No more clone

[Ganondorf131]

I was thinking about Young Link and Link (my two players...) and my thoughts soon wandered to the topic of their likeness of moves. They are all the same, the boomerang, the arrows, the same smashes, bombs...it's all the same. I know some have different effects, but that's not the point. Young Link, in OOT is completely different from Link in that he has different items. I thought it would do all clones, not just Young Link justice to give them different moves than their counterparts. I haven't thought about what other clones, (Ganondorf, Falco, Pichu, you get the idea) would have that's different than what they have now, but I thought it would be pretty cool if Young Link had: Bombchu instead of Bombs, Deku Nuts instead of Arrows, Slingshot instead of Boomerang, and uhh...... I haven't put much thought into what he would have instead of his ^b. Maybe...hmmm... well maybe you all could help me out. I just wanted to see what the rest of you think about this, and if you think of variations for other clones, let's hear those too.

Oh yea, and the Grapple Hook from Wind Waker would be cool instead of Hookshot.

I AM VERY AWARE OF THE DIFFERENT PROPERTIES OF LINK AND YOUNG LINK'S MOVES

Link and Young Link are actually completely different. Practically every move has different properties for each of them. A more unique moveset for Young Link would be nice though.

i dont think you needed t point that out for him....

also, there is a very very small to no need to post this here, since im pretty sure no HAL employes are here and reading our thoughts on new moevs and chars.

so this topic is more or less really useless.

[Ganondorf131]

Thanks, I really appreciate that. But I think you missed the point of the thread, sorry. I don't care if HAL employees are looking or not, I could care less. I want to hear people's opinions or other variations. So unless you have something useful to say, then don't post here. It's a simple solution that I believe will make everyone happy.

[Neophos]

im just wondering what diffrence this will do, knowing that some people thinks is sjould be good with bombchus for Y.Link. on Gfaqs there are really big threads about this, maybe you should go there.

also, I don't care if HAL employees are looking or not, I could care less.

i could care less, huh? that means you do care of they are looking, but maybe not you really really want them to look. why does a lot of people write it like that, and not "i couldn´t care less"??

or maybe you really meant that you could care less?

There is a point, it's called for fun.

I like the idea of using bombchu..he follows the path until a certain amount of time and explodes.

[Ganondorf131]

YES! Thank you! It's supposed to be FUN. Deku nuts could stun them shortly, and the slingshot would just be another projectile. I don't suppose you could angle it like the boomerang though, but it would still give time to run in (like fire arrows) and follow up with another move. Bombchu of course may not be as useful at edge guarding as bombs are, but....since they always stick to the ground, you could use them to hit cliffhangers.

Young Link can maybe also have that roll attack that's in OOT and WW and rely less on his sword than Link, you know. Charge it up instead of his current forward smash, which is super lagy and ****ty. Heh. Since he's supposed to be fast.

[Exenwyr]

I would pesonally enjoy it if they DID decide to keep clones, to make them a sort of alternate outfit. (like falcon's blood-hawk/****-hawk)

but if they did make y-link his own character, I wouldn't mind seeing him with ice arrows instead of fire... have similar effect to the ice climber's breath. especially since they didn't really take advantage of the ice arrows until Majora's mask...

something else that might be cool is the pegasus boots (from LttP and LA, not OOT) probably a charged attack, sort of like jigglypuff's rollout

also, a nice Up-b move, if you're looking for an entireley new set, would be cucco. I could see it working like peach's parasol in the air and more like your bombchu idea for the gound (except it doesn't explode... Well... It COULD explode... That'd be awesome)

his down b, I think it'd be interesting to see him pull out the biggoron's sword. a transformation of sorts, it owuld slow him down, weight him down, but give him a better reach and a bit stronger blows.

those are just a few of my ideas... I also have a million ideas for ganondorf, but htis is a link thread, not a LOZ thread :)

[EdreesesPieces]

How about a character who can switch between LINK AND YOUNG LINK! ALA Sheik!!!!!!!!

[That Diablos Guy]

Or how about adding more clones? Like Old Link? Wouldn't that be cool? He could have the same moves as Link, but with more lag.

[Creature_85]

Young Link should have masks. His down B could give you any random mask from the bunny hood (shows up 14% of the time)

The blast mask (1 % of the time, starts exploding randomly, doing equal damage to the hammer),

The one crying mask, (5% of the time, forgot what it was called, it would make anyone who comes near you start crying, similar effects to sleep)

The frog mask (20% of the time, makes an army of frogs run across the screen, kind of like unown, but only do 1 damage)

And the cow mask (60% of the time, completely worthless, slows you down)

I Think it would be cool if they had Fierce Diety(not sure if i spelled that rite but uh...) from Majora's Mask. He has that bad a** sword and they could prolly do alot of things with him as a character.

I thought it would do all clones, not just Young Link justice to give them different moves than their counterparts.

The way I see it this is all that should be done. Change some moves to give different variation, not just the same moves with different properties. Not with all moves, but enough to put a stronger boundary between characters and their clones.

[Ice Rabbit]

Bombchu would be cool, but I doubt a HAL employee will find this, so it's all a waste.
