let go to turn it into a small explosion.

ZELDA- HER STRENGTHS

Zelda is good for quicker, stronger or heavier opponents such as Roy, Pichu or 
Donkey Kong, since her attacks are stronger than sheik's.  She is better than Sheik 
in 1-on-1 battles because she has strong moves that affect one opponent.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
SHEIK- HER STRENGTHS

Sheik is good for slower, lighter, or less powerful opponents such as Ganandorf, 
Ness, or Jigglypuff.  Sheik's moves are good for 2-on-2 battles because her Chain 
can juggle multiple foes at once. Her Needle Storm is good for slow opponents, 
because she can gather more needles if the target is taking a while to get to her.

ZELDA- HER WEAKNESSES

Zelda runs slower and jumps lower than sheik, and most of the other characters. 
though her moves are strong, she lacks a superstrong KO move.  Also, after she uses
Farore's wind, she cannot move horizontally much while falling, and she is 
vunerable.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
SHEIK- HER WEAKNESSES

Although Sheik is fast and jumps better than Zelda, she doesn't have strong attacks 
that send the opponent flying. Even though she has great dodging, it doesn't do 
much good in KOing the foe. Also, Vanish is weak in the same ways "Farore's wind" 
is.
