Smash Journeyman
Since Toon Link release there has been two pictures posted of his up+B (not entirely sure if the first pick is just an aerial attack or his up+B) hitting foes. Both these images contains, what appears to be ice- particles/shards, shattering around the foes. This most likely indicates that the foes where frozen when getting hit. The pictures in question can be found here:
First picture to be shown, included in Toon Links announcement picture pack. (Aerial or up+B attack?)
Second picture. Posted today on miiverse and smash bros website as "pic of the day".
There are some possibilitys that I have considered:
Option A): Toon Link now has ice arrows! (most likely freezing opponents or "icing them" wich might apply a state of slow, sluggish movement and/or heaviness)
Option B): Toon Links side+B has not yet been shown. Ice boomerang? Boomerang replaced with some ice magic or gadget? (Is there anything fitting in any of Toon Links games?)
Option C): Something else has aplied the "frozen" state to the enemies. (Most likely an Item, Stage Hassard or Ice Climbers. Both pictures only show three characters so a fourth one with freezing properties could be on the field).
Option D): Toon Links up+B just has a new look and these are just visual effects. *
Option E): His up+B has different properties, something to do with ice. (nothing from the zelda series spring to mind regarding this. Has there ever appeared some form of ice sword? *
* = Both theory D & E could be irrelevant if, what we see in the first picture, is simply an aerial A-attack.

So my fellow conspirators, what do you think?
Edit: Okey. I found this picture in the Link album. So this is most likely just a new visual effect for the up+B. Same ice resembling effect again. This time with Link. That leaves us with the same factors in every picutre containing the "ice shards". A Link (toon or regular) performing an up+B move. Sadly, it looks like it is just a new visual effect for both Links up+B specials. Well, that was an anti climax. Stupid picture.
