Currently, Zelda is 24th on the tier list, the lowest-ranked character in D-tier. | Currently, Zelda is 24th on the tier list, the lowest-ranked character in D-tier. Zelda is one of the more unique characters in the lineup for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', with the exclusive ability to transform into her alter ego, {{SSBM|Sheik}}. This alternate form is very different from Zelda, and each was intended to help balance the other's weaknesses, so that ideally one would change between the two based on the flow of battle. Zelda's positives include powerful attacks, with the most notable being her [[Lightning Kick]], and a long range recovery move in [[Farore's Wind]], which can also be angled. Zelda however, is greatly hindered by her poor mobility; similarly to [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)]], she possesses the slowest dash speed in the game, and falls slowly. While lacking the impressive air physics Jigglypuff has to negate this. What's more, [[Wavedash]]ing is of little use to her, since the aforementioned attributes, combined with her very high [[traction]], result in her possessing the shortest wavedash in the game (alongside Peach). Additionally, while Zelda's recovery travels a respectable distance in any direction, unlike in later installments, it lacks a hitbox when she reappears, leaving her vulnerable to punishes when she tries to land and making it easy to edgeguard and/or edgehog. Overall, these factors contribute to Zelda having terrible matchups against most of the cast and being completely overshadowed by [[Sheik (SSBM)]]. | ||

Zelda does not fall under any specific archetype of characters, due to her unusual properties as a fighter; she has a slew of powerful finishers, such as her Lightning Kick, but possesses average weight. Additionally, Zelda has a slow falling speed and high traction, leading to a very short, albeit fast, wavedash. | Zelda does not fall under any specific archetype of characters, due to her unusual properties as a fighter; she has a slew of powerful finishers, such as her [[Lightning Kick]], but possesses average weight.

One of Zelda's strengths is her great overall KO power. Within the air, her forward and back aerials of the Lightning Kick can KO at as low as 50%, and her up air has a large hitbox that can also KO opponents. On the ground, Zelda's up tilt is surprisingly powerful, with its long duration and large radius allowing it to be a versatile move under most circumstances. Zelda's up and forward smash attacks are also powerful and they have high damage output thanks to their multiple hits. | One of Zelda's strengths is her great overall KO power.
