[[File:Z button Classic.png|thumb|250px|The Classic Controller's ZL and ZR buttons.]]
The '''ZL button''' refers to one of two circular buttons on the top of the [[Classic Controller]] and [[New Nintendo 3DS]] and the button above the [[L button]] on the [[Wii U GamePad]], [[Wii U Pro Controller]], [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] and left [[Joy-Con]]. The ZL button matches the color of the Classic Controller, Wii U Pro Controller and Wii U GamePad, while they are dark gray on the Joy-Cons and Switch Pro Controller.
 
==Overview==
The ZL button initially functioned identically to the [[Z button]], which is to activate a [[grab]], in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}}, and for {{for3ds}} as of version 1.0.5. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' changed its functionality by instead making it activate a [[shield]] instead while grab was moved to the L button and [[R button]].
 
When using a single [[Joy-Con]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the ZL or ZR button (depending on which Joy-Con is used) is not set to any action by default. Instead, the [[SL button]] is used for [[grabbing]] and the [[SR button]] is used for [[Shield|shielding]]. In this configuration, the L, R, ZL and ZR buttons cannot be set to ''[[grab]]''.
 
In ''Brawl'', ''For Wii U'', and ''Ultimate'', ZL can be customized in the [[Controls]] to perform other functions, while in ''For 3DS'', ZL is coded to do the same functions as the R button, as the game was released before the New Nintendo 3DS introduced a ZL button to the system. Prior to [[version]] 1.0.5 of the game, this button's functions were reversed, so ZL would trigger the same actions as L, though their functions outside of battle (such as in menus) were the same as in current versions. On the [[character selection screen]] in ''Smash 3DS'', the ZL and ZR buttons are also used to scan [[amiibo]] to the lower screen and register them for battles. While not directly related, [[Nintendo Switch]] hardware version 10.0.0 introduced the ability to map the functionality of any button to any other button from the console options menu, further diversifying how the ZL button can be used in ''Ultimate''.
