{{SSBU|Link}} has received a major aesthetic and gameplay overhaul. He is now based on the Hero of the Wild and thus features a heavily reworked moveset to reference his appearance in ''Breath of the Wild''. As Young Link hails from ''Ocarina of Time'', he is closest to his older self's appearances in ''[[Link|SSB]]'' and ''[[Link|Melee]]'', effectively serving as the classic Link archetype for this game. He retains moves and characteristics from ''Melee'' that the Hero of the Wild lacks (most notably a [[flurry attack]] and [[Hookshot]]), yet has also received a few changes that reference his descendant, the Hero of Twilight, as he appeared in ''[[Link|Brawl]]'' and ''[[Link|Smash 4]]''. While these changes further de-[[clone]] Young Link from Link, he remains a full clone instead of a semi-clone due to his large number of shared attacks (compared to Toon Link, who has roughly as many unique attacks as not).
Since Link is the Hero of the Wild and thus features a heavily reworked moveset to reference his appearance in ''Breath of the Wild'', Young Link effectively functions as the classic Link archetype. Furthermore, as Young Link hails from ''Ocarina of Time'', he is closest to his older self's appearances in [[Link (SSB)|''SSB'']] and [[Link (SSBM)|''Melee'']]. He retains moves and characteristics from ''Melee'' that the Hero of the Wild lacks (most notably a [[flurry attack]] and [[Hookshot]]), yet has also received a few changes that reference his descendant, the Hero of Twilight, as he appeared in [[Link (SSBB)|''Brawl'']] and [[Link (SSB4)|''SSB4'']]. While these changes may further de-[[clone]] Young Link from Link, he remains a full clone instead of a semi-clone due to his large number of shared attacks (compared to Toon Link, who has roughly as many unique attacks as not).
