Zelda's S-Tier At-tum-nment By ZeldaNoVorsu -- Report

 chibi-wolfy recently posted a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list based on Eka's Portal tags, and Zelda claimed the top spot, in no small part thanks to yours truly (Link also came in third, which makes sense when you think about it). I was a bit shocked to see how much I contributed and humbled to see how far I've come in my journey to bring/promote more Zelda pred content here. To celebrate, I decided to write a little something Zelda eating the bottom two characters on the list, Dr. Mario and Richter Belmont.

At some point one might ask “do we NEED more Zelda pred?” The answer to which is ALWAYS “yes.”

The answer is yes, but even if one were to try and say no, that would not stop me.

I feel like you're kind of cheating, since not only have you written plenty of stories on your own, you also inspired, me, Smax, Tech, and... maybe Crystal too? All of us definitely wrote more Zelda based stories because of you. And she could also be cheating by being the go-to tag for her series.

I guess you could argue that, but the sheer volume of what I have produced on my own is what really propelled Zelda to the top. What I inspired the four of you to do certainly is a sign my original goal worked at least a little though. I suppose there is that, but I try to avoid that myself and make sure to only tag her name if she herself appears.

Fair. I guess I'm technically guilty of that with the Sheik story, but I didn't put it for the Purah story at least.

I've been doing stat breakdowns in the comments of the original tier list whenever appropriate, so since a bunch of names got mentioned:

Total: 2035
ZNV: 782
Smax: 104
derpsquid: 76
tech: 36 (assuming this is techtician? I didn't see any others with a notable Zelda tag count)
Crystal: 13 (again, making assumptions based on the tag hits - is this CrystalKiller88?)

You're perfectly correct in pointing out she shares a name with the series name, though. It's actually kind of a problem on Eka's if I'm being honest, there's equal potential for tags to be vauge and uninformative or downright redundant, and there really isn't any enforced separation of character/series tags or merging of pointless fluff like there would be for say, E621. Almost certainly the same reason power suit samus beat zero suit too, lmfao.

Yeah, you got the nicknames right. 76, huh? Pretty sure a lot of that is thanks to ZNV.

I suppose there's the "princess zelda" tag, but not only does that not apply to one incarnation of the character, it's not treated as a green character tag like "Zelda" is. "Legend of Zelda" makes more sense for a series one, but the amount of effort one would need to put in to fully differentiate those tags just wouldn't be worth the effort.

And of course, Zelda herself gets a lot of help from all her different versions in different games.

The biggest shame in seeing this is realizing that I missed the fucking *period* in Dr. Mario's Eka's tag, and consequently never realized he did not in fact have zero entries to his name, aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
