Toon Link (トゥーンリンク, Toon Link) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was officially confirmed as playable alongside his predecessor Young Link and the rest of the veterans on June 12th, 2018. As in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he is unlockable, instead of being available from the start. Toon Link is classified as Fighter #43.

As in Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4, Sachi Matsumoto's portrayal of Toon Link from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was repurposed for Ultimate.

Toon Link is ranked 41st out of 82 on the current tier list, placing him in the middle of the B+ tier, making him the highest ranked of the three Links and also the highest Zelda representative. This is a moderate drop from his 23rd out of 54 placement in SSB4 and is technically his worst placement in the series. Toon Link's game plan is relatively a middle ground between Young Link's strong projectile and combo game and Link's strong kill power or Bomb usage. Toon Link has a pretty strong zoning game thanks to his numerous projectiles in Bomb and Boomerang, and his good mobility gives him good approach options. The former allows him to set up combos or confirm into KOs at higher percents, while the latter is a good combo starter or a way for opponents to approach him in neutral. Toon Link is also the fastest of the three Links, allowing him to catch up or run away from his opponents more reliably. His frame 2 air dodge and floatiness also allow him to escape from more combos, too.

However, Toon Link suffers from some weaknesses, which are similarly shared by the other Links. His floaty physics makes him take a while to land back on the ground, making him prone to juggling. He also has a lower range than most other swordfighters, who can outrange and pressure better than he can, which can result in him getting outranged. His recovery is also relatively exploitable, as it travels in a predictable path, though it can be mixed up with Bomb Jump. Plus, his dependence on projectiles for setups can result in him being very vulnerable to pressure when cornered.

Overall, Toon Link is a character with a simple, effective, and consistent game plan that works when he gets momentum or wins neutral interactions. Toon Link has seen some strong results and representation mostly in Japan, through players, such as Lv.1 and Sigma, who have had strong placements at majors.

How to unlock

Complete one of the following:

• Play VS. matches, with Toon Link being the 44th character to be unlocked.
• Clear Classic Mode with Link or any character in his unlock tree, being the last character unlocked after Richter.
• Have Toon Link join the player's party in World of Light.

With the exception of the third method, Toon Link must then be defeated on Pirate Ship. In World of Light, he is fought on Wuhu Island.

Attributes

This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it. The editor who added this tag elaborates: This section needs an in-depth explanation of Toon Link's strengths and weaknesses.

Toon Link is a middleweight, yet boasts above-average dashing speed and air acceleration, as well as the ability to wall jump. However, his air speed is average, and his falling and fast falling speeds are both slow, while his gravity is low. Although they differ on the majority of their attributes, Toon Link and Link both have above-average walking speeds. Like Link, he also wields his respective version of the Master Sword and possesses a shield. The Master Sword grants Toon Link disjointed range, while the Hero's Shield blocks opposing projectiles if he is standing still or walking. Overall, Toon Link's attributes render him as a fairly quick, yet fairly floaty character.

As a zoner, Toon Link possesses many projectiles. His Hero's Bow, Boomerang, and Bomb enable him to not only force approaches, but also camp effectively. His Hero's Bow and Boomerang in particular are very strong in the neutral game, both being b-reversable and relatively quick. The Hero's Bow is extremely quick and lasts for a long time, at the expense of being slightly slower, but also traveling further, even when uncharged. The Boomerang is slightly less quick than the bow, but can be angled and has very minimal endlag. His Bomb is also very good in neutral, due to its status as an item and its large explosion hitbox. Because it is an item, it can be thrown in many directions like a boomerang.

In addition to these strengths, Boomerang and Bomb boast combo potential, with the latter being his most varied and useful combo starter. Thanks to its explosion no longer damaging Toon Link upon contact with an opponent, Bomb now grants him several follow-ups at varying percentages. With precise usage, it can be followed by his up smash or forward aerial, even at high percentages, both of which are among his most viable KOing options, or down aerial for extremely early KOs. Bomb's combo potential is further supplemented by jump-canceling and its status as an item, with the latter trait ensuring that its combo potential is never susceptible to rage or stale-move negation. Although it is not as versatile in comparison, Boomerang is nevertheless useful for Toon Link's combo game, as it can combo into his up tilt, grab, and various other moves depending on its positioning.

Although Toon Link's combo game largely revolves around Bomb, he also possesses non-projectile combo starters. Up tilt is the most effective of these: it can combo into itself, up smash, and Spin Attack at low percentages; a short hopped neutral aerial, short hopped back aerial, and short hopped Spin Attack at low to medium percentages; and forward aerial and up aerial at medium to high percentages, which are reliable for kills. Aside from up tilt, grab aerial can be used as a long-ranged set-up, similarly to Bomb, regardless of the opponent's damage, while neutral attack can be jab canceled reliably.

However, Toon Link has some weaknesses. His grab game is overall very polarized: Hookshot grants him long-lasting grabs that can grab airborne opponents, and a grab aerial and tether recovery that are both very useful, yet his grabs have considerable start-up and ending lag (albeit much less so than in previous installments). By extension, Toon Link's back throw is one of his most viable KO options due to being one of the strongest back throws in the game, while his forward throw is decent for setting up edgeguards and creating space. Conversely, Toon Link's down throw lacks combo potential, which makes it drastically inferior to Link and Young Link's versions. It can almost combo into back aerial. Although Toon Link's up throw is a situational KO option on platforms like Link and Young Link's versions, his back throw utterly outclasses it in this role. As a result, Toon Link's up and down throws are used primarily for setting up aerial pressure, such as by launching an opponent into the trajectory of a previously thrown Boomerang or Bomb.

Toon Link's floatiness makes him particularly susceptible to strong vertical attacks and renders his recovery quite predictable despite its improvements. Unlike other floaty characters, however, Toon Link cannot use his floatiness to perform long aerial combos because of his aerials' considerable ending lag. Toon Link's disjointed range is also somewhat offset by his short size, while the faster pace of Ultimate makes his defensive, projectile-based game plan less effective than it was in previous installments.

Overall, Toon Link is considered a very balanced and fast fighter with a plethora of attack options via his projectiles, tether grab/recovery, and decent frame data. The combination of low ending lag on his forward and back aerials with his slow fall speed allows Toon Link to dominate in the air with combos, while his moderately fast yet fairly useful tilt attacks and reasonably strong smash attacks allow for relatively easy KOs. While his middling weight and slow falling speed make him easier to combo and KO, it is generally agreed that Toon Link's strengths outweigh his weaknesses by a fair margin.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Toon Link has received a notable mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from SSB4 to Ultimate. Many of his standard attacks have been improved, but the general pace of Ultimate, combined with the worsening of his camping tools, has annulled his improvements to an extent. As a result, Toon Link has been slightly nerfed overall.

Several of Toon Link's attacks, which he uses the Master Sword, have been notably buffed, alleviating one of his weaker points from SSB4. Particularly, Toon Link now boasts a vastly buffed ground game: neutral attack's first two hits can now lock, and the third hit now has the tech-chasing ability his adult counterpart has. Forward tilt has less ending lag, all hitboxes send opponents in front of him, and its hitboxes can now hit behind Toon Link. The changes to the Sakurai angle allow down tilt to launch aerial opponents lower, improving its tech chasing potential. Dash attack is much faster, has more range and less endlag, and the sweetspots out-prioritize the sourspot, turning it into a respectable combo starter at low percentages. Up smash is more consistent on landing the sweetspot, whereas down smash now has consistent KO potential on both sides of the move instead of pulling opponents into a second hit.

Toon Link's air game, while seeing less buffs, has also become more useful; neutral aerial has more range, forward aerial can once again autocancel if performed in a short hop, back aerial is faster and has regained some of its combo potential, and up aerial is notably much safer to use due to its altered animation. Finally, Toon Link's Spin Attack has received various improvements, with the grounded version now being one of the best out-of-shield options in the game due to it being much faster and gaining KO potential. In contrast, the aerial version's power and safety have both improved, and it will now always send opponents in front of Toon Link.

However, Toon Link also received some noticeable nerfs. One of his biggest nerfs was to his forward smash; the move no longer has a second hit, while its single hit instead is slightly slower, deals less aggregate damage, possesses no mixup or spacing potential, and has a debatably worse hitbox that fails to strike short opponents or ones hanging on an edge. His other major nerf was to his Bombs, which no longer beat weak projectiles and instead bounce off them; this massively worsens their potential in trade and projectile situations. Other nerfs to his camping ability include his item throws having more ending lag, which worsens his combo game via his Bombs; and his grab aerial now bouncing off of the first projectile or hurtbox it makes contact with, instead of piercing through. Aside from forward smash, a few of his sword-based moves also received some nerfs. Up tilt has slightly inferior combo potential at high percentages due to the changes to knockback, up smash has fewer active frames, and back aerial's already minimal KO potential has been almost totally removed in favor of restoring its combo potential.

The universal changes to gameplay mechanics are overall mixed for Toon Link. The reduced landing lag makes it easier for him to combo and safer to land if his aerials hit. The ability to use any attack out of a run also allows Toon Link more access to his now respectable grounded game. On the other hand, while the changes to shieldstun make his grounded moveset much safer, it also means shielding opponents are now more likely to punish mispaced aerials as easily. The nerfs to shield grabbing alleviate the negative changes from shield stun, but combined with other characters also having reduced landing lag, and the changes to shield stun, this notably worsens his grab game, despite his grabs' much lower ending lag. Finally, the universal increase to mobility further contributes to Toon Link's grounded game (due to his faster walking and dashing speeds) and allows him to now combo out of his Hero's Bow when uncharged, but also allows more mobile opponents to close in on the distance to him and/or stay away from him easier.

Overall, Toon Link has more utility in his sword-based attacks, but has to contend with worsened camping tools and the faster pace of Ultimate, which makes his defensive, projectile-based game less effective compared to previous titles. This noticeably gives him a more movement and pressure-based playstyle that utilizes his sword attacks more. Combined with various buffs other veterans have received, Toon Link performs slightly worse in Ultimate than in SSB4.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from Smash 4, Toon Link's model features a more subdued color scheme. His clothing now features simple woven and stitched detailing, similar to his design in Brawl, though his hair remains clay-like. Visually, it better resembles his model in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD.
• Some of the textures of Toon Link's face have been modified: his brow is more furrowed, the outline in his eyes aren’t fully connected similar to the official artworks from the The Wind Waker and his mouth is now represented by a black dash, making it look less organic. Overall, he appears more cartoonish as a result.
• Toon Link's hair is now affected by gravity and wind. His hat also now has more physics-based movement than before.
• Like many other returning characters, Toon Link is more expressive. He is now more consistently angry and serious to match the other Links. In general, he now has a wide variety of expressions in his animations.
• Several of Toon Link's animations have been altered to further distinguish him from the other Links.
  • While jumping, he raises his shield more.
  • During his falling animation, he spreads his legs apart. His helpless animation is also different, now leaning more forward as he falls. However, he reuses his falling animations from Smash 4 when moving forward or backward while falling.
  • His double jump animation is now an upward flip similar to Roy and Ganondorf.
• Toon Link's sword attacks now use a set of new, cartoonish slash sound effects when they land.
• Toon Link's taunts have all been modified:
  • His up taunt now faces the screen regardless of the direction he is facing.
  • His side taunt has a more surprised expression and pose. The fairy also now disappears in a Wind Waker style puff of smoke.
  • His down taunt now has him visibly sweating. Like his up taunt, it now faces the screen regardless of the direction he's facing.
• Toon Link's victory pose where he conducts with the Wind Waker has been modified to be more in line with his official art from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and its HD version.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Toon Link's jumpsquat animation takes three frames to complete (down from 5).
• Toon Link is slightly lighter (93 → 91), now being the same weight as Palutena. This slightly hinders his endurance.
• Toon Link walks slightly faster (1.2265 → 1.288).
• Toon Link dashes faster (1.7325 → 1.906).
• Toon Link's air speed has been increased (0.94 → 1.05).
• Toon Link's falling speed has been increased (1.28 → 1.38).
  • His fast fall speed has also been increased (2.048 → 2.208), making him harder to juggle.
• Due to his higher falling speed, Toon Link's air time is shorter (SH timing: 41 → 40), (FH timing: 63 → 56).
• Toon Link's sidestep has increased startup on his invincibility (2-15 → 3-16), but less ending lag (25 → 20), now being tied for the third fastest.
• Toon Link's back roll has slightly increased invincibility (4-14 → 4-15), but much more ending lag (27 frames → 34).
• Toon Link's forward roll has slightly longer duration (FAF 27 → 29).
• Toon Link can now Z-drop items such as his Bombs without releasing the Hookshot. This vastly improves its versatility and utility as a tactic, mixup, combo and disadvantage tool. This also sees the return of the Invincibomb technique.
  • This change no longer allows Toon Link to Z-drop and use hookshot at the same time.
• The mechanical change to Tethers removes Toon Link's ability to cancel his airdodge into his hookshot, removing an option from his kit and vastly nerfing his recovery mixup potential.
  • Toon Link is still able to Tether to ledge while holding a bomb, by simply pressing Grab without holding a direction.

Ground attacks

• Neutral attack:
  • Toon Link's first and second neutral attack have reworked launch angles and knockback, allowing them to lock opponents, but hindering their jab cancel ability at high percents.
  • Neutral attack's first hit (3.5u/4.2/3.8u → 1.8u/1.8u/1.8u/1.8u) and second hit (3.5u/4.2u/4u → 2.5u/3.2u/3.2u/3.2u) have had their three larger hitboxes replaced with four smaller ones.
  • Neutral attack's first hit has faster startup (frame 6 → 5).
    • Neutral attack's first hit does slightly less damage (3% → 2%).
  • The third hit now uses two extended hitboxes that are slightly larger (4.2u/4.2u/3u → 4.5u/3.5u).
  • Neutral attack's third hit has fewer active frames (frame 6-10 → 6-7).
  • Neutral attack's third hit deals more base knockback but less knockback scaling (55 base/100 scaling → 75/70, 70/70), and sends opponents at a semi-spike angle (48° → 30°), granting it tech chase setups. Overall, it KOs slightly earlier, especially near the ledge.
  • Toon Link strikes a pose at the end of his third neutral attack.
• Forward tilt:
  • Forward tilt has an altered animation. The hitboxes start farther behind Toon Link, but do not hit as high.
  • Forward tilt's farthest hitbox has a fixed angle on frame 9 (361° → 38°).
  • Forward tilt has more base knockback, but less knockback scaling (25 base/102 scaling → 45/83), overall hindering its KO potential.
    • However, this makes it safe on hit at all percents.
  • Forward tilt has less ending lag (FAF 34 → 30).
• Down tilt:
  • Down tilt has an altered animation where Toon Link swings his arm back more quickly, reducing his hurtbox extension. Since hitbox interpolation still retains the move's hit detection from frame 9, it effectively has a higher disjoint and added range in the z-axis on frame 10.
• Dash attack:
  • Dash attack has less startup (frame 9 → 7) and ending lag (FAF 40 → 29), making it much more useful and safer in landing trap situations.
  • Dash attack's hitboxes are larger (3.5u/4u/3u → 4.2u/4u/3.5u).
  • Both sweetspot hitboxes now have priority over the sourspot.
• Forward smash:
  • Toon Link has a new forward smash: a single upward swing. It resembles the final hit of Toon Link's sword animation when moving from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
  • Toon Link is now silent when performing the move.
  • Due to the removal of the first swing, its maximum damage is lower (21% → 14%), and it has lost its mix-up potential.
  • Forward smash has slightly more startup (15 frames → 16).
  • Forward smash's new animation has Toon Link swipe upwards and lunge farther; while the hitboxes are smaller, they are attached to his arm and sword instead of being static and directly front of him. Overall, it has improved vertical range.
    • The new animation also makes hitting grounded opponents more inconsistent, and no longer able to hit opponents hanging at the ledge.
  • Its launching knockback was compensated for the damage value changes (25/32 base / 130 scaling → 25/20 / 110).
  • Compared to the old second hit, it has more startup (12 frames → 16) but less cooldown (FAF 50 → 49), which with its higher damage makes it less unsafe on shield.
• Up smash:
  • Up smash has a slightly altered animation. Toon Link slightly turns after leaping.
  • Due to the altered animation, the sourspot hitbox is harder to land, improving the move's KO potential.
  • Up smash has fewer active frames (frame 11-17 → 11-15).
• Down smash:
  • Down smash has an altered animation.
  • Down smash has been reworked. Instead of the front hit leading grounded opponents into the back hit while launching aerial opponents weakly upward, the front and back hits are now separate launching hits, with no differences between grounded and aerial opponents.
    • This improves the consistency of the move and drastically improves its KO power on aerial opponents.
    • It has slightly lower maximum damage when hitting grounded opponents from the front (13% → 12%).
  • Down smash has altered hitboxes. Overall, the front hit's range is slightly increased and better at hitting ledge, while the back hit's is slightly decreased and worse at hitting ledge.
  • Down smash's knockback was not fully compensated for the damage value changes, overall dealing much more knockback. The launch angles are also lower (50° → 48°/42°), improving its KO potential off the side blast zones.
  • The back hit no longer has a sourspot.
  • The back hit uses the slash effect instead of the normal effect.
  • Down smash has less ending lag (FAF 50 → 47).

Aerial attacks

• All aerials have less landing lag (12 frames → 7 (neutral), 18 → 11 (forward), 17 → 8 (back), 21 → 13 (up), 40 → 23 (down)).
• Neutral aerial:
  • Both of neutral aerial's hits have larger hitboxes (3u/3.6u/4u/2.5u → 4u/4.5u/4.5u/2.5u)
• Forward aerial:
  • Forward aerial auto-cancels significantly earlier (frame 51 → 39), matching its interruptibility. This also allows it to auto-cancel out of a short hop like in Brawl.
  • Forward aerial's large hitbox has been replaced with three smaller ones (7.5u → 5u/5u/4u) that are attached to his arm and sword.
    • These new hitboxes follow the sword hitbox more closely, allowing forward aerial to hit opponents above Toon Link on frame 15.
• Back aerial:
  • Back aerial has less startup (frame 7 → 6).
  • Back aerial has far less ending lag (FAF 46 → 36), allowing Toon Link to double jump out of a short hop with it once again.
  • Back aerial auto-cancels earlier (frame 38 → 34).
  • Back aerial deals less damage (11% → 8%) without full compensation for its base knockback (18 → 24), losing its already poor KO potential.
    • Back aerial's lowered knockback and less ending lag has vastly improved its combo and setup potential.
• Up aerial:
  • Up aerial has an altered animation where Toon Link ducks more. This lowers his hurtbox and allows him to hit opponents beneath him more effectively, similar to Link's up aerial.
• Down aerial:
  • Down aerial's hitboxes are slightly smaller (5.6u (clean)/5.3u (late) → 5.5u/5u) and higher up (Y offset: -3 → -1.1), reducing its range.
• Grab aerial:
  • Grab aerial has less ending lag (FAF 75 → 74).
  • Grab aerial can only hit one opponent or projectile. Once it collides with something, it bounces off and the hitbox is disabled.

Throws and other attacks

• All grabs have less ending lag (FAF 62 → 53 (standing), 72 → 61 (dash), 72 → 56 (pivot)).
• Toon Link has an altered down throw animation where he jumps much higher in the air before tackling his opponent. This helps him avoid projectiles close to the ground (especially his own bombs), but opens him to projectiles in the air.
• Up throw's collateral has a much shorter duration (26-30 → 27), hindering its range.
• Back throw has less knockback growth (120 → 110), reducing its KO potential.
• Toon Link now faces the opposite direction when using down throw.
• All of Toon Link's item tosses have more ending lag, reducing the potency of his item throws and followups (20 → 24 (forward/back), 20 → 23 (up), 19 → 20 (down)).)

Special moves

• Hero's Bow:
  • Arrows can no longer be held indefinitely upon reaching full charge, now automatically firing if held for more than three seconds.
• Boomerang:
  • Boomerang appears to have a new model, featuring a more simplistic design.
  • A Boomerang performed with a smash input has increased damage and slightly increased knockback compared to a Tilt input (8% (near)/5% (mid) → 9.6%/6%).
  • Boomerang now has a clanking animation where it bounces quickly before falling and disappearing.
    • Boomerang is unavailable during this clanking animation, reducing Boomerang's utility in trade situations.
  • Boomerang has less duration on the returning hitbox. This reduces the potential of the returning boomerang, but the Boomerang now reappears in Toon Link's hands more quickly.
  • Boomerang has different physics when bouncing against surfaces in certain situations, most notably on return, altering the utility of returning boomerang.
• Spin Attack:
  • Spin Attack's sword trails are blue, now matching how they were in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. In addition, the grounded version's animation was altered a bit. Toon Link no longer holds the sword perfectly parallel to the ground while he spins.
  • Grounded Spin Attack has less startup lag (frame 9 → 6) and its duration was compensated (FAF 81 → 78), increasing its utility and safety.
  • Grounded Spin Attack's final hit has significantly increased knockback scaling (141 → 180) and launches at a lower angle (55° → 48°), granting it KO potential.
  • Grounded Spin Attack always knocks opponents in the direction Toon Link is facing, giving Toon Link the ability to control where his opponent is sent.
  • Aerial Spin Attack now has multiple hitboxes behind Toon Link, improving its safety and utility, and also increasing damage output on large targets caught in the attack.
  • Aerial Spin Attack now allows Toon Link to retain much more horizontal drift after the final hitbox, improving its spacing and recovery potential.
  • Aerial Spin Attack no longer takes away Toon Link's midair jump if he is interrupted before recovering, granting him more recovery mixups.
  • Toon Link strikes a slightly different pose during the final hit of Aerial Spin Attack, closely matching Link's new pose during his Aerial Spin Attack as well.
• Bomb:
  • Toon Link now pulls out the Bomb slightly quicker (FAF 40 → 37).
  • Bomb no longer does differing damage based on direct contact (4%) or the explosion (5%-8%). Both damage values have been homogenized, and the only factor to the bombs damage is the velocity before impact.
    • Bombs overall do less damage (4%-8% → 4.2%-6.5%). However, the lower damage betters bomb combo potential.
  • Bombs launch at a higher angle (70° → 75°), and have altered knockback (42 (base)/70 (scaling) → 40/80).
  • Bombs no longer beat weak projectiles, instead bouncing at the point of contact and falling to the ground. This massively reduces the potency of bombs in trade situations.
  • Bombs now always explode against fire-based attacks, regardless of how much damage the move does. While this removes their potential to absorb fire-based projectiles, it also allows Toon Link to force an opponent to blow up a bomb in his favor.
• Triforce Slash:
  • Triforce Slash has had its activation range massively increased, allowing Toon Link to chase down targets across Final Destination, like Link's iteration from Brawl and Smash 4.

Update history

Toon Link received a mix of buffs, a single nerf, and glitch fixes via game updates, but was buffed slightly overall.

Starting with update 2.0.0, Toon Link's forward aerial can now auto-cancel out of a short hop, greatly buffing the move's utility and offense. He also can now grab the ledge earlier after using his back aerial. Update 3.0.0 nerfed Boomerang's shield damage as a part of a universal nerf to projectiles. Update 3.1.0 made neutral attack connect better, and Toon Link can now shield SDI if a projectile hits his Hero's Shield, thanks to update 4.0.0.

Update 7.0.0 brought the most noteworthy buffs to Toon Link's kit. His dash attack was given less ending lag, both hits of his down smash now deal more knockback, his back aerial now hits earlier, and has a slightly longer hitbox duration. His down aerial is now drastically stronger than it was before due to it now dealing more damage and is not fully compensated for its knockback. And finally, his grab aerial's hitbox lasts 2 frames longer. Due to these changes, Toon Link's KO potential and spacing were improved.

Update 10.1.0 made Aerial Spin Attack much more consistent by giving it much better hitboxes and a more favorable angle if Toon Link is moving forward.

Overall, Toon Link fares slightly better than he did at the launch of Ultimate.
