BOOK I - Speed By The Numbers (Smashboards)

The numbers behind Zelda's grounded movement speed and options.
Some things to note:
-The absolute fastest speed you can accomplish on the ground (outside farore's wind) is a perfect waveland.
-Crossing flat ground is fastest with Farore's Wind, if you can afford the time and space to do so.
-Wavesurfing is your second fastest option.
-Her initial dash speed and maximum dash speed are identical; you move at full speed almost instantly.
