Character Sheet: Toon Zelda

TOON ZELDA


Today, we begin a new round of character sheets, all primarily appearing in the 2D titles from Oracles to Tri Force Heroes. We have quite a few, though not as many as the 3D titles. Among them are:

1. Four Links

2. Ravio

3. Princess Hilda

4. Toon Zelda

5. Din

6. Nayru

7. Ezlo

8. Minish/Picori

9. Linebeck

10. Oshus & Ciela

11. Ralph

12. Alfonzo

13. Madame Couture

14. Subrosian

15. Onox

16. Veran

17. Vaati

18. Bellum

19. Chancellor Cole & Malladus

20. Yuga

21. Lady Maud

22. Byrne

Before we begin, I should note that this moveset is specifically for the Zelda appearing in Spirit Tracks. While Wind Waker does have its own "Toon Zelda" in the form of Tetra, who briefly takes on the iconic look, this Zelda bears the appearance the entire time and is a constant companion to Link throughout his game, making her one of my top three favorites, after Tetra and alongside the Breath of the Wild version.

Toon Zelda spends most of her time in the game as a spirit, having had her soul removed from her body by Chancellor Cole and Byrne. However, when in the Tower of Spirits, she can possess the body of a Phantom, enchanted suits of armor that patrol the tower. In this form, she carries a sword and a shield, can walk through lava, carry Link on her shoulders, use a torch, warp from location to location, and turn into a wrecking ball to roll around. She can also sing to perform magic and has a spirit flute that can play special songs.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Phantom Slash

She will lunge forward with her sword quickly, basically recreating the attack from Smash that Zelda uses currently.


Side B: Wrecking Ball

She will curl up into a ball and roll around, smashing into her opponents with high damage.


Up B: Spirit Warp

She will warp from place to place the way she often does inside the Tower of Spirits in order to help Link solve puzzles. Also, a Bowser Jr.-esque ejection from her armor might also work, but that's very similar to the Down B.


Down B: Release

She will release her hold on the Phantom, which will collapse into rubble, her intangible spirit form remaining where she stood. A good defense attack, basically making yourself impervious to damage for a moment.


Final Smash: Spirit Train

She will play a note on her Spirit Flute and summon a train to barrel through the stage, just like Toon Link's.


Entrance: The Phantom will be lying on the ground as Zelda's spirit flies into it.


Taunts: Up, she will burst from the Phantom and sit on its shoulder. Side, she will hold up her fists in front of her face and do that cute little dance she does. Down, she will look at her armored hands in confusion.


Thanks for reading! Next up, the titular Oracle of Seasons.
