[@ΜιχάληςΔιαμάντης-λ1θ]

Mine is BOTW and TOTK. She's just magical

[@animezilla4486]

Breath of the wild is my absolute favorite Zelda design

[@zakirstocks9514]

Mine are *Hyrule Warriors and Tears of the Kingdom.* She's Absolutely Stunning and Fantabulous!

[@Leopez02]

Twilight Princess Zelda is my favourite, because Twilight Princess is my favourite Zelda game. 🧝🏻🐺👸🏻🧝🏻‍♀️✨️

[@Leopez02]

​@@animezilla4486Botw Zelda is still better than Totk Zelda, because she have a long hairs in Botw. 👸🏼🧝🏻‍♀️

[@8bitnation419]

Twilight Princess Zelda is my favourite.

[@goldfishprime]

It's hard to explain but it felt like she was already battling a greater evil.

[@topfranluis1]

She saved Midna, that’s all I need to know

[@Leopez02]

Mine too, Twilight Princess is also my favourite Zelda game. 🧝🏻‍♀️👸🏻🐺✨️

[@quinnfletcher3906]

That Zelda was the only one who felt like a princess, not princess as in a pretty girl like the others but a princess in the sense that she is royalty. Most of the others give this "your friend in a dress" vibe while Twilight Zelda gives of a genuine air of authority.

[@niekpinoy93]

Twilight Princess Zelda is my favorite design

[@hudsonball4702]

TP Zelda just screams badass royalty. She's the only Zelda that gives off a true "I am Royalty" vibe. But she's not above pulling out a sword to defend her own people either. A Perfect blend.

[@Supersammy22_290]

I j-er-k off looking at princess zelda And I love her

Considering most Zeldas are underage…weirdo The 18 and older ones tho…

[@a.jthomas6132]

While Twilight Princess felt more realistic and Skyward Sword Goddess outfit is very elegant, Breath of the Wild/Tear of the Kingdom design is favorite because she is blend of royalty and adventurous.

[@Supersammy22_290]

I j-er-k off looking at princess zelda And I love her

[@whalewolf7477]

Nah botw zelda looks way to cartoonishly goofy. Tp zelda looks smart and intelligent while also being very majestic and stunning. She also has a mischievous side as seen in the game.

[@Nov-5062]

Twilight Princess Zelda is god tier

[@kento_suijin]

Nah, SSS tier, Skyward Sword is God

[@Supersammy22_290]

I j-er-k off looking at princess zelda And I love her

[@vginsprdsobepr9698]

TP Zelda looked the best, acted very mature, and introduced us to a rapier wielding Zelda. Not to mention she had a good twinge of magical abilities.

[@user-jo3pw1oy1d]

This list completely bonkers. CD-I Zelda is on the same level as OoT and above Link to the past? Link to the past was THE design of Zelda and somehow that isn’t S-tier?!?!

[@hakimdhaou]

Appearantly you forgot what Channel that is

[@batmanbud2]

Skyward will always be my #1

[@Doggof2p]

Its honestly the most mid zelda design ever

[@traviscunningham7062]

Disagree. This was before any incarnation of Zelda was considered a princess. I like SS Zelda because she’s the only one that doesn’t feel like a princess.

[@LunaP1]

*YES!!*

[@kento_suijin]

same with me

[@kento_suijin]

@@Doggof2p nah

[@DamianLirettePiano]

Twilight Princess Zelda is iconic. I love the character of Zelda in Skyward Sword. But based on design alone nothing tops Twilight Princess Zelda.

[@neiltobey1746]

So happy that Twilight Princess Zelda got so much love! My personal favorite Zelda game!

[@SolCresta3405]

I love her design in Smash Ultimate.

[@petermiller4953]

I dunno. U think Twilight Princess' Zelda would've worked so much better for her design choice in Smash Ultimate. It WAS after all an *ahem* ultimate Zelda to take on the ultimate challenge she's had to face so far! Not just Ganondorf, but Zant as well!

[@SolCresta3405]

@@petermiller4953 Yes.

[@miguelgarces8946]

Zelda, like Link, should have used her Breath of the Wild design in SSBU instead of a mixture of her A Link Between Worlds and A Link to the Past designs.

[@SolCresta3405]

@@miguelgarces8946Yes.

[@a.j.cookie9735]

Being a nostalgic baby, I’m particularly fond of Ocarina of Time’s design, especially seeing that specific incarnation/design of her depicted several times throughout the series’ history with different technology of the time (very fitting lol). From Ocarina of Time, the 3D remake, Smash Melee and Hyrule Warriors ❤

[@zakirstocks9514]

I Absolutely Love Zelda's Designs from *A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Oracle of Seasons & Ages, Four Swords Adventure, Twilight Princess, A Link Between Worlds, Hyrule Warriors, SSBU and Tears of the Kingdom*

[@pirategamer6630]

Fr especially Tears of the Kingdom. They turned kinda average BOTW Zelda into ztraight up gorgeous.

[@pirategamer6630]

​@@zakirstocks9514Fr. I was amazed by the design. They didn't hold back there.

[@ScienceProject99]

Twilight Zelda is the best. The dark brown hair, purple theme color instead of pink, and mysterious nature makes her stand out the most. 💜

[@oi6915]

Fellow cdi Zelda design truther, the design would be S tier if the animation wasn't done in MS paint. This version of Zelda is more of a fighter as seen in her own game and the design suits it well, personality wise she was pretty good there too, pure no nonsense energy

[@Sammy-34079]

[@Heather_no_numbers]

I was kind of sad they didnt put Twilight Princess Zelda in Smash. I like that one better than what we got. I just love Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword period and would rank those games at top S tier anyway. Also kudos for Hyrule Warriors. I like the designs of the characters in that too.

[@robynwolph3836]

Twilight Princess Zelda is in Smash Bros Brawl. Go play that

[@Heather_no_numbers]

@@robynwolph3836 Id love to, but I dont have a Wii. 😥

[@seabicuit7247]

I don’t see the appear of the BOTW and TOTK designs. I mean I expected them to be ranked high due the popularity of the Wild series but I wouldn’t put them past B tier. But I’m also surprised that OOT Zelda didn’t get an S tier ranking. She had 3 different designs that were great.

[@MRoberts02]

Great choice on putting the Twilight Princess version on the S-Tier, it's the most iconic look of hers, can't tell me otherwise

[@Sammy-34079]

[@conmanay4563]

Glad to see someone who shares my favorite. Like you said, the Hyrule warriors design honestly takes all of her best design traits and makes her look like a warrior but still a princess

[@OneRandomVictory]

Hyrule Warriors, Smash Ultimate, and Twilight Princess are my top 3.

[@french_toaster2698]

I remember my first Zelda game I ever played being A Link Between Worlds, its nice to see her in S tear

[@a.jthomas6132]

Sinc Fujibayashi considers Wild Zelda the strongest version of her predecessors/incarnations, why couldn’t he and Nintendo make her a playable character in Tears of the Kingdom? This Hylian royal scholar has so much potential with in her! And we only get glimpses of her time travel adventures in the distant past. If they haven’t canceled the DLC plans, we would’ve have a companion story content where we can explore the Hyrule of that era while learning more about the Zonai Origins and provide more in deph background of who Ganondorf is before becoming the Demon King.

[@darth_smooth81]

Do you have any proof of this “canceled DLC”? I think everyone was hoping they’d do that, but I never saw any definitive answer that they were actually planning on doing that. The only thing definitive about DLC that we got was that they have no plans to provide any DLC for TotK…..

[@Lor_Duck]

@@darth_smooth81 "Hyrule Warriors: Imprisoning War" was leaked

[@darth_smooth81]

@@Lor_Duck: I did not know that! But if it’s like the last Hyrule Warriors game, it won’t be canon and will basically be a parallel/alternate timeline. When I found out that Age of Calamity wasn’t canon, I lost all interest and stopped playing. If Imprisoning War isn’t canon, it won’t sell well, and I won’t spend my money on it.

[@Lor_Duck]

@@darth_smooth81 makes sense but AoC wasn't canon because Nintendo wanted a happy ending. AoC didn't have that. The imprisoning war does

The Human Teletubbies Gameplays also have mostly been cancelled ended, and updated to a Zootopia Teletubbies Gameplay. What perhaps should be done with Princess Zelda? Maybe Make Me a Lego Through Gene Splicings Gameplays?

[@darth_smooth81]

Nobody at Nintendo signed off on the CD-I games nor their designs. Philips just got to make the games due to their original partnership, that eventually fell apart. During the scope of the partnership, Nintendo agreed to have two Zelda games on the CD-I system. Even though the partnership fell through, the agreement was still there and Philips got to make those games even without any input/approval by Nintendo.

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

Cartoon Zelda is my favorite. She was shown as a true fighting ally for Link and I can't help but think the color palette influenced future Zelda designs. Waiting for that game to showcase her, everything the CD-I version wasn't but wanted to be.
