I know that Toon Link has a bad rep for being a campy, cowardly, bomb-throwing, auto-comboing, irritant of a cast member, so we can get those statements out of the way.
While Toon Link has a very capable toolkit for the projectile tossing, runaway playstyle, why has nobody tried to get a bit more agressive, ala Lucas? Don't get me wrong, I know TL isn't Lucas. I don't think TL is as blatantly aggressive as Lucas' seem to be, but he has a decent offensive toolkit for approaches. My comparison comes from Lucas' sh PK freeze and TL bombs or sh 'rang both being capable approaches/neutral coverage.
Rather than running around or camping, what's to stop you from tossing a boomerang or bomb on approach and just getting into people? He has solid combos and close range tools, and ranged tools for dealing with people who can out-priority or outrange him and covering his approaches. I'm slowly working on my Toon Link, and I usually opt for a more aggressive play-style, unlike when I play my normal Link, where I camp far more actively because to his shorter projectile windup and more solid pressure options.
This might seem like a kinda noobish question, but it's more of a rhetorical one. What am I missing here? Why aren't you getting in there and kicking some tail?
Side note: Take what I say with a grain of salt, as this is a semi-outside view of the TL meta.
