Z1GMA: 37 - 63
Comment: Zelda has her Usmash Combo on us at like 0% - Deals around 30%,
plus possible follow-up, so maybe 40%.
She can Dtilt Lock us from like 40% to like 80%.
Her Grabgame is effective Vs Ganon.
...Outside of this, Zelda has nothing, NOTHING on Ganon.
Her Usmash Combos:
Ganon can do pretty much the same to her at like 0% (via Stomp or Gerudo),
so we're pretty even at that point.
She is one of the easiest characters to juggle in the game.
We outrange and outpriorize her all day.
Gerudo -> iDA is fun when she's at around 95%.
If we get the lead, we shouldn't lose, 'cause she can't approach us really well.
Exalted: 35 - 65
Comment: The major things to look out for are her Usmash and Dtilt.
Nayru's Love is annoying , but that's about it.
Din's Fire has a HUGE blast radius at the cost of being slow and predictable.
She's pretty much helpless once you land a Dair or hit her far enough offstage.
A2ZOMG: 40/60
A boring and tedious matchup. Generally you have to work harder than Zelda because her Smashes are really stupid, but you have little to lose by waiting her out. Then juggling her and edgeguarding her is pretty awesome. This matchup in many ways is like going against Lucario, with minor differences. If you do well against one, you'll do well against the other.
Supreme Dirt: 45:55
This is annoying. It's easy compared to most matchups. Generally, you knock her into the air and she's used her doublejump, just FAir, BAir, or UAir, get her offstage, and she loses a stock because she's so easy to edgeguard. Don't let yourself fall into a DTilt lock, and avoiding USmash should go without saying. You must approach, she can camp you all day with Din's, but she doesn't have many options to prevent you from doing so. If you're good at spacing, this should be fairly easy to win.
Makke: ? - ? (Need more EXP)
Usmash is a trap!!
Surprising Dtilt into a quick Dsmash setup good edge guard on us, Powershield Din´s fire and DI away from her Dtilt, it CANT lock u if u use DI lol.
Zelda also have poor Defense (Tall, Light, Foaty)
Ganon outrange Zelda.....but watch out for her utilt!!, is a very good Killing move :S
Fujin:45-55
(50-50 on stages like Halberd or I'm willing to say 55-45 on Lylat and Brinstar)
It's pretty sad how good people seem to think Zelda is..
Seriously you guys need to go re read this.

In no way is this match up anywhere near 65-35 in her favor.
I understand the post is supposed to be brief but no one really seems to understand how bad she is.
D tilt lock from 40-80....???
Lrn2DI
*also Din's fire is only good in the IC's match up.
If the Dedede youre playing is ******** and spams waddle dee toss the entire time without realizing Din's fire over powers it, then yes I suppose it is "really good" in that match up.
If the Dedede is smart enough to realize he shouldn't use it in that match up it's useless for the most part.
For real though, she sucks, A LOT. There are people who legitimately beleive she's worse than/just as bad as Ganondorf.
