Although Toon Link shows the determination and courageousness that his fellow incarnations are renowned for, his personality is also one of the most diverse of any incarnation: he is consistently shown to be carefree, easily excitable, and jovial to the point of smiling often, as well as appearing awestruck or wary upon arriving at new locations or encountering new foes. Toon Link has also shown a level of astuteness atypical for someone his age, as he will freely observe certain objects of interest in his immediate surroundings, such as an enemy's discarded weapon. | Although Toon Link shows the determination and courageousness that his fellow incarnations are renowned for, his personality is also one of the most diverse of any incarnation: he is consistently shown to be carefree, easily excitable, and jovial to the point of smiling often, as well as appearing awestruck or wary upon arriving at new locations or encountering new foes.

With Aryll safely on board {{s|zeldawiki|Tetra's Ship}} alongside [[zeldawiki:Tetra's Pirate Crew|the pirate crew]], Link discovers that his quest is not yet complete, as Ganondorf still poses a threat to the world now that the seal holding his power has been fully broken.

Now properly equipped, Link, with additional assistance from Zelda, manages to seal Ganondorf by plunging the Master Sword into his head just before Hyrule is fully submerged within the Great Sea, as per Daphnes' Triforce-granted wish of Link and Zelda having a future. With the world saved and Aryll safely returned to [[zeldawiki:Link's grandma|their grandmother]] on Outset Island, Link decides to accompany Tetra and her crew to set sail for for new lands, with Aryll, their grandmother and the rest of Outset Island's population tearfully saying goodbye while Link reciprocates the heartfelt feeling. | Now properly equipped, Link, with additional assistance from Zelda, manages to seal Ganondorf by plunging the Master Sword into his head just before Hyrule is fully submerged within the Great Sea, as per Daphnes' Triforce-granted wish of Link and Zelda having a future.

Link finds the {{iw|zeldawiki|Phantom Hourglass|Item}}, an item that protects him from the life-draining magic emitting from the {{s|zeldawiki|Temple of the Ocean King}}, but only as long as it has sand in it. In addition to the Hourglass, he is accompanied by {{s|zeldawiki|Ciela}}, a new fairy companion, and {{s|zeldawiki|Linebeck}}, a cowardly and greedy captain. Together, they journey to various islands that bring Link one step closer to defeating Bellum. | ||
Eventually, Link forges the {{s|zeldawiki|Phantom Sword}} and defeats Bellum, saving Tetra. {{s|zeldawiki|Oshus}}, the Ocean King, is restored to his original form, and he transports Link and Tetra back to their own realm. Tetra's crew claims everything to be a dream, as they state that only ten minutes passed when they supposedly fell asleep.

As a semi-[[clone]] of {{SSBM|Young Link}}, Toon Link's moveset is almost identical to his and, by extension, {{SSBB|Link}}'s, although there are some differences.

However, there are mechanical differences as well, as the explosion has greater range, but less power compared to Young Link and Link's. Toon Link's neutral special, [[Hero's Bow]], charges faster than Young Link's and shoots arrows farther compared to his and Link's. However, it charges slower than Link's, and his arrows fly slower than Link's. Toon Link's [[Spin Attack]] functions like Young Link's, as it traps opponents by hitting them multiple times before launching them away. However, it grants more distance when used as a recovery move, especially in comparison to Link's. Like Young Link, Toon Link possesses the [[Boomerang]] as his side special and as such, it provides noticeable differences compared to Link's [[Gale Boomerang]]: it does not push/pull opponents and grants more control when throwing it. | However, there are mechanical differences as well, as the explosion has greater range, but less power compared to Young Link and Link's.

In regard to mobility, Toon Link's only differences from Young Link are his higher [[double jump]] and lower [[traction]]. However, Toon Link's mobility differs considerably from Link's: he [[walk]]s and [[dash]]es faster than Link, his [[jump]] is higher and both it and his [[falling speed]] are [[Falling speed#Floaty|floatier]] than Link's, and he can [[wall jump]] like Young Link. Toon Link's overall power is also similar to Young Link's, yet noticeably lower than Link's. Much like his special moves, a number of Toon Link's standard moves differ from theirs. The most noticeable examples include his up smash, neutral, forward, back and down aerials, and forward and back throws. | In regard to mobility, Toon Link's only differences from Young Link are his higher [[double jump]] and lower [[traction]].
