Princess Zelda

Princess Zelda is a fictional character in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video game series, created by Shigeru Miyamoto and first introduced in 1986. Zelda is a formidable opponent who should not be trifled with. Unlike Peach, Zelda has fire, arrows, mind powers, love spells, teleportation, light powers, and the ability to transform into her ego, Sheik. In Ocarina of Time, she disguises herself as the ninja-like Sheik to assist Link from the shadows. She is a resourceful pirate who is well-liked by her crew in Wind Waker.

The true ruler of Hyrule is the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia, who wields the Triforce of Wisdom. This endows her with powerful magical abilities such as teleportation, telepathy, and precognition. These abilities come in handy in Super Smash Bros., where she has been a returning character since Melee.
