Link has been heavily buffed from Melee to Project M.

• Link's dashing speed has been sped up a little bit.
• Most of Link's normal attacks have slight speed and power increases. For example, Link's dash attack and down smash both have earlier IASA frames so that they can be acted out of sooner and are generally safer to use on shielding opponents.
• Link's forward tilt has been sped up to match Young Link's version, making it more useful than before.
• The up smash has been sped up as well so that the three slashes can link together better.
• The aerial version of Spin Attack gains more horizontal momentum than in Melee. The attack also can no longer be charged when on the ground, instead having its Melee power.
• Link can now bomb jump consistently for recovery. By inputting a glide toss while airborne, Link can toss the bomb up the right distance to Spin Attack into it, allowing Link to Spin Attack again.
• Gale Boomerang replaced with a regular Boomerang, designed with a light-blue trail to feel like its Smash 64 incarnation. Like in Melee, it is stronger if thrown close to opponents. It also has a better angle. Deals damage from 13% to 7%, with the comeback dealing 5%.
• Link's Hero's Bow has had its charge speed increased by 33%, its knockback increased, and its knockback angle changed to send at a much more horizontal angle, but it retains its Brawl trajectory.

In terms of aesthetics, Link now has an alternate costume that is based off of his appearance in earlier titles, such as Melee and Ocarina of Time.
