The youngin could spike with down b in melee. Had to be sweetspoted but it was there, fire effect includedOnce a Smasher, always a Smasher is what I always say. I'm cool with the return ofbut just one change I'd make to him is his down aerial. Y'all know how
You mean down A.
He has a metal shield in MM.
Razor/Gilded sword
Didn't even need to listen when I read the title lol
Yeah that's fine, he does kind of preserve Link as he was (left-handed and everything); I just wanted the aesthetic to be updated to Majora's Mask. Specifically the unique Hero's Shield from that game, any of the swords from that game, and the gilded hookshot which is the only hookshot Young Link ever used:
Spongebob's funny even for adults; at least when the show was in its prime. I've been rewatching the series.

I think we've only seen two of his taunts, so who knows?Yeah that's fine, he does kind of preserve Link as he was (left-handed and everything); I just wanted the aesthetic to be updated to Majora's Mask.

To cap it off, it would be great to have a taunt or two showcase some masks (like putting on the Keaton Mask as Hyrule Warriors does it), and use Fierce Deity as the Final Smash. In general, Majora's Mask Young Link is more fleshed out than he was in OoT and since Great Bay is from MM, it really would have been a better fit to update his design. Oh! And the Fire Arrows that Young Link uses were only possible in Majora's Mask as well! Ike and Roy and so many other characters have been updated, so....I was hoping Young Link would get the same treatment but oh well. Maybe next time.
What happens twice, will happen thrice.
Right, the fairy taunt. Does that mean all three have that one?
Regular Link has a new taunt where he holds the sword in front of him
If he retains his greater speed, jump height and fastfalls anything like adult Link, Young Link could easily be the most aggressive Link to date.
Aggressiveness won't mean much if he's still got bad frame data, an over-reliance on projectiles, and mediocre disjoints.
The bomb appears to have low knockback at the Sakurai angle. It's probably safe to assume the Dedede (who, to be honest, is the ultimate combo punching bag) in the footage was at a low percentage. And this was just a standard toss, not an aerial down throw or z-drop which would probably be easier to combo from. If glide tossing is also in the game like I heard...
My guess is he'll get Links old one from 64 (the boss warps from Oot) . Song of Soaring would be ideal though
yeah both of those would make sense
They needed a random excuse for Young Link to be chosen.
The general thematic with Young Link is that he's faster and more nimble than Adult Link so it probably ties in with that.
I believe the idea behind it originally was that Old link supposedly was weighed down by the equipment, and the younger link was more agile, thus being punctuated by the wall jump. It could also have been included to break the cloning a bit more (honestly probably the more likely answer).
I say it's from all of that Chateau Romani he drinks.
