Toon Link is an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in which he can be unlocked by either clearing [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]] and/or going through the hidden door in [[The Forest]] stage, clearing {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} with any character on any difficulty after clearing The Subspace Emissary, or by participating in 400 [[Versus Mode|VS matches]].

As a [[semi-clone]] of {{SSBB|Link}} and a successor to {{SSBM|Young Link}}, Toon Link's moveset is almost identical to theirs, although with some differences. One of the most obvious is his [[Bomb (Link)#Toon Link's Bombs|Bomb]], which emits an explosion that uses the art style from ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Phantom Hourglass''.

One of the most notable differences is his [[Bomb (Link)#Toon Link's Bombs|Bomb]], which emits an explosion that uses the art style from ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Phantom Hourglass''.


However, there are mechanical differences as well, as the explosion has greater range, but less power compared to Young Link and Link's. Toon Link's neutral special, [[Hero's Bow]], charges faster than Young Link's and shoots arrows farther compared to his and Link's. However, it charges slower than Link's, and his arrows fly slower than Link's. Toon Link's [[Spin Attack]] functions like Young Link's, as it traps opponents by hitting them multiple times before launching them away. However, it grants more distance when used as a recovery move, especially in comparison to Link's. Like Young Link, Toon Link possesses the [[Boomerang]] as his side special and as such, it provides noticeable differences compared to Link's [[Gale Boomerang]]: it does not push/pull opponents and grants more control when throwing it.
