It is Zelda's only aerial to have a large, strong and lingering hit. This makes it noticeably generous in covering techs on platforms, calling out jumps and catching landings, which her other aerials can struggle with due to stricter timing and/or hitbox sizes.

Up air has relatively low landing lag for its power at 12 frames. This makes it safe on shield if falling below opponents on platforms. At low percents, it can combo into neutral aerial, Lightning Kick, or into itself. However, it will quickly launch too far for true follow-ups due to its high base knockback. This also means that it will always send into tumble and can KO especially early near the top blast zone.
Up air has relatively low landing lag for its power at 12 frames. This makes it safe on shield if falling below opponents on platforms. At low percents, it can combo into neutral aerial, Lightning Kick, or chain into itself multiple times with good timing. However, it will quickly launch too far for true follow-ups due to its high base knockback. This also means that it will always send into tumble and can KO especially early near the top blast zone.


It is transcendent and cannot directly negate projectile hitboxes. Therefore, even Peach's weakest turnips, for example, can counterintuitively travel through the explosion completely unaffected. This makes the move unreliable in challenging opponents with landing projectile options. It also has slow startup, high ending lag and a late auto-cancel window, making it a bit risky to use if not falling.
