Template:Game Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U is a fighting game to be released for both the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS. It is a sequel to the Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It features many The Legend of Zelda characters, stages and items, alongside those of other popular Nintendo series.

Characters from The Legend of Zelda

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS will feature Link, Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf, and Toon Link as playable characters. Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are once again based on their appearance in Twilight Princess. Toon Link is based on his appearance in The Wind Waker HD.

Link

Link's moveset includes many attacks and items from the Zelda series, including the Master Sword for most of his smash attacks, the Spin Attack as his recovery, the Up Thrust and Down Thrust, and the Bow and Bombs as projectiles. Link can also crouch to use the Hylian Shield to protect himself from projectiles. One of his taunts features a Fairy.

Link has been given a new version of the Up Thrust, and his running attack is now the Jump Attack, and is powerful enough to KO fighters at low percentages. His Down Thrust's meteor smash function was considered to be removed at some point in development due to it being too powerful.[1]

Link's alternative costumes include his starting clothes from Skyward Sword and his Fierce Deity transformation from Majora's Mask.

Toon Link

Toon Link is a faster, but weaker, semi-clone of Link. One of his taunts features him playing the Template:It.

Zelda

Zelda's moveset includes Farore's Wind used as her recovery. Her attacks also feature new visual effects. She is now a separate character from Sheik, which adds a new move to her set called the Phantom Slash, in which she summons a Phantom that can be used either as a ranged attack or as a method to block incoming attacks or projectiles.

Sheik

Sheik is now a separate character, no longer being a transformation of Zelda. Due to this, a new special attack has been added to her moveset: the Bouncing Fish, which is a mid-air dive kick towards the ground.

Sheik's Chain special attack has also been replaced with a new special attack: the Burst Grenade. The Burst Grenade has Sheik pulls out her chain, which has a small grenade on the end of it. When the attack button is released, Sheik pulls the pin on the grenade, causing it to explode. The grenade's explosion also causes a vortex effect that pulls in nearby opponents, trapping them in the explosion.

Ganondorf

Ganondorf is a stronger, but heavier, semi-clone of Captain Falcon. He possesses the same moveset but with different names, such as the Gerudo Dragon. Ganondorf transforms into Beast Ganon for his Final Smash.

Mii Fighters

Mii Fighters can wear different outfits based on The Legend of Zelda. These include Link's cap and outfit, plus the Master Sword, usable by Mii Swordfighters only. The game also features the Majora's Mask as DLC and a wig based on Princess Zelda, both usable by all types of Mii Fighters. Link's Outfit and Majora's Mask were released through DLC on April 15, 2015,[2] while the Zelda wig is available by default.

Stages from The Legend of Zelda

Skyloft

SSB4 Skyloft

The Skyloft stage

Taken from Skyward Sword, the stage features a moving platform which lands in different areas of Skyloft. Some of these include the Statue of the Goddess, the Bazaar, the Light Tower, and the outside of Batreaux's house. Beedle's Air Shop and Loftwings make cameo appearances flying around the stage. It is an exclusive stage to the Wii U version.

Gerudo Valley

Taken from Ocarina of Time 3D, the Gerudo Valley stage features a flat surface divided by a chasm. The stage also features a bridge that can be destroyed by attacks, reconstructing itself after a short time. At the sides of the bridge, two canopies were added as extra platforms, each at different heights. Two posts were also added to the chasm in order to help fighters return to the top, while some spikes are also found below. Koume and Kotake appear as a stage hazard, attacking fighters with fire and ice attacks, respectively. It is an exclusive stage to the 3DS version.

Spirit Train

SSB4 Spirit Train 2

The Spirit Train stage

Taken from Spirit Tracks, the Spirit Train stage features the train moving across New Hyrule. The main platforms are three Train Cars, including the Spirit Engine, the Solid Passenger Car without windows, and the Trusty Freight Car, which often changes cargo. Every so often, Dark Trains and birds carrying a platform appear as temporary extra platforms. Link in his Engineer's Clothes makes a cameo appearance driving the train. If Toon Link appears in the stage, Link is replaced by Alfonzo as the train driver. It is an exclusive stage to the 3DS version.

Returning Stages

In the Wii U version of the game, the Temple stage from Super Smash Bros. Melee and the Bridge of Eldin stage from Super Smash Bros. Brawl make a return with remastered textures. The Hyrule Castle stage from Super Smash Bros. and the Pirate Ship stage from Brawl also return as downloadable stages for both versions of the game for the former and the Wii U version for the latter. All these stages also feature an omega form.

Items from The Legend of Zelda

The Bombchu item

The Fairy Bottle appears as a recovery item, decreasing 100% of damage. If the player does not have at least 100% of damage, the Bottle can be used as a projectile. If another player is hit by the Bottle while having at least 100% of damage, the player damage will be decreased. Heart Containers, based on their Skyward Sword appearance, also appear as recovery items. They decrease up to 100% of damage when grabbed. The Template:It appears as a projectile. Once grabbed, it can be launched towards an opponent, grabbing them and flying off with them. The Gust Bellows can blow opponents away with a wind blast. If the item is dropped, the gust runs wild. Bombchu appear as an exploding item, which, once thrown, will follow its path until hitting a opponent, detonating upon impact. The Bunny Hood improves fighters' agility, allowing them to jump higher and move faster. Deku Nuts, when thrown, stun any player caught in its blast. Cuccos can be thrown to release a group of Cuccos who will attack the targeted opponent and anyone else in the way.[3]

Skull Kid wearing the Majora's Mask, Midna, and Ghirahim appear as Assist Trophies.
