Izaw91 is a Swedish smasher famous for playing Link. He is noted for playing a selection of characters at a competent level. Izaw's claim to fame was his YouTube account where he would post several matches and "combo videos" mostly, if not all starring Link. Izaw has played Melee but has gained worldwide fame from playing Brawl. Izaw recently competed in a European "Super Lion Tournament" where he was able to play against top European players such as Europe's best [[Snake]] [[Calzorz]] and Europe's best [[Marth]] [[Mr. R]].
'''Izaw''', formerly known as '''Izaw91''', is an ''[[SSB4]]'' and ''[[SSBU]]'' [[Link]] player from Sweden, who has also lived and competed in Canada. While a prominent figurehead in the Link community, he is more notable for his [[YouTube]] content, primarily his ''Art of...'' series, a tutorial series wherein he delves into the competitive and technical aspects of characters.


Izaw is a part of a worldwide "Link Community" and compiled a "combo" video entitled "Believe the Legend" where he along with other Link players demonstrate their skill.  
On August 28th, 2016, Izaw was signed by [[Beefy Smash Doods]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://beefysmashdoods.com/article_izaw.html|title=Izaw joins the BSD Smash4 Team!}}</ref> On April 13th, 2018, Izaw, along with fellow smashers {{Sm|Elegant}}, {{Sm|Aarvark}}, and {{Sm|quiK}}, parted ways with Beefy Smash Doods.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/BeefySmashDoods/status/984813051059818497|title=Beefy Smash Doods parts ways with Elegant, Aarvark, quiK, and Izaw}}</ref>
