In the game's Adventure Mode, Link is fought in the [[Underground 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. [[Young Link]], Link's childhood self from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', is also a separate playable character, much in the same manner that [[Mario]] and [[Baby Mario]] often appear in the same games. | In the game's Adventure Mode, Link is fought in the [[Underground Maze]] stage.

The '''[[zeldawiki:Boomerang|Boomerang]]''' is a recurring item throughout [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)| | The '''[[zeldawiki:Boomerang|Boomerang]]''' is a recurring item throughout ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series that appears as Link's standard special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', and as his side special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Originally designed after the Boomerang in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the move is also used by [[Young Link]], who uses the same Boomerang. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Link's Boomerang is the same one from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild''. When the move is used, the player throws a Boomerang at opponents that can damage them, automatically returning to the player once it hits an opponent or wall. The player can hold the control stick to make it fly farther, and 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. In later games, the move is used by [[Toon Link]], whose design of the Boomerang is based on that in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''. | ||

The '''[[zeldawiki:Spin Attack|Spin Attack]]''' is Link's up special move in every installment of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)| | The '''[[zeldawiki:Spin Attack|Spin Attack]]''' is Link's up special move in every installment of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. The move is based on the Spin Attack move recurring throughout ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. When used, Link spins around rapidly with his sword to deal damage. When used in the air, the move also gives Link some vertical and horizontal distance. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' onward, the move can be charged by holding down the special attack button when used on the ground to deal more damage. | ||
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Link's first custom variant for this move is '''Shocking Spin''', which gives the attack more power and an electric effect, but it covers less distance than Spin Attack, and its ending lag is longer as well. Link's second variant is '''Whirling Leap''', which greatly improves Link's recovery by giving him more vertical height, and his horizontal mobility is increased drastically during the move's duration as well. However, the move does not deal any damage, nor can it be charged, so its only use is for recovery. When used on the ground, Link leaps up to perform the move. | In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Link's first custom variant for this move is '''Shocking Spin''', which gives the attack more power and an electric effect, but it covers less distance than Spin Attack, and its ending lag is longer as well.
