why is this tagged for cleanup? Kperfekt722 (talk) 03:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
- Probably part of a larger project from before the merge that involved removing the Pros & Cons section of all character pages and a general consensus to keep "player guide"-like elements out of the article in terms of some of the strategies listed in the bottom section. --RJM Talk 05:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
"Thus, many rarely use Zelda at all aside from force of will, gimmicks, or for her better horizontal recovery when Sheik is knocked off the stage."
Is this really necessary? Or am I just taking this out of context a little?
That statement seems really biased on Shiek's part...like Zelda is totally useless. I can play really good with Zelda (in my opinion, I think Zelda is loooads better than Shiek.) It just seemed a little off to me.
I was thinking of deleting it, but I decided against it and decided to discuss it.
Anyone? Thomas16521 (talk) 23:20, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
I belive that Zelda's viability as a stand alone fighter is decidedly below average. She does however, have some use as long as the player is switching between Zelda/ Sheik, so perhaps on the next tier list, Zelda and Shiek could have a placement of thier own like they have on Brawl's tier list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.56.92.44 (talk • contribs) 12:09 13 November 2015 (EST)
- First, please sign your comments with ~~~~. Second, please don't revive extremely old discussions. Finally, I can't disagree, but I really don't think we should mention that kind of thing unless we can prove it reflects consensus.

Combo section
It is just horrible. Do we really have to cover all of that? I suggest removal of unecessary ones.MegaTron1XD

1st Tier List
Why was she placed 6th on the 1st tier list? YoshiKong (talk) 12:48, 8 December 2014 (EST)
- I took a quick look though the relevant SmashBoards topic. Apparently, part of the placement was because "A lot of people put zelda and sheik together so it ended up scewing everything." So it may be an artifact of procedure more than a "Zelda's actually good". Toomai Glittershine

Clarification about the current wiki page of Zelda
Alright, I dont really know why people are trying to discredit Zelda over and over. But listen... I think it is important and RELEVANT to mention that Rienne DID win against the BEST GAGNONDORF IN THE WORLD with the character.(In a stream or not, I dont even understand that argument? wth) I think it says alot by itself, and this is not to be taken lightly. If the best of the best Ganondorf got slapped by a mere Zelda, theres a possibility that Ganon (and other characters) might not be AS MUCH of a counter to Zelda than we think?? It is also important to note her strenghts against her high tier matchups, such as her chain grabs, her kill confirms, her counter attacks, etc... Instead of mindlessly spit on her actual options against them. It is also important to document about her Aerial interrupt, since only Zelda and Samus shares this tech (wich is pretty essential due to its utility). It is also important to note her historically favorable matchup against the Ice-climbers. Like OKAY SURE, she does have weaknesses, but the point of this page is to document as much as possible.(especially her strenghts). She still does have some tools against high tier matchups, that you want it or not? @MemeDedede Please stop trolling, its getting old. Thank you. IceHoneyTea (talk) 15:30, December 30, 2020 (EST)
- By your Rienne logic, Roy would be a mid/top tier because Zain had defeated several top players with the character (in a Wi-Fi tournament as well, which is still different than offline play), yet even he considers Roy to be a really weak character. Just because one player beat another player with a low/bottom tier doesn't necessarily mean they have untapped potential. Furthermore, there's a difference between talking about Zelda's strengths and sugarcoating them. We try to keep a neutral point of view, and phrases such as "currently undervalued by many players" are rather biased. Cookies

Recent upates on the Zelda page
Okay, theres clearly some lack of communication. I will start by mentioning the facts. Rienne needs a spot on the Zelda page, especially in the current meta game. Since she is the only one pushing Zeldas meta, theres literally no reason to remove. Second of all, english is not my first language (it is my 3rd out of 6). If theres any grammar issue, dont be shy to edit the typos! Third of all, aerial interupt is a pretty big deal, especially if only 2 characters have this tech. I do not see the reason as to WHY it keeps getting removed. Fourth of all, if anyone has not been updated with Zeldas current metagame, please reffrain from pretending you do. I'm always up to discuss and talk about what should and should not be in the Zelda melee page IceHoneyTea (talk) 05:22, January 12, 2021 (EST)
- The root of the issue is that you're not listening to us and proceed to re-add subjective information, even after we remove them and for good reasons. Zelda loses to almost every top and high tier character. Period. Why do you think she's almost universally considered low or even bottom tier? Whether she used to have a favorable matchup against the Ice Climbers in the past is not relevant to the current metagame. As for your arguments, Rienne beating Kage on stream is not notable, why? It was a stream. Streams are not considered actual high level tournament play as they are meant to be casual. As for your recent edits, you're sugarcoating Zelda's negative traits and overselling her positive ones, not to mention there have been times where you downright removed her negative traits. Even if she has ways to deal with top tier characters, her negative traits are more glaring which hinder her and make them impractical to use against those characters. Furthermore many your revisions are blatantly filled with biased information (eg she is "undervalued by most players"). Such information is not allowed. This is not the first time we've had issues with users sugarcoating a character's weaknesses, for this Kirby incident it got to a point where we were ridiculed for making Kirby look better than he actually is.
- In short, you trying to oversell Zelda's strengths and sugarcoat her weaknesses and edit warring to get them to stay is considered disruptive behavior. Read and take the advice we're trying to give you, because we don't allow such behavior to continue on for long.
