Ranking Princess Zelda’s Designs
Zelda 1/Adventure of Link
Tumblr media
So this was Zelda? Yep, this is early installment weirdness at its finest. 1/10
A Link To The Past/A Link Between Worlds/Smash Ultimate
Tumblr media
Okay, now this design would be the base for almost every Zelda design in the series, and I can see why. It looks regal and almost divine looking, like she 100% looks like a princess that’s a reincarnation of god. 10/10
Ocarina of Time (Young)
Tumblr media
She looks less like a princess and more like a priestess or nun, but the design for the kid isn’t that bad, especially since the pink on her attire is swapped out for more of a magenta-esque color, which honestly works a lot. 8/10
Ocarina of Time (Adult)
Tumblr media
This design is rather fitting for Zelda, especially the colors. The shoulder pads, the blonde hair, and the usuage of different shades of purple and pink are rather nice and keep the design from being distracting. However it is the weaker design in comparison to some of the others on this list. 9/10
Tetra
Tumblr media
Tetra IS supposed to be a reincarnation of Zelda, but you wouldn’t see that at first glance. She looks more akin to an adventurous little rascal rather than a proper princess, which honestly fits well with how she’s portrayed in the game. 10/10
Toon Zelda
Tumblr media
I like the outfit, and I like how much it perfectly captures the likeness of OOT Zelda (with a few modifications to the design), but what is up with her crown? 9/10
Four Swords
Tumblr media
No… just no. 2/10
Twilight Princess/Smash Bros
Tumblr media
This design is absolutely iconic, and completely unique. The brown hair, the white and magenta dress, the more reserved yet battle ready appearance, and the fact that it’s an upgraded version of the OOT design make this design for Zelda work stand out amongst the others. Instant 10/10
Skyward Sword (Regular)
Tumblr media
God this design is so good in context. Zelda in this game is not a princess, so of course her appearance looks more casual here, giving her personality a chance to show itself. Honestly it’s a breath of fresh air, but at the same time it keeps some elements of her older designs. 10/10
Skyward Sword (White Gown)
Tumblr media
It’s just her with a white gown, but the imagery here is as clear as day. She’s meant to resemble Hylia, and in all honesty, I can see it. 9/10
Hyrule Warriors
Tumblr media
I like the whole warrior princess design she has in this game, but I do believe it’s not something that would work in the main series. Still perfect for this game. 10/10
Breath of The Wild
Tumblr media
Despite her more reserved appearance, this isn’t her royal attire, this is the closest thing she has to a casual appearance. Still it words, primarily because of the blue, and the fact that the outfit itself feels less like something a princess would wear and more like something a researcher would slap on, and considering Zelda usually represents Wisdom and the fact that she’s a complete autistic geek in this part of the timeline, it’s fitting. Instant 10/10
Breath of The Wild (Royal Attire)
Tumblr media
Her royal attire is perfect. The royal blue, the tiara, and the fact that it keeps elements of her main design while altering them to fit better with the fact that she IS in her “princess clothes” is great. Another Instant 10/10
Breath of The Wild (Cerimonial Robes)
Tumblr media
The pure white dress, combined with the gold are perfect. It’s basically an upgraded version of Skyward Sword Zelda’s alternate attire, and I’m all for it. Yet another instant 10/10
Tears of The Kingdom
Tumblr media
Not really much has changed, aside from the fact that she got a haircut and bought a hood. Still a 10/10
Tears of The Kingdom (Zonai Outfit)
Tumblr media
I like the green on the dress, but if I’m being honest, Zelda, honey this attire is weaker than your other ones. 9/10
