As the metagame developed, though, opinions on Zelda began to improve, as several players continued to place well with her. {{Sm|ven}}, in particular, has won sets against {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Megafox}} and has had close sets with {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Glutonny}}. Furthermore, she has received noticeable improvements towards her consistencies (one of her key issues) in patches 7.0.0 and 10.1.0, which addressed her neutral aerial and forward smash, respectively. 13.0.0 brought additional consistency to her neutral game and ability to KO using smash attacks and her down air. Moreover, she has seen consistently good placements in tournaments and a notable growth in her player base over the past year. As such, many players now have a more positive opinion on Zelda, and she is widely considered as at least an upper-mid tier character, with players such as {{sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Salem}}, {{Sm|Goblin}}, and ESAM, the latter initially believing Zelda to be low-tier, now considering her to be high-tier character. Others, however, claim that Zelda is still too polarizing as a character and believe she’s still a mid-tier, though it is generally agreed that she is much more viable than her previous incarnations and is believed to be viable for the first time in the series. | As the metagame developed, though, opinions on Zelda began to improve, as several players continued to place well with her. {{Sm|ven}}, in particular, has won sets against {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Megafox}} and has had close sets with {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Glutonny}}.

As competitive play has gravitated away from online battles, the community has begun to gradually think negatively of Zelda. Many top players have subsequently pushed the character back down to a lower-mid tier, while some have even completely placed her in low tier. Although, there are some who believe she is still a solid mid tier. Overall, her current place and viability in the meta is highly debatable. | ||
