'''Toon Link''' is one of the many playable characters in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. His moveset is heavily altered from ''[[Brawl]]'', mixing in elements from both {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s and ''Smash 64'' {{SSB|Link}}'s movesets. | '''Toon Link''' is one of the many playable characters in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''.

Toon Link ranks 21st out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], at the midst of the B tier.

Thus, as in ''Brawl'', Toon Link must rely on his projectiles to soften up opponents before using his fast movement and attacking speed to overwhelm them. While his camping power allows him to make mistakes when foes are at range, he must finish foes in close combat quickly and accurately, especially when he is edgeguarding, as his own predictable recovery and light weight make it easy for foes to reverse the match and KO him. | Thus, as in ''Brawl'', Toon Link must rely on his projectiles to soften up opponents before using his fast movement and attacking speed to overwhelm them.

==Changes from ''Brawl'' to PM== | ==Changes from ''Brawl'' to PM== | ||
Toon Link has seen a mix of buffs and nerfs from the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M''. He has been significantly reworked with some of his moves being based on {{SSB|Link}} although he was mainly changed to more closely resemble {{SSBM|Young Link}}. Toon Link overall has greater KO potential and his specials were re-purposed to give him greater stage control. He also has greater combo potential as the removal of [[hitstun canceling]], the universally increased falling speeds and the introduction of L-canceling have given him much more potent juggling. | Toon Link has seen a mix of buffs and nerfs from the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M''.

The hilt of the sword has a powerful hitbox that applies a strong [[magic]] effect onto the opponent while [[spike|spiking]] them, while the other hitboxes have very powerful vertical knockback. If an opponent or shield is hit, the player will 'bounce' off with the sword and potentially hit multiple times, dealing lower damage and fixed, light knockback. | ||

When used on the ground, it is a very damaging multi-hit move, and in the air it is a powerful finisher which decreases in damage over time, similarly to a [[sex kick]]. The move can be charged on the ground, increasing damage and knockback as well as increasing the distance that Toon Link can move sideways during the move. This move is an amazing finisher when used in the air, netting KOs as early as 80% on some characters, and is an effective [[Out of shield|out-of-shield]] option on the ground. | ||
