Every time I use Zelda, I get called cheap
Zelda is one of the worst characters in the game too ;_; (which is partly why I use her, the other is that she's fab)
They just cannot dodge Din's Fire, or projectiles in general, so I refrain from using it.

She's not bad at all. How good the characters are really depends on who's playing rather than some tier list...

In a game like Smash, the character's potential determines a lot, tbh

Consider Zelda's weaknesses: Slow, tall, predictable (and slow) recovery, light, floaty, attacks that can be escaped, unreliable kill moves, slow grab, 2nd worst dodge, no approach options, easily kept away, her projectile can be dodged on reaction always, etc

Consider Ganondorf's weaknesses: Slow, huge, slow, slow, slow, strong moves are all slow, fast moves are all weak, small range except in slow moves, slow, slow, slow

Consider Meta Knight's one weakness: light but that doesn't matter because he can cancel momentum

I love Zelda, but she is burdened with a lot of bad properties in a speed oriented game.

Not everybody plays in a super competitive way. Those things do contribute, but every character has good aspects about them that you can still take advantage of if you play more casually.

This isn't even super competitive...
Her many weaknesses were apparent since the Brawl scene started. The highest Zelda was on the tier list was lower mid. Then people learned how to properly dodge and she dropped to the lowest tier.

The tier list would be very different for free for alls, granted. Din's Fire being easy to dodge hardly matters when you can't react because someone else is smashing you and she can easily get in kicks of deaths on unsuspecting foes.
But the the best characters also get a boon (Meta Knight can keep groups at bay by himself)

I probably said this before but I use Zelda, Jiggly, Yoshi, and Toon Link.

Though I mostly play Project M where everything I said in my previous posts about Zelda is null.
People are actually saying Zelda is OP in PM! They're wrong but she is easily one of the stronger characters, imo.

Oh, use Kirby a bit too.

Besides those few, I kinda hate using anyone else
