Yay! I was right about getting below Zelda! It makes sense, her fast aerials can't really affect G-dorf from above. Oh, and thanks for the tip about the Arty VortexI would love to watch and critique your matches.
It's best to use Ganon's u-air, n-air, and his other quicker moves to take out the dins. You don't want those little fireballs to be around once one of you tries to go in. Nullify them quickly and as safely as possible.
One last thing (I can't believe I forgot this), Zelda DOESN'T WANT TO BE IN THE AIR ABOVE YOU. She has no reliable options. Dair comes out too slow, nair doesn't have a low enough hit box, and Nayru's (panic button) also doesn't have a low enough hitbox. Most of the time, if they're in the air, they will either try to use their teleport to get back down to the ground, or try to grab the ledge on either side of the stage. Find out what they prefer, and punish accordingly.

Oh, and you might be wondering what a love jump is. When Zelda is in hit stun, she can jump and quickly use Nayru's (panic button, agian) to rise higher in the air than she would have if she had just jumped. This isn't really that important to know, since it will just give you more time to think about how you are going to destroy her once she comes back to the ground, but she may use it to get out of combos (how on earth are you doing combos with Ganon?) or recovering back to the ledge.
I try.

LOL at that one guy who's hoarding zelda tech because he "discovered it" and wants to keep it under wraps until he "makes a video about it". thats probably the most assholish thing i've seen all month so far. thats beyond selfish and it's just crippling the advancement of the zelda metagame. i'm sure zelda players would like to know what "diamond dropping" is, LOL he even named it. and unless you programmed it into the game with the pmbr, i'm kinda sure theres someone else who knows about it or maybe even discovered it on accident. but i dont play zelda, so i dont care.

Yep, it's not just G-dorf though. Zelda's weakest positioning by far is when she is up above the opponent especially when just off of center so as to avoid any chance of Dair but directly below is still really good against her.

What options have you guys used for when you're above the opponent? I personally favor the Farore's Boost.

rule no.1 of the internet.
if you think someone is trolling you ****ing ignore them you dont message them to get their attention with an obnoxiously large pic unrelated to the discussion long after they said anything and tell them they're trolling even when you see they're not pursuing any kind of argument, because that is trolling.
wtf man
