*When Zelda's ''Ultimate'' design was demonstrated during the game's E3 2018 trailer, the Japanese version said that she is the incarnation from ''A Link to the Past''. Conversely, the English version, as well as the official website's English blog post focusing on Zelda, said she is the incarnation from ''A Link Between Worlds''.<ref name=UltE3>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o Super Smash Bros.

**Due to ''A Link to the Past'' portraying her in-game sprite with brunette hair and a blue dress, in contrast to her appearance in the game's artwork, it is possible that this was the main reason as to why she is mostly stated to resemble her ''A Link Between Worlds'' incarnation. | **Due to ''A Link to the Past'' portraying her in-game sprite with brunette hair and a blue dress, in contrast to her appearance in the game's artwork, it is possible that this was the main reason as to why she is mostly stated to resemble her ''A Link Between Worlds'' incarnation. | ||

**In fact, [[List of SSB4 tier lists (NTSC)#First tier list (February 1, 2016)|the first tier list for ''SSB4'']] listed Zelda as the absolute worst character in the game, while Sheik was the absolute best. | **In fact, [[List of SSB4 tier lists (NTSC)#First tier list (February 1, 2016)|the first tier list for ''SSB4'']] listed Zelda as the absolute worst character in the game, while Sheik was the absolute best. | ||
*Nayru's Love, Din's Fire, and Farore's Wind were all used by Link in ''Ocarina of Time'', never by Zelda herself. However, later spinoffs in the series such as ''Hyrule Warriors'' and ''Cadence of Hyrule'' depict her using these moves, likely influenced by their depiction in ''Smash''. | *Nayru's Love, Din's Fire, and Farore's Wind were all used by Link in ''Ocarina of Time'', never by Zelda herself.

* | *Conceptually, Link and Zelda "swapped" their Final Smashes in the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', Link uses the Triforce of Courage to attack with [[Triforce Slash]], while Zelda fires an arrow with [[Light Arrow]]; in ''Ultimate'', Link fires an arrow with the [[Ancient Bow and Arrow]], and Zelda uses the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] to attack. | ||
