Changes from Brawl 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 has 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 KO 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, but has a semi-spike angle that can still yield deadly KOs at high percents.
• 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 25% if fully charged, similar to Young Link's. It can also be moved sideways depending on charge level, being a more powerful trapping move similar to Mario Tornado.
• Aerial Spin Attack gives a single hit of strong 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 down taunt that acts like Young Link's. If Toon Link is not interrupted during the drinking portion, it heals 3%.
• 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 more damage than Link's.
• Down aerial is no longer a stall-then-fall, and does higher damage if it hits late. At the hilt of the sword, it also has powerful flaming hitboxes that meteor smash opponents; these are wider than in Melee, but the center is more powerful.
• 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.
• Old down taunt moved to his side taunt.

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

Trivia

• In Brawl, there is a glitch in which, if Toon Link reverses a Quickdrawn Bow, he may shoot the arrow backwards as usual, but still look the opposite side. This doesn't appear to be removed for Project M.
  • Another bug within Project M that has to do with Toon Link is that if Outset Toon Link picks up a Metal Box or enters a Metal Brawl the game will freeze.
