Toon Link (トゥーンリンク, Toon Link) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was announced on the official website on September 26th, 2013, the release date of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD in Japan. He retains equipment from The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, such as the Wind Waker, along with the designs of the Master Sword, Hero's Shield, Hero's Bow, Bombs, Boomerang and Hookshot from those games.
Toon Link is once again voiced by Sachi Matsumoto, albeit via her voice clips from Brawl.
Changes from Brawl
In the transition from Brawl to SSB4, Toon Link gained some important buffs to his speed, Hookshot, and projectile utility. Previously, Toon Link possessed arguably the worst grab and throws in 'Brawl', with the shortest grab range for a tether grabber, very high ending lag as a lack of compensation for a longer grab range from the rest of the cast, and near useless throws being his shortcoming. However, he now has far less ending lag on a missed grab, and his Up throw is now useful for combo's, with Back throw being his best throw for kills. Additionally, with bombs now no longer damaging Toon Link on contact with foes, they are now very useful in melee combat when combined with his Boomerang, particularly when followed up with finishers such as his powerful Forward aerial.
However, some noticeable nerfs have been made, mostly to his power, recovery and combo ability. Although his Hookshot now reaches incredibly far to grab ledges offstage, vertical recovery without a wall has been made more difficult with his Spin Attack being shortened. In addition, his Back aerial, which was an incredibly useful combo tool in Brawl, has much more ending lag, making it very hard to combo with, and his Down aerial no longer bounces on opponents, making it much harder to rack damage and space with it. Despite this, he still remains a very powerful and formidable opponent, although, debatably, he is not as powerful as he was in Brawl.
Aesthetics
Toon Link's color scheme is noticeably brighter overall in this game compared to Brawl, with more emphasis on primary colors. In addition, his proportions are matched more closely to his most recent appearance in The Wind Waker HD.- Side taunt now shows Toon Link watching a fairy, which has its design from The Wind Waker, as it flies around him.[1]
- In the 3DS version, Toon Link does not have his various iconic facial expressions from Brawl and The Wind Waker, instead having a single expression that varies slightly. This is presumably to avoid any unnecessary hardware strain on the 3DS. In the Wii U version, however, Toon Link retains his generally expressive facial expressions from Brawl, including many more new ones. The newer expressions are possibly inspired from his facial expressions available when taking selfies using the Pictobox in The Wind Waker HD.
Attributes
Toon Link walks slightly faster- Toon Link dashes faster.
- Toon Link rolls much faster.
- Toon Link now flinches when a projectile or bomb explosion hits his Hero's Shield, making it more reliable when attempting to block multiple projectiles.
- Toon Link is slightly heavier than in Brawl.
- Toon Link's falling speed has increased.
- Toon Link now swings more realistically when hanging off the edge on his Hookshot, now being able to swing under the stage, as opposed to halting all momentum just below the edge.
Toon Link's air speed has been reduced.
Ground attacks
- Jab (third hit), dash attack (base), up tilt, down tilt, up smash (uncharged), forward smash (second hit), and down smash all deal less damage.
- Forward tilt now has a new sourspot at the base of the blade. The semi-spike sweetspot is now solely located at the centre of the blade.
- Up tilt has lost most of its KO power.
- Up tilt has been sped up, and works better as a combo and damage-racking attack.
- At low percents, Down tilt now always trips opponents.
- Dash attack can no longer trip opponents, only resulting in knocking them in the air.
- Forward smash has been sped up has more vertical reach, and the first hit now properly knocks the opponent forward instead of up, into the second hit.
- The window of time that the A button can be pressed after the first hit of forward smash in able to activate the second hit has been significantly tightened, leading to less accidental activations of the second hit, but making it so that one cannot use the delay as much in order to hit with the second hit.
- Down smash's first hit has higher knockback growth, limiting the move's damage racking utility but enhancing its knockback power.
Aerial attacks
- Neutral, up (late), and down aerial (late, non-meteor) all deal less damage.
- Back aerial does 11% damage, as opposed to 10%.
- Back aerial has much more ending lag, to the point where only one can be fit in a single short hop, as opposed to two. Its landing lag has also been increased.
- Down aerial now goes through opponents, as opposed to bouncing on them, making it more risky to be used as an edgeguarding tool.
- Down aerial's windbox size and power are increased.
- His grab aerial comes out much faster.
- Aerial Hookshot now has very minor knockback growth, becoming more apparent at percents above 100%.
Throws/other attacks
- Up throw has less base knockback, allowing for better follow-ups.
- Back throw's knockback has been dramatically increased, being able to KO reliably at higher percents.
- Down throw has higher knockback growth, limiting its use at higher percentages.
- Hookshot on the ground has significantly less ending lag. It can also now grab onto aerial foes. In addition, it can also latch on to ledges from a much greater distance, up to three times the distance it used to in Brawl.
- Hookshot can only be used to grab the edge of the stage twice, as opposed to three. In order to be able to grab it again, Toon Link must land on the ground or get hit.
- Toon Link's new permanent ledge attack attack does 7%, as opposed to 8% or 10% from his Brawl ledge attacks. It also has the reduced vertical range of his Brawl ledge attack above 100%.
- Toon Link's new ledge attack is much faster then both of his old ledge attacks.
- If Toon Link hits Grab in the air while holding a bomb, instead of just dropping his bomb, he now drops his bomb and uses his hookshot at the same time. This makes it impossible to use any of his bomb advanced techniques, like the ZAC, iZAC, etc. However, the ability to use these attacks at the same time open up possibilities for new advanced techniques.
Special moves
- Hero's Bow charges faster and travels further charged.
- Arrows can no longer be Quickdrawn.
- Boomerang travels a longer distance.
- Spin Attack covers slightly less vertical and horizontal distance in the air.
- It is easier for all hits of an aerial Spin Attack to connect, making this a more powerful finisher.
- Spin Attack now has a green sword trail, which resembles that seen from the move in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
- If a Bomb connects with the opponent or their shield, the blast radius will not affect the user.
- If the opponents grab a Bomb and throws it at an opponent, the explosion will not harm them either.
- Triforce Slash's damage has been reduced from 78% to 60%.
Version exclusives
- In the 3DS version, the hookshot follows a straight path like Link's hookshot in Super Smash Bros.[2] However, in the Wii U version, the hookshot limps once fully extended like it did in Brawl. They both seem to behave the exact same regardless.
- In the Wii U version, Bombs appear to be larger. This doesn't seem to affect gameplay.

Victory Fanfare
A flourished remix directly from Brawl. It is a remix of the tune that will play when Link obtained a Triforce Piece in The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is shared with Link, Zelda, Sheik, and Ganondorf.
Trophies
- Toon Link
This cartoonish version of Link is how he appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and a few other titles. In Smash Bros., he uses moves much like his older, taller counterpart. His small size gives him extra speed, though, so take advantage of that to send your foes flying.
This cartoonish version of young Link is how he appears in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and a few other titles. While he shares some moves with his older counterpart, he's a very different fighter. Take advantage of his size and speed to whirl past enemies and bombard them with long-range attacks.

: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (12/2009)
- Toon Link (Alt.)
- Toon Link's Bomb move doesn't deal much damage, but the blast radius is pretty big. His bombs can be thrown in all directions, damaging or distracting your foes. Also, his up special Spin Attack keeps him airborne longer than Link's version. For some launching power, use the side smash attack.
- Toon Link's bombs don't do much damage, but their large blast radius makes it easy to hit foes with them. You can also throw them in any directions, making them a great diversionary tactic. His Spin Attack gives him more air-time than Link. His side smash may seem weak, but press the button again for a second hit that'll really send 'em flying!
