Character Sheet: Manga Zelda

MANGA ZELDA

Alright, so we did have one more semi-big character list in us. Let's get into it! This is all characters I could pull out originating from the Legend of Zelda manga, or were given just enough of a boost by the manga to make it into our rankings. They are:

1. Maple

2. Jolene

3. Ricky

4. Captain Stalfos

5. Manga Link

6. Riruto

7. Manga Zelda

8. Raska

9. Tou

10. Ghanti

11. Gonza

12. Kala

13. Captain Arjuna

14. Sir Raven

15. Biri

16. Com

17. Gump

18. Shemlon

19. Rouro

20. Ganon's Minion

21. Ganon's Heart

22. Ganos

23. Haggis

Just like her male counterpart, this character will be a composite of all the various Zeldas across the various manga, including the doomed Ran version, the minor recurring Cagiva version, the half-sibling of Mishouzaki's Link, the guiding spirit from Oath of Riruto, and all the most prominent Himekawa versions, most of which will likely act as color swaps of each other.

Many of the versions of Zelda are fairly similar to their game counterparts, relying primarily on magical spells with power drawn from the triforce, although some notable versions include the Ran version of Zelda, who took up a more active role and became a partner to Link on his adventure, making use of a club, sword, and rope in her fights (wouldn't you know it, that's the one that gets killed off permanently). She also gets a big axolotl-looking sea monster as a pet. I think that's probably enough for us to work with.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Magical Blast

One thing that the manga Zeldas tend to have in common is that their magic tends to take the form of blasts that they fire from their hands to help Link, so I figure it works as our first attack.

Side B: Sword Thrust

Being a more active participant in most of these, Zelda often wields a sword. I figure she would thrust it forward, like a fencing rapier, given her noble upbringing.

Up B: Flute

In a few of her versions here, she wields the flute known for getting players out of danger. As such, she will carry it on her, and play a note on it to be whisked to higher ground.

Down B: Sea Monster

Her pet sea monster from the Ran manga will emerge before her and flop down on top of any nearby players.

Final Smash: Triforce

All of our Zelda versions that make up this character will appear together with the triforce behind them and fire off a powerful blast of magical energy that will KO their opponent.

Entrance: She will appear trapped in a crystal, before opening her eyes and bursting out of it.

Taunts: Up, she will pray for a moment with the triforce behind her. Side, she will train with her sword with a series of thrusts and parries. Down, she will sit and rest a while.

Thanks for reading! Next up, an original sidekick from the mind of Cagiva Ataru.
