Young Link Gameplay Trailer

[Votega]

Generally, if we believe Zero/M2K/ect, they made the landing lag universally less for most moves on most characters, because it's the closest thing to L-canceling, without being as stupid as L-canceling.

As M2K said, L-Canceling is just done, anytime, ever. There is no reason not to. It's like pot of greed, a nobrainer no strategy. Making all landing lags universal fast, seems good enough.

Yeah, I'm mostly making observations from a Melee player's perspective and I 100% agree with you. Just happy that I get to keep my hands.

How do you guys feel about his scale? I think he took some of Ridley's volume. It's a bummer that they didn't keep the illusion that he is a pint sized hero next to the other Links, I think his arms might be thicker than Champion Link's....

It's from the smash direct.
The point where sakurai says "The first time three links unite!" and the like.

Well Young Link was actually fairly tall in Melee to begin with, being equal to Mario's height. On top of that, Link seems to have got his own height shorten as well in Ultimate (maybe to reference him being quiet short in BOTW)
this is the best size comparison for Link and Y.Link in Melee I could find https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sLJbCbNps1Q/hqdefault.jpg

Personal, think Young Link might have gotten a height boost to fight his role as the in between of Link and Toon Link

I think Toon Link is the one with the multi-hit bombs now, if my eyes do not deceive me.

Are you referring to his character trailer? Idk, sort of seems like it's still single. Then again, I can't watch it at a high enough quality to tell

I could see YL slightly tuned to be more like Melee Adult Link. It would be hard to justify certain changes like weight or character model size. But his hookshot, spin attack, bombs, could all be slightly adjusted to more match what Link was. I feel Adult Link could leave a little bit of void BC of how significant his changes are. Either way I just kind of hope that YL and Toon LInk have some significant differences to keep them both unique.

My only disappointment is that he's still based on Ocarina of Time, rather than Majora's Mask. the Deku Shield and Sword are nostalgic, yes, but I'd much rather see his equipment from Majora's Mask, with a Great Deity Mask final smash to boot.

Since Link is now BotW, Toon Link is Windwaker, Zelda is ALBW, Ganondorf is OoT and Sheik is, at least aesthetically, still very much TP, I feel like giving Young Link some MM flair would round everything out quite nicely.

(Still calling Impa from SS as an Echo Character.)

Probably just wanted to be faithful to his melee design. The one thing that really bugs me is that YL hookshot is from Ocarina of TIme instead of Majora's Mask, Young Link never used the OoT hookshot.

Young Link has 2 taunts were he uses a healing item yet none of them heal him.

Both BotW Link and Young Link look fun, but I don't really like how Toon Link plays

I kinda wish he had the MM Kokiri Sword and Hero's Shield. just because I like the look of it a bit more.
