Princess Zelda (ゼルダ姫, Zerudā Himē) is an promient and the titular character of The Legend of Zelda series by Nintendo. She first appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series in the GameCube installment, Super Smash Bros. Melee. She is a confirmed returning veteran for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. She is often seen as Link's damsel-in-distress and love interest.
Character Description
Zelda's first appearance was in the original Legend of Zelda game, where she served as the damsel-in-distress for Link to rescue from the evil monster known as Ganon. She has appeared in every installment of the Zelda series (with the exception of Link's Awakening where she is only mentioned briefly.)
Since then, she has usually filled the role as the princess that must be rescue at some point in each game, but unlike Nintendo's other promient damsel-in-distress Peach, Zelda more frequently takes a more active role in Link's final battles with Ganon. (Such as in The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, where she attacks Ganondorf with Light Arrows) and has been shown to have very powerful magic abilities.
Like Link, Zelda's age can change throughout the different games. In some games, she is young girl and in some games she is a teenager.
She never been a playable character in any Zelda game, aside from a few CD-i games which many Zelda fans refuse to acknowledge exist. As such, her appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee marks the first time Zelda has ever been a playable character (the CD-i games notwithstanding).
Each game has a different generation of Link and Zelda, explaining their differences in each game.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
As a playable character
- Main article: Zelda (SSBM)
Zelda makes her first appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series as a starting playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Zelda is a slow, but powerful character who relies on magic. She is also a bit unique due to her ability to turn into another character entirely, Sheik. Her B move is Nayru's Love which causes a brief blue diamond shield to protect Zelda. Her B Forward is Din's Fire which sends a small, but powerful fireball at her opponents. Her B Up is Farore's Wind which will teleport Zelda up in the air. Her B Down is Transform which turns Zelda into Sheik.
In Single-player
In the game's single-player Adventure mode, Zelda is fought after completing the Underground Maze on the Great Temple stage.
Zelda is featured in the following Event Matches:
- Event 9: Hide 'n' Sheik: The player faces two Zeldas on the Great Bay stage. However, the KO will only count if Zelda is Sheik.
- Event 15: Girl Power: the player is tiny and faces Zelda alongside Peach and Samus on the Fountain of Dreams stage with two stock each.
- Event 20: All-Star Match 2: Zelda is the third opponent you must fight in this series of staged battles. Your character battles her on the Great Temple stage, and your character has 2 stock while Zelda has 1. With a timer of four minutes, you must defeat her and the other four characters with the overall time and life you have: Samus, Link, Captain Falcon, and Fox.
- Event 29: Triforce Gathering: As Link and teamed with Zelda, the player faces Ganondorf on the Great Temple stage.
- Event 44: Mewtwo Strikes!: Although Zelda appears, she is NOT the one the player must KO. After 15 seconds, Mewtwo will appear and you must avoid KOing Zelda at all costs.
Trophies
Zelda is a playable character, so she is featured on three trophies that can be acquired by beating each Regular Match with her on any difficulty. Her first trophy is earned by defeating the Classic mode as her on any difficulty, her second from the Adventure mode, and her third from the All-Star mode.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Main article: Zelda (SSBB)
Zelda has been confirmed to return in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a starting playable character. Just like in Melee, she has the ability to transform into Sheik. Her Final Smash is called "Light Arrow." This time around, she shows up as "Zelda/Shiek" in the Character select. One can select their starting form by clicking on one or the other. She can use Nayrus Love to reflect projectiles and damage near-standing Enemies. Din's Fire is working like in Melee, although it seems that his knockback is better. Farore's Wind is although working like in Melee.
