| '''Princess Zelda''' ({{ja|ゼルダ姫}}, ''Zerudā Himē'') is the titular character of [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|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 [[Ganondorf|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)]]''
| |
| [[Image:Zeldamelee.jpg|right|120px]]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 [[Temple|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 [[Temple|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)]]''
| |
| [[Image:ZeldaBrawl.jpg|right|120px]]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 works the same way as it did in [[Melee]], although it seems that the knockback has been improved. Farore's Wind also works the same way it did in [[Melee]].

| ===Trophy Info===
| |
| ''The princess of Hyrule. In other games, her role changes between titles. In Ocarina of Time, she was hunted by the would-be conqueror, Ganondorf. She deceived him, however, by adopting the persona of Sheik. In Twilight Princess, she surrendered to Zant and was held as his prisoner.''
