1. Introduction
Hi, and welcome to Josh's guide to Zelda/Sheik on Super Smash Bros.
Melee. This guide assumes you know how to play, what the different items
do, the different modes, and all that. I want to keep this FAQ fairly
small, y'see. This guide contains mild spoilers about the game; mentions
a couple of secret characters, but let's be honest, who doesn't know who
they all are. The object of Super Smash Bros. Melee is to knock your
opponent off the screen. Your opponents are obviously trying to knock
you off as well. With Zelda/Sheik, you have the option of being slow and
powerful, or fast and weak. There is no 'in-between'. The two characters
are evenly matched; any one advantage that one character has over
another is cancelled out by any other disadvantage. This guide will
describe how Zelda and Sheik handle, what each move accomplishes, and
when the best time is to use them. It also includes strategies for
making your own combos. This is primarily for Vs. mode, but you'll
quickly learn to apply these skills to 1-player mode as well. You'll
notice many of the moves hit 'on a line'. This means that they hit
opponents in a linear area in the direction given. It doesn't mean the
opponents have to be arranged in a perfect line; though they can be hit
that way, if they deviate slightly from the line, the attack will still
connect. Also, attacks that hit on a line work wonders in multiplayer
battles, because if your opponents are close enough together, that also
counts as a line. Think of it as the attacks in Chrono Trigger that hit
on a line. (what? you've never played it?) Some moves hit in a
semicircle - the same principle applies, just the range is shaped
differently. Questions/comments can be directed to
[email protected] or
[email protected], but read the FAQ all the way through first, I don't
respond to questions that are already included here.

3. Zelda
If you hold A before a match starts, you'll turn into Sheik (or Zelda in
1-P mode when applicable).
Zelda is slow to move, slow to attack, and generally slow overall,
except in the air. On a relative scale, she's faster than Bowser, but
slower than Ganondorf. Her attacks are powerful, they last a long time
(which is your friend in multiplayer battles, and can only be your
friend in a one-on-one if used as counterattacks), and some of them
juggle. All of her attacks leave her open in some way, but she's very
good at keeping opponents away. They also cover a very wide range around
her, making her better to use in multiplayer battles. That having been
said, a lot of them need to be aimed and timed correctly in order to
work properly, such as her lightning kick. Most of her attacks have
awful recovery time, because they last so long. For these reasons, it's
better to focus on waiting for the opponent(s) to approach you and
counterattacking, and luring your opponent(s) into your attacks, rather
than going in for the kill. If they know better than to do that, turn
into Sheik and go on the offensive, or if possible, use Din's Fire.
Zelda can go on the offensive, but only if her opponent(s) are within
range of her dash attack, which can be difficult to set up due to her
slow foot speed. She can jump fairly high but VERY quickly, making her
an excellent aerial character. She doesn't jump nearly as high as Sheik,
but she can travel further horizontally, and Farore's Wind more than
compensates for it. There is a slight delay before she actually leaves
the ground, but once she's off the ground she's just behind Jigglypuff
in terms of aerial maneuverability. When moving, keep Zelda off the
ground and focus on knocking opponents away, and when on the ground,
stay within a general area and cover yourself as best as you can. Her
roll dodge is much quicker than her regular foot speed, but make sure
you're familiar with how far it carries her. Her sidestep dodge lasts
slightly longer than Sheik's, which can be both a blessing and burden.
She is very light and can be knocked away easily, so make sure you have
good stamina before undertaking a battle with Zelda. Her reach with the
Beam Sword is among the best; so don't pass it up (It's even better with
Sheik, though).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3a. STANDARD ATTACKS:
A button: Forward Flash
Zelda extends her arm and a blast of magical energy issues from her
hand. It's rather slow, so it's best used as a counterattack. Watch for
the dreadful recovery time. It hits in the range of the sparks causing
lightning-elemental damage, leaving her lower body and back open. The
opponent(s) are stopped in their tracks - use this as an opportunity to
grab or follow up with a more powerful smash.
Tilt forward+A: Forward Slap
Zelda swings her arm around and to her side in a chopping motion leaving
a trail of magical energy. This comes out slightly, but not noticeably,
quicker than her regular A, so it's good to use in a combo, but again
it's best as a counterattack. It hits in the range of the magical energy
causing physical damage and knocking the opponent away, leaving her
lower body and back open.
Tilt up+A: Upward Sweep
Zelda sweeps her arm upward in a circular motion. It covers her upper
body. This is one of Zelda's wildcards - it doesn't deal too much
damage, but it knocks the enemy very far and comes out quicker than most
of her other attacks. It's best used when the enemy is directly above
rather than on the side, because they'll be able to hit Zelda below the
range of the attack. It also works to cover her upper body when multiple
opponents are approaching from above. It hits on both sides and above
causing physical damage, leaving her lower body open.
Tilt down+a: Trip kick
Zelda kicks along the ground. It comes out quite quickly, but has a
moderately small recovery time. A relatively good juggling move when
used on angled surfaces such as Hyrule Temple or Corneria. It hits on a
stupidly short forward line (but a line nonetheless) along the ground
and causes physical damage, but leaves her upper body and back open.
Don't mash the button - wait until the opponent's feet are back on the
ground before you kick again.
Dash+A: Dash attack
Zelda dashes forward with her arms out. It's an excellent reversal move;
it comes out very fast and does heavy damage with much quicker recovery
time than most of her other attacks. It's also good to start a combo,
since it knocks the enemy straight up. Follow this one up with her
upward sweep. It hits on a short forward line causing lightning-
elemental damage, leaving her lower body and back open. You'll quickly
catch on to how far she dashes. This is Zelda's only effective offensive
maneuver. It works wonders in multiplayer battles, so don't pass it up,
but again, make sure they're within range of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3b. SMASH ATTACKS:
Up+A: Electric Juggle
Zelda extends her arm upward and makes a circular motion leaving a trail
of magical energy. If an enemy is caught in it, they are juggled for a
while, and if they're still inside, the last hit knocks them upward.
It's best used as a counterattack - try using it slightly early so the
last hit connects. It hits on a short horizontal line directly above
causing lightning-elemental damage, leaving her entire body open. This
means you must never use it to hit on the side, except at point-blank
range, and Nayru's Love is much better. For best results, catch the
opponent in the dead center of the line; if they're off to the side it's
easier to escape it, and when she moves her arm the other way, they're
out of it automatically. Not good.
Forward+A: Energy Blast
Zelda casts a magic spell in front of her leaving a burst of sparkles.
It lasts fairly long and reaches fairly far, but if an enemy is caught
in it at close range, it juggles the longest with lightning-elemental
damage before knocking them away. This is Zelda's fastest attack, but it
has a slight delay while powering up and a horrible recovery time, and
it leaves her lower body and back open. (notice a pattern yet?)
Down+A: Low Roundhouse
Zelda twirls around on one foot with the other extended in front. This
one also comes out a bit quicker than most of her other attacks, but at
the cost of a lower damage percentile. It's best used when an opponent
is jumping towards you at an angle from below. It covers both sides of
her lower body and hits directly below causing physical damage, but it
leaves her open from behind when she turns around.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3c. AERIAL ATTACKS:
Up+A: Explosion
Zelda casts an explosion above her. This attack is dreadfully slow, but
if it connects, it is capable of massive damage. It is best used after
an opponent's third jump, or when they're standing on a platform
directly above. Also due to the delay when coming out, a good time to
use this is on your way up in the jump rather than falling. It has a
wide range, so also try it if the enemy is falling towards you at an
angle as well. It hits in a semicircle directly above causing fire-
elemental damage, leaving her horribly open to upward attacks and
attacks from the sides, so be alert. The recovery time isn't all that
bad but it's not all that good either.
Forward or Back +A: Lightning kick
Zelda kicks her foot out in front of her with a powerful magic spark
emanating from it. This is another Zelda wildcard. The downside to this
attack is if it doesn't connect properly it won't do as much damage. The
key is to strike with the ball of her foot in the actual kicking motion,
so timing is EXTREMELY important. The spark that comes out is a hair's
breadth above her foot, and that will also hit with the more powerful
strike. It is best used as a back attack - i.e. jump over the enemy and
attack them from behind. It's also good in multiplayer battles - fall
into a group of enemies and do it. It will connect on at least one of
them. If the opponent is on the ground, use it at the last possible
second before you land, but make sure they're within range. This attack
hits on a line in the direction she falls afterward, with the tip being
the hardest hit and causing lightning-elemental damage, leaving a small
area of her upper body open. I recommend playing in training mode and
setting the CPU to Jump, Evade or Attack to develop use of this move -
particularly Jump, because that way you'll be able to time the attacks
better on vertically moving targets.
Down+A: Stomp
Zelda stomps down on the enemy. This move is Zelda's dud because it's
slow to come out, doesn't do much damage, doesn't knock the enemy far
away at all, doesn't last long, and leaves her terribly open to upward
attacks. It hits directly below on a short line causing physical damage.
It's best used when you're just about to land on an opponent from above,
but most likely by then they'll have hit you with an upward attack. Use
her spin strike instead.
A: Spin strike
Zelda spins around with her arms extended leaving trails of magical
energy behind. It comes out at a medium speed, can juggle if timed and
aimed correctly, and causes minimal damage, however if the last hit
connects, it will send them flying. This one hits on both sides on a
longer line within her jump causing physical damage, leaving her open
from directly above and below. It's excellent when used on the way up in
her jump, but you must be quick.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3d. SPECIAL ATTACKS:
B: Nayru's Love
Zelda spins around forming a diamond-shaped crystal. It lasts a short
while, and is followed by smaller crystals all around. Any projectiles
are reflected. Both the crystal and the waves reflect attacks, but only
the waves cause damage. If used at close range, the waves juggle for a
short while. Out of all of her attacks this one covers her body the
most, and it is the quickest to come out. In addition to reflecting
attacks in the range of the crystal, if used as a close-range attack,
it's an excellent move to surprise opponents. Never EVER pass up the
chance to knock a projectile back at the enemy. (Fully charged Super
Scope shots, Samus' Charge shots, and Mewtwo's Shadow Balls in
particular.) If used in the air, it slows her fall while she spins, but
she'll fall at her normal speed afterward. It won't cancel her third
jump, so don't pass up the chance to throw in a hit (e.g. spin strike)
afterward. It's very good for knocking multiple enemies away. Nayru's
Love hits all around causing physical damage, leaving her open from
directly above and below. If used on a Pokeball, it becomes yours, so
don't pass that up either. All six of Sheik's needles can be reflected
if you time it right, so stick with Sheik if you're fighting Kirby,
until he inhales you (if he does.)
Forward+B: Din's Fire
Zelda throws a ball in front of her, which bursts into flame shortly
afterward. Another Zelda wildcard, it can be controlled vertically to a
certain degree if the button is held down. Once you choose which
direction it travels vertically you can't change it. When it initially
leaves Zelda's hand it moves slow, but it speeds up the further away it
travels. When the button is released, it disappears for about a 1/4 of a
second, bursts into flame and burns the enemy. If the ball touches the
ground, it is cancelled. The ball itself does not cause damage; the
burst of flame does. With practice you'll be able to lure enemies into
it. One of the better ways to do this is to release the button just in
front of the opponent when they're approaching. Beware though, because
she can't move while Din's Fire is in the air (this includes the burst
of flame), and it cancels her third jump if used as an aerial attack,
because it carries her forward. If she's hit while it's in the air,
depending on how long she's on the ground afterward, it may or may not
burst into flame. Use it in the air only if you're sure you're going to
land on the platform. This one hits where you release the button causing
fire-elemental damage. If it's too far away, it cancels automatically.
For these reasons, it's best used as a long-range attack.
Up+B: Farore's Wind
Zelda spins around in a green glow, disappears, and reappears in another
area of the screen. The waves that form around her also cause slight
damage. Depending on which direction you push the control stick after
executing Farore's Wind, Zelda will move in that direction. It's great
as a recovery move, but it is imperative that you know where you'll end
up, because if you reappear underneath a platform, you'll fall. It's
easier to use when you have the arrow pointing above your character, but
don't use that as a crutch; learn how long it lasts instead. Tips: Her
total jump height and lateral length are _ever-so-slightly_ longer than
Sheik's, and she can only move upward through droppable terrain, i.e.
ground that you can press downward to fall through. Hits on all sides if
timed correctly.
Down+B: Transform
Zelda turns into Sheik. It can be cancelled if she's hit while
transforming, so either do it in the air or far enough away from your
opponent so they can't reach you. Also try it straight off the revival
platform. It does not cause damage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3e. THROWS:
When Zelda is holding an enemy, she swings her arms around casting
magical energy into the enemy as her Z button attack.
Downward: Zelda floats above the enemy, casting magical energy below
herself onto the enemy on the ground. It racks up damage and is
excellent when followed up with Nayru's Love.
Forward: Zelda's more powerful throw, tossing the enemy forward in a
blast of magic.
Backward: Zelda casts the enemy behind her, again in a blast of magic.
Upward: Zelda throws the enemy straight up. Add her upward explosion to
this throw - you must be quick but it can be done.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3f. COMBO STRATEGIES:
The only really effective way to combo with Zelda is to start with a
counterattack, because that's the best way to use Zelda. When you have
an opponent caught in a combo, vary the direction of the control stick
during your attacks. If you hit an opponent and (s)he is knocked towards
you, use Nayru's Love to juggle. Her upward sweep is a good finishing
move - it covers her upper body, and it's even better when followed up
with her upward explosion. Another way is to hit with progressively
stronger attacks in the same direction; hit with her regular A, then her
forward+A, follow up with her dash or forward smash, and end with a
lightning kick. Also make use of her low kick if you're on an angled
surface.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Sheik
Sheik is one of the most versatile characters. On a relative scale,
she's faster than Roy but slower than Marth. Her attacks come out fast,
(which can be a blessing in one-on-one battles and a burden in
multiplayer battles, so be alert), she can juggle her opponent very
well, and she works well as an offensive character and an opportunist.
Her disadvantages are that her attacks are very weak and don't cover as
wide of a range as Zelda's, but since she can unleash numerous attacks
in a row with very little recovery time in between, and since they don't
leave her as open as Zelda's hits, that makes up for this. Because her
attacks cover a much narrower range and are much quicker than Zelda's,
use caution in multiplayer battles; concentrate on using the linear and
longer hits as much as possible, and time your short hits very carefully
so as to knock your opponents into each other. This isn't as much of a
problem in one-on-one battles, so go nuts with her normal hits. She
jumps quite high and very quickly and is excellent in the air. Her jumps
don't carry her as far horizontally as Zelda's, but there's no delay
before she leaves the ground, and she can still travel as far if you use
her whole jump. She can wall-jump; abuse this as if it were a lifeline.
She is also great for hit-and-run tactics, due to her quick attacks and
foot speed. A good time to turn into Zelda is after a hit-and-run. Like
Zelda, she is also very light and can be knocked away easily, so make
sure you have good stamina. She is excellent with swinging weapons (bat,
beam sword, star rod(!!), etc) because if they are used as smash attacks
they hit twice, with the second hit knocking the opponent far. I almost
always find myself turning into Sheik if I pick up one of these as
Zelda. Don't rule Zelda out with these, though. Sheik is also excellent
for confusing opponents, because when she moves, she turns around and
walks backwards in the direction she is actually moving, except when
running. Her sidestep dodge is much too quick to successfully avoid a
full-on multiplayer attack, whereas her roll dodge can get her out of
just about anything. (I say Sheik is female, 'cos she sounds like a
deep-voiced woman rather than a high-voiced man, the game refers to her
as female, and she's just Zelda passing herself off as a Sheikah, but I
agree, it is questionable, because of the references in Ocarina of
Time.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4a. STANDARD ATTACKS
A: Slap
Sheik quickly chops forward. If used repeatedly, it turns into a
juggling attack similar to that of Captain Falcon or Fox. Never use the
juggling attack at long range, because the recovery time is most long.
Excellent against larger characters like Donkey Kong. Hits in a small
semicircle directly in front, leaving a small part of her lower body and
back open.
Tilt forward+A: Roundhouse
Sheik performs a traditional roundhouse kick. It's an excellent reversal
move, it comes out very quick, and it's good to use in a combo. It can
also be a good ledge-guarding move if timed correctly. Hits in a
semicircle in front, leaving her back open.
Tilt up+A: Up kick
Sheik kicks straight up, and then sweeps her foot downward in front of
her. It's a good attack to confuse an enemy - they'll think you're only
hitting upward, and then they'll get caught in the forward hit. Hits in
a semicircle on both sides and above, then in a narrow semicircle in
front, leaving her open to attacks from directly below.
Tilt down+A: Foot sweep
Sheik spins along the ground with her leg extended slightly into the
air. Best used as a counterattack against aerial moves. Hits on both
sides, leaving her open to attacks from directly above or below. It is
excellent when followed up with her down+A smash.
Dash+A: Dash attack
Sheik dashes forward blindingly fast, damaging everything in her wake.
If you time it right, you can juggle an enemy easily using this attack
alone - dash back and forth in the same general area. You'll quickly
catch on to how far Sheik can dash. Hits on a short forward line,
leaving her open during the ever-so-slight recovery time. It's excellent
when followed up with her up kick or roundhouse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4b. SMASH ATTACKS:
Forward+A: Double jumpkick
Sheik spins moving forward kicking twice. The first kick racks up
damage; the second kick knocks the enemy away. If timed correctly, both
kicks will connect. Don't be fooled by its quickness - it's best used as
a counterattack, because the second kick is the better of the two hits.
It can be used as an offensive maneuver, but only if you're able to keep
the enemy at a distance enough to hit both times, or at least on the
second only. Also, watch for the slight delay before the first kick.
This one can hit on a short forward line if timed correctly. Between the
two kicks there's a very short recovery time leaving her open from
directly above and below. If you're wielding the Beam sword, the range
is much longer.
Up+A: Sheik's Secret Weapon
One of Sheik's wildcards. Sheik puts her arms upward, and then swings
them to her side in a quick motion. It hits on both sides and directly
above. If it hits directly above, it will hit twice. Since it attacks on
both sides, it's good to use in multiplayer battles. It leaves her open
to attacks from directly below.
Down+A: Windmill kick
Another Sheik wildcard. Sheik extends her legs in the front split, spins
around, turns upside down, spins again, and kicks upward. It lasts a
long time, is quick to come out, and hits in a semicircle during the
upward kick. It leaves her upper body open to attacks while she's
turning, but since it reaches far enough in front of and behind her,
this shouldn't be much of a problem. It's excellent in multiplayer
battles, because it hits on all sides. It's also excellent against
characters of high weight as well(bonus if they're metal), because if at
close enough range and timed correctly, it can hit up to five times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4c. AERIAL ATTACKS:
A: Jumpkick
Sheik extends her legs in the traditional jumpkick style with one arm
out in front and the other with her elbow extended behind. Good for
knocking enemies away in all directions. It hits all around on a line in
the direction she falls afterward, with the actual strike being slightly
more powerful. Also good as a finishing move if the enemy has high
damage. It has a slow recovery time, so don't use it near an edge.
Forward+A: Sideswipe
Sheik slaps forward. This move has a very slight delay before it comes
out, so try using it a little early. It doesn't do too much damage but
it will knock the enemy very far horizontally. It hits in a semicircle
in front, leaving her open from the back. It works wonders as a
finishing move, so save it for that purpose whenever possible.
Back+A: Back kick
Sheik kicks one foot out behind her. This move is also excellent for
knocking multiple opponents away, because the foot behind her does
damage as well as the foot below her. Also good as an offensive
maneuver. It leaves her open from the front, though.
Down+A: Stomp
Sheik stomps downward. It hits on a line. Much MUCH better than Zelda's
stomp, it knocks the enemy straight up, leaving them open to upward
attacks. Watch for the slight delay before it comes out and the rather
long recovery time. It's also excellent as a spike, knocking an aerial
enemy straight down at a ridiculous speed.
Up+A: Upward stomp
Another Sheik wildcard, this one only hits once but it knocks the enemy
far. Excellent as a finishing move. Hits on a line. If timed correctly
during her jump, she'll move upward in the stomping motion. It can also
be used when falling laterally to counter approaching opponents from the
side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4d. SPECIAL ATTACKS:
B: Needle Storm
Sheik throws needles at the enemy. Hold down the button to prepare more,
and press the L or R button to store them. She can hold up to six.
Release the button to unleash the needles. An excellent counterattack,
because if the enemy is running towards you, they will be stopped in
their tracks for a moment, giving you time to attack. Even if they block
it, that still opens them up for a frontal assault or grab afterward. If
thrown in the air, they travel at a downward angle. Watch for the ever-
so-slight delay before they come out and the slight recovery delay
afterward.
Forward+B: Chain
Sheik throws a chain out in front of her. The tip of the chain shocks
the opponent, and the rest of the chain inflicts damage. Rotate the
control stick to move the chain around, and release B to retract the
chain. Each stroke with the chain causes damage. Don't keep the chain
out too long, or else they will figure out what you're doing. It's
excellent as a counterattack and edge-guarding move. It will block most
projectiles. If used in the air, it will slow her fall, but once the
chain is fully extended, she falls at her normal speed.
Up+B: Vanish
In the air, Sheik maneuvers in a manner similar to air-dodging in the
direction you hit, explodes, then reappears in another area of the
screen. Depending on which direction you hold after executing Vanish,
you'll move in that direction. Be warned - it will not take you as far
as Farore's Wind, but if an enemy touches the explosion, it causes fire-
elemental damage and will knock them away. If you use it on the ground,
watch for the slight delay before the explosion, and use it as a
counterattack. Hits on all sides. The explosion when she reappears
doesn't inflict damage, so be alert for it.
Down+B: Transform
Sheik transforms into Zelda. It can be cancelled if she's hit while
transforming, so try it in the air or far enough away from your opponent
so it can be completed. Also try it straight off the revival platform.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4e. THROWS:
When Sheik is holding the enemy, her Z button attack elbows them in the
face. Ouch!
Downward: Sheik throws the enemy on the ground and falls on top of them,
knocking them straight up. Start a combo with this one.
Backward: Sheik kicks the opponent behind her.
Forward: Sheik elbows the opponent in front of her.
Upward: Sheik throws the enemy up then does a handstand right underneath
to add to the damage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4f. COMBO STRATEGIES:
Sheik's attacks come out fast with little recovery time in between, and
although they aren't terribly powerful, she can unleash a lot of them in
a short time. Try starting a combo with a downward or upward throw. As
with Zelda, fighting geographically can perform good Sheik combos - i.e.
varying the direction you hold the control stick during attacks. A
personal favourite of mine starts out with her dash, into her
roundhouse, her windmill kick, dash again, her up kick, and finish with
her upward stomp.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Target Test
I find it's best to do this as Sheik. Hit the one directly in front,
then jump to the left and hit that target. Now jump to the right side of
the area and hit the two targets (on a line!) with her jumpkick. Jump
back to the top, guide her to the upper targets with Vanish, hitting the
target under the platform with the explosion and slap the one above.
Jump to the upper left of the area, get on the very edge of the platform
above the target, throw the chain out and guide it downward. Now jump to
the right and go down to the lower area, and use the chain to hit the
two targets there. Now you have two options for the last target. You can
either turn into Zelda and hit it with Din's Fire, or stay as Sheik and
jump off and kick it. Presto!
