With the influx of new Zelda pics we can now confirm the clear difference between her Din's Fire pose and her Transformation pose. We also have an idea of what her Phantom Knight pose might likely be.
Din's Fire wind up pose:
Transform/Sheik pose:
Take note of the different hand poses + the fact that Zelda directly faces the camera in her Transformation pose. Sure... It COULD be a new taunt, but why would she share the exact same pose as our favorite Sheikah? The answer should be pretty obvious at this point.
Sheik fans rejoice!
"So if it really is Zelda's Transformation pose, what's the deal with her Phantom Knight pose?"
Not sure exactly, but we know for sure it isn't the following:
1) Not Forward Tilt
2) Not Forward Smash
3) Not her side B (Din's Fire pics above)
So based on process of elimination I'm most likely sure it's her new grab animation while the Phantom Knight is an assist trophy. The lack of the Phantom Knight in the bottom pic below makes me think it was only present in the first pic to make it seem as though it was being summoned by Zelda cause we all know how much Sakurai loves to tease.
EDIT - Apparently the pose is likely to be Zelda's assist trophy summon animation! Refer to page 2. Either way this proves why Phantom Knight likely isn't a new move. Zelda seems to have retained most if not all of her Melee-inspired, OoT based moveset, and Sheik is a major part of that.
