So from what I've seen, Link has gotten a lot of buffs compared to Brawl while Toon Link has relatively stayed the same. I haven't played Tink in online matches yet, but I've played with Link, and he seems to be a pretty strong character. His damage output is high compared to Tink and he is significantly faster than his Brawl counterpart (seemingly on par with Tink). I haven't really seen any nerfs on him, but I've noticed a few on Tink. His bombs still explode upon contact with the ground when Zair-dropped unlike Link's (not a nerf, but worth mentioning), d-throw puts the opponent far out of Bair range, and Dair no longer bounces, changing it from a risky off-stage meteor to a suicide move. Other than that, Tink appears to be the same from Brawl, which in my eyes isn't really a good sign for this MU. Link has too many buffs while Tink doesn't really have any.

This is only scratching the surface since I didn't want to get too deep into it. What do you guys think? Who has the advantage/disadvantage and why?
