Name	Old Man
Stage	Great Plateau Tower
Tip	Although he doesn't take part in the battle, an old man sometimes glides by using the Paraglider. He'll take his time passing by while watching the fight, and sometimes he'll land in the background.

Name	Stage	Tip
Hyrule Castle	Hyrule Castle	This is a revival of the Hyrule Castle stage from the original Smash Bros. The platforms on the castle tower are great for up smash attacks!
Tornado	Hyrule Castle	The tornado that appears will launch fighters vertically. If you've taken too much damage, it can launch you off the stage.
Tornado's Effect	Hyrule Castle	After being launched by the tornado, you'll be stunned for a moment. The more damage you have, the longer you'll be stunned.
Great Bay	Great Bay	A stage based on Great Bay from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. As time passes, the Moon floating in the sky inches ever closer to the ground.
Tingle	Great Bay	You can ride and grab the balloon attached to Tingle's back. If you stay on the balloon, it'll fall slowly until it pops. Attacks can also break it.
Turtle	Great Bay	You can fight on the back of the turtle that emerges from the water with a great splash. He dives back under the water after a set amount of time.
Platforms	Great Bay	You can't drop through the Marine Research Lab platform or the platforms floating on the water. The stone platform floating on the left side tilts depending on weight distribution.
Moon	Great Bay	In the background, the Moon falls slowly as time passes. You can see the Four Giants rally to stop it right before it hits the surface.
Temple	Temple	When your damage is high, try to fight in the cave around the middle of the stage. It's easy to break your fall against the walls and stay in the game.
King Bulblin	Bridge of Eldin	When King Bulblin is flinching after being attacked, fighters he rams into won't get hurt.
Bulblin	Bridge of Eldin	Sometimes a Bulblin will appear, following along after King Bulblin. It won't really do much, but you can attack it and defeat it. You meanie.
Present from King Bulblin	Bridge of Eldin	When the ground shakes, King Bulblin will come riding in from the left or right. The explosive he drops on the bridge is strong enough to blow it up.
Restoration	Bridge of Eldin	After King Bulblin's explosive goes off, the bridge may look damaged beyond repair. Never fear! Soon enough, a portal will appear to fix it right up.
Pirate Ship	Pirate Ship	Battles on this stage take place aboard a pirate ship traveling the Great Sea! Be careful—you never know what could happen at sea...
Grounded	Pirate Ship	Everyone is too busy fighting to steer the ship! The ship might run aground as you battle, but you can just carry the fight to the rocks if this happens.
Tornado	Pirate Ship	Occasionally a tornado may appear and lift the ship into the air. This is the perfect time to KO opponents with meteor smashes!
The Water's Flow	Pirate Ship	Any fighters that fall into the water will be swept from left to right. Watch out for the bow of the ship—it's an instant KO if you hit it!
Projectiles	Pirate Ship	The ship will occasionally sail past a watchtower, which will fire projectiles as you pass by. The explosions can really hurt, so watch out!
Changing Weather	Pirate Ship	The weather will change as the ship sails around. It can be sunny, cloudy, or rainy, but it'll only rain when a tornado is near.
Catapult	Pirate Ship	The catapult that emerges on the deck can launch fighters. The catapult will fire quicker if a fighter is standing on it.
Gerudo Valley	Gerudo Valley	Sometimes the wooden bridge will break if you stand on it or attack it. It's a flimsy bridge and will break over time, too.
Spirit Train	Spirit Train	This train travels left at extremely high speed. You'll need more luck than any one fighter has if you want to survive falling off the back.
Who's Driving?	Spirit Train	If Link, Toon Link, or Young Link is busy in the battle, Alfonzo will handle being the train's conductor.
Cabooses	Spirit Train	The Spirit Train can have several different cabooses. It could be Linebeck's shop, a coal car, a steel-frame car, or other cars!
Dark Train	Spirit Train	Keep an eye on the black smoke from the Dark Train! It will jump before exploding, landing in a random place on the stage.
KO-Ready Armored Train	Spirit Train	The Armored Train is pointy in front and will try to push the train you are on off the stage. Don't get pushed off during their conflict!
Skyloft	Skyloft	On the small island with a waterfall, you'll want to be careful of falling. That swift current can easily prevent you from recovering.
Great Plateau Tower	Great Plateau Tower	Based on the Great Plateau Tower from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In the distance, you can see Death Mountain and Hyrule Castle, which was attacked by Calamity Ganon 100 years prior.
Guidance Stone	Great Plateau Tower	The spire above the guidance stone can be broken. Breaking the spire reveals a floating platform. After a time, the spire will repair itself.
Old Man	Great Plateau Tower	Although he doesn't take part in the battle, an old man sometimes glides by using the Paraglider. He'll take his time passing by while watching the fight, and sometimes he'll land in the background.

Name	Gust Bellows

Name	Cucco: Indiscriminate Attack
Item / Character	File:SSBU Cucco Icon.png Cucco

Trivia

• In version 1.2.1 of Tears of the Kingdom, one of the descriptions of Autobuild in Tips and Tricks was changed. Originally, it provided information about creating saved designs without the necessary building supplies. After the update, the descriptions now makes note of the use of Zonaite to create missing supplies, so long as Link has enough.
