Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U is a fighting game with two different versions: The 3DS version and the Wii U version. The two games have some different stages, trophies, modes, and music, but share the same roster, physics, and movesets for all characters. This game features multiple playable Zelda characters and several Zelda themed stages and has more Zelda inspired assist trophies and items than any other installment of the Super Smash Bros. franchise.
Zelda Characters
There are five playable characters from the Zelda series in this game. This is also the first installment where Sheik and Zelda are separate characters on the character selection screen.
Link
Link's appearance in this game is based on his Twilight Princess model, just like it was in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but this version features a more vibrant color palate than his predecessor in Brawl. He uses the some of items he got while on his journey in Twilight Princess in some of his attacks. These different items include his Bow, the Gale Boomerang, Bombs, and the Clawshot (the same items that where used in Brawl). Among other uses, the Bow can be used to hit opponents from a distance, the Gale Boomerang can be used to bring distant opponents toward you, the Bombs can be thrown across the stage or used to disrupt a foe attempting to recover, and the Clawshot can be used to grab opponents, or to latch onto the edge of the stage when falling. Link also uses the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. Link's alternate colors appear to be based off of different appearances of him in the Zelda series. Some alternate colors include a Dark Link color scheme, a color scheme based off of Link's initial clothes in Skyward Sword, and a costume based off of Fierce Deity Link.
Ganondorf
Ganondorf has the same appearance in this game as he did in Brawl. Ganondorf's moves are generally all the same, however he has received a buff to his speed, power, and recovery. Ganondorf must be unlocked on the 3DS version of the game, however players start out with him on the Wii U.
