Young Link is the incarnation of Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, this young, child version of Link turns into the adult version of him about midway through the game, after pulling out the Master Sword. In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the player plays as Young Link throughout its entirety. Young Link appeared as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Melee, being a separate character than the adult Link. Young Link is shown to be quite skilled with a short sword, as well as many other weapons. History[edit]Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
In Super Smash Bros Melee, Young Link is an unlockable character, unlocked by beating Classic or Adventure Mode with 10 characters, including Link and Zelda/Sheik, or by playing 500 Melee matches, and he then must be defeated on Great Bay. Young Link's moves are similar to Link's, though while Young Link is faster and lighter, he is also weaker. As Young Link is shorter and wields the smaller Kokiri Sword, his attacks do not have as much range. Young Link's Deku Shield is also not as strong as Link's Hylian Shield, as it does not protect against stronger projectiles. Young Link, however, can Wall Jump, which Link is not able to do. Young Link is voiced Fujiko Takimoto, who provided his voice clips for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Young Link is one of the five playable characters from Super Smash Bros. Melee who is no longer playable in this game (the other four being Dr. Mario, Pichu, Mewtwo, and Roy), possibly being replaced by Toon Link, who functions very similarly to Young Link. However, he does have a collectible Sticker, and is playable in a demo of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting. Remove this only when the changes have been applied.
Young Link, after being absent in the previous two Super Smash Bros. titles, returns as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Special moves[edit]Fire Bow[edit]
The Fire Bow is Young Link's standard special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, based on the Fire Arrow upgrade recurring throughout The Legend of Zelda series. The move deals less damage than Link's Bow, and the arrow does not travel as far, but has a longer hitstun and deals fire damage. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, one of the custom variations for Toon Link's Hero's Bow is the Fire Bow, with a similar effect to Young Link's Fire Bow. Boomerang[edit]
The Boomerang from The Legend of Zelda series is Young Link's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, shared with Link and Toon Link. It is designed specifically after the one used in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When thrown, the Boomerang damages any opponents it hits and automatically returns to Young Link once it hits an opponent or wall. The player can hold the control stick to make it fly farther, and it can also be thrown diagonally. The Boomerang can also fly up or down while it is active by tilting the control stick just before throwing it. Compared to Link's Boomerang, Young Link's Boomerang does not travel as far, and it is not as powerful, but it can be controlled better. Spin Attack[edit]
The Spin Attack is Young Link's up special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Shared with Link and Toon Link, the move is based on the Spin Attack move recurring throughout The Legend of Zelda series. When used, the character spins around rapidly with their sword to deal damage. When used in the air, the move also gives the character some vertical and horizontal distance. Unlike Link's Spin Attack, Young Link's version of the move, as well as Toon Link's version, can draw in opponents to deal multiple hits, although Young Link's has less range. Bomb[edit]
The Bomb is Young Link's down special move in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, shared with Link and Toon Link, and based on the item recurring throughout The Legend of Zelda series. Young Link's Bomb in particular is based on the ones from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When used, Young Link pulls a Bomb out that can then be thrown at other characters to do damage, exploding on impact. Like other explosives, the bombs also deal damage to the holder; it can also be caught and thrown by opponents, or detonate in the player's hands. Unlike Link and Toon Link's Bombs, the explosion from Young Link's Bombs can hit multiple times. The player cannot use the move while holding another item, as Bombs count as an item. WarioWare series[edit]Young Link appears in the microgame Ocarina of Time in WarioWare: Smooth Moves (found in 9-Volt's stage). The object is to have him pull the Master Sword by the Janitor form, and he will transform into a different form depending on the level: Adult Link on level 1, an elderly Link on level 2, or a Cucco on level 3. This microgame reappears in WarioWare Gold. Profiles and statistics[edit]Super Smash Bros. Melee trophies[edit]
