Throughout the history of Smash 64, Link has always been regarded as one of the worst characters in the game. On the first tier list for 64, he was dead last in bottom tier, sharing it with Samus. He rose up to 11th on the second tier list then he would remain, but share the same placement of 10th-11th with Luigi on the third list. He would regain the placement of 11th tier on the fourth and most current tier list where he remains the second worst character in the game.
{{cleanup|These blurbs are overly basic and need to be rewritten to better explain how these are players are historically significant to Link's metagame.}}


However, in spite of his placement, Link has achieved high results in a few tournaments due to the performance of players such as Isai, Gyaki and Sekirei. Even with these impressive placements, it is unknown if Link will ever get out of the bottom two spots that he has consistently remained in throughout the game's lifespan.
