Undid edit by Tommaso Gabisi: Does not belong here. I would move it to the Figure-8 Circuit page itself, but I also can't really prove that this happens since I don't have Brawl.

 '''Link''' ({{ja|リンク|Rinku}}, ''Link'') returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' at [[E3 2006]]. He was one of the original 4 members to be confirmed as returning playable character at [[E3 2006]], with the other three being [[Mario]], [[Kirby]], and [[Pikachu]].
-Akira Sasanuma, who previously voiced Link in ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', reprises his role as the character in ''Brawl'', with recycled voice clips from the game, replacing Nobuyuki Hiyama in ''64'' and ''Melee''.
+Akira Sasanuma is the voice of Link in all regions of ''Brawl'', succeeding Nobuyuki Hiyama. Following a trend from the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', Link's voice clips are re-purposed directly from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'', featuring a combination of returning voice clips and ones left over from the game's recordings sessions.
-Link is currently ranked 35th on the tier list, placing him in the middle of the F tier, a vast drop from his position of 18th in ''Melee'', and his worst placement in the series.  Link is equipped with a useful [[DACUS]] that helps his mobility, camping ability, some of the best overall [[reach]] in his attacks, great [[momentum cancelling]], the third-best potential vertical endurance, and many KO moves. Like his ''Melee'' incarnation, he still has multiple projectiles, all of which are effective for [[spacing]]. [[Gale Boomerang]]s can be used to apply pressure, he can fire arrows and allow characters to approach, and [[bomb]]s can be used for [[edgeguarding]]. Despite his various [[projectile]]s and [[DACUS]], Link has atrocious mobility due to poor [[Dashing|dashing speed]], [[air speed]], and [[jump]]ing ability. In addition, Link has lackluster frame data throughout his moveset (his fastest grounded attack, [[jab]], and his fastest aerial, [[back aerial]], have startup lags of 7 and 6 frames, respectively), giving him almost nonexistent [[out of shield]] options, one of the worst [[aerial]] games, and an unremarkable [[neutral]] game. His most crippling flaw, however, is his [[recovery]], which has been heavily [[nerf]]ed from ''Melee'' to being one of the worst recoveries in ''Brawl'', often preventing him from fulfilling his amazing endurance potential. [[Spin Attack]] doesn't grant him much horizontal distance (and barely any without prior momentum), his [[bomb]]s are less effective for [[bomb recovery]], and his hookshot can no longer [[wall grapple]] (instead targeting only the edge, making it easily edgehogged). Overall, Link has unimpressive match-ups against most characters (especially in the top tiers) and terrible tournament results.

-|utiltname=&nbsp;
+|utiltname=Half-Moon Slash ({{ja|半月斬り|Hangetsu Giri}})

-|dtiltname=&nbsp;
+|dtiltname=Grass Cutter ({{ja|草薙ぎ|Kusanagi}}, ''Grass Mower'')
 |dtiltdmg=12%
 |dtiltdesc=Swipes sword across ground. [[Meteor smash]]es aerial opponents in contact with Link's body and the hilt of the sword. This is more difficult to use as a meteor smash than other down tilts, because the sweetspot is significantly smaller, ranging only from his head to his body (while crouching).

 |dashdmg=12% (blade), 10% (tip), 11% (arm & body)

 |fsmash2dmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|17}} (blade), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|20}} (arm), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|19}} (body)
 |fsmashdesc=Link lunges forward with a wide sword swing in front of him, dealing good damage and knockback when tipped. The base of his sword has extremely little knockback, designed to link onto an optional second hit: a sword swing with greater KO power.
-|usmashname=&nbsp;
+|usmashname=Triple Sword Slice ({{ja|三段斬り|Sandan Giri}}, ''Three-Stage Cutter'')
 |usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|4}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|3}} (hit 2), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|10}} (hit 3 blade), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|9}} (hit 3 arm), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|8}} (hit 3 body)

 |dsmashdesc=Swipes sword from front to back, having very quick start-up but moderately long ending lag. Opponents can be hit by both swipes if they are between Link and the Gale Boomerang during its second phase as it pulls the opponent towards Link; however, good timing is required.
-|nairname=&nbsp;
+|nairname=Link Kick ({{ja|リンクキック|Rinku Kikku}})

+|fairname=Spinning Sweep ({{ja|回転なぎ払い|Kaiten Nagiharai}}, ''Rotating Mow-Down'')
 |fairdmg=9% (hit 1), 12% (hit 2)
 |fairdesc=Swings his sword twice while spinning 360 degrees. Second hit has great knockback, though the first hit only sets up the second hit at very low percentages, making it hard to use as a KOing move.
-|bairname=&nbsp;
+|bairname=Double Kick ({{ja|二段蹴り|Nidan Geri}}, ''Two-Stage Kick'')
 |bairdmg=4% (hit 1), 7% (hit 2)

-|uairname=&nbsp;
+|uairname=Jump Thrust ({{ja|上突き|Ue Tsuki}}, ''Up Stab'')
 |uairdmg=15% (clean), 13% (late)
 |uairdesc=Thrusts his sword upward, just like the upward thrust attack in ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''. Long duration and can [[star KO]] at higher damages, though it has a slow startup, little horizontal range, and significantly high ending lag.
-|dairname=&nbsp;
+|dairname=Downward Thrust ({{ja|下突き|Shita Tsuki}}, ''Down Stab'')
 |dairdmg=22% (clean), 18% (late), 8% (after bounce)
 |dairdesc=Holds his sword downward, this time based on his "Downthrust" from ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link''. Bounces when the attack lands, possibly scoring an additional hit, but goes through opponents if Link is fast falling. A very powerful finisher that can K.O as low as 75%, but if missed leaves Link open for 50 frames if not auto-cancelled (the laggiest aerial landing in the game).
-|zairname=[[Clawshot]] ({{ja|クローショット|Kurōshotto}})
+|zairname=Midair [[Clawshot]] ({{ja|空中クローショット|Kūchū Kurōshotto}})
 |zairdmg=4% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2)
 |zairdesc=Link fires his [[Clawshot]] forward, scoring two hits. Has no landing lag at all. Can be used as a [[tether recovery]]. Very useful for spacing and stopping approaches against taller characters.
 |grabname=Clawshot ({{ja|クローショット|Kurōshotto}})
 |grabdesc=&nbsp;

+|pummelname=Grab Hilt Strike ({{ja|つかみ柄なぐり|Tsukami Tsuka Naguri}}, ''Grab Hilt/Grip Punching'')

 |bthrowdmg=3% (hit 1), 4% (throw)
 |bthrowdesc=Link throws the opponent behind him and kicks them away.
-|uthrowname=&nbsp;
+|uthrowname=Throw-Away Slash ({{ja|投げ捨て斬り|Nagesute Kiri}})
 |uthrowdmg=5%/4% (hit 1), 2% (throw)
 |uthrowdesc=Link raises the opponent above him and slashes upward. The hitbox has a sweetspot and a sourspot, although the sourspot can only connect against bystanders.
-|dthrowname=&nbsp;
+|dthrowname=Elbow Strike ({{ja|ヒジ打ち|Hiji Uchi}})
 |dthrowdmg=3% (hit 1), 4% (throw)
 |dthrowdesc=Link takes the opponent onto the ground and elbow drops them. Unlike Link's other throws, this throw is weight dependent. As the throw has a hitbox which only lasts for one frame, this can cause problems (with the hitbox simply not coming out when the throw is used against {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} or {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}).

 |fsdmg=5% (traping), 4% (hits 1-15), 18% (hit 16)

-Link has among the worst matchup spreads in ''Brawl''. He soft counters two characters, {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} and {{SSBB|Zelda}}, and is even with three, but is soft countered by seven, countered by 20, and hard countered by four. He suffers against characters who can outspeed him such as {{SSBB|Sonic}} and {{SSBB|Sheik}}, characters who can outcamp him such as {{SSBB|Falco}}, or characters that can chaingrab him to death such as {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. Overall, Link has very few advantageous matchups, and his positive matchups are rarely seen in competitive play.

 ===Tier placement and history===
 Despite the considerable power buffs he received in ''Brawl'', his amazing vertical [[momentum cancelling]], and possessing a usable DACUS, Link has perpetually hovered among ''Brawl'''s bottom four characters since the first tier list. Link's terrible and extremely [[gimp]]able [[recovery]] has always significantly limited his survivability even in the early inexperienced ''Brawl'' [[metagame]], and his very sluggish attacks and terrible mobility significantly inhibited Link's ability to effectively compete even from the earliest stages of competitive play. While Link had a few renowned players, such as {{Sm|KirinBlaze}}, {{Sm|Legan}}, and {{Sm|Izaw}}, these players were never a high placing threat at majors, with no Link player ever placing higher than 33rd at a major, and even at average regionals, making top 8 was unobtainable. Eventually all of them either dropped Link for a better character or stopped playing ''Brawl'' competitively altogether, and while {{Sm|Scizor}} would emerge late in ''Brawl'' as a strong Link player in one of the strongest regions, he too couldn't buck this trend. As such, Link's competitive prospects have never prospered throughout Brawl's competitive lifespan, and while he is very rarely thought of as a candidate for the worst character in the game, he never rose beyond being considered a bottom tier.
