She retains the ability to transform into Sheik from Melee, now appearing as "Zelda/Sheik" on the character selection screen, and unlike in Melee, her starting form can be chosen. As with all other characters, Zelda received a Final Smash in Light Arrow, a powerful beam of light with near one-hit KO levels of knockback.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS

Zelda returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, being first announced on December 26th, 2013. She retains her appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but is no longer capable of transforming into Sheik, who has become a separate character entirely. As a result, she has a new down special move called Phantom Slash, where she summons a Phantom from The Legend of Zelda: Sprit Tracks.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Zelda is a veteran fighter classified as fighter #17 in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ayumi Fujimura (who previously voiced her in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds reprised her role.

Masahiro Sakurai mentioned that they are still researching Zelda's appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Instead, her design is based on A Link Between Worlds and her royal appearance in A Link to the Past; this design makes sure that people do not "underestimate her energetic attacks". Compared to her previous design from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Zelda was rarely expressive; like other characters, Zelda is more expressive. Zelda has more buffs than nerfs on her moveset, her moves also improved KO potential. Her Final Smash, Triforce of Wisdom replaced the Light Arrow. The Triforce of Wisdom seals an opponent, then blasts them away; she can knockout the opponent with 100%.

In the World of Light cutscene, Zelda spoke her English line saying, "Stow your fear; it's now or never!". There is a cutscene of Mewtwo and she tried to reflect the beams with Nayru's Love and Confusion. Both of them were caught onto Galeem's light beams along with many fighters sans Kirby. In the World of Light, Zelda can be found at the Sacred Realm of the Dark Realm at the bottom left corner taking place in a temple, the boulder blocks the path to Zelda. The player must defeat the spirit battle of Impa to clear the boulder, also leading to solve a clock-based puzzle. Zelda joining the party reveals the Triforce of Wisdom on the center of the map. Zelda's Classic Mode route is called Wisdom Prevails (狙われたトライフォース Nerawareta Toraifōsu?, Targeted Triforce).[1] Her opponents are villains or antagonists from various universes. Notably, Wario and Bowser appear in Zelda's route, but Wario is an anti-hero. Ganondorf is the boss of her route, who transforms into Ganon upon his defeat.
