For sure man, Link is all about skill, but really you can be good with any characters that have exploited weaknesses like Link himself, Jiggly, Bowser and the low tier characters. Maybe there is a great player out there who hasn't surfaced yet but will show his/her face in time. But back on track, Link is picked up slowly and not a good character for beginners but if someone decides to main one character to their interest regardless of having many flaws, mad respects still. You don't play to win or pick a character thats ranked up there, well maybe if you are competitive, but if you really like one character, stick with him/her. I feel really discouraged to see how some players say Link will never make it to the top, or win tournaments but I won't let that stop me from maining Link. It's his play style and character conception that really appeals to me. Link is all about adapting to his surroundings and opponents. I think with the ability to adapt, a player who knows the concept of this can win even with a low placed tier character. Link is really that good, if you give him time and dedication like any character. Strategy and technique dominates brute strength and that is what Link specializes in, he is a strategist who is a force to be reckoned with.
