==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*If players registered by January 29th, 2018, they would receive a free Hyrule Saga t-shirt, free entry into doubles, and a venue fee waiver for [[Mega Smash Mondays]] 131.
*This tournament continued the "2GG curse", in which no Saga has ever been won by a featured player of the tournament. {{Sm|Mr.R}}, the highest placing player of a character from ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, placed 2nd.
*Ahead of 2GG: Hyrule Saga, the largest donation to the 2GG Compendium to date was made, with an individual donation of $2065 being made to fully fund the travels of Spanish player {{Sm|MVL}} and his guardian<ref>https://twitter.com/PEPESPAINSmash/status/978991516440961031</ref>.
**This was the closest that a player came to breaking the curse since {{Sm|Marss}} placed 2nd at {{Trn|2GGT: KTAR Saga}} on July 23rd, 2016.
*If players registered by January 29th, 2018, they would receive a free Hyrule Saga t-shirt, free entry into doubles, and a venue fee waiver for {{Trn|Mega Smash Mondays}} 131.
*Ahead of 2GG: Hyrule Saga, the largest donation to the 2GG Compendium to date was made, with an individual donation of $2,065 being made to fully fund the travels of Spanish player {{Sm|MVL}} and his guardian<ref>[https://twitter.com/PEPESPAINSmash/status/978991516440961031 Tweet acknowledging the large donation]</ref>.
*2GG: Hyrule Saga stands as {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Javi|p=Smash 4}}'s worst placing in doubles, as they placed 9th. It is also tied with Greninja Saga for Nairo's worst performance in Smash for Wii U doubles, 17th.
**This also made the rare occurrence of no Clouds in Top 8 of a doubles tournament with Cloud still being legal.
*Two live crew battles took place offstream at Hyrule Saga. Representatives from the Zelda community challenged the Ganondorf players, with the Zeldas winning with 5 stocks remaining. Afterwards the Links played the Toon Links, and the Links won with 3 stocks remaining.
*Controversially, {{Sm|Coco|p=Arizona}} and {{Sm|Water}}, who are two Arizonan players, impersonated players and playing under their tag, leading to many players (including {{Sm|Karna}}) losing unjustly. This led to them both being banned from all 2GG events until further notice.<ref>[https://twitter.com/2GGaming/status/1012088451355705344 Coco and Water Ban Notice]</ref>
