Toon Link (トゥーンリンク, Tūn Rinku) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was announced on the official website on September 26th, 2013. Toon Link was announced on the release date of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD in Japan. He retains equipment exclusive to The Wind Waker version of Toon Link, such as the Master Sword, Hero's Shield, and Wind Waker. In addition to being a playable character, Link from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks appears in a similar cel-shaded style in the background of the Spirit Train stage.
Toon Link is overall much brighter in this game, as well as his proportions appearing more closely to his most recent appearance in The Wind Waker HD.
Changes from Brawl
Toon Link appears to be majorly buffed from Brawl to SSB4, in terms of both power and speed. A few nerfs have been made.
Toon Link is slightly heavier than in Brawl.- Toon Link appears to dash faster.
- Hookshot grab has significantly less ending lag, and follows a straight path like Link's hookshot in Super Smash Bros.[1] It can also latch on to ledges from a much greater distance.
- His grab aerial comes out much faster.
- Up throw has less base knockback.
- Hero's Bow charges faster and travels further charged.
- Boomerang travel a longer distance.
- Forward smash and up tilt have been sped up.
Down throw has higher knockback growth, limiting its use at higher percentages.- Down aerial now goes straight down through opponents, rather than bouncing off them when contact is made.
- Back aerial has a bit more ending lag.
Spin Attack now has a green sword trail.
- However, it is much shorter in the air and relies heavily on momentum, and also halts Toon Link in the air once it starts finishing
- Down smash's first hit has higher knockback growth, limiting the move's damage racking utility but enhancing its KO power.
- Side taunt now shows Toon Link looking at a fairy.[2]
The following moves are visually unchanged:
- Neutral attack
- Forward tilt
- Up tilt
- Down tilt
- Forward smash
- Up smash
- Down smash
- Dash attack
- Neutral aerial
- Forward aerial
- Back aerial
- Up aerial
- Floor attack
- Triforce Slash
- Up taunt
