Name: Young Link

Game: The Legend of Zelda

Platform: Nintendo Entertainment System

Year: 1986

Appearance:
Y. Link should have a Cel Shaded appearance. Why?
Because that is how he looked in his last 5 games. It is his newest design, whereas Adult Link's newest design is from Twilight Princess

Wind Waker


Minish Cap


Four Swords/Four Sword Adventures


Phantom Hourglass


They look pretty similar, huh?

Link swings his sword. If he hits someone, then the 3 clones of Link will appear and start comboing the person. The clones will disappear afterwards

B^: Ballad of Gales
Does his spin attack, and a whirlwind will surround him making him rise upwards

B>: Magical Boomerang
Throws a glowing boomerang that damages people. If it hits somebody, there is a chance that the Boomerang will return to Link carrying either a Food, a Maxim Tomato or a Heart Piece.

Food: 75% chance
Maxim Tomato: 10% chance
Heart Piece: 5% chance

BV: Bomb
Places a large bomb on front of Y. Link. Can be picked up and thrown.

If a character runs into it, he will be exploded



[glow=yellow,2,300]Super Smash: Oni-Link[/glow]
Can’t think of anything right now. In the meantime, he puts on the mask and turns into the super Uber Oni-Link with powerful stats. This is on effect for 30 seconds.

I'm not so sure on this one. Tell me what you think

It's funny how the most famous Nintendo characters are the most difficult ones to analyze for a possible SSB game. And it's because Link's looks are so versatile. Even more contrasting than Mario's alter egos, who share the same big-nosed, moustached face of Mario in them (except when he's a baby, of course).

I believe Hero of Winds Link can appear in SSBB if they decide to include a TWW set of characters as well as a set of TP characters (please, if anyone here has already finished TP and thinks I'm wrong, feel free to correct me).

However, I don't think (now) that the fact that all of those Links look similar (TWW's and PH's are the same, as you may know) means you should necessarily fuse all of them in one "young" Link especially if you do believe two Links from different games (which is not the case of Link and Young Link from SSBM) can coexist in SSBB. What helps you here is the fact that SSB and SSBM state Link's original game as The Legend of Zelda from NES (probably meaning the version of Link matters little), and SSBM and Soul Calibur II use resources from more than only the N64 games.

What would I do if I was Nintendo? Just state their origins as TP and TWW respectively and break their SSB tradition. I'm not sure of what would I do about the names, though. Why "Young Link", if age doesn't matter out of the OoT storyline? Again, there's something that helps you here, and it's the fact that the character we know as "Young Link", is called Child Link in the games, making "Young Link" sort of an universal name.

About the graphics, yes, Cel-shaded style is a good idea for a recent "young" Link. Just keep in mind (unlike some people I've met in other message boards do), that Cel Shading does not mean "2D"; it means something like "a particular uniform shading in some parts of the graphics so that they look cartoonish".

About the moves, I don't like your Magical Boomerang much. Magical Boomerang's differences from a regular Boomerang are traditionally its extended length and/or the ability of Link to control its direction once it's thrown. Item gathering can also be done by a regular Boomerang, and would even be a nice easter egg for a regular Boomerang in an SSB game.

I don't like this.

I like the concept!! This moveset is better than the cloned moveset he had in SSBM. I suggest you change the B move: IMO, the Four Sword would be better as an item. But by and karge, this is a good submission!!

[Shrikeswind]

The only new move here is the B attack, 4-sword, ergo, change it.
