The 'Zeldass' meme, also known as Zelda's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Butt, originated shortly after the game's reveal when fans noticed Princess Zelda’s redesign based on 'A Link to the Past' and 'A Link Between Worlds.' The community quickly fixated on specific character model details and victory screen animations that highlighted her physique. While primarily used for lighthearted 'thirsty' posting or humorous commentary on character design evolution, the meme became a staple within the Nintendo and competitive Smash communities. It represents the internet's tendency to hyper-fixate on character details while celebrating the more expressive and charming personality given to Zelda in the Ultimate installment.
