Link's projectiles and Zair should be used as effectively as possible, but I think the most important projectile beside his bombs is the boomerang. It's the Gale Boomerang like in Brawl which some may not like, but this is actually pretty useful now. If angled and timed perfectly, the whirlwind effect can gimp opponents that try to recover horizontally above the ledge due to how fast it pulls them. You can also use the effect to pull in unsuspecting opponents for follow-ups such as usmash, Dair, etc.
Since Link's short hop is shorter than in Brawl, you can now mix-up short-hopped boomerang and full-jump boomerang with other projectiles and attacks much more effectively. For example, I like doing backwards SH boomerang to forward SH arrow or bomb throw because it puts a lot of pressure on the opponent, making them more likely to switch to playing offensively if they weren't already. The boomerang can lead into Fair quite nicely. Take advantage of Link's boomerang and aerial mobility to better your meta.
