Young Link is a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. mod Smash Remix. He was added into the mod in its v0.7 release on June 12, 2019. Initially, Young Link completely replaced Link due to it not being possible at the time to add new characters into Smash 64 alongside the rest of the cast. With the release of v0.9 on October 28th of that year, however, it became possible for players to use both Young Link and Link in the mod.

Fujiko Takimoto reprises her role as Young Link through archived audio from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Attributes

Young Link functions most similarly to his Melee self, being a faster, but weaker clone of Link. Starting in v1.3.0, however, his down special was changed to have him utilize Bombchus.

Profile

The little fairy boy from the forest was ever excited the day the Great Deku Tree summoned him. With his helpful friend Navi by his side, the young boy set out to save the land of Hyrule from the ever-encroaching darkness. Even though he is not as large as his adult form, he is adept with bows, bombchus, and boomerangs.
