 As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{s|wikipedia|Sachi Matsumoto}} reprises her role as Toon Link's voice actor, albeit via recycled voice clips from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}''.
-Toon Link is ranked 23rd out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the C tier. This is a slight drop from his placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 13th out of 38th. Toon Link has multiple projectiles, which grant him a powerful zoning game and enable him to follow up into different moves; {{B|Bomb|Link}}, in particular, is his most notable set-up for combos and KOs. Toon Link's [[Hookshot]] has also been improved: his grabs now have much less ending lag and longer durations; his back throw is now among the strongest throws in the game; and his tether recovery has much more range.
+Toon Link is ranked 23rd out of 54 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the C tier. This is a slight drop from his mid-tier placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 13th out of 38th. Due to the ''SSB4'' tier list structure however, Toon Link is actually rendered as a high-tier character.
+Toon Link has multiple projectiles, which grant him a powerful zoning game and enable him to follow up into different moves; {{B|Bomb|Link}}, in particular, is his most notable set-up for combos and KOs. Toon Link's [[Hookshot]] has also been improved: his grabs now have much less ending lag and longer durations; his back throw is now among the strongest throws in the game; and his tether recovery has much more range.
 Although Toon Link's ground game is potent, the overwhelming majority of his overall damage output has decreased. This is most obvious with his smash attacks, as their KO potentials have worsened in spite of their compensated knockback. Toon Link's air game also has unimpressive combo potential in spite of his [[Falling speed#Floaty|floatiness]], since his aerial attacks' high ending lag prevents them from partaking in long combos. Lastly, [[reflection]]-based moves are very detrimental for Toon Link; in addition to turning his projectiles against him, they also significantly hinder his Bomb-based combo game.
@@ Line 28: / Line 30: @@
 Bomb's combo potential is further supplemented by [[jump-canceling]] and its status as an [[item]], with the latter trait ensuring that its combo potential is never susceptible to [[rage]] or [[stale-move negation]]. Although it is not as versatile in comparison, Boomerang is nevertheless useful for Toon Link's combo game, as it can combo into his up tilt, grab and various other moves depending on its positioning.
-Although Toon Link's combo game largely revolves around Bomb, he also possesses non-projectile combo starters. Up tilt is the most effective of these: it can combo into itself, up smash, and Spin Attack at low percentages; a short hopped neutral aerial, short hopped back aerial, and short hopped Spin Attack at low to medium percentages; and forward aerial and up aerial at medium to high percentages. Aside from up tilt, grab aerial can be used as a long-ranged set-up similarly to Bomb, regardless of the opponent's damage, while neutral attack can be [[jab cancel]]ed reliably.

-Unlike in ''Brawl'', Toon Link's [[Hookshot]] now possesses a respectable level of utility. Thanks to its longer range, the Hookshot has become an even more effective [[tether recovery]] and has lost its dubious distinction as the shortest ranged [[Grab#Tether grab|tether grab]]. By extension, Toon Link's grab game has also benefited in a few ways. Each of his grabs have longer durations, significantly lower ending lag, and are now capable of grabbing airborne opponents. Toon Link's throws can supplement his projectiles, as he can use them to launch an opponent into the trajectory of a previously thrown Boomerang or Bomb, such as up throw into a descending Bomb. Aside from this, his up throw can also combo into a short hopped up aerial at low percentages.

-Toon Link's back throw, however, is unarguably the most notable improvement to his Hookshot-oriented moves. The removal of its initial hitbox in favor of a single, slightly more damaging throw hitbox has resulted in it now having a consistent, albeit unchanged damage output. When this is coupled with the increase to its knockback values, Toon Link's back throw has not only become one of his most viable KOing options, but also one the strongest throws of any kind in the game.

When this is coupled with the increase to its knockback values, Toon Link's back throw has not only become one of his most viable KOing options, but also one the strongest throws of all kinds in the game.
 However, Toon Link has some weaknesses. Although his overall damage output is still above-average, it has nevertheless decreased since ''Brawl''. His smash attacks have been the most adversely affected; although they had their knockback values increased, such improvements were not sufficient enough to fully compensate for their worsened KO potentials. Despite its potency, Toon Link's combo game is heavily reliant on Bomb, up tilt and grab aerial, as the rest of his close-ranged attacks cannot reliably combo most of the time. His throws' aforementioned combo potentials with Boomerang and Bomb are also very situational, since he needs to have precise timing and positioning in order for said combos to be performed properly. To compound this, Toon Link's grabs still have considerable start-up and ending lag, although such a flaw is typical of tether grabs.

Unlike in ''Brawl'', it now pierces an opponent, which makes it a useful edge-guarding option when performed on edges because of its clean hitbox being a [[meteor smash]]. Its landing hit also has a [[windbox]] that pushes away nearby opponents. Due to it hitting on frame 17, however, it has the highest amount of start-up lag out of Toon Link's aerials.
