Toon Link

Toon Link is a trophy from the Super Smash Bros. World created for the purpose of fighting opponent trophies for sport. His appearance, attacks, and personality are a mirror of the incarnation of Link who saved the Great Sea from Ganondorf after the flooding of Hyrule. Toon Link's name refers to the "cel-shading" animation technique used in both of the video games that he starred in: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Toon Link was a secret playable character. His statistics and move set are based off of Young Link from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Link and Toon Link are very similar characters in the game, having almost the same move set in and the same Final Smash. In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, in one mini-game, Toon Link is using his Deku Leaf to land on an island. This game uses the form "mohawk".

Solid Snake Codec conversation

 * Snake: Mei Ling, who is this kid with the cat eyes...?
 * Mei Ling: Oh, they call him Toon Link. Doesn't he look familiar?
 * Snake: Yeah, he looks just like Link.
 * Mei Ling: But you know there've been several people who've gone by that name, right? They all have certain things in common--green clothes, a sword, a shield... But they all came from different lands and lived in different eras. And yet the spirit of the hero of the Triforce is timeless. It's an essence that transcends history.
 * Snake: I think I can relate to that.
 * Mei Ling: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Snake: There's been more than one "Snake," too, you know...

Role in the Subspace Emissary
After beating The Subspace Emissary, in the forest stage, if the player enters the first red door in the beginning of the level, he or she will be taken to the Pirate Ship. There, Toon Link will be looking out to the sea. However, once he sees the player, he's surprised. Thinking the player is an enemy, he attacks the player. The player then fights Toon Link, and if the player beats Toon Link and turns him into a trophy.

Toon Link
''Link as he appeared in The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, with big eyes and an expressive face. He lived peacefully on Outset Island until a bird captured his little sister, and he came to her rescue. In The Wind Waker, he had to crawl, press up to walls, and the like. His green clothes were worn on his 12th birthday and are the lucky outfit of the hero of legend.''

Toon Link (Final Smash)
''Toon Link's Final Smash. Hit an enemy with the light emanating from the Triforce mark on his hand to initiate the move. The enemy will be trapped within the Triforce and be unable to move--Toon Link will then rush in close and carve up his foe at lightning speed. The final blow will break the Triforce prison and send the opponent off the screen.''

Outset Link
''Link in his traditional clothing. He wears a blue, V-neck, long-sleeved top with a shrimp pattern, coordinated with slender orange pants. It makes you think that, even on his home, Outset Island, Link was quite the fashion leader, and suggests that he may have changed into his green hero's clothing somewhat grudgingly.''
