Changes from Melee to PM

Most of Toon Link's attacks have been altered to be a mix between those of Young Link and Smash 64 Link, as well as getting some of his own changes on attacks and aesthetics. These include:

• Forward tilt is slightly faster.
• Dash attack is now a fast stab forward akin to Link's in Smash 64, but with better initial dashing speed. It deals 10% damage with a semi-spike trajectory, being better at KOing and approaching than his old dash attack.
• Forward smash has better range and covers a larger area above Toon Link.
• Up smash is now a two-slice move, with a strong initial hit that can kill the opponent that is quickly followed by a second cut that is better for comboing that also provides him additional coverage and damages shields.
• Down smash is no longer a linking attack, instead acting like a weaker version of Link's that sets up combos at low percentages.
• Arrows from Hero's Bow are set on fire, like Young Link's. After shot, they also stick in the ground for a few seconds to damage enemies, dealing 3% with no knockback.
• Boomerang has a better angle.
• Grounded Spin Attack is better at damaging, possesing more hits that deal up to 12% (if uncharged), similar to Young Link's.
• Aerial Spin Attack gives a single hit of 16% damage, serving as a powerful KO move.
• Bombs hit up to four times each, dealing up to 10% damage.
• Improved tether recovery properties make his zair more effective for recovery.
• New side taunt that acts like Young Link's. If Toon Link is not interrupted during the drinking portion, it also heals 5%.
• Neutral air no longer covers Toon Link's back.
• Down air is harder to meteor with.
• New forward smash has slower start-up.
• Forward and down smashes no longer have hits that link one into another, dealing less damage.
• Aerial Spin Attack gives less distance.
• Third hit of jab is now an upwards slice.
• Down tilt is now a crouching stab reminiscent of the shield-stab from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and can meteor if a character is hit with the tip of the sword. It deals 8% damage and displays a magic effect at the tip.
• Neutral aerial changed to a sex kick like that of Link. It behaves much like Young Link's, dealing 12% damage (if sweetspotted).
• Down aerial is no longer a stall-then-fall, and does higher damage if it hits late (17% compared to 14%). At the hilt of the sword, it also has powerful flaming hitboxes that meteor smash opponents; one at the center of the hilt that does 22%, and others at the sides that deal 16%.
• Forward smash changed to a jumping slash downwards, similar to that of Link in Smash 64. It deals up to 21% damage if fully charged, and is a powerful launcher, but is weaker at the tip of the sword.

In terms of cosmetics, Toon Link now has an alternate costume based on his outset clothing from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
