Toon Link (トゥーンリンク, Tūn Rinku) was leaked to be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His moveset appears similar to that of Link (SSBM) and Young Link (SSBM). His appearance is based off of his look in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass, among other games.
Role in Subspace Emissary
Toon Link is an optional character in Subspace Emmisary, much like Jigglypuff and Wolf. To find him players must enter a new door in Forest which appears after finishing the Subspace Emissary. It will take you to the Great Sea and you will then fight Toon Link. He does not have a significant role in the overall plot.

Standard Moves
Ground Attacks
- Dash A - Horizontal slash, similar to Link's dash A.
- Neutral A - Slashes twice then thrusts his sword forward.
- Forward Tilt - Slash from behind Toon Link to in front of him. Begining of the attack hits behind him. Slowest of his tilts.
- Down Tilt - Swipes his sword along the ground.
- Up Tilt - Quick overhead swipe. Covers a fairly large arc.
- Forward Smash - Standard Link-type weak slash forward, with option to tack on a much stronger forward smash by hitting A or forward on the C-stick within a window afterwards.
- Up Smash - Single overhead strike. Slower, longer ranged, and more powerful than his uptilt.
- Down Smash - Sweeps his sword in front of and then behind him along the ground. First hit knocks in to second hit.
Aerial Attacks
- Neutral Aerial - Double swipe of the sword, similar to Link's Foward Air or Marth's Neutral Air.
- Forward Aerial - Slow forward slash, high knockback
- Back Aerial - Quick backward arc, raising from his feet to about his head. High damage, but low knockback, enabling multiple-hits strung together consecutively.
- Up Aerial - Sticks his sword above him, as per usual Link Up Air. Long duration, decent knockback.
- Down Aerial - Sticks his sword straight down, as per usual Link Down Air. However, this has a twist. When the attack begins, it stalls momentarily in midair, then launches Toon Link downwards very quickly. This property means the move can be used while being knocked upwards to stop vertical knockback. The begining of the downwards descent can spike the opponent.
Grabs and Throws
- Down Throw: Throws opponent on the ground and slams on top of them.
- Up Throw: Throws opponent upward and slashes them.
- Back Throw: Pulls opponent close, falls back, then kicks them backwards.
- Forward Throw: Drops opponent quickly and slashes them forward.
How to Unlock
After completing Classic Mode with Link or Zelda on any difficulty after already finishing the Subspace Emissary, Toon Link will be fought after the credits.
Toon Link can also be found near the beginning of the Forest level of the Subspace Emissary after the story is completed.
