'''Young Link''' ({{ja|こどもリンク|Kodomo Rinku}}, '' | '''Young Link''' ({{ja|こどもリンク|Kodomo Rinku}}, ''Child Link'') is one of [[Link]]'s multiple incarnations in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Although several prepubescent [[Link]]s have appeared throughout ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, the first one to appear as a playable character in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] is the {{s|zeldawiki|Hero of Time}}, the main protagonist of ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}'' and ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}''. | ||

The first appearance of a prepubescent Link is in | The first appearance of a prepubescent Link is in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda|the series' first installment]]. This is confirmed by {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', which refers to the Link featured in this game as his debut. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' also uses Young Link as a placeholder for the original Link: {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}'s {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} route uses {{SSBU|Young Link}} to represent ''The Legend of Zelda'' series' debut in 1986, and the [[Spirits (characters)|Spirit Battle]] for [[List of spirits (The Legend of Zelda series)|Link (The Legend of Zelda)]] uses Young Link as a [[False character|puppet fighter]]. | ||
However, the playable Young Link in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is based specifically | However, the playable Young Link in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is based specifically upon the incarnation who made his debut in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}'', in which the "{{s|zeldawiki|Hero of Time}}" begins his quest as a young boy. Initially growing up in {{s|zeldawiki|Kokiri Forest}} under the assumption of being a {{s|zeldawiki|Kokiri}}, Link was eventually summoned by the {{s|zeldawiki|Great Deku Tree}} to receive his very own {{s|zeldawiki|fairy}}, {{s|zeldawiki|Navi}}. During this, the Tree also reveals that Link is destined to save {{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule}} by preventing a [[Ganondorf|desert man clad in black armor]] from acquiring the {{s|zeldawiki|Triforce}}, an almighty relic that can grant any wish. | ||
Despite Link killing several monsters from pillaging the Great Deku Tree, the Tree nevertheless dies from the curse placed upon him by the man in black armor before telling Link to venture to {{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Castle}}. However, the Tree's newborn sprout reveals that Link is in fact a {{s|zeldawiki|Hylian}} that was left in the Tree's care by [[zeldawiki:Link's Mother|his dying mother]] in order to survive the {{s|zeldawiki|Hyrulean Civil War}} that was going on at the time. | |||

Due to fitting this description, Link allies with Zelda and proceeds to collect the {{s|zeldawiki|Spiritual Stones}} in order to assist her in preventing Ganondorf from accessing the {{s|zeldawiki|Sacred Realm}} and acquiring the Triforce that lies within it. | ||
Although Link is successful in acquiring all three stones, he is too late to reunite with Zelda, who escapes on horseback alongside [[Impa]], her attendant. However, Zelda nevertheless manages to throw the {{s|zeldawiki|Ocarina of Time}} into Hyrule Castle's moat, allowing Link to claim it and proceed with their plan of stopping Ganondorf. She then telepathically directs him to play the {{s|zeldawiki|Song of Time}} in front of the {{s|zeldawiki|Temple of Time}}'s altar, which would open the {{s|zeldawiki|Door of Time}} and allow Link to access the {{s|zeldawiki|Master Sword}} that lies beyond it and use the sword to stop Ganondorf. | Although Link is successful in acquiring all three stones, he is too late to reunite with Zelda, who escapes on horseback alongside [[Impa]], her attendant.

Upon drawing the Master Sword from the {{s|zeldawiki|Pedestal of Time}}, Link is accepted by the sword as its master. However, it nevertheless seals him away within the Sacred Realm, owing to him being too young to truly challenge Ganondorf. To further compound this, Ganondorf anticipated his and Zelda's plot and managed to acquire the Triforce for himself upon Link's sealing within the Sacred Realm. | Upon drawing the Master Sword from the {{s|zeldawiki|Pedestal of Time}}, Link is accepted by the sword as its master.

Seven years later, a 16-year-old Link is awakened within the {{s|zeldawiki|Chamber of Sages}} by {{s|zeldawiki|Rauru}}, one of the six {{s|zeldawiki|Sage}}s. Upon explaining what happened to Link and the Triforce after he drew the Master Sword, Rauru declares him to be the "{{s|zeldawiki|Hero of Time}}".

By using the Master Sword and Pedestal of Time's collective power to travel back and forth between his childhood and adult ages, Link proceeds to awaken the Sages, gain their support, and acquire the Triforce of Courage to finally defeat Ganondorf and save Hyrule. | ||
Immediately after stopping Ganondorf, Zelda sends Link back in time in order for him to relive his essentially lost childhood. A few months later, Link leaves Hyrule to search for Navi, who inexplicably left him after he placed the Master Sword back into the Pedestal of Time soon after stopping Ganondorf. During his search, he is ambushed by a {{s|zeldawiki|Skull Kid}} wearing a mysterious mask. Upon giving chase after having {{s|zeldawiki|Epona}}, his faithful steed, stolen by the Skull Kid, Link winds up in the mysterious parallel world known as {{s|zeldawiki|Termina}}. | Immediately after stopping Ganondorf, Zelda sends Link back in time in order for him to relive his essentially lost childhood.

The Salesman reveals the Skull Kid's mask to be [[zeldawiki:Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora's Mask]], an ancient artifact that possesses a tremendous amount of magical power. Link and Tatl soon encounter Skull Kid and {{s|zeldawiki|Tael}}, Tatl's brother and the Skull Kid's other fairy friend. Tael reveals a clue on how to stop the Skull Kid, which leads Link on a quest to stop him from using the vast power of Majora's Mask to launch the [[zeldawiki:Moon (Object)|Moon]] into Termina. | ||
As Link's quest progresses, the clue turns out to be a reference to the {{s|zeldawiki|Four Giants}}, Termina's guardian deities. Due to lashing out against Termina and its people long ago because of the Giants' decision to protect the land while laying dormant, the Skull Kid was expelled from Termina by the Giants. Ultimately, Link frees the Four Giants from being confined by the magic used by Skull Kid. With the Giants' help in halting the Moon's descent, Link then proceeds to destroy Majora's Mask after it abandons Skull Kid, who had used him as a puppet the entire time. Upon saving Termina, Link bids the Skull Kid, Tatl and Tael farewell before returning to Hyrule to resume his search for Navi. | As Link's quest progresses, the clue turns out to be a reference to the {{s|zeldawiki|Four Giants}}, Termina's guardian deities.

When coupled with his failure to teach his [[zeldawiki:Hidden Skills|skills]] to any successors during his lifetime, Link's regret became so significant that it prevented him from passing on to the afterlife upon his death.

A number of centuries later, Link, under the guise of an ethereal, golden wolf, would encounter his bloodline descendant, the Link of ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}''.

''Link's younger incarnation is often considered to be the true Link: he was a young boy in the very first Legend of Zelda game, and he has appeared as a youth in most of the subsequent games. Since his debut on the original NES in 1987, Link's appearance has changed over and over again, each time adding to the mystique of his incomparable story.'' | |||

Young Link was one of the five playable characters in ''Melee'' who did not return in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Instead, he has effectively been succeeded by {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, owing to both functioning as a younger, smaller, weaker, and faster version of Link. Toon Link also derives most of the moveset differences Young Link had from his older self, such as forward smash's first hit having set knockback, grounded Spin Attack hitting multiple times, and down aerial being capable of [[meteor smash]]ing. | Young Link was one of the five playable characters in ''Melee'' who did not return in ''Super Smash Bros.

This marks his first appearance of any kind in the series in 10 years, and is his first playable ''Super Smash Bros.'' appearance in 17 years, with the latter distinction being shared with fellow ''Melee'' veteran [[Pichu]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o Super Smash Bros.

Although Young Link's descendant, the "Hero of Twilight", has been succeeded by the "Hero of the Wild" as [[Link (SSBU)|a playable character]] in ''Ultimate'', Young Link, the "Hero of Time" nevertheless functions as a smaller, faster, and weaker [[clone]] of the new Link. Despite the term "Echo Fighter" being used in ''Ultimate'' to denote clones, Young Link is not labeled as such. While no official reason for this has been given, it is possible that Young Link's moveset deriving a number of mechanical and aesthetic aspects from [[Link (SSB4)|his descendant's moveset in ''SSB4'']], as well as the aforementioned attribute differences, are the primary factors for this. Furthermore both Young Link and Toon Link are in fact actually still a form of Link meaning they cannot be a clone. | |||
