Link's boomerang in Melee.

The Boomerang is a Special Move used by Link, Young Link, and Toon Link. In Super Smash Bros., it is Link's Standard Special Move, while in Super Smash Bros. Melee onward, it is Link and Young Link's Side Special move. Toon Link uses the Boomerang in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as well.

One can tap the control stick while doing this move to increase its range, and tilt the stick up or down to aim it towards those directions. If you dodge the Boomerang as it comes back to you, it will continue going, arcing in the direction you dodged in. Link can only have one Boomerang on screen at at time; trying the attack again while a boomerang is out only results in Link doing his boomerang throwing animation without actually throwing anything.

Boomerangs have been a staple weapon since the very first The Legend of Zelda game; while weaker than the Bow, it is reusable and capable of pulling items back to Link. The design used in Melee is based on its design in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. However, Adult Link in the game couldn't use the Boomerang; only Young Link could.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Link no longer uses the Boomerang, but rather, the Gale Boomerang, which pulls enemies towards you as it returns to Link. Toon Link still uses the normal boomerang, but with its design from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee (version 1.1), there is a glitch with Link's Boomerang. It causes the Boomerang to get stuck to his arm, causing Link to lose the ability to throw it again.
