endlag.}}

*{{change|[[Forward throw]] and [[up throw]] have altered animations with her hands emanating bright trails of magic.}}

*{{buff|Forward throw has more knockback growth.}}

*{{buff|Up throw has more knockback growth and is now potentially one of the strongest up throws in the game.}}

*{{buff|[[Down throw]] deals more damage.}}

**{{buff|The changes to [[airdodge]] mechanics indirectly improve Din's Fire's edgeguarding utility. Since airdodges are much riskier to use offstage, this also makes it riskier to dodge through Din's Fire.}}

**{{change|Din's Fire's flame is more stylized in appearance.}}

**{{buff|Farore's Wind has fewer startup frames and less endlag.}}

*[[Masahiro Sakurai]] chose to base Zelda's design in ''Ultimate'' off of her ''A Link to the Past'' incarnation instead of her more recent ''Breath of the Wild'' incarnation because that version of Zelda, according to him, "is more into research than fighting."  

*The ''World of Light'' trailer marks the first time Zelda has spoken with dialogue in the ''Smash'' series.

**This is also the first time Zelda has ever spoken with an American accent. Her ''Breath of the Wild'' incarnation spoke with a British accent.  

*This is the first game where Zelda is no longer voiced by Jun Mizusawa, who had voiced her since ''Melee''; however, Mizusawa still voices Zelda's alter-ego, Sheik.
