Alright, I've seen some sites in the Internet that have contradicting information about who voiced Zelda in Skyward Sword. Some say that it was Yu Shimamura while other say that it was Megumi Toyoguchi. Could someone be kind enough to get a clear confirmation to end this debate? Leader Vladimir ( talk) 04:25, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
@ User:Gabriel Yuji, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U are, accoring to the current Wikipedia article, respectively the fourth and fifth installments in the Smash Bros. series. "Sheik returned in the fourth Super Smash Bros. game as a separate character from Zelda" seems to only refer to Smash Bros. for 3DS, but this fact is also true for the Wii U version. I suggest "Sheik returned in the fourth and fifth Super Smash Bros. games as a separate character from Zelda." ~ Mable ( chat) 07:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Should Zelda's picture be changed from her Twilight Princess portrayal to her Breath of the Wild portrayal? It's her most recent appearance, and Twilight Princess came out more than a decade ago, so the current picture is a bit dated. Ashburning ( talk) 12:03, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Just so you know, the picture on Link's infobox was changed to something that represented all his incarnations equally in an attempt to avoid recentism. Even Ganon's picture is from an older game. Shouldn't we do the same for Zelda, as well? Leader Vladimir ( talk) 15:33, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
This article previously used a picture depicting this character as seen on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but it has since been reverted to a much older one. Aren't video game character articles meant to use the latest depiction available? 21:07, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
I can understand them not each getting their own page, but this acts like they're all the same person. Every girl in the Hyrulean royal family is named Zelda, and the games have featured many of them. This is like if there was a page on King Henry that just grouped them all into one person. The Zelda from Skyward Sword was a reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia, but from what I can find there's nothing saying all of them are reincarnations, and in any case if that's the implication here it seems like it would be more sensible to refer to her as Hylia. Also, the ones from Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: Adventure of Link are alive at the same time, which wouldn't work unless reincarnation involves time travel. — DanielLC 06:33, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

The page is a bit misleading in my opinion. Anyone who reads it could think all Zeldas are actually the same, which is the opposite. besides a few exceptions, they're all different characters with the same name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wizard2222 ( talk • contribs) 20:02, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
The article's 'Reception and Legacy' section has a strong gender bias, mostly discussing how 'hot' and 'beautiful' a 'babe' the Zelda character is. This is inappropriate and should be rewritten to focus on the cultural impact of the the Zelda princess character, or removed altogether.
Skadge ( talk) 11:17, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
This article is hugely out of date (no mention of Age of Calamity). It also provides no commentary regarding her role within the series other than basic reactions from critics. There are plenty of articles from reliable sources that discuss the character in detail. Perhaps when I have finished with Link, this should be the next priority. Fieryninja ( talk) 11:16, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
I've been trying to figure out what's up with the refs in the list of Japanese voice actors, and attempting to fix them, but to no avail. Could someone more Wikipedia-savvy help with this? Thanks. EthanRossie2000 08:40, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

@ Fieryninja: This is just some initial thoughts, not detailed. I'll put it On Hold for now, so we can take our time with this article. -- ProtoDrake ( talk) 19:10, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Fieryninja I couldn't find anything to hold it up, so I'll give this a Pass. If you want to take it further, or further improve things, then checking how many images this article needs realistically, and making sure references are archived. -- ProtoDrake ( talk) 23:13, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
