What I liked about Link is how versatile he could be. You can play him mad defensive and just spam projectiles from afar, get all up in the opponent's face with his melee attacks, or a combination of the two. Usually I play the in-the-middle style, but one of the things I like doing the most is throwing opponents off by switching my playstyle in the middle of a match, and Link I thought was great for that. I could be playing a relatively conservative Link one minute, then switch into full-on GERM style and kick ***, and upon taking a stock playing keep away with the boomerang and bombs.
Can't wait to do all of this with a much more powerful Link. My friends will be guaranteed to not want me to play him anymore lol
