PAST SEASONS

S1: In Season 1, Zelda made her debut alongside 5 other amiibos. With only 6 to begin with, there wasn't a lot of room for error. Overshadowed by the then it boys, Marth and Link, none of the other amiibos were able to really shine. Though she did win a few tournaments that season, she ultimately ended near the bottom of the pack.

S2: Zelda's crowning moment was Season 2. Probably the biggest change in Amiibo Wars history, so many new amiibos were brought in and still Zelda proved that experience trumps all. Lucario/Diddy Kong/Rosalina were really hogging the spotlight in season 2, but as the tournament went on, an underdog arose. Absolutely dominating tournament after tournament, Zelda's points skyrocketed her right to the top. No one saw it coming, but a well deserved Championship Win fell into her lap and once again a Zelda Universe Amiibo holds the championship.

S3: Season 3 was a bit of a reinvention of the old formula to spice things up. I will safely say it was a flawed idea that didn't really play into the favor of all amiibos. It really was a season geared towards the strongest 1v1 competitors, and though Zelda has been known to do well in 1v1's, she's more well rounded and great in a group match environment more so. So in this instance, she saw a bit of a decline and landed in 13th place for the season. This was a big dip from her previous Championship Win.

S4: Season 4 introduced perma elimination. Never before had Amiibo Wars put so much pressure on the amiibos to perform. A bad run sent them out the door for the rest of the season. In Zelda's case, she held her own, competing with some of the best. Most of the season she managed to keep herself right out of elimination range but not going above and beyond in her groups. She did finish in 8th Place which is very good by today's standards, considering how many amiibos are now competing in the tournament series.

S5: Season 5 is where Zelda hit rock bottom. After a new training method refreshed all previous knowledge of amiibos, Zelda seemed to be a little out of her league. Though a lot of amiibos retained their effectiveness, some previously great amiibos were now less than. Zelda didn't perform well in the Challenger Series and didn't even make the Top 20. She was shockingly out in the first round. It's a major disappointment for the previous Champion. Is she ever going to return to her former glory?

S6: Once again leaving us disappointed, Zelda seemed to still be on tilt. Though her performance was improving, she didn't perform well enough to even make it out of the Wildcard Preseason event. Ultimately, she was eliminated before the season even began. Her shot at advancing to the Challenger Series was stolen from her by King Dedede, who's Phase 2 upset put him 1 point ahead of the princess. Zelda has fallen from grace, and it's hard to say if she will ever make it back into the spotlight again. There are so many amazing talents in Amiibo Wars now who are vying for stardom and their shot at a Championship Win.
