Super Smash Bros.

SmashWiki article:Link (SSB)

InSuper Smash Bros., Link is one of the default playable characters. Specifically, he is the "Hero of Time" fromThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Link is the first character fought in single player mode, onHyrule Castle.

Link's standard special move in this game is theBoomerang, in which Link tosses a boomerang to damage opponents. His up special move is theSpin Attack, in which he spins around rapidly to deal damage, and his down special isBomb, in which Link pulls out a bomb to throw. In addition, Link's grab move uses theHookshot, an item also taking its appearance fromOcarina of Time that can also be used as awall grapple. Link's up and down aerials are theJump Thrust andDown Thrust, both of which originated inZelda II: The Adventure of Link.

Two of Link's alternate colorations in this game are based upon theGoron andZora Tunics fromThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, while his final coloration is based upon his outfit after collecting theBlue Ring inThe Legend of Zelda.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Link (SSBM)
SmashWiki article:Young Link (SSBM)

InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, two incarnations of Link are playable. The first is the adult "Hero of Time" and is simply called "Link"; he was in the previous game and reappears inMelee as a starter. The second is the younger "Hero of Time" (also fromThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) and is called "Young Link"; players can only play as him after beating Classic or Adventure mode with 10 characters or playing 500 matches, then defeating him onGreat Bay.

The older Link's standard special attack is theBow, which lets him shoot an arrow that can be charged; the boomerang returns as his side special move. His other specials are kept the same, as has the Hookshot. This is also the firstSuper Smash Bros. game to feature Link's ability to use hisHylian Shield to defend himself from projectile attacks while standing still. Young Link's moves are similar to his older counterpart's, though while Young Link is faster and lighter, he is also weaker. As Young Link is shorter and wields the smallerKokiri Sword, his attacks do not have as much range. Young Link's Deku Shield is also not as strong as the older Link's Hylian Shield, as it does not protect against stronger projectiles. Young Link, however, canWall Jump.

In the game's Adventure Mode, the older Link is fought in theUnderground Maze stage. He can be found at fake pedestals for the Master Sword (wearing a different tunic each time) as fighters search for the Triforce to end the level.

Additionally, a doppelganger known asDark Link, appears inSuper Smash Bros. Melee as the opponent inEvent 18: Link's Adventure. In the battle, the player controls a red-clad adult Link, who has twoextra lives. The fighter must defeat Dark Link, who also has two lives. The two swordsmen are fought at the Temple, with no time limit. This Event Match is a reference to the ending ofZelda II: The Adventure of Link, where a similar Dark Link served as the game's final boss.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Link (SSBB)
SmashWiki article:Toon Link (SSBB)

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, two incarnations of Link are playable. The first is the "Hero of Twilight" fromThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, who is simply called "Link" and is available from the start. The second is the "Hero of Winds" fromThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, who is called "Toon Link" and must be unlocked first. TheWind Waker incarnation can be unlocked by either finding a door in The Forest in The Subspace Emissary after beating the mode, playing Classic after clearing The Subspace Emissary, or by playing 400 Brawl matches, then defeating him in battle.

The bow (now called "Hero's Bow") and bombs have been aesthetically changed to match theirTwilight Princess designs, while the boomerang is now theGale Boomerang, which generates a whirlwind that can drag in opponents as it returns. The Hookshot is now theClawshot fromTwilight Princess, which, when used offstage, can home in on edges and grab them unlike the Hookshot; however, it is now a tether recovery, as opposed to a wall grapple. Toon Link's special moves are mostly the same as the other Link's, though Toon Link's attacks use theirThe Wind Waker variants. The only different move is the Boomerang, which is the same as the Hero of Time's Boomerang inSuper Smash Bros. Melee. Toon Link's grab also uses theHookshot fromThe Wind Waker, which like the Clawshot also has a ledge-homing property, though its range is not as far. Both Links have aFinal Smash calledTriforce Slash.

Dark Link also reappears in this game, where he returns in two Event Matches. The first,Event 18: Dark Link Duel, is similar to the match from Melee, but it is fought on theBridge of Eldin instead, and is a stamina match rather than using lives. The second,smashwiki:Co-Op Event 7: Battle of the Dark Sides, is the same as Dark Link Duel, but with the addition ofSamus andher counterpart assisting Link and Dark Link, respectively.

Versions of Dark Link appear as palette swaps for both playable Links. The Hero of Twilight's is based on the"interlopers" fromThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, whereas Toon Link's is based off Shadow Link fromThe Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. Additionally, Toon Link's red, blue, and purple alternate costumes are based upon the copies of the Link fromThe Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. He also has an alternate costume based upon the Link from the originalThe Legend of Zelda, as well as a Dark Link costume.

Role in The Subspace Emissary

While walking through a forest, the "Hero of Twilight" Link finds the Master Sword. Taking it in hand, he meets up withYoshi, forming an alliance. They later meetMario andPit, though under circumstances where Mario/Link defeats an evil copy ofZelda/Peach, leading to a fight. The two groups come to an understanding (andKirby joins up as well) and unite as they seeKing Dedede driving off withNess,Luigi, and the captured Princess.

They come to Dedede's base, only to find thatBowser has beaten them to it, taking the Princess off in hisKoopa Clown Car. The team grows in size as they meet withIke,Marth,Lucas, thePokémon Trainer, and theIce Climbers. The remaining heroes join them as they enterSubspace. Link is among the many that falls toTabuu's Off Waves, later revived by Kirby. He and Zelda come acrossGanondorf's trophy and revive him, forming a temporary alliance as everyone teams up to defeat Tabuu.

After beating The Subspace Emissary, in The Forest stage, if the player enters the first red door in the beginning of the level, they will be taken to thePirate Ship. There, Toon Link will be looking out to the sea. However, once he sees the player, he is surprised. Thinking the player is an enemy, he attacks the player. The player then fights Toon Link, and if he is beaten, Toon Link is unlocked as a playable character.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

SmashWiki article:Link (SSB4)
SmashWiki article:Toon Link (SSB4)

Both Links reappear inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U as starter playable characters, under their respective "Link" and "Toon Link" names. Due to these games' more vibrant aesthetic, they have a noticeably brighter color scheme than inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. Some of the Hero of Twilight's non-special moves have been altered, such as his down aerial gaining a meteor smash effect and gaining theJump Slash as his new dash attack. His Hylian Shield can also now block projectiles while crouching and walking. Toon Link is faster than before, but in exchange, his damage output is lower.

The Hero of Twilight retains all of his alternate costumes fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, while gaining two more: one based on the clothes worn by the "Hero of the Skies" during the beginning ofThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and another based onFierce Deity Link, a transformation Link can obtain at the end ofThe Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.[19] One of Toon Link's additional alternate costumes in this game is based upon the appearance of the Link fromThe Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Additionally, the Link fromThe Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (also known as "Engineer Link") appears as a background character, complete with hisEngineer's Clothes to further differentiate him. Engineer Link appears on theSpirit Train stage in theNintendo 3DS version, where he conducts the titular train. However, he is replaced by his mentorAlfonzo if Toon Link or Link are involved in the battle.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Link (SSBU)
SmashWiki article:Young Link (SSBU)
SmashWiki article:Toon Link (SSBU)

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, three incarnations of Link are playable. The first is the "Hero of the Wild" fromThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, who is simply called "Link" and is available at the start. The other two are the same "Young Link" and "Toon Link" incarnations from the previous games, and they must be unlocked before they can be playable.

Compared to previous incarnations, the "Hero of the Wild" takes on many different stances during battle. While this is purely aesthetic in some instances, he also leans further when performing attacks, giving them greater range, yet making his hurtbox more vulnerable to attacks. On a related note, the blade of hisMaster Sword is longer, increasing the range in his attacks, and his forward smash's first hit is capable of firing aSword Beam while his damage is at 0%. Although he uses a regular Boomerang like he does inSuper Smash Bros. andSuper Smash Bros. Melee, his other special moves noticeably deviate from his predecessors':his Bow is capable of firing two arrows at once, he uses theRemote BombRune instead of his Bombs as his down special, andhis Final Smash uses anAncient Bow to fire anAncient Arrow. Young Link gains aFinal Smash, the Triforce Slash, which he shares with Toon Link. Toon Link's moveset is largely unchanged, though his forward smash is now a single upward slash instead of two slashes with hisMaster Sword.

In the World of Light, Young Link's puppet fighter is fought in the Triforce of Courage section of the Sacred Land, referencing his home series. He must be awoken to progress the story, along with Ganondorf, Zelda,Sonic, and Cloud. Engineer Link also reappears as a background character on the Spirit Train stage. In comparison to the previous installment, he appears virtually identical to the playable Toon Link (save for his Engineer's Clothes), instead of using a polygonal model similar to his appearance inSpirit Tracks.

Link'sfighter spirit uses his artwork fromThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Young Link's fighter spirit uses his artwork fromThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Toon Link's fighter spirit also uses his artwork fromThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Link, Young Link, and Toon Link also make appearances in a few primary spirits and support spirits.

Classic Mode routes

By completing the "Hero of the Wild" Link's Classic Mode route, it is possible to unlockKing K. Rool, theIce Climbers,Simon,Meta Knight,Snake, Young Link,Richter, or Toon Link. His Classic Mode route pits him against characters that are in some way associated with darkness, with the fight against the dark-costumed Link being a reference to Dark Link. Young Link's Classic Mode route pits him against fighters fromThe Legend of Zelda series. Throughout Toon Link's route, the player is assisted by a red and blue Toon Link, in reference toThe Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. If the player selects one of those colors, the default green Toon Link replaces that color as the second ally.

Mario Kart 8 /Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

From Kotaku. (http://kotaku.com/zelda-f-zero-coming-to-mario-kart-8-1627150730)
Link driving aStandard Kart onMario Circuit inMario Kart 8

InMario Kart 8, Link appears as a downloadable playable character in theThe Legend of Zelda ×Mario Kart 8 downloadable content pack. This marks his first playable appearance of any kind in theSuper Mario franchise. Link is one of the lighter heavyweight racers, befitting his much taller size, and he shares his stats withRosalina,Donkey Kong,Waluigi, andRoy. Although this Link is the Hero of the Skies fromThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, his proportions have been altered slightly to fit theSuper Mario franchise aesthetic: he has a slightly larger head and eyes, and is left-handed as opposed to right-handed like inThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

TheMaster Cycle, abike based on Link'sMaster Sword and his horseEpona, appears as one of four additional vehicle bodies, along with aThe Legend of Zelda-themed set oftires, theTriforce Tires, and aThe Legend of Zelda-themedglider, theHylian Kite. AThe Legend of Zelda-themed course calledHyrule Circuit also appears as part of theTriforce Cup. His kart symbol is theRoyal Crest. During his tricks, he wields the Master Sword and shows off the Triforce.

Link returns as part of the base roster inMario Kart 8 Deluxe. He is available from the start, and is still among the lightest heavyweight characters, sharing his statistics with Rosalina,King Boo, andPauline. The game's July 2018 update also added the Hero of the Wild fromThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, alongside theMaster Cycle Zero,Ancient Tires, andParaglider parts. Upon being added, the Hero of the Wild became the default Link, while the Hero of the Skies was relegated to being an alternate character. Like the Hero of the Skies, the Hero of the Wild is left-handed despite being right-handed in his respective game; however, they also share the same voice actor.

Despite sharing some of the same part colors for items that change, the two Links have some noticeable differences. In regard to the Hero of the Wild, his kart symbol is theCrest of the Sheikah as it appears on theSheikah Slate instead of theRoyal Crest, and he uses aGuardian Sword++ instead of the Master Sword when performing tricks. The two variants have different horn sounds, which plays when pressingL Button without any items; Link's horn is based on a sound fromHyrule Warriors and Champion's Tunic Link's horn is based on the Sheikah Slate. Before the 2.3.0 update,[26] due to being two distinct incarnations of Link, the Hero of the Skies could also appear in a race if Hero of the Wild had already been selected and vice versa, while both could appear in a race if neither had been selected as well. Additionally, as CPUs, the vehicle combinations they use are almost completely different, with the only exception being theStandard Kart,Standard tires, andSuper Glider combination that is shared with most CPUs.

Link is referenced inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, where a road in Queens named "Link Street" is shown in theSuper Mario Bros. Plumbing commercial.

Even in his youth, Link was already becoming the warrior who would carry the destiny of Hyrule (and many other lands) on his shoulders.

How to unlock: ClearAdventure Mode as Link
Burdened with a shield, a heavy sword, and plenty of equipment, Link is not a very mobile character. Nevertheless, he's skilled with the blade, and his varied supply of missile weapons makes him a powerful fighter. To master Link, you must control the pace by balancing your long-range attacks with head-to-head swordplay.

How to unlock: ClearAll-Star Mode as Link
Link's Bow, Boomerang, and Bombs all take time to wield, so you may want to try drawing them in mid-air to prevent your foes from attacking you while you're vulnerable. The Spin Attack can score consecutive mid-air hits, and the final slash is very powerful. Link's Bombs are his trump card, but he can't pull one out if he's carrying another item.

    • Snake:Otacon, who's the guy with the sword?
    • Otacon: That's Link. He's the hero of Hyrule. That blade in his hand is called the Master Sword, also known as the "Blade of Evil's Bane." He also has a whole arsenal of items at his disposal--bombs and arrows, a shield, a boomerang, and a Clawshot. He's a force to be reckoned with.
    • Snake: Gear is only useful when it's used at the right time and place. Just lugging a ton of it around doesn't do you any good.

If Link was on a desert island and could only pick one item, it'd be his powerful sword. This weapon is key to his down-air attack, a move with great launching potential and the ability to strike twice. He can also strike twice his his side smash—the second blow deals more damage and launches harder.(American English)
Of all of his weapons, Link's sword may be the most lethal. His down air attack has incredible launching power. What's more, he'll bounce up afterwards, allowing for a follow-up strike. His side smash can also be followed up with a more powerful second blow that sends foes flying - just press the button again straight away.(British English)

Link was once a carefree lad living with the Kokiri in Kokiri Forest, but one day, the Great Deku Tree entrusted him with an important task and he had to leave.

Link makes use of the Triforce of Courage to trap foes, and then he launches a 16-blow combo. The final, mighty blow has the power to launch opponents off the stage. When Link prepares the attack, the ray of light he emits must strike a rival, or the attack will fail. Shielding will do nothing to stop this powerful attack.(American English)
Link traps a foe in mid-air with the power of the Triforce of Courage, then delivers a 16-strike sword combo. The final strike has formidable launching power. If the ray of light at the start of the attack doesn't hit, the whole thing ends there. Helpfully, though, the ray of light's range and speed are incredible, and shields won't block it.(British English)
  • Palutena's Guidance:
    • Pit: Of all the fighters, Link is the one I most want to take down!
    • Palutena: Oh? Why's that?
    • Pit: We were born around the same time, and we both use a bow. He's totally ripping off my style.
    • Viridi: Puh-lease! Comparing Link to you is like comparing a star to a campfire.
    • Pit: What?!
    • Viridi: Just look at those chiseled features! His cheekbones could seriously cut glass.
    • Pit: Uh, earth to Viridi!
    • Viridi: Oh, I'm only kidding. The goddess of nature would never be interested in some hairless monkey!
    • Palutena: Oh, humans aren't all that bad. I could introduce you to him, if you'd like.
    • Viridi: Hmph. If you insist.
    • Palutena: Back to the fight at hand. Pit, you can reflect Link's projectile attacks using your Guardian Orbitars.
    • Viridi: Just watch out for his dreamy Clawshot!
  • amiibo:Link is the main character in The Legend of Zelda games. A young boy living in Hyrule, Link is often given the task of rescuing Princess Zelda and Hyrule from the Gerudo thief Ganondorf. Humble to the end, Link is known not merely as a hero but as a symbol of courage, strength and wisdom as well.

    • Snake: ...
  • Palutena's Guidance:
    • Pit: I can't put my finger on it, but Link seems...different somehow.
    • Palutena: Well, this Link is technically a different person from the Link you fought before. This incarnation is known as the Hero of the Wild. He was once Hyrule's Champion, but he fell into a 100-year slumber after using all his strength to fight the Calamity.
    • Pit: 100 years might not be a long time to a goddess like you, Lady Palutena, but that's more than enough time for an entire world to change.
    • Palutena: You're right, Pit. When Link woke from the slumber of restoration, not only was his world unrecognizable, he also lost his memory.
    • Pit: I can't even imagine what that would be like. Lady Palutena, isn't there something the gods can do to help him restore his memory?
    • Palutena: Meddling in the affairs of another world is never a good idea. Although I do like Link, and his swordsmanship is quite impressive. The Master Sword, also known as the sword that seals the darkness, reveals its true strength in the presence of the Calamity.
    • Pit: Cool! Does that mean it's OP against Ganondorf?
    • Palutena: No, Ganondorf is from a different game. You should really do more research before you jump into a fight. If you expect to win, you need to know your opponent's backstory and abilities. Link has a lot of different weapons at his disposal.
  • Super Smash Blog bio: "Link has been redesigned to match his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He can now pick up arrows he's fired, and his bombs have been upgraded to remote bombs, so you can set them off when the timing is just right!"

Using his arrows, Link can shoot far off switches that Mario would normally not be able to hit. His new down thrust move with the sword will defeat usually protected enemies like spike-covered Spinies. And with bombs, some walls that would normally be impassable by Mario and friends can easily be blown up."[29]
