Non-Canon Information

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.

Confirmed Characters from The Legend of Zelda

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS will feature Link, Zelda, Sheik, and Toon Link as playable characters. Link, Zelda, and Sheik 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 confirmed 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.

It was confirmed by Sakurai that Link's Down Thrust, used as a Meteor Smash, might be removed due to it being too powerful.^[1]

Toon Link

Toon Link is faster than his clone, Link. One of his taunts features him playing the Template:It.

Zelda

Zelda's confirmed 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, two new special attacks have been added to her moveset: the Burst Grenade and the Bouncing Fish.

Confirmed Stages from The Legend of Zelda

Skyloft stage

Skyloft

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 stage

Gerudo Valley

Taken from Template:OOT3D, the Gerudo Valley stage features a flat surface divided by a chasm. The stage also features a bridge that can be destroyed by attacks, although it is still unknown if it can reconstructed. At the sides of the bridge, two canopies were added as extra platforms, each at different heights. Two grappling posts were also added to the chasm in order to help fighters return to the top. 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

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.

Confirmed Items from The Legend of Zelda

The Bombchu item

The Fairy Bottle appears as a recovery item, decreasing more than 100% of damage. 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 also appears as an item. Once grabbed, it can blow opponents away with a wind blast. If the item is dropped, the gust runs wild. Bombchu appear as a 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 stun any player caught in its blast when thrown. Both Skull Kid wearing Majora's Mask and Midna appear as Assist Trophies. Cuccos also make an appearance, It is still unknown their purpose in the game, although Masahiro Sakurai, director of the game, stated that they shouldn't be attacked, presumably because they retain their ability to attack the character who attacks them.^[2]

Saria and Fi will both appear as a Trophies, the former being exclusive to the 3DS version.

Confirmed Music from The Legend of Zelda

Similar to Brawl, each stage features various songs from their respective series. However, the 3DS version of the game only features two per stage, similar to Melee.
