Having previously appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Zelda reappears in ''Brawl'' as a character utilizing strong magical attacks, but despite her overall KO power being strongly [[buff]]ed, her [[tier list|tier position]] is a drop from ''[[Melee]]'' at 37 out of 38 compared to 24 out of 26 in the earlier game. While Zelda possesses fast, powerful attacks, some of the most powerful aerials in ''Brawl'', and a great defensive game thanks to strong out of shield options, Zelda suffers from a combination of severe character build flaws. These flaws include a very inconvenient combination of attributes similar to {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} (slow, light, tall, and floaty), her almost non-existent approach options, possessing a moveset that consists nearly entirely of unreliable finishers with poorly-placed hitboxes (which makes it difficult for her to KO consistently despite her abundance of powerful attacks, and leaves her with an almost non-existent combo game), a terrible projectile that cannot force approaches, one of the worst grab games, with a very slow grab and terrible throws, and her predictable and unreliable recovery (her primary recovery move suffers from major angular issues, and she does not have access to an alternate recovery move nor the [[air speed]] and [[jump]]ing abilities to make it back without using a recovery move). This has left her with terrible tournament results and having terrible matchups against many higher tiered characters, ultimately clocking her in F Tier right above the worst spot (with {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} being the only fighter ranked lower than her) - although the combination of her and her transformation, {{SSBB|Sheik}} is higher at 24/38, placed in the D tier (though this is based on theory rather than actual practice). While Zelda is ranked as one of the worst characters in the game in the American and European tier list, in [[Japanese tier list|Japan]] she is ranked significantly higher, 16th in the high tier along with Sheik, as they are considered as a single character. | Having previously appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros.
