'''Izaw''' (also known as '''Izaw91''') is a Swedish smasher famous for playing Link. He is noted for playing a selection of characters at a competent level. His claim to fame was his YouTube account where he would post several matches and "combo videos" most starring Link, but also with [[Kirby]], [[Falco]], [[Cloud]], and [[Sheik]]. His  uploaded content refers to several technical skills, most notably [[frame cancel]]ing and perfect pivoting. Izaw has played Melee but has gained worldwide fame from playing Brawl. He also competed in a European "Super Lion Tournament" where he was able to play against top European players such as Europe's best {{SSBB|Snake}} {{sm|Calzorz}} and Europe's best {{SSBB|Marth}} {{sm|Mr. R}}.
'''Izaw''', formerly known as '''Izaw91''', is an ''[[SSB4]]'' and ''[[SSBU]]'' [[Link]] player from Sweden, who has also lived and competed in Canada. While a prominent figurehead in the Link community, he is more notable for his [[YouTube]] content, primarily his ''Art of...'' series, a tutorial series wherein he delves into the competitive and technical aspects of characters.


Izaw is a part of a worldwide "Link Community" and compiled a "combo" video entitled "Believe the Legend" where he along with other Link players demonstrate their skill.
On August 28th, 2016, Izaw was signed by [[Beefy Smash Doods]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://beefysmashdoods.com/article_izaw.html|title=Izaw joins the BSD Smash4 Team!}}</ref> On April 13th, 2018, Izaw, along with fellow smashers {{Sm|Elegant}}, {{Sm|Aarvark}}, and {{Sm|quiK}}, parted ways with Beefy Smash Doods.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/BeefySmashDoods/status/984813051059818497|title=Beefy Smash Doods parts ways with Elegant, Aarvark, quiK, and Izaw}}</ref>
