The biggest change with the new BotW Link is certainly his new remote bomb. A lot of people see it as a minor difference but some others as a game changer. If you want to discuss about it, you're in the right thread. Some of the info might be a bit outdated, most of it was gathered before release.

BOMB RECOVERY/BOMB JUMP:
Could we see more pro players main Link in Ultimate?

BOMB DATA:
Here's some ways to put those bombs to good use:- Pull takes 39 frames.
- Detonation takes 11 frames.
- Throw takes 23 frames.
- Bombs have 60~ HP.
- Bombs deal 1% on hit, 7% on detonation (pretty much the same as Smash4)
- The blast radius is obviously bigger but not as big as the explosion animation suggests.
- Knockback is significantly increased.
- Despite being remotely detonated, the bombs have a 30 sec. fuse (compared to the original 7 sec.)
- Bombs will instantly explode if they come in contact with any fire based moves
BOMB RECOVERY/BOMB JUMP:
EDGEGUARDING:-By Z-dropping and instantly detonate the bomb Link can 'blast' himself towards the stage
(similar mechanic to C4 recovery with Snake but with a horizontal angle, totally different from the old bomb recovery mechanics)
- It has been confirmed through trainning mode that 'Link can now recover infinitely with bombs'

What do you guys think, is it that big of a change ?Example:
Could we see more pro players main Link in Ultimate?
