## **Character Info**

There have been many Zeldas throughout Hyrule’s timeline and while they’ve all had their differences such as being a pirate, a gift for science, or even being the incarnation of the goddess, every single Zelda can be called a princess. That said, not every princess of Hyrule is a Zelda, but when a Zelda is born… Honestly, the kingdom should be worried because it's pretty much a guarantee that disaster of some form is about to hit the kingdom and it's usually in the form of Ganon. Or Ganondorf. Whichever he’s calling himself these days. Luckily for Zelda, there’s always a Link to save the day.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

Zelda will warp onto the stage as she creates magical sparkles in between her hands and light energy to rise up around her feet. At the end, Zelda will smile and wave out her arms with a flourish as a small version of the Triforce appears behind her.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby will wear Zelda’s hair and jewelry on top of his head.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Zelda will place one hand on her hip while she waves her other hand through the air and channels golden light from her fingertips.

**Down Taunt:** Zelda will lean forwards a bit and wave her hand at whoever is there with a smile and giggle.

**Side Taunt:** Zelda will face towards the screen and concrete as she holds her hands in front of her and creates flames between them.

### **Victory Poses**

1. With a snap of her fingers Zelda will conjure a Phantom behind her as she stands in front of it with one hand on her hip.
2. With one hand on her hip, Zelda will wave her other hand through the air as fire trails from her fingertips. Zelda will quickly trace a triangle in the air as she creates a representation of the Triforce before it bursts away.
3. Zelda will clasp her hands in front of her and look up to the sky as if praying to the goddesses for their protection.

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Nayru's Love:** Zelda will spin around herself as she conjures a barrier of small crystals which spiral around her. This crystal barrier can hit nearby opponents multiple times for small amounts of damage as well as reflect projectiles with 25% more power and speed than they originally had.

### **Side Special**

**Din's Fire:** Zelda will hold out an arm forwards as she launches a magical fireball through the air. This fireball can be aimed up or down with the control stick to angle its flight path and when it makes contact with something (or just reaches its maximum distance) it will automatically detonate and damage anything nearby. This fireball can even be detonated early by letting go of the special input at any time. This fiery explosion also has a sweet spot to it that deals more damage if a fighter is dead center in the explosion.

### **Up Special**

**Farore's Wind:** The winds of the Goddess will surround Zelda as she warps from one place to another. Zelda is able to use this warp to cover a far distance and by tilting the control stick you can choose what direction Zelda will warp in. Otherwise she will go straight up by default. If Zelda warps right next to another fighter, she’ll end up dealing a small amount of damage and knockback to them the moment she comes out of the warp next to them.

### **Down Special**

**Phantom Slash:** With a tap of the special input a Phantom will begin to construct itself piece by piece behind Zelda. A second press of the button will see the Phantom (no matter how much of it has been built) to quickly zoom forwards and slash at whatever it runs into first with its sword. The Phantom has five levels of charge as it builds itself up and the more it is allowed to construct itself the more damage and knockback it will deal to opponents and the further it will travel. When the Phantom has been fully constructed it will delay its charge for a moment allowing Zelda a chance to provide some setup before it rushes forward and attacks.

### **Final Smash**

**Triforce of Wisdom:** Zelda will use the Triforce of Wisdom to create a triangular portal a short distance ahead of her. This portal will suck in nearby opponents with far-reaching shockwaves which fire periodically. Opponents who get too close to the portal will get sucked in and take a small amount of damage before being fired back out at high force and with significantly more damage. If a fighter with over 100% damage gets sucked into the portal then they will be immediately KO’d instead of launched away.

### **Extra Skill**

**Transform:** Zelda will be surrounded in a bright light that completely obscures her. This light will quickly be replaced by swirling winds which will dissipate to reveal Sheik. After this transformation sequence is complete the player will now be playing Sheik instead of Zelda.
