(1)Link vs (4)Zelda (Legends Bracket) 2018

Ulti's Analysis
The craziness from the day before (Mario v Samus III) clearly spilled over into this one, plus Zelda had a bandwagon effect going. She actually opened a pretty big lead for the first few minutes of this match (77 votes) before getting completely buried, instead of just getting completely buried right from the jump. Given this happened the last time these two had a match together (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2901-division-4-round-2-link-bidoof-vincent-zelda), I consider this a major step up for Zelda. It remains to be seen if this is sustainable strength, but for this year her performance was great.

That's how dominant Link was. We consider him "only" getting 64% on Zelda a minor miracle. Which it kind of was. Link is the king of SFF on this site, so for Zelda to do this is one hell of an accomplishment. Just this year, he almost got 80% on Ganondorf and got 68% on Pikachu, not to mention all the crazy beatings Link has put on people over the years. Zelda from his own series getting 37% is awesome, and puts her square in elite strength territory.

It really, really sucks we didn't get Zelda vs Samus this year. That would have potentially been an amazing match. Maybe next time! This one gave Link the win in the legends bracket, where he waited the winner of the losers bracket for the grand final.
