Link (リンク, Rinku) will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He retains his Special Moves Spin Attack, Bow, and Bomb. His design is heavily based on his appearances in both The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The colour palette is taken from his appearance in Skyward Sword, but his hair, handedness, bracers, and bombs are similar to those in Twilight Princess. His 3DS look, however, resembles more closely his Twilight Princess appearance.
