Toon Link should just be an alternate costume of Y.Link or vice versa in my opinion, that way, everybody is happy right? :
The problem is Young Link and Toon Link have different anatomical structures. Young Link was literally just a smaller Link with sized-down features, while Toon Link has "chibi" features - very short legs and arms and a large face with iconic eyes.
Look
closely at the two - they can't easily be made alternates of each other.
That's not really Toon nor Young Link though - that's some composite of the two. People would be expecting to play as
the Toon Link or
the Young Link - not a mix of the two.
As for being model swaps, it could only work if the models swapping also includes minor chances in hitboxes, frames, etc.
Young Link, in OoT, could use items that Link could not. I'll find them, so bear with me.
I think the slingshot is one of them. Plus, we've got all the cool Majora's Mask gear like especially the masks themselves.
Personally, I have no particular preference towards either Link.

Writing a decent SSE storyline is hard, but if you gave me a month, and a source to an infiniate wealth of Nintendo knowledge, I KNOW I could pull something off better than Sakurai's crew did. (Storyline wise) The key part is not making it sound too serious, or to fanfictiony.
So far, I've done both on my attempts. I'm finding the right middle ground, I think. So this could end up being decent.
Exactly. This is a game featuring Nintendo characters from wildly different universes punching/stabbing/shooting each other in the face - it shouldn't take itself too seriously. Some emotional moments based on the idea that these are everyone's favorite Nintendo characters can be applied, but nothing too dark or unfitting for such a silly concept as Smash Brothers really is should occur.
WELL, this latest approach was sort of this "We've all been in living on the same planet for a while". I mean, they all know of each other. Ganon is this sort of political power who runs all sorts of dark schemes, and is ultimately trying to take over the nintendo galaxy (Space is involved with this story). He has his two right hand men, (Bowser and Ridley) who patrol specific areas. Basically, the Hryule, Mushroom, and any other Nintendo political powers are struggling to keep Ganon in check, and they theorize that he has connections throughout the galaxy, so they plan on sending a few scouts into the upcoming tournament Ganon hosts yearly. And things go bad from there, yadayada.
That's just a little peice of the story. So, IDK how silly K. Rool will be, but HE IS A PLANNED VILLAIN, along with Wolf, Deoxys, Medusa, Wario, Bowser Jr. and MAYBE Black Knight.
I'm going to need more of the specific plot ideas and character and world interactions to be convinced. It just sounds jumbled together right now.[/COLLAPSE]
@Shortie About Adventure Mode: That's fine. I don't mean to be judging it already. Good luck.

If you're doing an adventure mode script, my only suggestion would be to have the Distortion World come into play at some point. Giratina would be a fun boss and is a character who needs some love, and the Distortion World could be the
Gravity Man of the Smash series.
No, I'm not
physically working on an Adventure Mode script. I do always have
lots of ideas in my head when I think of the mode, though, and could write a good story for it if I put the time and effort in it that would also include basic descriptions of each stage and boss fight, and camera and musical cues for each cutscene.
But I lack the motivation and time.
Like I said, I want everyone to come back. I've always wanted to see these rival battles:
