The official website for the
Nintendo's new
Super Smash Bros. video game for the
Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems
announced on Sunday that Princess Zelda from the
The Legend of Zelda series is returning to the fighting game as a playable fighter. Zelda has been available as a playable fighter in the series since
Super Smash Bros. Melee for the
Nintendo GameCube.
Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai commented on Zelda's addition, saying, "...To celebrate the launch of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds in Japan, Zelda joins the battle!! It's great to see so many female characters this time around."
More screenshots of the character are

Both versions of the game are scheduled to be released sometime in 2014.
