Link has had multiple iterations in the Smash Brothers series, with Adult Link, Young Link, and Toon Link. So if Link got a new semi-clone based on the new amazing game Breath of the Wild, here is how I think his moveset would be like.
Neutral B:
Bow - this link is able to move and jump while charging his bow.
Side B:
Throw / Magnesis - Link throws his sword which does the damage and knockback of a smash attack. Link cannot use any of his normal, aerial, or smash attacks without his sword. If this ability is used when the sword has already been thrown it will activate magnesis which will pull the sword back towards Link. If Link's sword was thrown off the map or picked up by an enemy Link will have to wait on a cooldown for his sword to respawn similar to Luma's cooldown. The sword cannot be caught mid air after being thrown.
Up B:
Spin Attack - after an aerial spin attack is preformed this Link will automatically begin gliding on his paraglider.
Down B:
Remote Bomb - throws a bomb that can be remotely detonated by pressing down b when a bomb is already active. While it has a larger blast radius than Links bomb, it also has a significantly longer cooldown. The remote bomb will not detonate unless you detonate it.
Final Smash:
Ancient Arrow - works like an aimable but slightly less powerful version of Zelda's ult.
Grab:
Grab - there is no claw shot in Breath of the Wild so this link has a standard grab and no tether recovery.
Other Info:
This Link has the same weight as Toon Link.
This Link can wall cling but not wall jump.
While this link does have drawbacks like more cooldowns, less weight, and no tether grab, his moves are generally more powerful / versatile. This is because it is accurate to the differences between the games, but also because basic Link (just isn't that strong). So I was hoping to make a B tier character than a D tier character.
I hope my ideas are both balanced, accurate, and unique. I'd love to hear feedback. The biggest thing I'm conflicted on though is what this Link would be called. It doesn't make sense to call him "New Link" or "Half Toon Link". Or how about "Hawt Link" because we all know how Reggie feels
. I really don't know what this character would be called.
