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 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. | 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.
