It seems like people really think that Cloud is Zelda worst match up but that really isn't true. Cloud is a very good character mainly because of his limit break, his cross slash, and his up air, plus all of his other moves piece together perfectly to make him well rounded with everything except his recovery of course. Now Zelda on the other hand does not have as much going for her. She is not that good but her move set is not as bad as people think against Cloud. First of all Zelda's great at guarding, and since Clouds recovery is trash she has an easy time doing so. Not only that, but Cloud has trouble grabbing the ledge which is why half to fully charged phantom can easily knock him further from the stage. Additionally, if there are platforms on the stage, then if Cloud gonna try to juggle you with his up airs then Zelda can just edge cancel onto a platform and get onto the ground safely. Another thing is that if timed and spaced correctly, Zelda's up air beats out Cloud's dair which would give Cloud a harder time getting to the ground. Now I never said Zelda has an advantage but nor a disadvantage against Cloud, he can still punish Zelda with her laggy moves but she can do the same, that's why this match up is 50/50.
