'''Quickdraw''', or '''QDing''', is when [[Link (SSBB)|Link]] or [[Toon Link (SSBB)|Toon Link]] [[Bow|shoot an arrow]] as they land on the ground. This will cause the arrow to be shot very quickly with no landing lag. There are several applications with this that greatly increase Link/Toon Link play. You can also use this technique with [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]] if he copies Link or Toon Link.

To do a Quickdraw, just simply jump, then right before you hit the ground, tap B. You can [[short hop]] this as well as use a regular jump.

=== Bomb and Boomerang ===
===Bomb and Boomerang===
A very quick and useful technique is SH Bomb or Boomerang to QD. To do either of them, just short hop and quickly press either Side B or A (if a Bomb is pulled out already). If done quick enough, you should be able to tap B just as you land for a Quickdraw. This is very useful for comboing as well as keeping Toon Link's distance from his opponents.

This refers to SHFF N-Airing with Toon Link and then QDing. This is very good because of how the moves string together, and if done right, stalls the opponent for future comboing. QDing can also be done with F-Airs.

=== Short Hop Double Arrows ===
===Short Hop Double Arrows===
Another technique is SHDA, which causes Toon Link to shoot two arrows at pretty much the same time. To SHDA, you must SH, quickly press B to shoot an arrow, tap B as soon as you can, and the resulting Quickdraw causes two arrows flying essentially simultaneously.
