Zelda (ゼルダ, Zeruda) will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. She was announced on December 26, 2013, the date on which The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds was released in Japan. Sheik also returns as a playable character, but fully separate and not accessible via transformation. Unlike other The Legend of Zelda characters, Zelda did not get any notable appearance changes, sporting the same realistic look from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that she had in Brawl, albeit with general graphical upgrades.
Confirmed information

- Neutral attack

- Din's Fire will receive additional buffing, with its explosion now growing larger the longer the move is projected, and it'll now have a more powerful sweet spot at the center of the explosion, though the extent of the sweet spot's power and the explosion's greater potential size has not been explicitly stated.
- Has lost the ability to Transform into Sheik, with the latter becoming her own separate character. To replace Transform, Zelda has a new down special move called Phantom Slash, where she summons a Phantom Armor that shoots out like a projectile, before materialising and attacking. It can also block attacks, and it appears it can be charged to summon the Phantom at farther distances; the Phantom can be reflected as well.
- Zelda seems to have got a new air dodge animation,now doind a pose similar to Zero Suit Samus's air dodge's pose
Special Moves
In Super Smash Bros. 4, special moves can be swapped out for different variants, but Zelda's have yet to be seen. Zelda retains her final smash as well as three of her original special moves. Transform has been replaced with Phantom Slash, because Sheik has become her own character. These are Zelda's special moves:
| Special Move | Basic | Custom 1 | Custom 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral Special | Nayru's Love | - | - |
| Side Special | Din's Fire | - | - |
| Up Special | Farore's Wind | - | - |
| Down Special | Phantom Slash | - | - |
| Final Smash | Light Arrow | - | - |
