Which Princess Zelda Is The Strongest? (Legend of Zelda Power Ranking)

This isn’t a zelda ranking, he’s not even using his sword or wearing his tunic

At long last...5 years after the link and ganondorf videos...we can finally complete the triforce with zelda.

I feel like not mentioning Tetra's cameo in Spirit Tracks does her leadership score a disservice. She's long dead by then but it's confirmed she Founded and was the first Queen of New Hyrule.

I'd give Skyward Zelda a little bit more in the physical category, since she's a student at the Knights' Academy and therefore has presumably undergone the same combat training as the rest of them. Her having been captured easily doesn't mean she's weak, only that she was caught off guard on the weirdest day of her life so far.

Awesome video! Can't wait for the finale of this series: "Which Incarnation of Beedle is the strongest"

I felt the Zelda's who used the bow had their strength rating way too low. It takes a considerable amount of skill and strength to use a bow repeatedly and accurately. Additionally the Twilight princess Zelda used the bow from horse back which would also be a considerable feat of strength and marital ability. Also I feel some of the Zelda's had their tactical abilities overlooked. In many of the final battles Zelda is able to identify weaknesses that Link can exploit to defeat the boss. I guess I'm just nit picking, the list overall was good and a fun watch.

Regardless of what people think of Spirit Tracks, I will always be thankful that it was a very experimental game and gave us what basically is the first Princess Zelda that takes an active role alongside Link. She broke the mold and paved the way for the princesses that followed her. She was the first Zelda that was a companion to link and the first to be present all throughout the story. Spirit tracks is as much as Link's adventure as is hers, and watching her break the mold and develop her relationship with Link as the story progresses was incredibly satisfying. So THANK YOU Zeltik for taking her seriously and giving her justice. Especially since she is just a child when the events of the game happen, and she has already taking the role of a leader and now a warrior that helps and protects Link.

Zeldom forgot that Skyward Sword Zelda isn't a princess, but a student or possible graduate at the Knight Academy, which is a martial school as much as an educational school. Considering that she's chosen to be the one who hands over the Sailcloth at the Wing Ceremony (rather than any other female character, student or otherwise), it's possible that's she's a graduate (but keeps her room, because daddy is the Headmaster). Further, as we saw in the ending, not only did she make it to the Skyview Spring and to the entrance to the Fire Sanctuary, she did so on foot, alone, and without a weapon. That's in two vastly separate locations, with one on top of a ruddy volcano. Link needed to ride a giant chicken-thing to get around the Surface, and how many times did he get discovered & clobbered when running around weaponless in the significantly-smaller Silent Realm? Yeah. So I'd say making it from the Sealed Temple all the way to near the top of Eldin Volcano, with a stop in the Deep Woods along the way with nothing but sandals and a harp, without discovery, to be exceptional. It's only after Link is late to the party that she has any help while traversing the Surface. She's then shown in the very next scene...skipping in the desert. People do not skip in the desert. Her physicality rating, for these facts that were overlooked, should rank her an 9 on that bar at least. If she'd had a sword or bow she might've solo'd the entire game.

Props to Terra's physicality - we do see her high jump over Ganon and dodge his strikes at the forsaken fortress. She's only nabbed by him when she is distracted by link - the great goof.

No way he finally made it

I have to wonder if Skyward Zelda is really that physically weak. Sure she's not a student at the knight academy but she does live there and hangs out with the knights regularly giving her a bit of a tomboy streak. It's hard to believe she didn't pick up a thing or two in that time. Sure she was captured by red bokoblins but Link didn't fare too well against them either without his gear.

Y’know, Spirit Tracks might not be very popular, but those of us who love it really love it! It’s nice to see its Zelda get the credit she deserves.

Spirit tracks Zelda stated at the beginning of the game that she suspects a reason behind the minister's suspicious behaviour other than concern for her safety. Zelda also realises that something is wrong in the kingdom and asks Link for help to ask the Lokomo for advice in the Tower of the Gods. This is quite mature behaviour for her age (If I remember correctly, she's around 10 years old).

I kind of disagree with the use of light dragon for physical ranking since unlike her other most powerful forms she isn't capable of using her items or much of her intellect. It almost feels like its more equivalent to a trapped state, albeit one with immense power. Anyways loved the video and am happy to see a new addition to this series

It's wonderful how the scene of Zelda sealing herself in SS never fails to almost bring a tear to my eyes, just like Fi's Farewell. I absolutely love that game

As a sailor apprentice on old ships myself, I can confirm that Tetra is absolutely badass for being able to be a pirate captain on high seas at 12 yo, especially with her courage to actually physically fight Ganondorf.

Since Spirit Tracks is one of my favorite Zelda games, I was very pleasantly surprised to see its Zelda rank so high.

Twilight Princess Zelda got robbed in the physical strength category. Link can get yeeted out of his saddle over the course of that horse-back fight against Ganondorf, but zelda stays firmly mounted on Epona's back while riding without a saddle through the sheer strength of her thighs. Girl does not skip leg day!

This got me thinking about what adult Tetra would look like...

Sheik didn’t just show strength and ability but also great wisdom, leadership, and intelligence. Definitely a top 5 character of all time and it’s not debatable.
