Editing List of other SSBU characters (section)

==The Legend of Zelda characters==
*Link - The legendary hero of Hyrule, who has appeared in multiple incarnations over the course of time, wielding the Triforce of Courage and called upon by the three Golden Goddesses to wield the Master Sword and defeat the evil Ganon before the three pieces of the Triforce can be collected. Link has appeared in every ''SSB'' game since the original game, but holds the unique distinction of doing so in name only, as the first two games featured the Hero of Time from ''Ocarina of Time'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and the 3DS/Wii U installments of ''Smash'' saw the inclusion of the Hero of Twilight from ''Twilight Princess'', and ''Ultimate'' replaced both with the Hero of the Wild from ''Breath of the Wild''.

*Zelda - The Hylian princess and namesake of the franchise, who has also appeared in multiple incarnations over the course of time, wielding the Triforce of Wisdom, and kidnapped by Ganon to have the second Triforce piece. Similar to Link, multiple incarnations of Zelda have appeared in ''Smash'', with ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', her debut ''Smash'' game, featuring her ''Ocarina of Time'' incarnation, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and the 3DS/Wii U installments of ''Smash'' featuring her ''Twilight Princess'' incarnation, and ''Ultimate'' featuring her ''A Link to the Past'' incarnation (with some design cues taken from ''A Link Between Worlds''). The character can be unlocked by:
**Going through VS Matches, with Zelda being the 2nd character to unlock, or Classic Mode with Kirby and those in his unlock tree up to Pac-Man. After either condition is met, she must be defeated on Temple.
**Recruiting her in the Sacred Land in the World of Light.

*Ganondorf - The King of Evil too has appeared in multiple incarnations over the course of time, wielding the Triforce of Power and wanting all three Triforce pieces for himself so he can take over the land of Hyrule. Unlike Link and Zelda, however, Ganondorf is the same being, being cursed to be resurrected repeatedly until the end of time. Usually known by his moniker "Ganon", his Gerudo form takes on the name "Ganondorf", with the latter being able to transform into the former. Ganondorf, like Zelda, made his ''SSB'' debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', appearing in his ''Ocarina of Time'' incarnation, before appearing in his ''Twilight Princess'' incarnation in both ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and the 3DS/Wii U installments of ''Smash'', before returning to his ''Ocarina of Time'' incarnation in ''Ultimate''. The character can be unlocked by:
**Going through VS Matches, with Ganondorf being the 40th character to unlock, or Classic Mode with Yoshi and those in his unlock tree up to Ryu. After either condition is met, he must be defeated on Bridge of Eldin.
**Recruiting him in the Sacred Realm in the World of Light.

*Sheik - Debuting in ''Ocarina of Time'', Sheik claimed to be a member of the Sheikah clan, and appeared at various times to help Link out, teaching him new songs to play on his ocarina. In the middle of the game, however, Sheik reveals herself to be Zelda in disguise, having used magic to change her appearance to avoid being captured by Ganondorf. Sheik debuted in the ''SSB'' series in a unique way, being the first transformation character - she and Zelda could swap between each other via a special move, changing their moveset entirely, before being separated in the 3DS/Wii U installments of ''Smash'' due to technical limitations of the 3DS. The character can be unlocked by:
**Going through VS Matches, with Sheik being the 47th character to unlock, or Classic Mode with Donkey Kong and those in his unlock tree up to King Dedede. After either condition is met, she must be defeated on Gerudo Valley.
**Recruiting her in the beginning segment in the World of Light - players have the option to choose between her, Marth, and Villager.

*Young Link - The younger version of the Hero of Time from ''Ocarina of Time'', later continuing to adventure in ''Majora's Mask'', appeared as a separate character from his older version in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', and is one of two characters that did not make another playable ''Smash'' appearance until ''Ultimate'', with the other being Pichu. The character can be unlocked by:
**Going through VS Matches, with Young Link being the 8th character to unlock, or Classic Mode with Link and those in his unlock tree up to Snake. After either condition is met, he must be defeated on Great Bay.
**Recruiting him in the Sacred Realm in the World of Light.

*Toon Link - The Hero of Winds, first debuting in ''The Wind Waker'', had a more cartoonish appearance in comparison to the other incarnations of Link, and replaced Young Link in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', before appearing alongside him in ''Ultimate''. The character can be unlocked by:
**Going through VS Matches, with Toon Link being the 44th character to unlock, or Classic Mode with Link and those in his unlock tree up to Richter. After either condition is met, he must be defeated on Pirate Ship.
**Recruiting him in Forest Hill in the World of Light.
