Zelda (Super Smash Flash)

Zelda is a playable veteran starter character and one of two representatives of The Legend of Zelda universe on the starting roster alongside. She has the ability to transform into to gain access to a second set of moves. Her custom sprite appearance was the work of user SemiJuggalo and is specifically based on the sprites of Ciel from the Mega Man Zero series.

Zelda is ranked 15th on the tier list. Zelda has very powerful moves which strike very fast and allow her to KO her opponents quickly. Zelda also has the very powerful Transform move which not only deals damage, but can insta-KO under the right conditions. She can also use her Lightning Kicks to get cheap insta-KOs as well.

Despite this, Zelda is one of the slowest characters in the game, has no projectiles, and has limited range, giving her a terrible offensive game. She also suffers against sword users and projectile-oriented characters for the same reasons.

Still, Zelda has a very strong defensive game, and can transform into Sheik in order to counteract her weaknesses. Because of this, she ranks in the dead-center of the tier list.

Trivia

 * Zelda's sprite set for Super Smash Flash was at one point considered to be reused back for her return in Super Smash Flash 2, but this never came into fruition.
