'''Toon Link''' ({{ja|トゥーンリンク|Tūn Rinku}}, ''Toon Link'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was revealed on March 28th, 2008. He is a semi-clone of {{SSBB|Link}}, and thus has some similar moves but different attributes.
'''Toon Link''' ({{ja|トゥーンリンク|Tūn Rinku}}, ''Toon Link'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was revealed on March 28th, 2008. He is a semi-clone of {{SSBB|Link}}, and thus has some similar moves but different attributes.


Toon Link is voiced by Sachi Matsumoto, who reprises her role from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'' and ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass}}''.
Sachi Matsumoto provides the voice of Toon Link in all regions of ''Brawl.'' Continuing a trend for Link's appearance starting in ''Super Smash Bros.'', Toon Link's voice clips are re-purposed directly from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'' and ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass}}'', featuring a combination of returning voice clips and ones that were leftover from the recording sessions for ''The Wind Waker.''


Toon Link is ranked 13th on the [[tier list]] at the top of the mid-high tier (making him the highest ranked character of all ''The Legend of Zelda'' characters). Toon Link's biggest asset is his variety of versatile [[projectile]]s, which when combined with his great [[jump]]ing ability and air mobility, gives him one of the strongest [[camp]]ing abilities and makes him one of the most difficult characters to [[approach]]. Toon Link additionally has a strong aerial game, with the aforementioned efficient jumping and aerial mobility, and access to fast, powerful [[aerial attack]]s, in addition to a damaging [[zair]], which is useful for keeping opponents at a distance and setting up subsequent attacks. Toon Link also has two great [[combo]] starters in his [[up tilt]] and [[back aerial]] that can combo into themselves, a far reaching and relatively safe [[recovery]], and strong approaching capabilities from his fast movement speed and projectiles. Toon Link however suffers from underwhelming [[KO]]ing ability, possessing finishers that aren't very powerful with short reach, or in the case of his [[up smash]], being too predictable while lacking strong enough traits to make up for it. Toon Link additionally possesses short [[reach]] throughout his moveset, and a very punishable [[grab]] that lacks the reach to make up for its high [[ending lag]] (in addition to possessing rather poor [[throw]]s). Toon Link overall has strong [[matchup]]s (with his only {{b|counter|matchup}} being {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}), and has achieved above average [[tournament]] results (which have been especially strong in Meta Knight-banned tournaments).

===Matchups===
{{SSBBMatchupTable|toonlink=yes}}
Toon Link has good matchups overall. He is countered by one character (namely {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}), soft countered by 8, has 7 even matchups, soft counters 11, counters 8, and hard counters one (namely {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}. Toon Link's projectiles make him an effective zoner, and his disjointed hitbox also helps. His semi-powerful moves for his weight class make him a threat. He also is not hindered by the flaws of regular Link, meaning he is good in the air and has an amazing recovery. His projectiles help him greatly against matchups like the Ice Climbers, to the extent that he is one of four characters who soft counters them. The Ice Climbers have a hard time approaching and grabbing the slippery Toon Link, aiding him tremendously in that matchup. Everyone else higher-tiered than him at least soft counters him (except {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} and {{SSBB|Lucario}}). Meta Knight, in particular, has an easy time with Toon Link because of the amount of options he has that can overwhelm him.

Toon Link is an optional character in the Subspace Emissary, along with {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSBB|Wolf}}, who can only be unlocked after the mode has been completed. To find him, players must enter a new door in the Forest which appears after defeating Tabuu for the first time that takes them to the [[Pirate Ship]], where Toon Link prepares for battle. Defeating Toon Link will add him to the player's team. He does not have an actual role in the overall plot.

*Toon Link's render is identical to an [[zeldawiki:File:TWW Link Artwork 3.png|official piece of artwork of him for ''The Wind Waker'']].
*Toon Link's [[grab aerial]] can be used to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JZObyeS_jQ&t=6m44s save him from a KO at extremely high damages], ranging up to even higher than 300%, if an attack hits him low enough that his tether is within grabbing distance of the ledge as he passes by it. This requires very fast reaction to pull off, and is not often seen in competitive play due to there being few semi-spikes with KO power (which are the only type of moves that can hit Toon Link low enough to being within grabbing distance of the ledge).
