Should Link have some move changes next update?

I just brought up in the PM 3.5 Arts and alts thread my ideas for move changes for Link for next PM update, as an extension to the idea of animation changes, and since Ganondorf had his time in the spotlight with the hover and reflect cape this most recent update, I figured Link should take it for the next with some classic moves of his own.
and I was wondering if competitive Link players would pick apart my move change ideas.

The main moves I wanted to see changed for next update were Dash attack, jab combo, Nair, Bair, and an update for the Bow that allows Link to move/jump while charging the Bow..

Basically, all these would be homages to moves Link uses in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, if you played them, you can probably guess which ones I'm talking about.

But I wanna know what changes are needed for Link, not what are wanted by me. If you have some ideas, please share!

No, Link doesn't need to move while charging his bow. You can just Short Hop - Bow if you need extra mobility.

One of the only things I want to see changed on Link is that he's too easy to CC.

You can CC DOWN SMASH.

This is still a problem.

I just thought of this a while ago. What if for his Side taunt that makes him put his weapons away, there could be a frame-perfect instance where you could use the Mortal Draw hidden skill from Twilight Princess, but only once? Too OP?

Not a specific move change, but...The two-frame DACUS window seems like a taller hurdle. Three-frame DACUS is more reasonable especially considering the fact not many people use it.

I think there should be a peach-esque chance that link gets a bob-omb attached to his arrows. (Peach has a 1 in 300 chance...?) and turning a taunt into a frame perfect mortal draw is an awesome idea. OHKO. But to keep it from being OP it should be extremely punishable
