Ive never played a good link but I can only suggest what Ive seen happening before so here it goes...

Try just avoiding the projectiles while doing some ECE maybe.
DJC isnt the best idea here because link has plenty of strong/good knock back tilt attacks
Links shield game is great, up b out of shield and/or shield grabbing, so spacing attacks wont really work here, try to just shffl a bair or something and spot dodge/shield right away.
I know I read somewhere that yoshi can nair out of links d-throw combos.


Hope this helped any if at all =S

watch out for his CC to Dmsash , grab and Scrah (Up B lol, seriously a lot of people hits are like wtf when they gte CCed to Srcah)
also Link players loves to do Fair, Nair or Bair to grab when opponent are in low percent.
watch out for juggle, we love to utilt and such. out of a grab we can Utilt, Uair, Dair (to kill) & Scrah (to kill)
in platfrom stage, watch out for uthrow or dthrow to platfrom to scrah. also dthrow or uthrow waveland shield, Link can either Scrah oos or grab once you get up, finish doing your get-up attack or rolling . the best way is to roll towards the stage so even though you take the scrah hit you have a chance of living.
also watch out for Dthrow or uthrow to platform to dair.

against campy Link (i hate camping) pick fox and use his lasserszz .

i try to short hop over projectiles backwards and go in with a bair. you can yoshi bomb links up b if you hit him right on the head. kinda useful to punish up b spammers

its still useful if they miss you with the scrah. you can also sweet spot the edge with down b and come down on their scrah when they try to recover.

I've seen Isai's fox nair link repeatedly in his shield to pressure, because Link's grab is so slow, if you are in close range could you DJC a ton of nairs and chase the rolls? I don't know Yoshi that well and I'm on vicadin =)
