:The design and coloring bare more of a resemblance with ALBW than LttP (even if LttP is outdated 90's coloring). The translation error is interesting, though.

2D games representation

I believe it'd be interesting to add a trivia referencing that this is the first time a "Imprisoning War"-era design has ever been dedicated a default costume status in Super Smash Bros. Previously, the series has only referenced 3D titles past OoT, with OoT sources in Melee, TP and WW sources in Brawl and Skyward Sword sources in SSB4. Zelda in particular has only seen OoT and TP-based designs. Although some alternate colors and costumes reference to older 2D Zelda games, such some Toon Link or even Zelda colors, this new Maiden-outfit Zelda still marks the first time a Zelda character slot is directly related to the 2D games o old and new, including A Link Between Worlds.

Addendum: If A Link Between Worlds's Hyrule Castle or any other form of stage based on the 2D series end up appearing as new stages, this would also mark the first time one of the top-down games is ever represented as a stage.

Not exactly, Temple is based of Zelda II after all. Guybrush20X6 (talk) 10:46, 13 June 2018 (EDT)
I mean top-down games specifically, including Zelda 1, A Link to the Past, Oracles, Minish Cap and Four Swords. Also, here's some more analytical proof that SSBU Zelda is actually based on her SNES design! I've already edited the main article to reflect this. Drezus (talk) 09:16, 14 June 2018 (EDT)

Potential translation error

According to this image, Zelda's design is actually inspired from A Link to the Past, not A Link Between Worlds like the localized Direct said. This is likely a translation error from Nintendo's part, but I thought it'd be worth sharing either way. ~ The Stoopid Unikorn ~ // ~ If thou wish to speak to me... ~ 20:31, 14 June 2018 (EDT)
