This is a thread based on Link's matchups (my opinion and no they will not be biased)

Bowser[edit]

Bowser may be a powerhouse of destruction and the heaviest character in the game but he is also the easiest character to combo. This gives Link many advantages. Link can projectile spam him and combo him with slight ease than Bowser can. Bowser himself also has a projectile that can save him from some of his projectiles, but Link can trick him into using it so he can Zair combo him. Link can out camp him so Bowser will have fewer options.

Bowser does have more faster kill moves than Link and can also outlive him. Bowser also has a better air game than Link (like almost every character). Bowser has very few gimping options. Only the Fair and Bair have gimping properties. Fire Breath works, but it will help Link recover. Link can gimp Bowser himself with his bombs, Zair and Bair. Link should be careful if he is trying to attack Bowser in the air, Bowser can kill Link in the air with slight ease (though it's not so easy due to Link's momentum canceling which is superior to Bowser's). The main reason why Link has and advantage is that Link can easily space himself from Bowser, forcing Bowser to use another form of strategy to get to Link, which can be stopped (depending on the form of strategy) due to Link's projectile spamming.

Take Bowser to stages with no platforms such as Final Destination to space yourself from Bowser. Don't go to places with platforms, Bowser will have more options to get to Link making the matchup closer to even.
