[[File:S4 LinkDTilt update history.gif|thumb|270px|Hitbox visualization showing the changes to Link's down tilt hitboxes over time.]]

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4}} [[1.0.6]]'''
*{{buff|The main hitbox now always launches opponents in the direction Link is facing (Angle flipper: 0 → 3), making it a more consistent combo starter.}}
*{{change|All hitboxes are now static, rather than being attached to Link's sword/body.}}
*{{change|The main hitbox now uses one extended hitbox which covers Link's sword rather than two standard hitboxes.}}
*{{change|The meteor hitbox is positioned higher, it can no longer hit grounded opponents and it now takes priority over the main hitbox.}}
*{{nerf|Main hitbox knockback scaling (50 → 30), hindering its KO potential.}}
**{{buff|However, this also improves its combo potential at lower percents.}}
*{{nerf|The meteor smash hitbox is significantly smaller (4u → 1.5u) and the meteor smash hitbox inside of Link has been removed, giving the move less range inside of Link.}} 
*{{nerf|The meteor smash hitbox has dramatically reduced knockback (90 (base), 50 (scaling) → 0/62), making it immensely weaker.}}

'''{{GameIcon|ssb4}} [[1.0.8]]'''
*{{buff|Startup lag (frame 13 → 11) and total duration (FAF 32 → 30).}}
*{{buff|Hitboxes Z offsets (12.8 (meteor)/15.4 (main) → 14.1/16.6), improving the move's range.}}
*{{nerf|Damage (12% → 11%).}}
**{{buff|However, its knockback values were not compensated, improving its combo potential.}}
