These are my top 3, but it may be BOTW on top just based on design.

Now this my type of a thread

Skyward Sword Zelda, without a single doubt in my heart:

Literally everything about it is perfect, at least to me.

I really like Breath of the Wild Zelda too. To me, the more regal Zelda designs, while quite good, are actually kind or boring compared to her more recent iterations.

you a good one

 

[foxuzamaki]

Which ever one has the biggest eyebrows.

Not a proper mio representation

 

[Shikoba]

Really dig BotW Zelda the most probably.

This for sure. I love her BotW design.

 

[Slamtastic]

Breath of the Wild > Hyrule Warriors > Skyward Sword > Twilight Princess > Wind Waker > the rest of them

 

[Razmos]

You expose yourself when posting Hyrule Warriors Zelda here, just sayin'. 😉

Expose that they have good taste?

I think Skyward Sword is my all time favourite. Unsure of BoTW Zelda as I haven't played it yet, but I like her design. Hyrule Warriors Zelda is great too

 

[Dark Ninja]

They expose that they like good character design?

Team Ninja are great at it, no shame.

Best Impa design too

 

[Joey Ravn]

I had never realized that Twilight Princess Zelda is a brunette. Wonder why they decided to go back to that design, just to make her blonde again in WW.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Tetra before they turned her into generic princess bait. She's the only one with an actual personality that isn't just 'waifu' IMO.

If she doesn't count then TP Zelda because she was like an actual queen.

 

[NEO0MJ]

I don't like the SS design because she looks too much like Barbra Streisand.

 

[victreeb3l]

Skyward Sword Zelda is the best so far. Still going through BoTW so my opinion might change.

Hyrule Warriors Zelda design is badass.

 

[CronoShot]

Twilight Princess. Particularly the art for the HD version.

Honorable mentions: Skyward Sword, Hyrule Warriors, Breath of the Wild

 

[cwistofu]

Hyrule Warriors's version of TP Zelda

 

[redcrayon]

I quite like her in Spirit Tracks, particularly the scene where she's sending Link off on a dangerous adventure as per usual then realised that she's going to have to join him. Great stuff.

Other than that I think the TP design is a timeless classic- elegant and regal. BotW, as a more practical look, is good too, and the detail in the Hyrule Warriors version is also nice (although I'm not sure why she'd go for a split dress and stockings under her greaves just to have her upper legs on show rather than a nice pair of trousers for the battlefield but hey, computer games).

It's interesting that there's so many versions of the character and they all add something different to her persona though.

 

[Viewtiful]

Her visual design in Skyward Sword is my favorite.

 

[Anth0ny]

Ss and ww


And Melee sheik

 

[febLey]

1. Hyrule Warrios
2. Wind Waker
3. Skyward Sword

 

[Greddleok]

Never played Skyward Sword, but man that's a great Zelda design. I love it.

 

[Octavianus]

I like the ones from Skyward Sword and BOTW equally.

Twilight Princess is my least favourite.

 

[StayDead]

I really can't decide so I'm just going to go with all of them.

They're all great for different reasons.

 

[Renekton]

I like this a lot!

 

[ffvorax]

Not a real Zelda fan, played only OOT,MM,TP,WW.

But I say TP, loved all the char design of that game.

 

[cireza]

Voting for Twilight Princess.

 

[Hexagon!]

TP Zelda is the best. I hope always keep this design for SSB.

She's the coolest.

 

[smashballTaz]

My votes are for Skyward Sword Zelda and Toon Zelda.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild.
Zelda is cute! Cute!

 

[Magicpaint]

Twilight Princess Zelda by far. There's no comparison.

OoT young Zelda is cute though. I do not care about SS Zelda.

 

[Rafavert]

All hail Hilda!

Spoiler

I'd say Hyrule Warriors, actually.

 

[PsionBolt]

A Link Between Worlds. You want cute? You want elegant? Look no further.

Oh, but you wanted cool? ALBW has you covered there, too.

 

[Yazuka]

1. Skyward Sword
- One of the few things I really liked about SS was Zelda's design. it's one of my alltime favorite. I also like her character a lot in that game.

2. Hyrule Warriors
- If not for SS thins would have snagged the first Place, I absolutely love it!
But then again that goes for Link, Impa and other returning characters. Their design in HW are some of the best. Wish they would adopt them for more classic Zelda game. Or make them available via costumes in Smash Bros.

3. Twilight Princess
- I didn't really like it t first, but it has grown a lot on me. Much thanks to the HD version of TP. Really looking forward to the upcoming figma figurine.

 

[JordanKZ]

Zelda's regal dress in BoTW is an excellent design.

Although Tetra is clearly the best Zelda in terms of character, Skyward Sword Zelda is an amazing version of that character. Her character and art design are spot on.

 

[Greddleok]

A Link Between Worlds. You want cute? You want elegant? Look no further.

Oh, but you wanted cool? ALBW has you covered there, too.

This looks like one of those "get a girl who does both" meme posts on instagram.

 

[Kudo]

Wind Waker, Toon Zelda has always been my favourite.
I've never played ALBW but looking at those pics I really dig her design too, need to play it one day.
BOTW design is warming up to me quickly but I think WW will stay as my favourite. (Those damn eyebrows are so charming)

 

[Akiller]

Best Impa design too

Damn it, i need an Impa Gaiden game,
or Impa oh.

 

[EvilKatarn]

Her Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild designs are really good and distinctive as well.

 

[snow in jamaica]

The TP and ALttP Zeldas have neat hairdos.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

I'm going to say Skyward Sword, not only do I love that game but I really love that take on Zelda. BoTW is getting up there too for Zelda design, after that I would probably say Twilight Princess Zelda.

I had never realized that Twilight Princess Zelda is a brunette. Wonder why they decided to go back to that design, just to make her blonde again in WW.

Wind Waker came out before Twilight Princess, so it went the other way around.

 

[Pyroblazer]

Yeah I love TP zelda too. Also like SS and BotW Zelda. Tetra and Shiek are cool too, but probably because of the fact they are like completely different characters.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Partial to both Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild personally. Throwing in Twilight Princess as another contender, however -- they've only been getting better over time, IMO.

 

[ResidentWeevil13]

Tetra is the right answer. Too bad she was forced to wear a dress and lose her bad ass attitude when she was revealed as Zelda.

Edit: I'm looking through the other responses and I am so surprised that Tetra isn't getting more love. All the other Zeldas seem so boring and safe to me. I guess I would say OOT Zelda is also an acceptable answer because of

Spoiler

sheik

[SegaShack]

No love for the 3D O.G.?

My favorite too.

I mean, obviously.

We've a winner!

 

[psychowave]

Twilight Princess by far. I love SS but SS Zelda is just a moe animu childhood friend. TP Zelda looks a lot more interesting to me.

I'm liking BoTW Zelda quite a bit too though, she might come in second.
