Editing Toon Link (SSB4)

|image = [[File:Toon Link SSB4.png|250px]]

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.

*{{change|Due to the aesthetic used in ''SSB4'', Toon Link has a sleeker design and his overall color scheme is more vibrant. These changes make him appear much more in line with his appearances in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'' and ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD}}''.}}

**{{buff|Uncharged Spin Attack's last hit has altered knockback (25 (base), 160 (scaling) → 70/141), improving its KO potential.}}

|neutralname=Slash ({{ja|なぎ払い|Nagiharai}}) / Counter Slash ({{ja|返し|Kaeshi}}) / Stab ({{ja|突き|Tsuki}})

|ftiltname=Bamboo Splitter ({{ja|からたけわり|Karatake Wari}})

|ftiltdesc=A lunging downward slash. It has very high knockback growth, as well as a sweetspot located at the center of the {{s|zeldawiki|Master Sword}}'s blade that is a [[semi-spike]]. Although its sourspot has the same damage output and knockback values, it is much less suited for KOing because of it launching at the [[Sakurai angle]]. This is further compounded by its sweetspot's position requiring very precise use in order to be effective. Its lower damage output and extremely low base knockback result in it KOing much later than {{SSB4|Link}}'s, yet its much lower start-up and ending lag make it more effective for spacing than his, regardless of whether it is sweetspotted or sourspotted. Its sweetspot KOs middleweights at 142%/129% (''3DS''/''Wii U'') while near the edge of {{SSB4|Final Destination}}. It resembles the "vertical slice" from ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''.

|utiltname=Half-Moon Slash ({{ja|半月斬り|Hangetsu Kiri}})

|dtiltname=Grass Cutter ({{ja|草薙ぎ|Kusa Nagi}})

|dashname=Running Hack ({{ja|追い斬り|Oi Kiri}})

|usmashname=Sky Slash ({{ja|天空斬り|Tenkū Kiri}})

|usmashdesc=An overhead arcing slash. It has the lowest amount of ending lag out of his smash attacks. Although each of its hitboxes share the same knockback values, its late hitbox's lower damage output results in its KO potential being noticeably lower due to dealing less damage than its early and clean hitboxes. Its early and clean hitboxes KO middleweights at 123%/114% (''3DS''/''Wii U'') from anywhere on Final Destination. In comparison, its late hitbox KOs them at 159%/149% (''3DS''/''Wii U'') from anywhere on Final Destination.

|dsmashname=Front and Back Sword Slice ({{ja|前後足元斬り|Zengo Ashimoto Giri}})

|nairname=Two Part Slash ({{ja|二段斬り|Nidan Kiri}})

|nairdesc=An inward slash in front of himself, followed by an outward slash behind himself. Due to it hitting on frame 6, it has the lowest amount of start-up out of his aerials. When coupled with its ability to be [[auto-cancel]]ed with a short hop and its minimal landing lag, it is a viable approach option when [[SHFF]]'d. However, its 27 frames of ending lag make it punishable when it is not auto-canceled. It is possible, albeit rare, to land both hits at lower percents, particularly against bigger opponents.

|fairname=Slash Up ({{ja|斬り上げ|Kiri Age}})

|bairname=Backward Slash Up ({{ja|後方斬り上げ|Kōhō Kiri Age}})

|uairname=Jump Thrust ({{ja|上突き|Ue Tsuki}}, ''Up Thrust'')

|dairdesc=The {{s|zeldawiki|Down Thrust}}. Unlike Link's Down Thrust, Toon Link's version is a [[stall-then-fall]], which makes it very risky to use off-stage. 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. When coupled with its 75 frames of ending lag and 40 frames of landing lag, it is his most punishable attack. Resembles his final strike to Ganondorf's head in ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''.

|zairname=Midair [[Hookshot]] ({{ja|空中フックショット|Kūchū Fukkushotto}})

|pummelname=Grab Hilt Strike ({{ja|つかみ柄なぐり|Tsukami Gara Naguri}})

|fthrowname=Tackle ({{ja|タックル|Takkuru}})

|bthrowname=Circle Throw ({{ja|巴投げ|Tomoe Nage}})

|uthrowname=Throw Away Slash ({{ja|投げ捨て斬り|Nagasute Kiri}})

|dthrowname=Elbow Strike ({{ja|ヒジ打ち|Hiji Uchi}})

|nsc1desc=Fires a {{s|zeldawiki|Fire Arrow}}. The Fire Arrow charges, flies and falls much faster than Hero's Bow's arrow, with its aerial version covering more distance than its grounded version. Once it hits the ground, it creates a smokey blaze that lingers at the point where it landed. If an opponent is near the arrow when it hits the ground, it will inflict a small amount of knockback. The blaze can be used to hinder approaches, or even function as a set-up. However, the Fire Arrow itself deals minimal damage, covers much less distance, and is essentially unusable for spacing because of its virtually nonexistent knockback. It is comparable to {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s {{H2|Hero's Bow|Fire Bow}}.

|usc1desc=Charges forward while performing the Spin Attack. The grounded version hits once, comparatively like Link's Spin Attack. When coupled with its decent knockback, its fully charged clean hit KOs middleweights at 91% while near the edge of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version. It also moves Toon Link forward, which can allow him to use it for punishing when it is spaced properly. However, it has noticeably more start-up, even when minimally charged, and takes slightly longer to charge. The aerial version covers much more horizontal distance, but minimal vertical distance, which make it function similarly to [[Spinning Kong]]. If Toon Link is still suffering knockback when he uses the move, its distance is reduced, potentially to the point of travelling almost no distance at all. It is based on the [[zeldawiki:Spin Attack#Great Spin Attack|Hurricane Spin]].

|fsdesc=Uses the [[zeldawiki:Triforce|Triforce of Courage]] to emit a thin beam of light from his left hand to stun an opponent in front of himself. If the beam comes in contact with an opponent, Toon Link dashes forward and performs a barrage of slashes while they are trapped in a Triforce-shaped energy field before concluding with an outward slash that shatters the energy field and launches them. Although its damage output has lowered since ''Brawl'', it is still among the most powerful [[Final Smash]]es in the game, as it will KO middleweights at 18% while near the edge of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version. It can hit multiple opponents, but all non-trapped opponents are launched out the energy field after the penultimate hit. Unlike Link's Triforce Slash, Toon Link's Triforce Slash has much shorter range.}}

|desc-1=Looks around himself.

|desc-2=Taps the edge of his boot on the ground.
