| '''Toon Link''' is the incarnation of [[Link]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]''. In ''The Wind Waker'', this version of Link goes on a quest to rescue his kidnapped sister, [[zeldawiki:Aryll|Aryll]], and later becomes known as the "Hero of Winds" for his courageous efforts against the returning [[Ganondorf]]. In ''Phantom Hourglass'', Toon Link is transported to a parallel world, where he seeks to rescue his friend [[zeldawiki:Tetra|Tetra]] from the curse inflicted upon her by the squid-like monster [[zeldawiki:Bellum|Bellum]] and return home with her.
| |
| | |
| While the art style associated with the "Toon" term was technically established during the development cycle of ''The Wind Waker''<ref name=Toon/> and was depicted in 2D artwork alongside ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda:Four Swords|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'', the first usage of the term itself occurred in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' to denote the Hero of Winds from ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Phantom Hourglass''. However, the "Toon" term itself can nevertheless be used to describe the same art style, as ''[[zeldawiki:Hyrule Warriors|Hyrule Warriors]]'' demonstrated in regard to the [[Princess Zelda]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]''.<ref>[https://www.zelda.com/hyrule-warriors/character-detail/#!Toon-Zelda Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition characters - Toon Zelda]</ref>
| |
| | |
| Toon Link appears as a playable fighter in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and is treated as a separate character from Link and (in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]) [[Young Link]].
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===
| |
| Link was [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|originally supposed to]] cameo in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' as one of the many [[Nintendo]] characters (all of whom were replaced by [[Professor E. Gadd]] in the final) who would appear at the [[Starbeans Cafe]] to test out Mario and Luigi's latest Bean Juice.<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mlss_lost.shtml The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 12-13-09)</ref> His sprite seems to have been modeled after the incarnation of Link as he appears in ''[[ZeldaWiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUyG-vF-VMs Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga: More Beta Sprites] (Accessed on 12-13-09)</ref>. Meeting Link would award the player the Triforce, which was replaced with the [[Great Force]] for the final version.
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare'' series===
| |
| ====''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''====
| |
| In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', there is a microgame called [[The Wind Waker]] which involves Link using his Deku Leaf to land on an island. This game uses the form "The Mohawk".
| |
| | |
| ====''WarioWare Gold''====
| |
| The microgame The Wind Waker returns with Toon Link in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', alongside a new microgame called [[Phantom Hourglass]], in which the player must draw a path for Toon Link's boomerang to hit Shock Switches.

| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Toon Link (SSBB)}}
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Toon Link is a secret playable character. He can be unlocked by either finding a door in The Forest in The Subspace Emissary after beating the mode, playing Classic after clearing The Subspace Emissary, or by playing 400 Brawl matches, then defeating him in battle. His statistics and moveset are mostly similar to [[Young Link]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', in that he is lighter than Link, but also faster than him. Toon Link's only unique attacks are his up smash, forward and back throws, and standard, forward, and back aerials.
| |
| | |
| Toon Link's special moves are mostly the same as Link's, though Toon Link's attacks use their ''The Wind Waker'' variants. The only different move is the [[#Boomerang|Boomerang]], which is the same as Link's Boomerang in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Toon Link's grab also uses the [[zeldawiki:Hookshot|Hookshot]] from ''The Wind Waker'', which like Link's Clawshot also has a ledge-homing property, though its range is not as far. They also share a [[Final Smash]], [[#Triforce Slash|Triforce Slash]]. Despite this, some of their other moves are different, and some of their shared moves have different properties, such as Toon Link's [[#Hero's Bow|Hero's Bow]] having an arc to the arrows.
| |
| | |
| Toon Link's red, blue, and purple alternate costumes are based upon the copies of Link from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]''. He also has an alternate costume based upon the Link from the original ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', as well as a [[Dark Link]] costume.

| |
| | |
| =====The Subspace Emissary=====
| |
| [[File:SubspaceIntro-ToonLink.png|thumb|left|Toon Link's snapshot in the Subspace Emissary]]
| |
| After beating The Subspace Emissary, in The Forest stage, if the player enters the first red door in the beginning of the level, they will be taken to the [[Pirate Ship (stage)|Pirate Ship]]. There, Toon Link will be looking out to the sea. However, once he sees the player, he's surprised. Thinking the player is an enemy, he attacks the player. The player then fights Toon Link, and if he is beaten, Toon Link is unlocked as a playable character.

| ====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
| |
| [[File:3DS SmashBros scrnC02 03 E3.png|thumb|left|A pre-release screenshot of Engineer Link's appearance on the Spirit Train stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''. This situation cannot happen in the final game, nor in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]

| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Toon Link (SSB4)}}
| |
| Toon Link returns as a starter playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. His moveset remains unchanged from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', though with the game's new art style his design has been updated to more closely resemble his actual appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''. Toon Link is faster than before, but in exchange, his damage output is lower.
| |
| | |
| One of Toon Link's additional alternate costumes in this game is based upon the appearance of the Link from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]''. Additionally, Toon Link wearing the [[zeldawiki:Engineer's Clothes|Engineer's Clothes]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks]]'', also known as "Engineer Link", appears as a background character. Engineer Link appears on the [[Spirit Train]] stage in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, where he conducts the titular train. However, he is replaced by his mentor [[zeldawiki:Alfonzo|Alfonzo]] if Toon Link or Link are involved in the battle.
| |
| {{br|left}}
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Toon Link (SSBU)}}
| |
| Toon Link returns as an unlockable playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He is now further differentiated from Link than in previous games, due to the latter now being the "Hero of the Wild" from ''[[ZeldaWiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''. However, Toon Link now shares more similarities with the returning [[Young Link]]. Toon Link's moveset is largely unchanged, though his forward smash is now a single upward slash instead of two slashes with his [[zeldawiki:Master Sword|Master Sword]].
| |
| | |
| Toon Link benefits from universal changes, such as having much faster mobility, lower landing lag for his aerials, reduced short hop timing, an extended recovery because of the reintroduction of directional air dodges, and the ability to use any ground attack out of a dash and use his aerials on ladders. However, his overall damage output is decreased even further.
| |
| | |
| Engineer Link also reappears as a background character on the Spirit Train stage. In comparison to the previous installment, he appears virtually identical to the playable Toon Link (save for his Engineer's Clothes), instead of using a polygonal model similar to his appearance in ''Spirit Tracks''. As with the other ''The Legend of Zelda'' characters, Toon Link's victory theme is now a different arrangement of the main theme of the series.
| |
| {{br}}
| |
| | |
| =====Classic Mode route=====
| |
| Throughout the route, the player is assisted by a red and blue Toon Link, in reference to ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes|The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes]]''. If the player is playing as one of those Toon Links, that respective Toon Link is replaced by the default green Toon Link.

| |
| =====Hero's Bow=====
| |
| [[File:Toon Link Hero's Bow Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Toon Link using the Hero's Bow in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Hero's Bow}}
| |
| The '''[[zeldawiki:Bow|Hero's Bow]]''' is Toon Link's standard special move, shared with [[Link]] and based upon the recurring Bow item throughout [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Toon Link's Bow is designed after the Hero's Bow from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''. When used, Toon Link fires an arrow from the bow which damages any opponent it hits. The player can charge the attack to increase the distance the arrow travels and its damage output by holding down the special attack button. Unlike Link, Toon Link fires his arrows at a higher angle, although his arrows do not travel as far and do not deal as much damage.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', the first custom variant for the Hero's Bow is the '''[[Young Link#Fire Bow|Fire Bow]]''', [[Young Link]]'s variant of the move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''; Toon Link fires an arrow that does not travel as far but instead burns on the ground until it disappears, which can damage opponents. The second is '''Piercing Bow''', which fires an arrow that travels straight and quickly and can travel through enemies, but is not as powerful and does not go as far.

| =====Boomerang=====
| |
| [[File:Toon Link Boomerang Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Toon Link's Boomerang in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Boomerang}}
| |
| The '''[[zeldawiki:Boomerang|Boomerang]]''' is Toon Link's side special move, whose design is based on that of ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''. When thrown, the Boomerang damages any opponents it hits and automatically returns to the player once it hits an opponent or wall. The player can hold the control stick to make it fly farther, and it can also be thrown diagonally. The Boomerang can also fly up or down while it is active by tilting the control stick just before throwing it. Like Young Link's Boomerang, Toon Link's Boomerang does not travel as far and is not as powerful as Link's Boomerang, although it has better control.
| |
| | |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the Boomerang's first custom variant is the '''Floating Boomerang''', which makes the Boomerang move more slowly as it returns. The second is the '''High-Speed Boomerang''', which throws a faster boomerang than normal that can pass through opponents, but it is weaker than normal and does not home in on Toon Link when returning. In addition, one of the custom special moves for Link's Gale Boomerang is called "Boomerang", which gives it a similar effect to this move.

| =====Spin Attack=====
| |
| [[File:Ssb4-LinkEnemies.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Toon Link's Spin Attack in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Spin Attack}}
| |
| The '''[[zeldawiki:Spin Attack|Spin Attack]]''' is Toon Link's up special move, shared with Link and Young Link. The move is based on the Spin Attack move recurring throughout ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. When used, Toon Link spins around rapidly with his sword to deal damage. When used in the air, the move also gives the character some vertical and horizontal distance. When used on the ground, the move can be charged by holding down the special attack button. Unlike Link's Spin Attack, both Young Link and Toon Link's versions of the move can draw in opponents and deal multiple hits (although Young Link's has less range).
| |
| | |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the Spin Attack's first custom variant is the '''Sliding Spin Attack''', which gives the move a longer charging time, but it deals more damage, as well as allowing Toon Link to move across the ground, and giving the move more horizontal distance in the air. It offers less vertical distance as a drawback, however. The second variant is the '''Flying Spin Attack''', which causes the move to end with a vertical slash that sends both Toon Link and the opponent into the air, also increasing the move's vertical distance.

| |
| [[File:Toon Link Bomb Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Toon Link with a Bomb in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Bomb (Link)}}
| |
| The '''[[zeldawiki:Bomb|Bomb]]''' is Toon Link's down special move, shared with Link and Young Link. It is based on the item recurring throughout ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, although Toon Link's in particular are based on the ones from ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'', even using the more cartoon-styled explosion. When used, Toon Link pulls out a Bomb that can then be thrown at other characters to do damage, exploding on impact. Like other explosives, the Bombs also deal damage to the holder; it can also be caught and thrown by opponents, or detonate in the player's hands. Compared with Link and Young Link's Bombs, Toon Link's Bombs have a larger blast radius. The player cannot use the move while holding another item, as the bombs count as an item.
| |
| | |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the first of the Bomb's custom variants is the '''Time Bomb''', which does not detonate on impact, deal as much damage, nor fly as far when thrown, but increases the explosion's knockback. The second variant is the '''Short-Fuse Bomb''', which explodes more quickly but deals more damage, has a larger blast radius, and launches opponents up.

| ====Final Smash====
| |
| =====Triforce Slash=====
| |
| [[File:Toon Link Triforce Slash Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Toon Link's Triforce Slash in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
| |
| {{main-external|SmashWiki|Triforce Slash}}
| |
| '''Triforce Slash''' is Toon Link's [[Final Smash]]. When activated, Toon Link's [[zeldawiki:Triforce|Triforce]] on his hand glows and he fires a beam of light directly in front of him. If an opponent is in the line of fire, they are trapped between two Triforces as Toon Link rushes forward to deliver several sword blows. After fifteen slashes, Toon Link rushes through the trapped opponent, launching them. While the Triforces can only trap one opponent, other nearby opponents can take damage by coming into contact with the sword slashes or the Triforces themselves. If the beam of light does not reach an opponent, the attack fails.
| |
| | |
| Unlike Link's Triforce Slash, whose range is almost the length of [[Final Destination]], Toon Link's is less than half of that. Toon Link's attacks and knockback are also weaker than Link's, though Toon Link's final blow has a greater reach. The design of Toon Link's Triforces are also more cartoon-styled than Link's.

The former costume can be unlocked by scanning the Toon Link [[Amiibo]] or randomly after completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty, while the latter costume is unlocked after completing the "[[Tri Force Heroes]]" [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|Event Course]].

| |''This cartoonish version of Link is how he appeared in The Legend of Zelda: The 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.''

| |''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!''

Just be sure to time the Final Smash well-if the ray of light doesn't touch anyone, nothing happens. At all.''

| |''Ask 100 people what colour Link's outfit is, and they'll all say "green", guaranteed. However, in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, he also sports a dark-blue engineer's uniform. Train-driving and world-saving are two skills that should be on every hero's CV!''

| ====Palutena's Guidance====
| |
| *'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': This guy's eyes are the size of my head!
| |
| *'''[[Palutena]]''': He must be the famous Toon Link.
| |
| *'''Pit''': Where'd he get that name from anyway?
| |
| *'''Palutena''': It's probably because he looks like he jumped out of a cartoon.
| |
| *'''Pit''': Ah, I see how it is. Hmph.
| |
| *'''Palutena''': What's the matter, Pit?
| |
| *'''Pit''': It's just not fair, Lady Palutena! One Link is handsome, and the other is adorable! They're cherry-picking the best bits!
| |
| *'''Palutena''': Awww! Is poor Pit feeling a little insecure today?
| |
| *'''Viridi''': Snap out of it, Pit! You have a fight to focus on. Here's the deal: Toon Link is quick but lighter than regular Link.
| |
| *'''Palutena''': Don't get distracted by his weapons...or his intense cuteness! Just calm down and plan the best counterattack.

| *''With big eyes and an expressive face, this version of Link is how he appeared in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker game. Link lived peacefully on Outset Island until a bird captured his little sister, and he came to her rescue. His green clothes were worn on his 12th birthday and are the lucky outfit of the hero of legend.''

| |
| *''He's smaller and faster than Link. His bombs explode with a unique anime-style. For his Final Smash, he emits light from his left hand and any opponents hit by it are trapped in the Triforce, subject to a punishing gauntlet of attacks.''
